Is there an implied heirarchy in the order in which you've listed these issues?

Where does a pudding soup rate? What if you ate it when walking?

Part of me hopes there is a person out there who disagrees with every one of those statements. I wonder what they would be like...

There's no hierarchy, but you do make me wonder how European beer compares to American coffee. No, come to think of it, it's pretty obvious.

There is one mistake:

As everyone knows:
Americans > everyone else

Which invalidates
Europeans > Americans

plus have you seen Eurovision?

If by "Americans" I meant "North Americans" rather than "citizens of the USA", the Canadians would drag up the average substantially. But still not enough to catch even the Slovenians.
