I thought the one couple where the woman went up while her "man" hesitated and then he went up to stop her from getting a seat was pretty sad. I bet they have lots of issues.

5 I know, Vic. According to my husband, having any understanding whatsoever for the people who decided not to seat themselves makes me a total wimp.

6

Lauraw, you'd have a hard time getting anyone who knows me to describe me as a wuss but I would have ditched with my wife.

Discretion is the better part of valor and any man who thinks putting his wife in a position that appears dangerous makes him a tough guy is a fool.

That was my first thought with the first couple. I would have turned around and walked out.

Recall Beck and his family at that NYC park thing.

9 Ron Paul would sit down, yell FIRE!!!, and then resist arrest while he screamed about his 1st Amendment rights.

10 So what's the big deal.  The couple in pink decided to take in a movie after getting their Gardasil shots.  Perfectly understandable.

11 Then after we gave 'em some beer, we took 'em out back and got them all tatted up the right way.

12 plus, let's be honest - when is the last time you've been to a movie that wasn't at an XXX theater in which the entire theater was filled with tatted up biker guys?  the couple might have thought they walked into a screening of ghey pr0n instead or something

13 does give off the same vibe as a febreeze commercial.
two young women are sitting alone  in a room(hell hole) on a couch , eyes covered, feeling safe,smells clean and yummy.. then take their eye covers off ,sees where they're sitting and one says," Hello" in an uncertain voice to the room.

14 It seems the media/propaganda complex is intent on goading us into lowering our guard;
 into vacating our better judgement; into ignoring a potentially clear and present danger.
Now, why would that be?

Heh, I think you answered your own question.

30 Wait a minute;  what film were they viewing that the audience was populated with a shitload of odoriferous bikers?

Was this the latest Sandra Bullock flick?

31 Meanwhile, in the real world, those guys would be pissed that their "scary looking guy" costumes didn't intimidate you. Not delighted that you saw through to their inner beauty.

32

With a relative paucity of blacks in N Europe, how do they cast "the stupid bald white man requiring edification by minority/woman" stereotype prevalent in American advertising?

This does point to an advantage long found in European movie theaters--beer available for sale while you sit and watch "Teh English Patient." 

33 The message to Europeans: don't worry about all those Muslims surrounding you, they just want to crack open a beer with you. Or chop off your head and rape your wife. Either way it's all good.

34 Yeah, someone mentioned "What was the movie?"  I mean, if it was "Midnight in Paris" or "Friends with Benefits" and I walked in with a date, I would immediately start pissing myself from laughter.  I mean, come on.

35 I see a tatoo and I immediately think either "ex-con" or "skank" and I don't care if that's not accurate the tatooee had gone to great lengths to give that impression.

There is no movie in the world that would be worth putting myself into a situation like this just to see. If I walked into a that situation, I would walk right back out.

How many problems can you spot in this sentence?

50 O/T, but that milk case in the sidebar is a load of cow manure.   The plaintiffs set up a sham scheme to avoid a state law requiring milk sold to the public to be pasteurized.   They sold raw milk to some people under this scheme.   30 of those who drank the raw milk  got campylobacter infections. (surprise, surprise!).

The state shut down the illegal sale of raw milk.

  The plaintiffs tried to obtain a summary judgment preventing the state from enforcing  its shutdown, claiming inter alia that the applicable statutes were unconstitutional.  Why were they, you ask?  Well, just because.  The plaintiffs offered no legal arguments for their position, just bald assertions.

The court denied the summary judgment.   There is nothing "surreal" about its decision, nor any legal holding about constitutional rights --- because those issues were not adjudicated.  You can find this case filed under "Mountain v. Molehill".

No. But the ones who are are pure friggin evil. Thankfully, they are relatively few amongst bikers.

There was a drug bust at a local Outlaws HQ a few weeks ago. It was located 3 miles straight down the road from me and I had no idea they were even there!

Yup, I heard that clip. It should be played over and over and over.

64 There are evolutionary advantages to some forms of "prejudice." Biker gangs have a well-deserved reputation for violence, and they sport fashion that clearly identifies their "tribal" affiliation. So does that make everyone dressed as a biker violent? No. But there does exist a stronger correlation between leather vests, tattoos, shaved heads and violence than between Brooks Brothers, gold-rimmed glasses, rep ties and violence. In order to survive, early humans needed to adapt efficient means of identifying possible threats in their environment. Bikers set off our radar, and for good reason. People walking out of that theatre may simply have higher-developed defense mechanisms than those who sat down. And for every woman who walks, bravely, up that aisle without her boyfriend there's another woman, somewhere, ignoring her boyfriend's request to stop jogging alone at night down dark, quiet streets. Bravery or stupidity? Darwin would have an opinion on that, I'm sure.

The crux of the joke is that it takes courage to sit down in a room full of scowling bikers. As with any good joke, it hinges on a truth we all recognize: that in this case, it *is* a dangerous situation.

