No, I don't hate it. You see, this is America, where a Republican can
be disappointed with Republican leadership, and Democrats can be
disappointed with Democratic leadership.

You're just getting dumber and dumber every day, aren't you, sockpuppet.

Like 99.99% of American boony-boy watch with concupiscence my nice
country (don't be ashamed every nations do that).

In the above excerpt he try to give me a lesson of democracy...
What vain efforts !
He seems to forget that France is the country of human being, this idiot
never read Voltaire, Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau...
He seems to forget that while the above philosophers was writing your
futur, your ancestors was starting to exterminate indian nation !

I was joking.

Do you know the only thing he is jealously envying in my beautiful country ?
He thing that, without any trouble, you can let your old Mom and Dad
agonize alleging it's due to an exceptionnal summer !

Hey Lionel, are we going to have to send Lance Armstrong back to kick

You remind me of Laurent Fignon when he lost the Tour to American Greg LeMond
on the last day in that epic time trial. Poor Laurent - wearing the yellow jersey at
the start of the day - pulled up to the finish line knowing he had lost the race and
the yellow jersey, and then fell to the ground crying like a little baby. Boo-hoo-hoo.

Hello
GeoSync
I'm glad to find someone to discuss with me my first hobby...

Are you interested in biking ? Me too !
So you can imagine that I like a lot Lance Armstrong. He really recall
me Bernard Hinault same agressivity, same pugnaciousness.
The way he fighted and won against the cancer is a lesson of courage and
optimism for every human being (so, irrelevant for Bonnie Phillips. LOL!
and Georg "Bin Laden" Middius LOL - LOt's !).

You are interested in biking... Do you practise ? I practise a lot and I
have met a lot of your nice american fellows during the '99
Paris-Brest-Paris cyclotourist raid :
http://www.audax-club-parisien.com/
http://www.rusa.org/pbp.html
This is really a life experience, I still have link with some of them in
Texas and North Carolina. Two Frenchies arrived first in +44 hours this
year. I was in Spain this summer but I know that this year they arrived
in a group of six (5 Frenchies and a guy from Belgium) they done the
1216 km in +42 hours !!! It's faster and faster, too much for me.

I love sport but I haven't any real passion for the patriotic exaltation
this child of mass-media propaganda.
For example here in Europe football (soccer) is really contaminated by
such crazy patriotic supporters and too many people died (also children
and women) in stadiums because of some insane hooligans. This make me
feel so sad.
But these are awful news we can forget, when we quietly bike on small
mountain roads or in the in country side. I say *we* because I am sure
that we share the same opinion.

Sport is also to much contaminated by money.
Athleticism is the typical example of both contamination : patriotism
and business.
In '70 and early '80 cheaters was from East-Europe and now they are from
West-Atlantic.
But we must be optimistic. We have had recently Mondial championship
here in Paris. I have heard that this things go better and better. It
seems that since athletes stop shooting themselves whith Columbia
motor-fuel they live longer but win less (100m sprinters for example).

Anyway, you and me aren't really concern in these exacerbate behaviours.
If you are interested in any information or litterature concerning
biking (race and/or cyclotourism) please feel free to contact me on RAO
(why not) or directly to my private email.

With kind regards,
Lionel

Oh yeah, who can forget those images of blood dripping down Hinault's
face after he had crashed but got back on his bike and was determined
to keep going. That was the year Greg LeMond was Hinault's teammate
and helped win the Tour, and Bernard promised to help LeMond win the
Tour in the next year. I'm glad to see Hinault on the podium now to
congratulate all the winners on each stage of the Tour.

The way he fighted and won against the cancer is a lesson of courage and
optimism for every human being (so, irrelevant for Bonnie Phillips. LOL!

George is a fat, gay cripple and he curses fate for his lot in life.

Boonie, on the other hand, is alright in my boo, if a little caustic.

I think this article
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=34372
articulates what Boon and I think is the root cause that precipitated
all those tragic, unnecessary heat-related deaths in France.

Back when I was living in Chicago, I used to ride my bike a lot down
along the beaches next to Lake Michigan. I had a Mercier 10-speed,
which was a great bike and I really liked it a lot. After moving out here
to southern California, I had a DeRosa for like $1,500 bucks and I
used to ride it a lot, but not much anymore, because everybody drives
cars out here and most of them drive like maniacs, so it's gotten way
too dangerous to be riding a bike around town. The poor DeRosa
is relegated to bike-training stand and I occasionally exercise on it
but that gets boring after a while.

The only other sport I'm interested is Formula 1 racing. Last year was boring
because Michael won the driver's championship so early in the season, but
this year is quite interesting as Mika, Juan and Ralph all have a shot at
beating Michael for the championship.

