MichaelMyers is a bitch Started by: Grin26 on Nov 10, '26 09:20
A fool and a wise man stand side by side, both facing different directions. The fool is facing towards the past. Care to guess which direction the wise man is looking towards? I’ll allow you all to deduce that for yourselves

Mr. ItsOKImHereNow, funny you should spout mafia tenets regarding MichaelMyers actions while conveniently leaving out one of the most important ones. Doing the right thing. If he is to be held to a particular standard then you can’t pick and choose which facets to hold him to. I say this not out of disrespect or anger, but just in hopes of you seeing things from all sides instead of just one very narrow viewpoint.

Also no disrespect intended, Thulsa, as you seem like a good person trying to push things in a hospitable direction, but that is not a mafia tenet.

And none taken Mr. ItsOKImHereNow. A simple differing of opinions. But for the sake of argument let’s pretend I am wrong. I don’t know what MichaelMyers reasoning was for the decisions that were made, nor do I know if anything said about him is even true. If it is true, he undoubtedly at the very least thought he was doing the right thing. I would prefer work for a leader who stands by their moral code rather than someone who clings to a set archaic rules that were developed in the motherland that don’t apply to the mafia as we know it in this country. So if doing the right thing is indeed not a mafia tenet like you seem to believe, it should be. Quite certain it already is though

Famiglia, Sangue, Onore, Rispetto

Nope, "doing the right thing" doesn't seem to be in there.

Famiglia? He left his family to die.

Sangue? He didn't avenge his family, he betrayed it.

Onore? Please, there is nothing less honorable in Cosa Nostra than being a rat.

Rispetto? He spit in the face of his godfather and his family.

This isn't a difference of opinion. This is objective reality.

Thulsa, what exactly is considered "the right thing" with letting your family be killed or, at the very least, not actually fighting on what is deemed the 'right' side?

I might be in the minority here, but if MichaelMyers had actually stood shoulder to shoulder with Odin, TNT and the others, he wouldn't be getting called a bitch.

Being a turncoat is one thing, but also not helping those you've turned to - essentially hedging your chances for survival - is clear cowardice. 

What would he had done if Odin and TNT had been killed? I'll tell you, he would have pretended like he wasn't involved in the leaking, hoping to continue on with the side he apparently didn't agree with. That is not stand up at all. And, I am absolutely bewildered as to why you are here defending such actions.

the truth of the matter is quite a few of your ancestors are guilty of some shady shit themselves. You're hypocrites at the very least. how many of your ancestors sat across the table from people they swore loyalty to, formed alliances with, made plans with while enjoying beer, wine or what ever the hell you drink, enjoyed good food, smoke, conversation.  At the end of the day, you look people in the eye, shake their hand, smiling as you say "until we meet again." Maybe the next day, week, or months, that meeting comes in the form of a bullet between the eyes, or if you're the cowardly bitch you claim MichaelMyers to be, in the back. It took guts to pull off that kind of deception and im proud to call him a friend. You're salty because you never really had the element of surprise and he turned the table and beat you at you're own game. Welcome to the Mafia, where deception lurks, and the blood of the innocent stain the streets.

Bewilderment is merely just another form of flattery SweetRelease. And I have already stated that I do not know the man’s reasoning, but I also don’t know why I am expected to take the word of the embittered offspring of the losing side when Godfather Odin has already provided an explanation. 

History is written by the victors. The rest is speculation and interpretation. What Grin26 calls cowardice, others may call cunning. What is being referred to as b-word type behavior, others may call wartime savvy. Perhaps if the parent of Grin26 possessed any of these attributes, he would still be alive today. Alas, he was killed, as was my own father. The difference is my father was killed in his slumber. Not the most glamorous way to go, but it was a noble death. Grin26’s ancestor SoWeakWayne on the other hand was killed by a man presumably of superior strength and skill than his own, which is also the way of things but it does not make what his son says gospel. 

I’m afraid I must now rescind myself from this debate, as I have found a crew to work for and can no longer offer a non-biased opinion on the subject. I wish you all the best. My final request is that we be fair with our words. And to be fair be it as round robin how is the round robin be, well since physically we cannot draw lots, we can do it as seniority of age
