I hate it when I have to explain my jokes.
Armenians are non-Chalcedonian.
Origin was Arminian? Perhaps we are being anachronistic a wee bit?
And why, again, do older Brits have such bad teeth? Have we found out why yet? My theory is that western Europeans of the WW2 generation, in general, endured such hardships and economic distress that they could not afford luxuries such as dentists, or even toothpaste! I bet you'd be hard-pressed to find an Italian or Frenchmen from that generation who has great teeth.

So they are. What exactly is it about Chalcedon that the Armenian church rejects?
Is it monophysite?
Miaphysite.
America was not exactly wealthy in the 1930's.
Younger Brits still have lousy teeth.
Africans half-starved living in putrid slums with no hygiene have gleaming white choppers, while Prince Charles is a snaggletooth.
It's genetic.
A good counterexample.
So, can modern hygiene, fluoridation and toothpaste overcome the British predisposition for bad teeth?
We need to civilize the British first, before we bring dental reform.
What the , Jim? Sounds like you need to go on a humanitarian mission to England.
Insert easy joke here -- about how the English were civilized before it began its fall to Islam.
i'm sorry. it's Pink Cellphone you need to listen to. Look up the lyrics and you'll see why
In addition to the NHS not covering dental care Time magazine reports that of the 14 million Brits who are covered for dental insurance less than 7% actually use the benefits. Still didn't say why though.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...792470,00.htmlBritain's Nuffield Foundation, hoping to find out, last week gave $360,000 to four universities to look hard into the British mouth. Some suspected that part of the money had best be invested in propaganda against indifference: of the 14,000,000 Britons whose insurance en les them to dental care, less than 7% apply for it.
And according to NPR, Britain's Commisson for Patient and Public involvement found 6% of Britons have performed major dental work on their own, without the help of professional dentists.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/news/2007/1..._their_ow.htmlA new report from Britain's Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health finds that 6 percent of those surveyed had treated themselves, including pulling out their own teeth or using superglue to put crowns back on.

Although it demonstrates the problem is not new.
No ?
I didn't check the date, but I guess their online archives go back farther than I assumed.
Yeah, I remember when somebody first posted that on FortWaynePistonsTalk.
Back then, they called a forum a "party line" and you literally talked.
