American Couple Believing 'Evil Is A Make-Believe Concept' Bike Through ISIS Territory. End up Dead

[toobfreak]

Only problem is, when Trek first came out with their carbon fiber frame, the glue they used for the aluminum bottom bracket wasn't that great, and their frames kept cracking about 1 inch above the bottom bracket. To tell the truth? I think that the Columbus steel frame rides better than carbon fiber.

Not that it has anything to do with the OP, but you're referring to the 90s Trek Y bike. Great bikes. The rear shock detachment and the cracks were a result of the frame being engineered for a certain design limit for the ultimate in racing competition to minimize weight and some people exceeding that. Most Y frames never detached or cracked. They learned their lesson and upped the mass of the frame in 98 for that select few who were beating the living bejeezus out of them. I like the original Y series the best. Never had a problem with one yet.

True carbon is light and absolutely rigid, so of course a heavier inertial mass frame made of metal (flexes) will absorb energy have a different feel to the ride.

Hmm.....................maybe I was too strong for their frames when they first came out. Was able to hit 66 mph downhill, could do 53 drafting behind something, hit 48 in a sprint, and my cruising speed was 20 to 25 mph.

But, like I said, since I got my Lemond, it's been a great bike and still rides excellent. Damn................I just realized that my Lemond is 21 years old! Gonna be an antique in another 4 years.

Fun fact: More Americans get struck by lightning, than get killed by ISIS.

That's only because we are actively engaged in keeping people like YOU from letting more in.

HEY, TRUMPTARD.


stop parroting FAKE NEWS and educate yourself?



Diversity visa applicants are vetted, despite contrary claim from White House press secretary

WH press sec. claims diversity visa immigrants not vetted

Sorry, but you liberals want to let anyone in that wants to. Proven fact. Anytime anyone says they want to halt potential terrorists form coming in, you cry racist. Every time.

 

[Valerie]

no, what people are trying to do is uphold our BASIC constitutional principles.

the trumptard rabble's reaction to these earnest efforts is FAKE NEWS.

 

[Theowl32]

Turns out this story is pretty true.


LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one side operates with rational methods based on facts and constitutional principles, and YOUR side reacts on emotion and operates with blatant disregard for our most BASIC constitutional principles...that is a PROVEN FACT.

your talking points are all FAKE NEWS designed for dumbos!

Everything about the left is antithetical to surviving and thriving. They support abortion. That brings a lot left lefties into the world. They support socialism - that ensures poverty for them. And they support idealism. That results in many of them being eliminated before they breed.

In the long term - the left literally has 0 chance of ruling the world like the desire. Their ideology ensures their own defeat.

Evil is real. It exists. And its horrific. As these two nitwits just found out. They have illustrated why the left-wing ideology is completely doomed.

‘Evil is a make-believe concept’: US couple trumpets global goodness on bike trek. ISIS kills them.

I stop merging after the 4th thread on a topic.

The left is going to make gains in these midterms and you and the other Trump Tards are going to be standing there the day after Election Day with your dick in your hands.

If that were the case then they wouldn’t have to lie about the walkaway movement.

In reality they are scared shitless of Straka and #walkaway because they know that their power is dropping in even the bluest states.

Oh STFU.

There were many threads about how the right was doomed after the 2008 election.

These idiots deserve a Darwin Award. 4cereal

Liberalism kills and evil is real.

Via Daily Wire:

A young American couple who took a year-long bike trip around the world, believing that evil was a make-believe concept, took a fatal route through ISIS territory in Tajikistan, where alleged ISIS terrorists stabbed them to death.

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, 29, quit their jobs last year in order to make their trip. Austin was a vegan who worked for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Geoghegan, a vegetarian who worked in the Georgetown University admissions office.

Edge:

Look who they work for. They were both surrounded by idiots at work and probably at home. Nobody to talk some sense into them.

What the fuck does this story have to do with "Liberalism"?

Literally everything.

Literally the opposite of reality.

These dipshits operated on emotion and they were killed by the logical conclusion to that.

 

[Pete7469]

I know how danerous the world is. You haven’t warned me about shit. At the time, Tajikistan had the lowest travel concern rating from the State Department. It’s not like they peddled through some ISIS camp in Syria offering free hugs.

Yeah, but the fact you can envision it says something.

Running around in any third world country without local guides or friends is foolish.

Riding a bike in the Middle East? That's just liberal stupid there. It's the bottom of the Kola Bore Hole.

 

[Correll]

Fun fact: More Americans get struck by lightning, than get killed by ISIS.

And that is the type of thinking that these libs tried to prove.

 

[ptbw forever]

Wow Oosie on the Loosie. Might wanna hit "Delete post" while you still can....

I am extra Hormonal and emotional, Kid E arrives now in approx 4 weeks.

Good job Lucy!!!!

 

[Correll]

They didn’t bike through ISIS territory, but I am not surprised the ghouls are all giddy over these murders.

They tried to make a political point. They ended up making the exact opposite political point.


Fear of the "Other" is not always irrational.
