THUG 4 LYFE

[General Disarray]

what is the whole thug thing about?
When did being a criminal become a dashing thing outside of films?
What is their appeal or allure?
Why does it seem like so many woman like them?
How does a thug respect himself?
God bless America?

so basically what you are saying is that a thug who can whine & bitch about how miserable it is day to day and then roll up a blunt and temporarily smoke their mental pain away is someone you can relate to better than that guy working a 9-5?

Hell, even Benny Hill was probably more of a healer than Benny Hinn. As for the twats in the photo, no comment.

You don't change the world by pretending to be a "gangsta", but by speaking up against what's wrong.

Nah, jus we do what we do how we do it. We can relate on SOME levels better than said "average" joe with the wife and kids and the office job. We fight to survive, we get dirty looks and scuffed at by those guys who have 9-5 jobs, and this post I thought was supposed to be light and fun, not a deep ass psyco analasis of hugs and what type of men ts are attracted too, if it was, i'm shure he would have choosen a pic of a real thug and not the wanna be thugs.

No cuz not all thugs sell drugs, but if we use that body of yours with a couple chains and a nice cap tilted to the side, we would have some pretty hott nasty sex and I would let you hit it doggy while I take a pull on the blunt! :twisted:

Well, the word "thug" itself is derived from the Thuggee cult once active in northern India, which were a sort of assassin's guild. Of course, this is totally irrelevant, so I'll move on. Now where to begin...
The "thug" mentality is tied to the need of some men to prove their masculinity to others as well as themselves, and is all about one "keepin' it real". Because pursuing educational and (legitimate) employment opportunities is not "keepin' it real", an individual who embraces the "thug" mentality can avoid confronting the fact they are themselves the biggest impediment to making any real progress in their lives, as they continue to spend their time engaged in all manner of bullshit that leaves them either going in and out of jail, or going nowhere at all. I lived in Trenton, NJ for a few years, and saw the "thug" epidemic grow out of control, to where the Bloods have virtually taken over the inner city there. I have cousins who still live in Trenton, who are convinced I'm a "sell-out" because I want more out of life than to live in a government subsidized rathole in a shit part of town and finance my lifestyle through selling crack and weed to local dope fiends and suburban white kids, as if they are somehow more "black" than I am because they're willing to settle for less, and indeed expect less from themselves than I do.
Anyway, most girls like "bad boys", especially when those girls are young and inexperienced in life, and "thugs" (real ones, that is) are definitely "bad", in more ways than one. However, when these girls get their minds right and grow up, the overwhelming majority look for a man that has his shit in order and is actually going somewhere in life, leaving behind the low expectation-having "thug", who with the passing of years eventually winds up, if he's lucky, as that forty year old dude riding what is obviously a little girl's bicycle down the street, as the kids half his age drive by. That's where that "thug" bullshit gets you.

[TomSelis]

Can't judge a thug by appearance, I've seen some hard looking dudes that were pussies. At the same time I've seen guys like 5'6 wearing a turquiose polo shirt open a can of whoop-ass, UFC style.

But other than that.....not this again!!!

Gee, last week was post op appreciation week.

This week, must be 'thug appreciation week'.

All I'm gonna say is "y'all gonna make me lose
my mind, up in here, 'fo real'.

:roll:

Perhaps in the land of 'dungeons and dragons'
where the fair maiden in the tower has a 'victim'
complex, does every woman want a 'bad boy'.

Maybe, on the Springer, Dr Phil, or Bobby and Whitney
show, do all women want a bad boy.

Yes, some women are dysfunctional, perhaps masochistic,
and feel that bad love is better than no love.

But any emotionally and spiritually healthy woman is going
to want the guy that will treat her right.

Give me a 'square' that goes to work every day over the
guy that is constantly beating me, arguing with me,
disrespecting me.

Give me the bus driver over the guy who is 'slinging'
on the corner wearing a ton of bling, who is always
calling me at 3 in the morning to come bail him out,
if he calls at all.

I'd prefer the school teacher to the rapper, who has been
shot so many times, he sets off the metal detector at the
airport when we travel, and is fucking all the groupies.

I'm down with the computer technician who laughs with me,
cries with me, talks things through with me. I' rather have him
than the bad boy, who if he raises his hand to me one more time,
fucks my sister, my cousin, or one of my friends ,one more time,
will find that's, the last time.

Maybe 'girls' want 'bad boys', but 'real women', want 'real men'.

Pffft.

Nothing new, been around since the beginning of time. The last 'thugs" you might be acquainted with here in America were the Mafia.

Btw, this recent incarnation, they've become ridiculous. They're like some sort of parody of thugs. You want "thugs" go back to the time of Crack when the shiat started taking shape. Those were scarey-ass thugs. What you have today is a bunch of posers. "Keepin' it real" they ain't.

..... so many people here in europe are obsessed with that thug and "gangsta" stuff..... I got no clue what that´s supposed to mean..... sorry but I´m laughing about this because it doesn´t make sense..... it´s not a culture or a movement, it´s nothing..... a trend and most of those guys are retarded..... but live your life as you want, I know most of them will mutilate into something different because it´s not something you live but a trend..... I wonder what will be next wannabe-trend

Thug is too loose of a term today to give it one specific definition. I can go outside with a due rag, timbs, and wifebeater on and get called a thug. A lot of people base it off of appearance, like others base it on the way you act, while others base it on if you always have to respond to everything loud and defensively like your always forced to prove your masculinity, or like others base it off of being quick to fight. When people use it in a good way its like saying a little rough around the edges, or like saying a man living on the wild side that lives a little dangerously. It all depends on how you use it. Not necessarily bad nowadays.

While I understand what you're saying to a degree, I just don't see where the word "thug" can be used "in a good way", just like I don't see how the "N-word" (I'm trying to be a bit more politically correct these days) can be used in a positive manner. This is something that there is, of course, no concensus on, but I do recall seeing some half-assed survey somewhere online that showed college aged black people, who were actually in college, found the "N-word" to be unacceptable for use, even among black people. Although I wouldn't call the results of this survey definitive proof, I do believe the results would hold true if expanded to a wider number of individuals, and that these same individuals would also not look kindly upon being called a "thug", as the connotations of the word are similarly offensive.

I think it says more than enough that some people call a tank top a "wifebeater". I suppose that's for the purpose of making it sound more masculine than "tank top". Wife beating, I take it, is thus a manly thing to do, and in this way an article of clothing subliminally reinforces yet another negative.

Wifebeater = Tank Top

A due rag is a piece of cloth you tie around your head that squares off in the back and hangs down. Wife beater = tank top. timbs=timberlands (boots basically).
