Alright, as mentioned in an earlier rant, I HATE people who call themselves "gangsters". Today the word had been thrown around by so many posers no one really knows what it means anymore. The old definition was "a gentleman of fortune",(yes, that was also pirate for a time) a business man who would go around town with an actual gang of armed(usually tommy guns) men in suits like his, paying freinds who are supposed to pay them a visit. If the gangsters weren't payed by this person, they'd rough him up, if he owed them money and he didn't pay, they'd kill him, concrete shoes. Of course, there are variations of how the job got done, the boss staying at the HQ while his underling did the dirty work, knives used for silent killing, unfortunate "accidents", and so on.
Today, "gangster" means an arrogant arseface with atrocious grammar, fake jewelry, horrid taste in "music", belt and fitting pants issues, and a gun(crappy little, unintimidating uzis or pistols) if they're lucky. If it makes me sick, Al Capone must be vomiting in his grave. Don't get me wrong, I don't support the old gangsters, but I SURE AS HELL don't support the modern ones.

BOTTOM LINE: "gangsters", get a job, or do it right and pull your pants up, dammit!.

That's this Week's Rant, I'm Varmeip, Goodnight.
