Politics Threads on a Cycling Forum

The one that Suntour won?

I thought it was Benelux.

I do sometimes wonder why those who have the insight to see the general all-round uselessness of our politicians and constantly highlight where they are getting it all wrong aren't leading us into some utopian new world order rather than arseing about on a cycling forum.

That only works in the real world. Not on forums where you have no control over who comes on here.

And who is forcing you to post on CC? It’s no different to a club or pub. You do have a choice.

More politics, Benelux was a political economic union of several European countries.

I thought it was Sram, but I can't pronounce it.

Ah yes, as Aesop wrote.....A man is known by the company he keeps.

You’re still here then?

I find the banter funny on the political threads. Much better than the jokes threads.

If you don't like politics threads on the forum, why start one? And if users don't like them then why contribute? It's not rocket science.

I haven't got a TV by the way, and I hate social media.

Yup but it wasn’t me who was slagging off CC members.

Just curious- why???????

Noodle, there are 53 separate forums on CC... there is even a News and Current Affairs Forum. The Cycle Chat Cafe is just one of the 53... a place people can talk about anything which intrigues or interests them and doesn't have to be themed or specific to cycling.

Think of it as a cafe that cyclists visit which normal people can pop in to now and again...

There really are politics forums?
Do they have cycling sections?

They used to, but it caused so much bad feeling and flouncing they banned it.

 

[sleuthey]

because it’s CYCLEChat not POLITICSchat....

It’s a cafe section with in a cycling forum.

If you get a bunch of scaffolders in Starbucks then they sit there talking about women and football. It’s the same principle in the CC cafe.

If you want chat about cycling only then just go to the cycling sections then if the forum.

I think that's an oxymoron.

 

[Archie_tect]

Conversely, can you think of anything else, other than a love of cycling, that could bring such a diverse group of opinionated, ugly, rude, objectionable, argumentative and just plain awkward group of reprobates together in one place?

Why didn't you post this in the ......er........so called Politics thread?
