  2. **** Doug, that brings back memories of the coppers in Melbourne in the late
    1960's early 1970's.
    They had those diagrams which they carried around with them in their cars
    and I was one of the ones who got pulled over many times and had my
    handlebars checked for shotty cartridges and firing mechanism.
    I had one of those diagrams, but it has got lost in one of my moves
    And it wan't only Harleys they pulled over, in fact, not many could afford a
    Harley those days plus the fact there wasn't an official Harley importer
    then.
    Tom Hoffat in Richmond used to import one at a time, but he went out of it
    around 1972 or so.

    "unofficial" ??? what makes rockers "official" ??? Bikes are not
    officials... They're peddling pure unadulterated control-freak shit.

    Up here in the mountains flannel shirts are all the go. But we don't
    form posses to cruise Campbell Parade Bondi looking for people wearing
    flannel shirts and ordering them to remove them because that's our
    "official" regalia. What a load of crap !!
    "Earning" ??? Bwahahaha.... You rallly have been brainwashed.

    I'd concede their right to object to people wearing the actual club
    name if they're not memebers, but the rest is a control freak
    stand-over racket.
    You must be joking. Tell me you're joking...
    If you say so. And so what? Rockers is just a name for a particular
    shape of cloth with some writing on it. Nobody has a right to
    exclusivity for that. I should be able to wear a similar shaped
    cloth with different writing on it.

    It's like saying the government can convict me for forgery of the
    official currency becasue I happen to print a picture of Rudd kissing
    Howard on a piece of paper which looks a bit like a ten dollar note.

    Who gives those fuckwits the right to monster people for imitating
    their dress style. Who the **** do they think they are?
    And they have every right to do that. You might not like it, but
    you're a psychopath if you then want o heavy them about it. And
    you're clearly an apologist for psychopathic behaviour.
    What exactly is it that they're proud of?

    And when will they get over themselves?
    No, I don't think they _do_ have a prerogative for being racist or
    sexist. I don't think anyone does. I think your values are fucked
    if you think they have a prerogative for that. Maybe you don't know
    what prerogative means...

    If it's not the official Ulysses patch as sanctioned by the Ulysses
    Club, it's not official, therefore unofficial. OK?

    Are rockers part of the official Ulysses regailia? No, they're not.
    Yes. Earn, as in have worked for, and put in a lot of time for the club
    doing duties as directed by members.

    A boy scout can "earn" a merit badge.

    A worker can "earn" a promotion.

    An actor can "earn" a standing ovation.

    Is there some other meaning of the word "earn" I'm not aware of?
    Should we ask George if he felt he was harassed by you over his Vietnam
    service?
    Go right ahead.
    A conviction for fraud would depend on whether you kept it in your
    pocket or you actually tried to buy something with it.

    If you tried to pass it off as legitimate currency, yes, you would be
    charged with fraud.
    They know who they are. It's the imitators that have an identity problem.
    I'm not looking to heavy anyone. I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy
    of HOG club members in denouncing outlaws while simultaneously doing
    everything they can to resemble them.
    Why don't you ask them?
    There are a lot of places and organisations in this country you or I
    cannot enter or join because we are the wrong colour or the wrong sex.
    There are often legitimate reasons for these restrictions.

    Do you claim otherwise?

    Well, one _could_ argue that soneone's club "uniform" is "unofficial"
    or "unsanctioned" (do you notice the control-freakness built into such
    thinking?), and maybe, by that particular club's rules they can take
    action against one of their own members for breaking their own club's
    rules.

    But that is a red herring. We're debating whether a club can monster
    people who do not belong to that club, for wearing clothing styles (or
    uniform styles) which look somewhat similar.

