And then it's only a matter of time before thoughts begin floating in my head about whether or not there are feasible legal responses to the glorification of gangsta culture in the media. Unlike a mob movie which focuses on a long-dead era and a narrow ethnic group, a movie like "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" is damn near a recruitment tool for insecure and violence-prone youth seeking an medium to vent their rage through.
Have you seen Get Rich? If that movie's a recruitment tool for gangs, then Goodfellas is a recruitment tool for the Mob and Liveleak is a recruitment tool for the Army. This thinly veiled biopic shows Curtis Jackson going through the roughest years of his life, making shit to live off while selling drugs for the biggest psychopathic Five Percenter New York's ever seen. Somehow I don't think kids are itching to get nine bullets pumped into them. And ultimately, Marcus runs away from the streets and turns snitch. Not exactly ghetto fabulous.

When Godfather first came out, the first federal glimpses of Cosa Nostra were barely ten years old. The major cases that took down most of the dons wouldn't come for another decade. Goodfellas came out only ten years after Henry Hill snitched and twelve after the Lufthansa Heist. The mob's definitely weaker than it's hey dey in the 1960s, but it still has a strong presence in the Tristate.
I can't make an actual argument, though; I can't see where this line of thought leads other than "outlaw gangsta media", which is obviously a shitty no-fly proposal.
Good. If "gangsta media" is such a problem, then why isn't it impacting the suburban white kids who consume most of it?

However, it aslo states that APD is a function of environment as well as inherited traits. And I thought that the "sociopath" label applied only to APD.
Actually, 'sociopath' is a lot like 'psychopath;' that is, there is no clinical diagnosis for either in the United States under the current DSM system. There may be in other countries, although they are not listed in the ICD (psychopath may be, I'll get back to you on that), and legal jurisdictions may use these terms, but in the USA here, the diagnosis is APD.

And yes, that was my point. Any personality disorder is probably the result of both biology and psychology.

besides gang motovation is pretty well observed. The whole group is dominated by the Alpha, and tends to force others into the group. Kinda like the reavers in firefly.

Here's my counter-proposal: value eloquence. In other words, you might want to try to put a little more effort into making your posts readable. No one here is going to respect you or your contributions if you insist on being an obtuse grunter, fool.

Unless you have nothing worthwhile to contribute, shut the fuck up, you useless cunt-dribble. Most of your posting history is nothing but irrelevant one-liners or such poorly formulated babble that it's difficult to make out anything relevant to the topic at hand. So you should can the attitude unless you want it shoved up your arse with spiked pole.

Oh for fuck's sake. Did you even read the god damn rules when you came in this forum? Or are you just retarded?

What some may be ignorant of is that such things have happened before.
Nahhh, ya think? Maybe you should actually fucking ELABORATE on this. But oh, you won't do that. It takes too much work right?

It's irrelevant anyway. Just because B is worse than A does not mean we can happily ignore B or change the topic.

This would be an education and a service. Your extra rantings are what is worthless and unnecessary.
I like how you accuse our rantings of being worthless, when much of your posting history has been made up of me-tooing one liners.

:roll: You didn't read the fucking rules for starters, what's worse, you didn't even read the website's fucking title.

Most everyone here has a decent reason for being here. Some like to keep up on the news and debate it. Many have an interest in Star Trek or Star Wars. Some are professionals in the scientific and technical fields that are often debated here.

In other words, this forum provides topics of interest to a wide range of people.

You, on the other hand, seem to have no valid reason to be here. You display no interest in anything that is going on, and don't seem motivated to do anything more than make childish, moronic one-liners.

In fact, out of everyone in this thread. You are the one who is wasting the most time here and getting nothing in return.

The ironic thing is that even if you read this and are capable of comprehending it, your immaturity, desire to compensate for your lack of a dick, and denial-complex will prevent you from seeing how truly amusing this is to the rest of us.
What some may be ignorant of is that such things have happened before.
So? Do we stop holding trials and prosecuting murderers just because murders have happened before? You're a fucking moron.
This would be an education and a service.
Watching you get your ass quickly banned, the ensuing laughter, and then the forum's collective forgetting your existence as your only 'contribution' rots in Parting Shots would be an education and a service. Well, would be if worthless trolls like you were actually capable of learning from the experience of others.

Oh well, you're entertaining for a few seconds at least.
Your extra rantings are what is worthless and unnecessary. Dramatic garbage;
The irony that this is coming from some preteen in his parents' basement, whose *only* purpose in coming here is to whine at everyone else, again, will be completely lost on you.

So you can continue your attempts to live vicariously through us? Sorry sweetcheeks, you have to do your own work. We have better things to do than tend to your massive insecurity issues.