And on a slightly personal note, a few years ago a friend actually was beaten by a biker simply for sitting in the "wrong seat" in a bar. I wouldn;t blame him for intolerance or prejudice if he turned around and walked out of the next bar - or movie theatre - filled with bikers.

65 garret, perhaps malignant, sick bastards is more upfront.

but do they want our country to explode? are they willing to pull it all down?
i'm not sure anymore. i never thought i'd hear this kind of shit from the top down.

66 Wouldn't bother me at all.  Never has before.  I'd feel safer there than if the crowd was all hippies.

Predators recognize each other.

I am firmly embedded at the top of the food change.

67 the fact that now i listen to our own President with a jaundiced eye expecting the worst is horrible.
i can't decide if I need a tinfoil hat or need to find a cave to live in.

68 BC has a good point. There is nothing wrong with the couples that bailed on the movie; the bikers WERE trying to intimidate anyone who came in there. But the couples that did take their seats showed a lot of balls.

69 Even though I would have somewhat blended in with that crowd, I would have been a little hesitant, because knowing all that I know about the biker crowd, they would be hooting and laughing it up before waiting for the movie to start. A dead silence is NOT good.

76 Did you see where the republicans at UC Berkeley are holding a bake sale with the price of items determined by race?

$2 for Caucasians
$1.50 for Asians
75 cents for African Americans
25 cents for Native Americans

They are trying to make the point about the unfairness and absurdity of using race for admissions but apparently the enlightened ones are too thick to see the parallels.

The republican club may now get kicked off campus for it.

77 A few years ago, a pair of black gentlemen stood outside a voting station in Philadelphia wearing scowls and vaguely militaristic clothing. One also carried a stick, for some unknown reason. And althought these men did absolutely no harm to anyone, many conservatives complained that the two men were somehow engaged in "voter intimidation."

But... what was so "intimidating" about those men? Their fashion sense? Their demeanors? Or was it some unspoken, yet obvious, threat delivered by both their clothing and their body language?

Were conservatives somehow being cowardly by complaining about these men? If any citizen actually felt too intimidated to vote, purely on the presence of these two men, would that citizen be subject to support... or mockery?

I don't know. But I'd sure love to see a beer commercial about *that* one...

78

The thing I don't like about bikers is this, they embrace the whole "fuck the world" lifestyle and attitude, but then they whine like little bitches that they're misunderstood when the world returns the favor.

And as far as predators recognizing each other, yes they do. Almost always as competitors, not friends. Just try walikg into a Hell's Angel bar while wearing Mongols colors, they'll recognize you alright.

79 My ex has a Harley, and rides with a bunch of other Harley people.  They like to think they are bikers (dress the part), but they are wannabees.  When he bought the Harley we were married, and since we could not afford the bike and his outfits, he would borrow my leather pants to wear (he couldn't button or zip them, though) just to look cool.  There is a real difference between real bikers and posers.  But when they are all together the mob mentality takes over, and they think they are the real deal.

80 RE: 80  As If! at September 25, 2011 12:13 PM (piMMO)

I saw that also and libs do not understand irony do they?  Unbelievable, as others here have stated you can't argue facts with a lib.  Sometimes highlighting the absolute absurdity of their beliefs sends their pointed little heads a spinning.

I would laugh if it wasn't so damn serious.  As I said in an email to my consevative sister and husband about that commie scrunt video of taking money from the "rich" the other day.  When I was younger, I knew who the enemy was and the goal of the military stationed in Germany at the time primary mission was to provide a 72 hour buffer for reinforcements  to arrive.  Now the enemy is firmly entrenched in the academemics and government.

81 I wonder if anyone just asked if they were in the wrong theater.

82 Stereotypes exist for a reason. People who look like violent stereotypes--because they are violent stereotypes--want you to forget that.

83

 

 Not hugely concerned with bikers, or their lifestyle. As long as they don't impinge on my lifestyle, we'll get along just fine. If any one of them fucks with me or mine, then I'll fuck right back--hard.

 I know, and have known several, and we do the careful social dance, mostly. There's no interaction past that, which suits me fine.

He forgot to mention it's only his job and opportunities they are fighting for?

85 There are actually 3 levels of harley rider

Die hard biker -1%er types, and we know who and what they are.

The die hard riders.- They love their harleys, ride them as much as they can, and other than the harley T shirt and leather jacket there is no real poser mentality with them, they are the gearheads of the harley world.

The overnight biker- The yuppie who buys one thinking it will get him laid. You can tell them immediately by the fact that they wear a ton of fucking harley brand accessories usually all mint because it was all bought at the same time. The harley brand boots, the harley brand jackets, the fucking "hog"  patch on their vest, the harley brand head wrap, and 1000 fucking gaudy harley brand bolt on items on their bike.


I built a lot of bikes for the last 2 groups, and with few exceptions they always follow that pattern. You won't catch me near that 1st group, they are insane.

86

"I know, and have known several, and we do the careful social dance, mostly. There's no interaction past that, which suits me fine."