    Most of the armies in the world have very similar looking uniforms and
    insignia. But you don't see Agentinia attacking Estonia because of
    similarities in "dress code".
    So? That would, at best, be an _internal_ issue for the Ulysses
    club to sort out. It's no one else's business... It certainly has
    nothing to do with other clubs.
    No. But you're being disingenuaous and coy here, Doug. Would you
    care to give us a list of _all_ the unsavoury, illegal, or violent
    activities, which you've become aware of over the years, which outlaw
    clubs make their wannabes perform in order to "earn" their rockers?

    They're hardly comparable to boy scouts, are they?

    You're obfuscating.
    Asking him to give us some tangible clues as to his genuine veteran
    status is hardly the same as threatening someone with serious physical
    violence becasue they have chosen to imitate your "uniform's" style.

    You're trying to argue that apples are oranges. Give it up.
    The point is that I should be able to do so without fear of getting
    done over by a bunch of bike-riding stand-over thugs.

    You must have a very dodgy moral compass if you can't see anything
    wrong with what those fuckchops get up to.
    Oh fur phuque's sake! Are you really so dense that you can't see what
    I was getting at here?
    It's not about actualcurrency. If I rode around with REAL Comanchero
    rockers, I'd say they have a right to chat me up about that. But If
    I wear a patch of cloth that looks a bit similar in style to the
    Comanchero rockers, but which actually says "If it feels good, do it",
    the Comancheros would be totally out of order for telling me I can't
    wear it.

    Why are you defending control-freak stand-over thugs, Doug? Is it
    because you feel a certain kinship and sympathy with such a mentality?
    Imitation is the highest form of flattery. For this you get done
    over? You still don't get that these dudes are psychpaths on bikes,
    do you? Why are you defending their monstrous actions? Is it
    because deep down you're a wannabe power-crazy, control-freak
    stand-over thug yourself? I don't get why you cant see these guys for
    what they are, and why you defend the indefensible.

    They're off the fucking plantet, man!
    You're spinning this debate away fronm the core issue again. The core
    issue is that if I, for whatever reason, choose to wear similar
    looking, but clearly distinct, "regalia", only a control-freak
    stand-over thug would presume it to be their right to try to prevent
    me from doing so by threatening (or actually doing) physical violence,
    or any other stand-over tactic.

    That's the issue here. That's the only issue here.
    Why don't you tell us, Mr Outlaws Advocate. Come on, give us a bit
    of stunning oratory about what the **** these thugs ar so proud of?
    You say the media and the police keep telling us fibs, well here's
    your chance to tell us the truth...
    So??? One mob does the wrong thing and that makes it ok for another
    mob to do it? Is that REALLY where your moral compass points?
    Oh yeah!!! Bwahahahaha... Do TELL us what legitimate reasons there
    are for outlaw clubs to conduct themselves in racist annd sexist ways?

    Are you still beating your wife?
    I would query the accuracy of the use of the word "often" in your
    question.

    I'd say that racism is when members of one race arrogantly think that
    their race is better than another race and justifying their attempt to
    subjugate the othe race.

    I'd say that sexism is when members of one sex arrogantly think their
    sex is the superior sex and justifying their attempt to subjugate the
    other sex.

    Both "isms" are about arrogance and subjugation. You could even say
    that arrogance seeks to subjugate.

    How am I doing?

    Every club/society/community has rules. If you have no rules, you have
    chaos. That may be the ultimate freedom but it won't make for a cohesive
    club/society/community.
    Like tending the bar until the last guest has left, guarding the bikes,
    etc. while members party?

    I've never seen anything illegal, unsavoury or violent required of
    prospective members.
    You're dribbling.
    No, I'm arguing that both apples and oranges are fruit.
    Lots of blokes do exactly that. They just happen to be other motorcycle
    clubs.

    Anyone has the right to put up a patch. Anyone can tell you to take it
    off. Whether you do take it off is up to you. If you do take it off,
    you're obviously not that committed to your choice.
    I've not seen these psychopathic, monstrous, power-crazy, control-freak,
    stand-over thugs of which you speak.

