Today, my suburban, white boyfriend of two years told me he wanted to tell me something serious. He sat me down, looked me in the eye and said "I want to be gangster." I started laughing thinking he was joking. He was 100% serious. FML

agreed! but seriously...a gay white gangster. thats fuckinngg hilarious :D

`what? i guess everybody can be a gangster, just cant believe that apparently most us americans have such a thing for stereotypes. listen people, it only exists in ur heads and ur media, it has nothing to with reality

I'm pretty sure that peoples head and media are their reality. We can't all encounter every person, and sometimes making a snap judgement based on a stereotype can be a good thing, or a bad thing. Just because the stereotype may not be accurate does not make it any less real. Emotions and opinions are both reality, and they effect people in real ways. This is coming from a teenage girl cheerleader. What a bucket of stereotypes that is. Am I a delinquient slutty ditz? Nope, but I have one hell of a time convincing people I'm not any of that. My point is, accuracy and reality are different things. Read Malcolm Gladwells book Blink. It's all about how rapid decisions effect us, and things like stereotyping. Also well written.

Maybe it would be easier to convince people of that fact if you learned to spell "delinquent" and use the correct form of "affect" vs. "effect". Not trying to be mean because I actually liked the point you just made, but still.

This wud be funnier if the girl was black.

I think you laughing is understandable because HE IS the joke. I had an old cousin who has a wife and kid and his grand plan for his family, is get a care and race it while his wife becomes a hoe.

All gangsters should probably be executed. They are such a huge drain on society. I am not talking about fake Gangstas like the gay suburban white boy, but the real ones do not deserve life!

Who are you to judge? Do you really think that they deserve to die? Have they done anything to you? Many people are "a drain on society", but is that a capital crime? What, are you going to go into homeless shelters and gun down everyone in the place because they're a drain on society?

Hopefully your not really stupid enough to think that a homeless person that uses resources like a shelter and a gangster that pushes drugs and commits acts of crime and violence are the same. You know deep down that the world would be better off without people that resort to drugs and violence. Fyl idiot.

You're generalising. And are these gangsters much worse than businessmen who can make big dollars, just because they have money to initiate other peoples ideas or power over certain resources. Lots of people eat away at the lives of less fortunate people to make themselves rich, there's not much difference between the 'gangster' and the 'businessman'.

Okay you are definately the stupidest person on here. If a business man kills people or sells drugs then yes he is just as bad. But if he is just making money, that has nothing to do with the criteria that is involved when considering a person a gangster. Once again FYL you are an idiot!

It makes no sense to be so sterotypical. Maybe if you revised your statement to say that "The gangsters that kill ppl and sell drugs are a drain on society." But you still have to understand that there are some that sell drugs to feed their family and such. I know its hard for most ******* in like...oh say...Kentucky to see. But I live in Los Angeles and I know a person like you would be scared to come to most areas. I think its hilarous how ignorant you are because ppl like you miss out alot on life. And its hardly your decision to dictate who deserves to lives...very left wing FYL for being so close minded and if you think extortion isnt as bad as robbery, which is basically the same thing...then your even more of an idiot

Left wing? You mean extremist liberals that demand life for everything? Try right wing conservativism, retard. Quick grammar review here: you're = you are; isn't = is not; it's = it is; your = belonging to you; isnt = not a word; its = belonging to it

Whether you're feeding your family or using the money for something else, that doesn't negate the illegality of selling drugs. If you really wanna provide for your family be a man and step up and get a real job instead of taking the easy way out to break the law and sell drugs. Its illegal regardless of the intentions behind it. Oh, and maybe you should look up the word stereotype because it doesn't even pertain to any of my statements. FYL

@HRNIII Of course you would say that but finding a job is no where near as easy as it sounds for alot of ppl. And you dont think is sterotyping when you say all gangsters sell drugs and kill ppl? Besides...breakin the law isnt always easy lol @Check_Mate I cant see why ppl are such assholes. what the **** is ur problem? most of the 'corrections' you made to my post had no relation. besides you know what I ******* ment. FYL for not having one

