I think you need to do a little research about income equality, happiness indexes, and standards of living. America isn't bad but there are much better.
Also, I don't consume American culture and thought everyday. I live in the UK and happily read British newspapers (bearing in mind we've had printed news before America even existed), listen to European rooted music, drive a French car, and watch British TV and comedies. I think you'll find that American culture in America is so fucking Ameri-centrist that you don't realise that other cultures thrive happily in their native countries, we just don't feel the need to force them on each other.
And fucking lol at "for any real change to happen in our society it has to happen in America first", you haven't even got a nationalised health service. In lots of aspects, America is decades in the past and the conservative right wing nut cases will happily regress it even further if they can.

In the UK - police, social services, youth services, schools, benefits of all kinds, mental health services, disability services, ambulance, fire service etc etc etc all having budgets cut. Yet we found billions to spend on aimlessly bombing the middle east.

Am I being silly by being more concerned about the disastrous cuts to public services than the 'terror threat'?

The Bike Shop / Re: Let's talk about chain lube
« on: November 21, 2015, 04:13:57 PM »
I use White Lightning Epic, and I think it's brilliant as long as you are happy reapplying every now and then. This is on my Road/CX bike so gets ridden for a lot of miles, and I probably like to re-lube every 200 miles or so, maybe more frequently if it's dirty or wet rides. Definitely recommended.
I've also got some pedros stuff which I put on my fixie commuter bike. I basically lube it every 6 months (only do 15 miles a week on it) and its fine but fucking hell is it messy, black shit everywhere. Thinking about putting Epic on that bike so I don't have to deal with grease marks everywhere.
Another thing to note is how you apply the lube. If I'm not doing a full degrease, then I wipe the chain with a WD-40 soaked rag, and then slowly apply one droplet to each pin so it floods the bushing section. Then once I've done the whole chain, I spin the cranks a run through the gears. Then wipe off excess lube from the outside of the chain. This works wonders with the Epic lube - smooth, quiet, clean chain.
Apparently candle wax is the ultimate chain lube though.

Right so, because a couple of people used the refugee crisis to act as terrorists, we should prevent any coming in?
I assume you would back the banning of guns, because a few idiots use them to kill others?

Turns out all the suspects were EU nationals with European passports. Can't blame the refugees now.

ISIS confirmed they were responsible and that the attacks were a direct response to French air strikes in Syria

Why did you not include Bush in your list of presidents?
This attack makes a lot of sense - an attack on the most accessible country that is involved in the attacks on the middle east. UK and USA have sea borders, much easier to get into France. Also, US rock concert and large football match targeted, both prime examples of western culture. Maybe they're pissed off with us fucking around in their countries?

« on: November 13, 2015, 04:35:28 PM »The 1400 muslim carried out rape cases in your own country in the last 20 years doesn't make your blood boil?
Where has that figured come from? There are an estimated 85,000 rape cases per year in the UK, so ~1.7 million in the last 20 years. 1400 is a drop in the ocean compared to how much we rape each other.
some tin foil shit about predicting this all
So what? Anyone with sense could see the problem manifesting, and anyone with sense knows its all interlinked. I'm not arguing against that, am I?
But if you think it's an "invasion" then you're fucking brainwashed. A vocal minority may have some pie in the sky plan to islamise Europe but the reality is most just want to live somewhere safe, preferably their home country but that's not feasible right now
