    Yes... ;)
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Nothing offensive to me in that list. I'd consider myself a part of most of those groups, except :

    I quit smoking cuz I like to taste and breathe, and getting a gun in Massachusetts just isn't even worth the freakin effort (though someday when I have the money and time...)

    Also, most bikers would kick me in the balls if they saw my bike and heard me call myself a biker ('81 yamaha).

    But still, you're alright by me. :D
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I can't relate to #1, that's a personal choice and based on the revenue's of the tobacco companies it certainly doesn't seem to be "outcast" status.

    #2 - welcome to the majority!

    #3 - '88 HD Wide Glide in the shed at the farm

    #4 - in a US population of an estimated 260 million individuals, over 110 million individuals own at least one gun. Not anywhere close to being an outcast, especially since that number doesn't count guns passed down from parents and grand-parents. I don't release the exact number of guns in my gun cabinets.

    #5 - I'm a bad Lutheran, which is just a wanna-be bad Catholic.

    #6 - have you looked at revenue from the adult entertainment industry!

    Nah Steve, your not an out-cast. Let me modify your list to fit me.

    1. I smoke (cigars)
    2. I drink (good beer, usually 6.0 abv or higher)
    3. I'm a biker (not a biker, per say...due beach cruisers count?)
    4. I own guns (me too, lots...)
    5. I'm a bad catholic and I cuss alot (not a catholic, but I do cuss alot)
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    some folks just want you to believe that you're an outcast so you don't put up a fight when they(or their friends) reach in to your pockets or take your stuff.
