It's all mafia, violence, garlic, nice suits, concrete shoes and illegal gambling.  We don't have marches about it.  We're the best at cooking and making love.  Ciao!  Don't get all upset, just a statement.

Because they are secure. Same goes for the Irish.\nWhen other groups resort to violence and continual protests over portrayal you have to wonder if they are secure.

There's a difference between cool and the squeaky wheel.\nThese "gangsters" are not cool.\nThey are a news item. They are making noise, being a bother to attract attention. \nThe squeaky wheal gets the oil. \nFolks perk up 'cause they want to know what all the fuss is about.\nUnfortunately, like giving a tantruming child attention, these hoods think they're winning, thus continue their pathetic behavior.\nIn truth, folks are checking them out same as they check out gruesomely disfigured side show freaks at the one ring circus.\n\nhuh, come to think of it, remember callin' the two headed cow embryo cool too way back when I was a kid.\n\nThe Chronicler

I wish we didn't have any, but I don't see how pizza got into your list. Why don't we call it NY style, the best in Brooklyn, just cheese please. Now the closest I can get one is Hollywood Beach, FL at Angelo's Corner.\n\nEdit: fatima b, I think I know what you mean but here's the real definition of race; 2nd Definition in the American Heritage Dictionary : A group of people united or classified together on basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: ex. The German race.\n\nEdit2: What is with the thumbs down? I didn't give anyone any.

Because we smell nice?  LOL!  Because I am proud of my country and of being an American.  How would it look if I treated our visitors like crap?  It's no sweat off my butt if you want to come to my country and live.  We are the melting pot.  We all came from somewhere else and guess what?  Some of our most incredibly beautiful people here are all the result of mixed races.  I am friendly because I feel that I was blessed to be born here and I don't mind sharing the wealth this beautiful country has to offer.

I'll tell you why. It's the government. They want to keep asking the same question over and over. If you take the letters of the same question and re-arrange them, you will see that it is all just one question. That question being "WHY DO THEY KEEP SHOWING GAY VITO ON THE SOPRANOS!?!?" That is all the government wants to know and is here for. My god, do you realize that our whole way of life is based on the fact that an ex-mafia captain is in love with a guy he calls Johnny Cakes?!?

Apart from mythology, you are right.   The underworld in UK means gangsters operating above the law, in US you could say the Mafia.

There is little outrage due to the big lie.  Whatever the case,you can bet we are misinformed.  We follow our leader's story, trusting them to tell us the truth, a big mistake, and then back him up at crunch time. Fascism thrives on ignorance, complacency,  and trust, until it is too late to change course.  Iraq is a good example.  We were worked up because of 9/11, we wanted justice for the attack, so we went into Afghanistan.  Somehow we also ended up in Iraq!  The big boys who run things, sip on their Napoleon Brandy and  cigars, while the rest of us are always trying to catch up.  It is always too late if we do,  after the violence has been done.  Then we are left to offer lame arguments for why it was all such a good idea in the first place.

the only thing I do not understand is... We are all from other places of the world. The person who made it illegal to live here was an idiot. It's like making killing a crime and giving everyone a gun and a reason to use it. I do not understand why it's so easy to commit this crime. OF COURSE IT BENEFITS THE STATES... it shouldn't be an illegal act! It's cavemen science... you go to where there's a better living. IT's NOT A CRIME, we are not stealing, raping or killing... if anything the illegal people are getting cheated on, but USA will never accept that. Can't we just get along?\nThis issue is so funny, THEY WILL NEVER EVER FIX THIS PROBLEM. Nor will the problem fix them. You'll see.

Hey! I'm South-African and cutie77, just to set you straight, we're most definitely not a "violent" country. We are huge soccer fans... And everyone is really looking forward to hosting the world cup. Admittedly there are a lot of things that need to be done within the country, and you might consider "Africans" to be violent, and judge us because we're a third world country, but let me tell you this: When we decide to do something, we do it with passion and pride. Give us some respect and a chance to prove the critics out there wrong.

America is an amazing country and the rest of the world hates us for it. We have more guns than people, every race, religion and language spoken in the world right here in one spot and we don't have the problems these other countries have (think about that). We have the capability to completely destroy each other and we don't. Somehow Americans get along much better with each other then the rest of the world. Sure we have racism and disagreements but no civil war/massive riots(France). Why? Other countries speak the same language and have the same religion yet they are blowing up markets, burning each other and cutting of heads (notice no guns are used in those crimes). I'm not sure why we are different but we are and I wish the rest of the world would give us some credit for how we (the citizens-not our government) conduct ourselves.

it is just a reflection of the communities that hip hop came from.  Most of these guys are from the streets.  And what do is always said? you can take so and so out of the ghetto, but you can never take the ghetto out of so and so.  it is ruff out there.  Police brutality.  Gang violence. drug deals gone bad.

talk about them in modern times...did you ever see the video of Romeo and Juliet, where the familes were gangsters instead of nobles?  Same concept.  Apply things from our day in age to them.

We are very nice, but get just as nasty if we feel like our principles or our freedom are being "played" with. Not always spontenous. We love hard. We trust again and again. we dance to our own drum....we ARE FUN, sometime picky, but that is because we always thrive to perfection

That is why we have to be very careful about who we put in charge here in the States. people say we should be more open like Europe. Well look at the end results. European crimes are getting worse and worse. But we should be striving to be like them. Whatever is happening in Amsterdam is just wrong and not acceptable. We need to have people fighting for the children. Where are they? Probably too busy having abortions or fighting for the rights of trees.
