The WBC was going to come down, but the attorney general warned them if they did they would be on their own, so they passed.

I'm thinking the term "biker" carries a negative stigma, while "motorcyclist" is generally perceived as benign, just another hobby. I've met both kinds. I seriously doubt the nasty kind bother with doing nice things for anyone. They seem to revel in being feared and despised, living the Bad Boy image and all that he-man stupidity.

Pretty much, yes, some will argue otherwise. Bad Boyz are sooo kool.

I've been a regular law breaker since 1972, but committed my first crime in 4th grade.

Not even close, although in junior high I was a master of generating inappropriate laughter. 4th grade was shoplifting, was apprehended while exiting with my brother and mother, and went a month with no TV.

Nobody thinks putting ISIS in the same circle with Westboro Baptist is letting ISIS off way, way too easy?

Aren't they both the same basic human expression? They are not the same thing though, not even close. Differences of degree count.

Biggest difference is that ISIS is there and WBC is here.

IS et al is fundamentalist Islam at its worst, WBC is American Christian fundamentalism at its worst, notwithstanding Timothy Mcveigh.
