As others stated the US is about 5% of the world population but consume 30% of the world's energy. This point I'm with you on...
As for the hungry mouths but American's not wanting to lower their standards this is a very very stupid comment. America gives more proportionately than Croatia does. Americans gave, per capita, three and a half times as much to causes and charities as the French, seven times as much as the Germans, and 14 times as much as the Italians.
I guess if America were poor and hungry we'd use less energy. Only problem is that you wouldn't be there for us would you Placebo? You can post on blogs about other's greed but how much did you donate to charity this year? Do you have a car? Well you obviously have a computer. Hypocrit