    If you think my position is extreme, well, you might want to stand back
    a bit and look at yours.
    If a law has been broken, the law can deal with it. No one is arguing
    that anyone has a "right" to do anything illegal.
    I can't speak for them. I'm not one of them. I'm merely responding to
    your ill-informed, highly emotional rants against them. Think of me as a
    Devil's advocate.
    You haven't established that it's wrong for them to do so in the first
    place.
    They have the right to exclude anyone they want from club membership.
    That isn't racist or sexist any more than it's racist to exclude white
    people from aboriginal organisations or lands or sexist to exclude men
    from women's organisations.
    I've never been married.

    Basically, humans tend to want to congregate with people who are like
    themselves. Right or wrong, it's innate to a greater or lesser degree
    within all of us.

    It's not "tolerance" we should be striving for, it's "acceptance".

    I think that's my point. There's hierarchal tiers:

    On top: Humanity.
    Next: Your nation,
    Next: Your culture, your ethnicity, your goup, your club.

    Forgetting the top one, becasue we would disagree on what the ruled
    for humanity ought to be, we get to Nation.

    A nation has laws. And those laws over-ride any conflicting laws
    within a culture, ethnicity, group or club.

    It is this nation's laws which say that if you have a problem with
    another group, you don't take matters into your won hands, you don't
    threaten, you don't use physical violence. What you do is you seek
    redress through the law of the land. Other than that, you learn to
    live and let live.

    But that's not how the control freak thugs in the outlaw clubs see it,
    is it,Doug?

    This whole conflict thing about colours rockers and patches is no
    different than the conflicts between (say) the Serbs and the Croats
    in this country. You'd be the first to tell them to settle their
    conflicts according to, and within, the laws of this land. Ditto the
    bikie thing.

    Get over it, Doug...
    I said "become aware of". What are you? Sgt Schultz? "I know
    nothing!!!" ?? Yeah... right... All of a sudden you've led a
    sheltered life... You're bullshitting, Doug. And the whole frigging
    world can see it.
    Including the Hog and Ulysses?
    You're being totally dishonest here. You pretend that no stand-over
    tactics, intimidation, threats, or actual physical violence is
    associated with "telling you to take it off".

    I notice you don't seem to have a problem with them being TOLD to take
    them off, rather than being REQUESTED.

    See, Doug, right there we have the mark of the control-freak. He
    TELLS you to do it, he doesn't ASK you to do it. Your moral compass
    is still spinning wildly, while you _think_ you're heading home, old
    boy...
    Yes, the lobotomising effect of peer group "normality" is a lot like
    that. So is denial...
    My position is that the outlaw clubs haven't got the right to heavy
    other bike clubs who like to wear their own club colours, rockers, and
    patches.

    My position is that there is nothing in our State or Federal laws
    which prohibits them from doing this, and until laws are made which
    prohibit inlaw clubs from wearing colours, rockers and patches, they
    have every right to do so and outlaws can go and get fucked.

    And now youtell me that THIS is an extreme position? Yor moral
    compass is spinnning again, Douggie...
    So, the Ulysses club and the Harly Owners Group can, if they so wish,
    design and wear their own group colours, rockers and patches without
    any fear of being threatened, stood-over, or attacked by any Outlaw
    clubs?

    One of us is being less than frank here, Douggie... Guess who that
    is... Ya bullshit artist... You're full of it...
    Nah.. I think of you as a piss weak bullshit artist who sticks up for
    bike-riding crims and bullies. A sicko's sycophant. A wannabe head
    kicker in search of a gang to hide out in. A dude who gets off on
    fear and intimidation.

    That's how I see you.

    What other concluseion can I arrive at after this amazing display of
    "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" crap from a dude who knocks
    around with these guys, once wanted to join one of their clubs, and
    may well be their "official" tatooist. Such a guy doesn't "hear no
    evil" or "see no evil", but I can well understand the sycophantic
    nature of such a bloke leading him to shut the **** up and "speak no
    evil".

    Scared they'll do you, Douggie?

