StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

I understand that, but bear in mind that the essence of military life is self-less service. We follow lawful orders. Essentially we are a tool, the government directs us, a government that is chosen by you all. It isn't a perfect system, but it tries to be balanced. Vietnam has proven that the ameri...

About the soldiers themselves Lizard. I serve with a platoon of men that have become my family, they are far from how this enlightened individual describes them: "You got trailer park 19 to 20 years olds with barely a GED and no respect for a culture other than thier own policing the streets. do the...

I suggest that you serve before you run your mouth about people you obviously know nothing about.

Hehe, actually it was kind of funny. Especially since they say old ben had a thing for the ladies....

They can get married, but the couple has to sign aomething stating that the children will be raised catholic, and the non-catholic will not force his/her views on the catholic. As for it being a sin? I don't see how. Catholics ARE christians. I asked a priest about it and he says the guy's out of li...

For people yes, my job necessitates that. For my race, no, partly because I am mixed, and partly because I fail to see the use in placing an emphasis on race. King's dream was of people coexisting peacefully. Yes that can never happen, that would be a utopia, but every single one of your posts (whic...

That's your big problem. Your refuse to see the other side. Blind hatred gets you nowhere and impedes social progress. King understood this and got farther with his methods in 40 years than you and people like dx will with theirs.

They aren't any different than any other cops. They aren't rednecks like some people said. They are a shitload better than the ones in the bay area. A lot of the mexicans there (and all over the valley) have an attitude like they think they bang though, even if they don't. From what I heard, he just...

Well I'm mexican and white, and I've dated white, puerto rican+black, mexican, Assyrian, korean, chinese, nicaraguan, and I have a filipina fiancee. Living in cali and then joining the Army helped a lot with that. I never had a problem with mixed relationships. I figure as long as she's hot, huggabl...

I have some friends in Ceres that told me about that. They all said he was a bitch. First thing out of their mouths was "he never even saw combat."

Ah dude you know how many people get waivers for that shit? Recruiters hook people up all the time. From what I've seen, a lot of black people view the military as a job. They didn't sign on for reasons some white people do like "shooting haji" or "defending freedom." A lot I know joined up for a le...

The surenos I've seen up North have no prison connections, they are just little offshoots kind of like all the "crip" sets that spring up out of nowhere. And from the entire bay area to the valley (cities like Stockton come to mind) we all here about Nuestra Familia. They were even responsible for n...

It seems to me that the people that most have a problem with black men and white women is actually the black women. White dudes seem to be starting to go for the latin flavor, hehe. They take care of their men better, they are less "high-maintainance," and, well let's face it they're hot.

Yeah I'll tell that to my whole beaner family. They could use a good laugh. Also, if you bothered to pay ANY attention to what was written, I said I have a lot more authority to speak on this than you do to speak about ME, not on your ability to also have an opinion about the cops. Know what you're ...

"Apparently a flag-waver such as yourself has never stepped into a neighborhood where minorites are policed by those strictly outside of their community" Yeah I've lived in east east oakland and east los angeles, and yes, I have a fat american flag. Sue me. Don't make assumptions about me, you know ...

In the clothing and apparel section is almost the exact same thread. I suggest looking there for some answers.

"After I got my things done,relaxed,looked for girls,took some walks cared about my issues;I then still shuold do this and that ,not to provoke anyone I even didn`t know he existed?? Never assumed that you guys are so weak,and couldn`t get existencial issues into bangers brains,all those years. Mayb...

Whiteboy this may be a long post because I am going to try to come honest with you. I've been there man. I've done that liquor+revolver+1 bullet combination before, and I've even had to go to mental health here in the Army. I went in for suicidal reasons and came out diagnosed with Post Traumatic St...

DX you are behaving like a child. The reason you had problems with the police is probably because you deserved it. You were an admitted gang member. Categorizing all cops as bad is just as retarded as any other racist or stereotypical remark directed at an ethnic minority. Why? Because it generalize...

Nortenos are known for the "mongolian" hair style. Basically the entire head is shaved or buzzed short, except for a circular patch in back that is grown into a ponytail and usually braided, either in one or sometimes four braids. All the surenos I know are bald, and don't have any hairstyle I know ...

"they soft. simple as that i mean hey some of em can probaly woop my a-ss and shoot me but hey they still soft they at the bottom of the gang chain out here" Well if beating the shit out of and/or killing you isn't considered hard anymore, I'm curious what your standards are. You expect them to saw ...

Well if it was a diss, I'd like to see Jay-z go down to compton, walk up to The Game's house, and say it to his face. I wonder what would happen. (sarcasm running thick). Sorry, I just don't have a lot of love for many East Coast rappers.

They all fall under la eme in prison. Period. And if they are from southern california whatsoever and try to deny their southern LA gang ties even if they have a fat 18 or 13 on their back, God help them. Prison is the big boys, prison is where they drop the petty beefing shit and consolidate. Perio...

As far as I know, it's related to actually KILLING somebody. My uncle told me story of a guy in San Quentin who got killed because he had a tear drop, but he hadn't killed anyone, he only lost someone. I serve right now with a soldier who has a variation on it: he has an angel on his forearm that cr...

I think a big problem is that a lot of gangsters are so stupid that they are ignorant of their own gang culture, so they start meshing elements together. They are just as bad as the little jonnies learning how to be a crip-walking gangster thug homey from BET.

This topic is only for those that have an intelligent response, otherwise don't bother posting; I don't want to hear it. As I've stated before, I am in the U.S Army Infantry, and I am having difficulties at times reconciling my faith with what it is I am trained to do. All the passages I have read i...

LOL I guess going to car shows is a prerequisite for street cred now. I must be Michael Corleone by now.

The problem is the military is faced with a job it wasn't originally tasked with: policing and rebuilding. Militarily, as in Vietnam, we are "winning." But major combat, and the war, is over. We have no major set objectives to engage and over come. Now we mostly just patrol and get shot at. We are i...

You say the passion of the christ fetishized the violence and brutality of what Christ went through. But keep in mind that Mel is Catholic. The Passion is one of the mysteries that we meditate on in prayer. The whole point of the movie was to show what he went through at that period of time. And all...

And yes I am aware this topic is in the wrong section, but people that post in THIS section are probably the ones that most need to read it.

I came back from being out in the field and I read over a lot of these posts. Some of them are really quite funny. "How many sizes too big do bangers in your area wear their white tees? What about their black ones?" It seems like instead of this place being what the website orginally was (an educati...

Big difference between hip hop and gang culture. If you are from Ireland and you say nigga, you are an idiot. I don't even like it when black people say it.
