So out comes the ad hominem comment trying to belittle the position by suggesting that the opinion isn’t based on a lifetime of experience including Education and Military service in Europe that occurred long before cable television programming existed. It certainly couldn’t be based on a broad range of information sources (admittedly, mostly from the internet lately) that includes less and less from all TV sources.
Rather, a closed little mind would lob a vacuous comment that should play well to other like-minded shallow thinkers.
If you don’t like my opinion, let’s hear something intelligent about how the TDF and the French administration have been paragons of fair-play and consistency. Then I could counter with examples of French judges taking bribes at Olympic skating venues. You could respond with something else that had some thought or history behind it. It would be possible then, just perhaps, to have a discussion on this discussion board and one or both of us might learn something.
Save your playground taunts for when you can deliver them in person.
