As much as I understand what you're saying, the situation I'm ranting about does not have that issue. The bike lane is just as clean, if not cleaner than the actual main road. There is ZERO (except for other cyclists) danger of riding in that lane.
They aren't crossing anything. They're literally riding on the pavement instead of the bike lane. Nothing against cycling, but if the majority of them are going to cry to have tax-payer dollars spent on a fucking paved road just for them, it seems fucking stupid that they don't.
I don't know, maybe the fact that "fucking", "retardedly" and "stupid" were used one after the other would have provoked the sense that aggression was being used.
No. Seriously, look it up. You just constructed your own definition of what racism is, without even knowing the proper definition of what a race is.
The fact that I would hate the cultural behavior of the town 1 hour from here, or hate the cultural behavior of the French in general, makes absolutely no difference. Both groups are comprised of very cool people, but the culture is still fucking hogwash. That doesn't change the fact that I am Acadian born, French of origin, and Caucasoid of race. I simply choose to not buy into the overall mentality, which exists in all cultures, whether you like it or not.
Stop trying to attack me personally and try to understand my point of view for once.
Out of the 4 people who bashed my head in for my out-of-line comment, yours was the most insightful. Thank you. I might actually look into it, but for the record, my comment was 100% written with about 2 minutes of research time and rantMode set to true.
I'd love to visit Europe someday, but my list of places to visit start in much more remote locations. Seeing as I live in Canada, I don't actually need to leave the country for the most part. I'd rather die to a grizzly bear than some religiously fulled fanatics.
At this point you're just attacking me personally, and doing a poor job of it mind you. I expressed my opinion, you challenged it in some weird way, I clarified my position by providing personal experiences.
Are you capable of more than one-line, nonsensical, arguments? That would be great if we're going to keep this up. Your statements suck.
Just as an fyi... French and English people are not a "race". Look it up before calling people racists.
You must be from France, because you're taking serious offense going through every comment in this thread mentioning this guy being from France, and specifying he's from Luxembourg. Not like there's any real difference between the two...
I wasn't bitching about his nationality, I was bitching at the cultural behavior of French people in general. Quebec and France being the worse, but definitely not the exceptions.
My buddy from my college days was from France, awesome fellow.
This isn't me dumping all French people into one basket. This is me asserting an observation I've made throughout my 27 years on this planet.
Clearly there are English speaking people who feel the same about French speaking people, just like there are Chinese speaking people who feel the same about Japanese speaking people (sorry I don't know the proper name for the Japanese common language, so I left both as Chinese and Japanese)
When the "Oh no we're losing our language! We need to ban everything that isn't French from our schools!" agenda is shoved down your throat deep enough, you'll understand how I feel about this.
So you're saying a Frenchman said English is losing importance? Sounds like typical butthurt Frenchie behavior to me.
Disclaimer: I was born and brought up French. I think the language wars are fucking stupid and hate it when French people walk into a restaurant, making a scene at the fact the waiter doesn't speak perfect fucking French (add emphasis on the "fucking").
While I don't disagree, the problem with that model is that the prices always end up inflating to an unfair amount, and the cycle simply repeats itself. It's kind of like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?... [Please Sing-a-long]

Easy, just go piss off a few French people and parrot anything they say.
In short, think of 1925, but with rampant money instead of uncontrolled debt.
Ah yes. I remember like it was yesterday. What a year that was.
You're being very optimistic about the general viewer-base there.
Untrue.
If I keep giving my cat food, eventually it curls up into a ball and sleeps for a very long time.
Is this a big enough herring for you?

Wow! No way!
As much as I understand what you're saying, the situation I'm ranting about does not have that issue.

No, I'm not talking about sidewalks. I'm talking about a literal bike lane, with signs designating said lanes to bicycles.
They aren't crossing anything. They're literally riding on the pavement instead of the bike lane.
Nothing against cycling, but if the majority of them are going to cry to have tax-payer dollars spent on a fucking paved road just for them, it seems fucking stupid that they don't.
Yes, I'm getting angry.
Or when they PAVE a nice bike route right BESIDE the main road, only for cyclists to use the main road anyways...
Someone important, I curl up in a ball and cry.
Anyone else, I tell them to fuck off.
Ok I get it now. You live in your own little bubble.
That's fine, enjoy your life mate.
I don't think you understood my point.
Generally, I enjoy seclusion from the population.
I don't know, maybe the fact that "fucking", "retardedly" and "stupid" were used one after the other would have provoked the sense that aggression was being used.
If you take a moment to observe; all of his comments seem to automatically get upvoted by at least 1.
No.

No, I'm from Canada, and I was mindlessly ranting.
Glad it made your day though.