(I can't see why people are such assholes. What the **** is your problem? Most of the 'corrections' you made to my post held no relation to it. Besides, you know what I ******* meant. FYL for not having one.) Now that I can read it... Ah, so the fact that you are calling people stupid when your post is so full of spelling errors it is barely coherent is not hypocritical in the slightest. As for what my problem is: You just called liberal Democrats close minded. Are you that stupid? RIGHT WING is conservative! Oh, you live in LA which means you know all about gangs and gang warfare, how silly of me not to realize that. I believe that if you had life anywhere near bad enough to be able to truly empathize with the gangsters you would not be on FML using incorrect grammar to make yourself sound like you know what you are talking about. A good friend of mine grew up in Harlem before his family moved out, his speech is awful and riddled with double negatives and pseudo-contractions, but his spelling is better than mine. Learn to ******* type if you want people to listen to you.

OMG! No I don't think that it is stereotypical of me to say that all gangsters commit some form of criminal activity such as drug dealing or murder. I really would love for you to prove me wrong. Just name one gangster that has never performed a criminal act. You can't! So shut your stupid, ghetto lovin' ass up! FYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

greenltrn2003 speaking properly conveys intelligence. So proper grammar would help people believe that you do actually know what you're talking about, whereas improper grammar like you're using just furthers what everyone already is thinking that you're just trying to sound smart. Take some grammar classes or read a book or something and use proper English if you want to get your point across. It really does help. :)

LMAO @HRNIII ahhhh ok I got you...See at first I thought that you were compitent enough to actually formulate an opinion. But now I see that clearly you only think of gangsters as those dudes in mob movies and shit like that. hahahahahahaha!

greenltrn2003 0

@vertigosrs That makes sense but really think about it...what do I care what ppl on FML think about me? If I wanted to type the way you were explaining I could but compared to they way majority of the OTHER comments are on this website, I hardly see anything wrong with mine.

Do you really think that I would even comment on this, or be nearly as passionate about the subject if my only experience was a couple of movies? I am really speaking from experiences. See, that is the problem with you trying to act like you know me just from a few posts. If it makes you feel better then I will apologize to you for calling you names but really it is okay for us to have differing opinions. I personally believe that a person that commits crime as apposed to getting a job is a waste of human existence. If you don't believe that then that is okay with me. I just sincerely wish that you never have children and that your thought process dies with you because that is the kind of thinking that is causing a lot (not all) of the problems with the way our country is being run right now.

@HRNIII yeahh sure but I think youre doing the same thing. Like I said getting a job for most people isnt easy. But theres no reason to explain my thoughts or oppositions anymore. Thanks for entertaining me but I lost intrest so i have nothing more to say. If you want an apology you got it I guess...

It was fun talking with you. Have a nice day. Hope we meet up again soon ; )

Well, normally I'd say some shit about the spelling police about now but... frankly... I'm at a loss here. We have a FML about a suburban gay white boy who wants to be a gangsta, and thought to have a sit down with his boyfriend about it, and we have somehow devolved into some discussion about liberals and democrats and homeless people and businessmen - who let Jimmy Carter and Rush Limbaugh in here?

Do I get to be Rush? He has WAY more money. That way I don't have to sell drugs and be a stupid gangsta to feed my family. Lol lmmfao!

LMAO at HRNIII. You fool. You think gangsters like having to commit crimes to get by? You think they like to kill and sell drugs to put food on the table and to keep themselves alive? Obviously you've never had these "real life experiences" ******. You think gangsters would NOT get a legitimate job if they could? Surprise surprise dumbass. Maybe put some thought into your words before you pose and make a fool of yourself.

#201 you do realize it's a bit foolish to think that gangsters do what they do out of necessity right? Drug dealers sell drugs cuz its fast, easy money that has a high pay out. There is never a legitimate reason to kill another person over food or any of life's amenities. Gangsters have every opportunity in America to get a legitimate job, they're just low lifes that prefer to profit off of other peoples suffering. Granted some might have a caged bird mentality and feel that its the only life for them, but others, mostly the ones higher up on the food chain, do it because its a lucrative business for them and they just don't give a damn about who they hurt in the process. Maybe 'you' should put more thought into what you say from now on.

YOU are definitely the stupidest one here. BURST is obviously saying that the businessmen that soak the life out of the unfortunate to make their millions could easily be compared to the people that sell drugs to people thereby soaking the life out of buyers, BOTH the unfortunate AND the buyers are both being hurt in the very intentional actions. How bout you comment with an open mind?

