do we have a Sons Of Anarchy thread?
« on: October 19, 2011, 02:12:42 AM »
if we do maybe we need a new one for this season, this season started out with awful writing - like an outlaw M/C club would really care about whether a developer was building expensive housing in a nice wilderness area??? ;/ ;/ ;/.

Now though, half way thru the season its getting better ( if you ignore the laughable gun handling skills ) lots of violence/intrigue & drug / gun running.

If you watch carefully though some of the cast members clearly do not know how to ride & you can tell the stunt doubles do.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Part of their goal from the beginning has been to keep Charming more or less insulated from any development they don't control to keep it a nice, small "off the radar" town for them to operate in.  Their motives aren't pure, see the carny killing in the first season motivated both by protecting "their people" (the girl and her family) and the chance to get hooks into the father, but they do profess "taking care of the town" as part of their charter.

They don't dislike the natural beauty of the area and high-end housing would be a threat in several ways.

ah, I see, guess I'll have to re watch first season if I ever get around to it.
I see when I'm in town on those rare occasions that wearing "son's of anarchy"
t-shirts have gotten popular, I wonder if real biker clubs like outlaws/HA etc get upset by that.

I had a friend who managed to get out of the outlaws mc when I lived in Florida he warned me very strongly about what not to wear while riding, they took it very very seriously.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Having flown a 3 piece patch and associated with numerous "outlaw" M/Cs over the years I find the Sons of Anarchy pretty pitiful and what I've seen of kind of mostly stupid.



Note: the term "outlaw" as applied to motorcycle clubs technically means that he club is not AMA (American Motorcycle Assoc.) affiliated/sanctioned. It does not automatically mean the club is engaged in illegal activity anymore than "outlaw racing" means that the drivers are engaged in illegal activity. Although there are numerous organized criminal operations that are also "outlaw motorcycle clubs".

yeah, I see your point in that it hardly has anything to do with riding motorcycles.
They do a little mechanic work it seems but not to many poker runs or anything like that-more like a study of a criminal enterprise that dresses like a mc club.

Still, I find it entertaining. I do like walking dead more.

I just started watching this season. It's no more realistic than a lot of TV, but I do enjoy some of the performances (Ron Perlman, Katy Sagal) and it's offbeat enough to be interesting.
