America doesn't care much about cyclist deaths

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

your fun personality must make you the life of the party. Good luck with that.

I wasn't trying to be fun. I was actually trying to ascertain whether you were serious. People say some crazy things nowadays (as evidenced in the thread here) and, at times, it can be tough to read whether it is sarcasm or not. Also- I'm a big Groucho Marx fan and would rather that the US gets the credit for him.

Sorry for ruining your joke...

It's cool. I think my joke ruined itself to be fair.

A little concrete?

And you choose to correct Groucho's birthplace, in the name of clearing the record, but leave poor Karl still hung out to dry?

This seems to have gone off into some strange lands. It might be better to move it to Politics and Religion and if anyone feels strongly, PM a mod or 2 (better chance og getting one online) and that can be explored.
