Three cyclists arrest black people in Starbucks for loitering

Ok so this is kind of in jest and a poke at Road CC for including some very tenuous links to 'cyclists' in their articles, this is pretty horrible stuff, arrested for hanging out and literally doing nothing to justify what happened.

These noddy hat wearing wankers are no cycling bretheren I want to ever be associated with, they give all cyclists a bad name ...

The United States of America. A country founded by and built on the backs of immigrants, with a President who has an immigrant (Scottish) mother, which constantly complains about immigration. 

I think they bloody well invented irony.

And on the backs of involuntary immigrants.

I think you're being a bit harsh on our American cousins. After all, they won the Second World War for us, invented the internet, improved our outdated English language, and have made the world a much safer place for the past 60 years. Credit where it's due, credit where it's due.

Uhr... none of that is exactly true... But that's an entirely different topic of discussion.

Uhr. None of it is at all true (even though they'll claim them). That was my point.

The Soviets had a great deal to do with winning the "Great Patriotic War",  and there are different opinions on the American effect on our language. You might also find other countries don't think the USA made them more peaceful. The Vietnamese still suffering from Agent Orange chemical warfare,  or the Iraqis living in Falluja burnt by the evil white phosphorus ( more WMD) did not feel very safe. Credit where it is due. In many of those years many people were living in dread of Mutual Assured Destruction.

Let's not forget that the U.S. is the only country to use nuclear bombs on civilians.

I wonder if anybody noticed that you were being "ironic"? I cannot detect any hint.

I'll second Davel's experience.

We were on holiday in Arizona and wanted to walk about 150m to a restaurant from our motel. No sidewalks and we ended up having to climb through bushes to do it. Americans just don't seem to understand why people would want to walk and think that you must be retarded.

Unfortunately, we didn't meet the "most intelligent people" that Davel did. Instead we met people who thought that the reason why we didn't find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was because they sneakily destroyed them (without any records whatsoever) just to discredit the U.S. and also a bloke in Walmart who couldn't understand the word "battery".
