#1 Not to worry the Danish Banditos will win.

#2 I'm sure Sonny Barger would say, "Hey, no sweat. Let bygones be bygones." right after he gutted a few of the pretenders. This is yet another "Cause -> Effect" episode.

#3 More than anything, I'm curious about whether anyone will have the wisdom to perceive that encouraging high schoolers to glorify or masquerade as a bunch of violent hopped up biker thugs might not have been the best decision.

#4 As they do with "Gansta" rappers and Hip-hop stars gunning each other down?

Yeah, that decision kinda failed the Spock Logic Test...

-----------------

Absolutely! I view it as some sort of homebrew preemptive capital punishment for budding class A felons.

#7 Ah, the rub. Were it not for free speech, perhaps these kids wouldn't hear this crap and aspire to live it out... then, perhaps, they might have other interests which actually prepare them for "melting" and assimilating into the economies of their native countries. Spouting "wh'sup?" usually acts as a serious damper on the interview process, unless it's to run the deep-fryers.

A lot of "perhaps" - I know. But every young thug is potentially a productive citizen... if the possibilites can break through the inanely barbaric static that passes for youth culture. There is nothing more idiotic, IMHO, than watching some little white twinkie, such as Eminem, pretending to have a clue about being tough or down and out - emulated by a crowd of equally clueless twinkettes all sporting spastic hand gestures. In my youth, I practiced real thuggery on such succulent little 'tards. Lunch money, yumm. Yet I "ended" my programming career by paying max SocSec for the last 17 years.

#8 We're agreeing far too often, .com. This message board's buffer must have a stuck bit somewhere.

#9 But, in case you're unaware, you're rather often being cryptic - or disingenuous - leaving some of us to wonder if you're a legitimate contributor - or just the droll troll wasting our time.

Hey, they don't have individual "kill file" rules for browsing weblogs (yet), but I'll just ignore you should you choose to play coy. BTW, I don't need you to agree with me any more than you care if I mirror your opinions - so we'll just play this straight up.

#10 But, in case you're unaware, you're rather often being cryptic - or disingenuous - leaving some of us to wonder if you're a legitimate contributor - or just the droll troll wasting our time.

Feel free to indicate precisely where. I make a point of being consistent in my statements and view those who are not as pond scum.

#11 The Ann Coulter Op-Ed Article where I first encountered you personally. I've even posted a follow-up. You asked. I answered. We'll see.

#12 That bar fight would have been brutal...
Ever see "Kill Bill"?