Finally, someone who understood my point, thanks for making it clearer for everyone else. Secondly, I dont think gangster equals drug-dealer. In some cases it might be true, but definitely not for all. Some 'gangsters' are just in it to protect their friends and family and to do whatever they can for them to scrape along in life. That is definitely different from a drug dealer who makes excessive amounts of cash by soaking up money from the unfortunate and needy (which is exactly the same as what some businessmen do). Is it such a crime for these people to care about the people close to them? You say they should find a job, but somethings are easier said than done. If it were as simple as that to find a job and make 'clean money' then we'd all be millionaires. Maybe they've made one silly mistake in their past, and they're stuck with a record for the rest of their lives, making it relatively harder to find a job. I don't think that one mistake should have a lifetime of punishment for them AND their family, but sadly this is the way the world is, and you cannot say they deserve to die just because they want whats good for their families. In the world there has to be a high-class and a low-class, sadly we can't all be rich and in the top-tier of the world. And being in the lower class of society means everything is a little bit more difficult for them. It's not fair for you to deny them their lives because they are less fortunate than you and are doing everything in their ability to survive. You also need to understand, for many 'gangsters' there is no choice.

By the very definition of the word, a gangster is a criminal and a thug. For someone to say they have no choice is crazy, as there is always som form of choice, even if it isn't the easiest. I have realized that maybe they don't need to die and my first post is maybe a little extreme. Having said that, there is no reason in the world that a person should want to be a gangster. I have had fun debating with you and hope that you can open your eyes to see my points just as much as I have opened mine to see yours. Have a great life.

I agree that no-one should want to be a gangster. :)

Shut the **** up dude, you don't know what you're about. My brother, my mother and I have lived on Welfare for 4 years. My mom worked two jobs, but its not enough. One day a couple years back, I went into my mom's room and saw her crying while she was holding an assortment of Final Notices. So that night, I got my pocket knife and robbed a man walking down the street, and put the money in an envelope and left it in the mailbox. Worst of all, I recognized the guy. I ******* cried the whole night, I felt like a monster. But I did it for my family. But after I started making money, I went down the man's house, and left the same amount and then some in his mailbox. And I donate and stuff now, so I feel betteer about it. (sorry about the longass comment, just trying to make a point/vent) I hate inconsiderate bastards like you. You've probably been spoon-fed your whole life.

#240, you've gotta be full of shit, cause noone is stupid enough to confess to a prosecutable offense. and even if you are being truthful, couldn't you have just found a job? there's always a job, no matter what you want to argue. for ****'s sake, work at McDonald's or something. don't resort to violence to try and prove yourself. then what happens? you go to jail? oh yeah, that'd REALLY help your family. dumb shit.

meddude 0

and by the way, 240, you should feel like a monster. because you ARE one. and my above comment should say confess on this site, or any site like this.

Everybody deserves to live, bitch. Some should rot in jail for the rest of their life, but not executed.

I live in a small town in Georgia and one of the main dealers here does it to support himself. He was about 14 when his parents died, he didn't have any family to take him in, and so he did the only thing he could do in a society that doesn't let kids work - he started selling drugs to prevent going into foster care. Now he's so stuck in that lifestyle, along with gangs, that he can't get out. You have to realize that people do illegal things for a number of reasons. Some are quite reasonable, some are so stupid you just want to bash your head in. My boyfriend, for example, got involved in it because he was stupid. He thought it was cool and it landed him in a MESS. A mess that he's working extremely hard on to clean it up. My friend, on the other hand, grew up in a rough neighborhood in NYC and was basically forced into the lifestyle if he wanted to keep his family safe. Even so, neither of them have ever hurt a single person beyond the occasional High School brawl. They're both wonderful people who just so managed to get caught up in the wrong crowd. What they did was stupid, yes, and I'm the first one to admit that, but that doesn't justify wishing they were dead. What you just said is awful. There are plenty of people who do stupid and bad things for all the right reasons and all they need is a push - or a shove- in the right direction.

Blame pop culture... or the fact that the guy is an ABSOLUTE IDIOT.
