hey you stole the pun thing from what I said on MSN...
Anyway, i'll quote my news in July post
Team Luxembourg, coming to you QUICKer than you think. - Yes L'Equipe says these will be the Luxembourg team's sponsor.
Fast food chain in France, Belgium and I'm quite sure Luxembourg. (Think: Burger King - these are McDonalds main competitor in those countries)

Hillis: Any news regarding it should be posted in the Transfer thread.
Concerning the Lux team, there's a been a few rumours saying that they won't be ready for the 2011 season. I doubt it's true, though. |

Nationalism is crap.
Meanwhile, the power outputs figures have finally surfaced on cyclismag. Contador and Schleck were both less powerful than last year, of course Contador lost a bit more than Schleck.
Still, despite the quite coward racing, the figures are high, too high to be natural that is. |

That's quite an understatement.
Saying people from your country are innately better just translates as "Hi there. I'm a xenophobic moron with an IQ lower than my shoe size. Please punch me in the face, as I don't learn any other way".
Sadly, every person from that poster's country I've ever met (in person) has been like that. Which, to me, was suprising, horrifying and disgusting in equal measure.
Seems to be the result of very strong national government propaganda. Sickening in this day and age.

More to the point, how does he fail to spell his own nations name so many times?

Since he is referring to a guy from Israel, my guess would be Israel.  |

So what, every Israeli is a stuck up asshole who thinks he/she is better than any other person on the planet?
Frankly, Israel was founded on the notion that 6 million (really 7) of us walked to our deaths in the Holocaust, and that will never happen again. And with that guarantee comes a very strong "don't fuck with us" attitude, which every Israeli I have ever known has.
Nationalism is what has kept the Jewish people alive for the last three and a half thousand years, so no, it isn't stupid. And we're going to get a nice reminder about that thanks to cycling in 5 days.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention how awesome it is an Israeli is going to a major team.

Do not worry comembers of the internet, there will be plenty of time to discuss Israel once they launch commando-strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities within the next few weeks.

Fine, what do you want instead of Nazis? Romans? the Church? The French? Cossacks? Philistines?
And the second part of your post proves my point about the attitude that Israel as a country carries. It is to create just the opinion that you showed there. |

Oh, I clicked to enter PCM.Daily and somehow I ended up in politics forum.
My two cents: nationalism=bad.
Now call me when the discussion comes back to cycling. |