I put bikers in basically the same category as gang bangers. The real ones are sociopathic lowlifes, and the posers try to trade on that image to get respect they haven't earned and don't deserve.

By trying to kick them off campus I would say that the point was made and the powers that be were not amused by that point.

90 85 I wonder if anyone just asked if they were in the wrong theater.  
I would have asked if this was a private screening and then based my response on further information.

91 "Were conservatives somehow being cowardly by complaining about these men? If any citizen actually felt too intimidated to vote, purely on the presence of these two men, would that citizen be subject to support... or mockery?" That's a good question, but no, conservatives should have complained, because those two assholes were trying to intimidate voters, I don't care what the Department of Justice says. The main problem is that ordinary citizens were not allowed to do anything even after it was clear the police weren't either. I would have loved to see a few regular guys beat the shit out of the Panthers, but of course they all would have been prosecuted for hate crimes.

92 @93  Right. Those fuckers get it and just don't like having their hypocrisy and bankrupt social engineering pointed out to them in language five-year-olds can understand. 

93 Sorry, my first thought would be I had accidently gotten tickets for a Gay Bear porno.  Then asked my date/husband if he had anything he hadn't told me or was trying to tell me.

94 At first look, it's funny.  I get the humor.  But, anything that makes people ignore their gut instincts is dangerous and stupid.  The commercial makes me think of people who swim in the polar bear moat and are SHOCKED when they end up dead. 

As for the woman who walked up while her husband stayed behind, I thought she was just oblivious. 

95

Well, I'm not going to school or anything, but here is my two cents...

I've read/seen this a bunch of times.  It always follows the exact same path.

These guys set up their bake sale.  Then either the campus cops, the administrators, or both show up and demand that it be shut down, due to discrimination.

They complain, and ask a few questions, but then they comply and shut it down.

Later on, they either protest via a written complaint thru the system that goes nowhere, or they end up getting hauled before some star chamber and defending themselves there.

...

Just once, I'd like to see them do the following:

Officer/Administrator: "This bake sale isn't authorized.  Shut it down."

Student Conservative: "Fuck you.  You want to get your fascist kick, you're going have to do it the hardway.  You think I'm just going to roll over for you?  Fuck you, next question."

 

Not always, but a lot of times, cops/administrators cut lefties a lot of slack, because they kick up such a shit-fit when they think they are being hassled or oppressed.  Especially this small change shit.

Shit, Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin have the courage of their convictions, shitty though they may be.

97 That guy with the tattoos covering his arms and most of his torso may be perfectly nice and wouldn't hurt a fly but if you go to such great lengths to look like a scumbag, how can you complain if people assume you fit the role?

Today's LA Times has a front page story about Californians slammed by the wretched economy here. One family has extensively tattooed parents. The father worked in the music industry but the work dried up and now, trying to find work of any sort says, "I regret every single one." What seemed so cool in his twenties is now a liability in his thirties with four kids and another on the way.

Maybe I'm an old fart at the age of 47 but I suspect a lot of heavily tattooed men who aren't career criminals are feeling the same way in a desperate job market.

I suspect there will be another cost down the road. It's already known that extensive tattoos can be a problem for medical diagnostics, causing both inaccurate readings and discomfort during MRI, and making skin cancers harder to examine. In a few decades we're going to have a large crop of heavily tattooed people forming a study population to determine the long term health effects of the process. It was hard to do a good study in the past because so many of the subjects had very unhealthy lifestyles and tended to die much earlier than average for the larger population. This is certainly true for the heavily tattooed people I knew back in my carnival days as a teen circa 1980-81. The dozen or so people I knew then whose heavy coverage was quite rare compared to today, all were dead well before age 60, with alcohol, drugs, and homicide accounting for most.

98 100,

There is a difference. The likes of Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan love getting arrested. Those Republican students are just trying to make a point. Not taking the route of riot-loving leftists is part of that point. Not using the word fascist incorrectly or resorting to name-calling in general is also part of the difference. Keeping things orderly and without shouting make the campus authority over-reach look stupid, just as it works against the cops when they're forced to haul middle-age women.

It's all theater, played from different directions. That you'd like to see the republican students take up the leftist tactics shows how effective it has been.

99 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

100

Its all about the bikes.  The drugs, murder, prostitution, extortion, strong arming, and turf wars are just fringe benefits.

 

101 epobirs @101. You have a good point about regret as per tattoos. When I was a kid (mid-1950's) Our preacher had a sailor girl on his forearm. We had the coolest preacher in the county. He told us pdq that he was in the Pacific fighting Japs (don't hammer my tit, it's what he said) when he got that tattoo. That's a big reason why the 4 that I have don't show when I wear a shortsleeve shirt. They were aquired over a 22 year Navy career and applied while I was sober.

102 My older sister got a tiny ankh on her right forearm in her early 20s. This was sometime in the early 70s. She had it removed before the modern laser techniques were available, so she has a scar.

It's no surprise that they found a few years ago that the portions of the brain that control judgement don't fully mature until around the age 25. The piece we need most badly and it's the last one we get.