    Bwahahahahaha...
    If you can't figure out what's wrong with racism and sexism, my
    explanation woudl just go wooshies right over your head. Another
    clear sign your moral compass is fucked.
    Not if it's on the basis of their raceor their gender.
    There are exceptions made to provide refuge and safety.

    Are you honestly going to tell me these bikie gangs are afraid of
    non-whites or women?

    Bwahahahaha...

    No... It's because they consider themselves superior to non-whites
    and women. They like to control non-whites and women.

    Is that why you're so drawn to these "soul brothers" of yours,
    Douggie?

    Is that why you can see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil? It
    certainly isn't becasue thes fuckwits are as pure as the driven snow,
    I can tell you that much...

    Bwahahahaha.. You're a joke... A bullshitting joke...

    Yes, and some have learned (evolved ???) to identify with other people
    based, not on race or gender, but on things a bit more cerebral than
    the colour of their skin or what gender they might be...

    D'oh...

    Here in OzMoto, for instance, it's the size of a man's bike and his
    best time around Eastern Creek (Small Dick Syndrome [SDS]???). Sadly
    women are still relegated to being pliant and submissive beer wenches
    (and loving it...) Not a HUGE mark of evolutionary progress, but in
    other places, even more evolved beings reside...

    Perhaps your kind are nearing extinction, Douggie? About time, I'd
    say...
    Go on, Douggie... Fess up... You still pine for the good old days,
    back in the Stone Age, when your manhood would be measured (by your
    Neanderthal mates) by the number women you've clubbed and dragged back
    into your cave in order to have your "charismatic" way with them
    before discussing Tolstoy...

    Bwahahahaha.... [choke]
    How can you have acceptance without tolerance? I suspect you might
    have weird meaning for "acceptance".

    I speak the truth. Your accusations have no basis in reality, but then,
    neither do you most of the time...
    No, your position is that outlaw clubs are entirely made up of
    "psychopathic, monstrous, power-crazy, control-freak, stand-over thugs".
    I'd call that an extreme position.

    That's not my experience. YMMV.
    So argued some members of the Ulysses club. Even down to the outlaws
    "can go and get fucked" part.

    It was requested of them on more than one occasion, following which, one
    club contacted the Ulysses hierarchy and invited them to a meeting to
    explain their position. The Ulysses club then issued an edict to members
    directing them to remove any rockers under threat of expulsion.

    No-one got hurt, no violence occurred.
    It's a fearful place, this world inside your head.
    You are a scared and angry little mentally broken social outcast with a
    Quixotic grudge against the world because you can't deal with your own shit.

    That's how I see you.

    Yes, it was a nice friendly, amicable discussion. Hugs and kisses all
    round. No threats of war or violence were issued. No standover
    tactics were employed, Just a friendly "chat". The Rebels, are,
    after all, a quiet, law abiding, non-violent macrame club, right?

    You're fucking deluded, Douggie...
    And that wouldn't be because the Ulysses, Zimmer frames and colostomy
    bags notwithstanding, decided to back down rather than risk serious
    retribution? You really think it was a non-treatening, amicable
    chat?

    You're fucking deluded, Douggie..
    Nothing to be afraid of. Come in for a firendly chat some time...
    And Outlaw gangs are nice, law abiding, non-threatening, non-violent
    amenable, gentle, reasonable, psychologically well adjusted angels.
    You're fucking deluded, Douggie...

    Actually, I don't think you're deluded. I think you have rubbed
    shoulders with them enough to know _exactly_ what they are.

    You're just a self-appointed spin doctor on their behalf. In other
    words, you're a bullshit artist. A piss-weak bullshit artist who has
    a vested interest in whitewashing the image of a bunch of thugs and
    crims and their toadies. All that remains is to try to figure out WHY
    you're so driven to pepple the ridiculous Outlaw propaganda you do.

    So what are you, Douggie? A thug, a crim, or a toady? Which is it?
