Let's see:

- hot sluts

- hot cars

- piles of cash

- big houses

- expensive toys

Yah, I have NO IDEA why anyone would be attracted to it -

Quoted:
There is no difference between a middle class kid playing gangster and a middle class dentist playing outlaw biker IMO.

I too feel the same, but the chances of that middle class dentist falling into league with an OMG are pretty slim whereas I have seen otherwise normal kids fall into crime (yes, their choice) due to the other associations made from the wanksta culture.

It is the hip hop chicks wearing nothing but thongs that attract young guys. I have to admit that I love hip hop video girls. They sho' is fine!

It's a lot more fun living in a fantasy world where you're a toughass with money and women than to accept you're a whiteboy from the suburbs.

It's really base, primal stuff. Biggest meanest animal with the most resources, etc.

They think it is glamorous and intimidating to those who wear normal clothes . Every time I see one of these little fuckers I just want to slap the shit out of them . The gangbangers are glorified by Hollywood. Hollywood is a threat to our society. I have 2 kids 4 & 8 yrs. old My son is 8 and he knows what I think of this Gangbanger style of life. He looks at these kids and just laughs at them . I teach him right and wrong , God , guns and what freedom is all about. If he came home wearing baggy clothes his ass is in the sling . He is not allowed to associate with anyone at school who wears that shit . Hollywood is poisoning our young children and that is why we do not have cable . Just 3 local channels . I miss the History channel and Discovery but not that much.

MTV and movies make this a life style desireable.

Sad trading in:

- a moral life and religion
- a clean police record
- an honorable profession
- the love of a mother and father
- true respect (not fear)

for that worthless crap.

I run into small groups of these kids wandering around the mall mad-dogging citizens. I stare right back waiting for one of them to make an agressive move. On the streets with their pitbulls (so sorry but true) I run into them occassionally while walking with my wife and dog. I will remove myself from their path only for their damn unsocialized dogs who can't be held off at gun point until the police arrive but have to be shot (and possibly their owner shortly thereafter). When they walk pass my house I give them the alpha dog stare down and watch them until they're out of sight around the corner.

They're only brave when in groups of four or five and only brave enough to stare you down if you let them. Show no weakness and no fear ... and carry in condition one.

I pity people that embrace stereotypes and call it a lifestyle.

Do not give them pity. They do not deserve it.

Quoted:
I think it is the Man vs Superman Nietschze thing. A Gangsta is above the law (in his own eyes), he is beyond good and evil, he can kill at will, etc, with no societal constraints. As part of a gang of like minded individuals, he can walk "above the system" and dominate folks that are within the system with his "gats". It is all about power. He decided he did not like school (because his parents never taught him the importance of education0, so other avenues of social ascendancy are closed to him, hence he reverts back to the most basic, primitive, tribal (in the true sense) way of existing -- tribal warfare, which has been a part of man's earlier history for years. Look at the gangs (black, hispanic, and white gangs) - each has their colors, their tatoos, their gang signs. Now, go to primitive Borneo or the Congo. Each "tribe" has their own colors, tatoos, and signs and signals. Gangs war with other gangs, tribes war with other tribes, etc.

When society starts to throw off what makes us civilized, we revert to what we were before civilization. The Gangsta lifestyle and Rap music is the glorification of the decline of civilization.

The whole thing is about as goofy a world as "Clockwork Orange".
