There's only one real solution for this shit. That's as far as I'm going to take my opinions here.

Why would they cancel it 12 hours before the start of the race? Didn't the four Frenchies killed two weeks prior? If they were to cancel they should have last week, could have saved a lot of people the travel expenses. Although, who knows behind the scenes maybe they did have good intelligence of something brewing?

Not to mention billions of dollars of ad revenue, careers crushed, livelihoods dashed.

Hi Guys and Girls

What an absolute bastard to cancel that. Sad Sad Sad Sad The last of the great adventure rallies.

About 5 of my mates, SWMBO and I were looking forward to seeing the daily updates on TV. I even set the recorder on my PVR in case I didn't make it home in time. I just love watching the bikes and trucks and the the cars.

Hopefully it will be on again next year.

Not sure about that.

Seems like any time there is something good, something fun for freedom-loving people in the world there are Muslims there to try and crush it.

Well our friends from "the religion of peace" have done it again; they have found non-moslems having fun, which conflicts with their idea that everyone in the world should be as miserable and hateful as they are, and they have made another threat on the free world. It seems that we need to take a page from the playbook of The Greatest Generation. When Adolph Hitler decided that he wanted to turn the world into a wasteland of goose-stepping, violent, hatemongers, our fathers and grandfathers responded appropriately by slamming an iron fist right between the asshole's eyes. They understood that you cannot negotiate with fanatics, dictators and tyrants. The "Slick Willie" method of appeasement was tried by Neville Chamberlin and turned out to be a resounding failure. Unless and until the free world unites, stands together and tells the left to go and have a cup of "shut the fuck up", these maggots will continue to hold us hostage. What will it take to wake people up? Do we have to see New York and Paris go up in a mushroom cloud before we realize what we are dealing with? These fanatics are not civilized and we need to deal with them in the same way that our forefathers dealt with the biggest asshole of the 20th century. If you happen to be Moslem and are offended by this, then STAND UP and control your own rather than allowing "3 nice young engineering students with funny backpacks" to stay in your house without ever asking their names.
