A lowly Petty theif flips over a milk crate and begins his "Generic" speech which has been heard a thousand times before. |

Well, being that I enjoy coming out to these streets, I know you're not referring to me as one of the mutes referenced in your interesting speech. You know what I love - I love the fact that you talk about your point, then say your point is proven when somebody disagrees with you. That makes me laugh, I can tell you - your point is just wrong. But feel free to disagree with me, that'll just prove that you're wrong. See how that works? I'll tell you my position on these issues. I've said it before, so I don't have a problem saying it here. It's been repeated over and over and over. You earn respect. It's not given. And you earn respect in this world by virtue of your rank. You rank up (once you reach Wise Guy) by the good graces of that crewleader who houses you. Those who have worked hard, had an impact on the community, and followed the code (set forth by your family) become worthy of respect in the community. Not before then. Now, I don't care if gangsters, or in your case, petty thieves come out here and express their opinion. This speech doesn't bother me at all. I don't happen to agree with it, but certainly don't want to stop people from coming out here to express these opinions. I wouldn't go so far as to approach it the same way you did, i.e. insulting the crewleaders that are out there, regardless of whether you named them or not. I don't believe we are accepting (or you are accepting if you are discounting crewleaders in the 'we' you refer to) that opinions can't be expressed. Go to my HQ. I encourage people within to express their opinions in the community. In fact, I demand it. But I also demand they express their opinions in a respectful way. That's all I ask. References to "high ranking mutes" and "good little lap dogs" would probably not fit into my definition of respectful, but that's just me., That's my take. And good luck to you sir. |

In my time here, I can only remember one young thug being killed for his words in the streets. His father was killed, and the young thug came to the streets promising death to those who killed his father. He was extremly disrespectful and someone ended his life soon after he rambled off in the streets. |

All in all Airbourne the street's is pretty much safe.. You can say what you wanna say express you opinion as long as you don't insult anyone that outranks you. or probably insult anyone period.. |

I am going to assume that clarification was for me. Assuming does make an ass of some people so feel free to correct me if you meant someone else.

I honestly cannot remember the last time somebody expressing a respectful opinion got killed. Now, if a high ranking mobster comes to make an announcement and doesn't open it for debate and then a young goomba comes and says he disagrees and questions the decision, he is being disrespectful by forgetting his place, no matter how careful his choice of words. |

I should now ASSUME it was a mobmail you answered publicly? Nah. You might try that with someone a little slower on the uptake. I'll just go with what has been said here if you don't mind. I think you have done an outstanding job of showing why some people should not be voicing opinions in the street. |