A Mercier ? The manufacturing plant *was* (so sad) in my hometown like
JM Lab loudspeakers (Focal)... Sorry to be so vain ;-)
Here in my area we had a lot of small "artisanal"(is it correct ?)
manufacturers of frame for bike, the one I today ride (Vitus steel) has
been offer by my father long time ago. Obviously some accessories
(brakes, wheels...) have been change so many time but as I use to be a

Ok ! Thank you for closing so kindly this "Ubuesque" war...

PS : don't look for for my name in the Paris-Brest-Paris racers list
'cause I've never done this raid.
It was just a way to make a fool of you if you would have told me :

I would have answered :
- I never pretended that these web sites keep a full list of the

It must be a better article than I thought!

I see that as is his habit, Middius starts out by misstating several major
theses of the article.

For example, Middius claims that:

(1) "...the "ideas" of communism, fascism, etc. were the root causes of the
waves of misery endured by generations of Europeans;

In fact the article says:

"Europe has given the world Marxism, communism, fascism, Nazism, racism and
socialism, all rotten ideas that have caused immeasurable human suffering."

(2) "Americans invented the notion of 'hard work to earn money';"

In fact the article says:

"The New York Times recently featured an article describing the death of the
Protestant work ethic in secular, socialist Europe and the thriving of that
ethic in America - and that this explains the far greater productivity and
affluence of America. The Judeo-Christian tradition values work; secularism
doesn't. And as we all know from watching our children, people with a lot of
time on their hands have character problems."

Given that the last sentence describes Middius to a *T*, we can understand
why he can't possibly comprehend it and paraphrase it accurately - that
would be too much like self-awareness!

So here in the words of Middius we have a prime example of "Ideologically
Induced Reading Comprehension Problems". Some things never seem to change
and some people on RAO never seem to learn.

I mean that in a first step you will have to detail and analyze the 3

3. Character problems

In a second step you will have to clearly detail how they interact in

STARKE, Floride (AP) -- Paul Hill, un ancien pasteur protestant, a été
exécuté mercredi à Starke en Floride pour les meurtres, en 1994, d'un
médecin pratiquant l'avortement et de son garde du corps.

Hill a été déclaré mort à 18h08 (22h08 en temps universel), a annoncé le
bureau du gouverneur de la Floride, Jeb Bush, frère du président des
Etats-Unis.

Loin de regretter son geste à la veille de son exécution pour le meurtre
d'un médecin pratiquant des interruptions volontaires de grossesse, le
militant anti-avortement avait confié qu'il s'attendait à une «grande
récompense au Paradis».

Paul Hill, qui avait 49 ans, avait été condamné à mort pour les meurtres
du Dr John Britton, et de son garde du corps, le lieutenant-colonel à la
retraite James Herman Barrett. L'épouse de ce dernier, June Barrettn
avait été blessée dans la fusillade. Paul Hill n'avait pas fait appel de
la condamnation. AP

Quack, quack, quack .. burble, burble, burble ... gloop, gloop, gloop.

"The New York Times recently featured an article describing the death of the
Protestant work ethic in secular, socialist Europe and the thriving of that
ethic in America - and that this explains the far greater productivity and
affluence of America. The Judeo-Christian tradition values work; secularism
doesn't. And as we all know from watching our children, people with a lot of
time on their hands have character problems."

"Loin de regretter son geste à la veille de son exécution pour le
meurtre d'un médecin pratiquant des interruptions volontaires de
grossesse, le militant anti-avortement avait confié qu'il s'attendait à
une «grande récompense au Paradis».

Paul Hill, qui avait 49 ans, avait été condamné à mort pour les meurtres
du Dr John Britton, et de son garde du corps, le lieutenant-colonel à la
retraite James Herman Barrett. L'épouse de ce dernier, June Barrettn
avait été blessée dans la fusillade. Paul Hill n'avait pas fait appel de
la condamnation."

Sorry for untranslated text but anyway you know the story...
Also sorry for this unfair juxtaposition, I cannot resist.

"He died as a martyr, I wish this will motivate some vocations" could
have said Dennis Prager.

I know it's not really funny but I remember now the last paragraph when
he said :

"As I wrote in a previous column, the future of the world is either
European secular socialism, Islamic totalitarianism or the unique
American combination of Judeo-Christian religiosity and political and
economic liberty.
Few Americans are attracted to the second possibility, but vast numbers
look to Europe as a model"

It's seems that Paul Hill is an hybrid of the second and the third.

LOL !

Ooops !

Dormer's wide awake:

I totally agree. I was going to address that article point-by-point,
but it's so full of crap it's not worth the effort.

And neither are you.

Ad hominem attack noted!

My, but that's very observant of you!

(Well, at least you're one of the few who can spell ad hominem correctly.)
