Stringy Unhealthy Wiggle: With conspiracies I have pictures on my wall with strings running from one to another as meaning of connections. Manly sexy Wiggle: With clarity I get peaceful days Stringy Unhealthy Wiggle: I sit in my window every day with binoculars to see if Rayln is a part of a super bouncy boob group. Manly sexy Wiggle: I concentrate on my family and those around me knowing they will have my back if shit hits the fan. Stringy Unhealthy Wiggle: I could care less about anything but my own wants and if that means going rogue to give those around me a bad image I'll do it Don't be like this me, stop suffering from idiocy and concentrate on those who matter the most, your family. I'm starting to get the feeling that the unhealthy stringy me is a flu spreading through the community. What does this you may ask? Well that's up for debate, however I will tell you this, we as a whole have become rather leniant on issues and deeds going unpunished then in past journals I have come across. Now I'm not here to bitch about this or that, I'm here to say fuck it lets bring the taboo to light. First let me say that I'm not directing this to one event rather its become a routine thing and repetition of negative eventually gets formed and molded as normal behaviour. When consenquences for actions are no longer severe, then what do people have to fear? Im starting to wonder if nothing is to be done about breaking tradition rules or disrespecting other families or mafiosos, then is it a world of no longer "all for one, one for all" but rather just "one for me?" This is simply a matter I felt should be brought to light, for being this isn't something you change over night, yet something we need to change as a whole to become the new norm. Instilling the fear in hearts that if they act a fool, go rogue, disrespect members, or act as if safeties on guns don't exist then severe consenquences are to come. In journals families and members were on shorter leashes, not because the urge wasn't there to be that fool, but the outcome wasn't worth it to them. Once again let me reiterate before panties get bunched and emotions flare, this is a public noticed issue, everyone can see it, monkeys can sense it, so lets not attack the Wiggle for bringing a potential issue to light. Instead lets debate it or talk about it as a community on how to fix it. |

Let me get this right, so that we can be clear on what this conversation is about. The issue you are bringing to light is that there is a growing epidemic, if you will, of disrespect or otherwise rash and unbecoming behaviour among our wonderful community of mafiosi. Although I do agree, to an extent, I think it is fair to remind you that we are still members of the mafia - or hoping to soon be for some of those fresh off the boat. Therefore, it is normal, in my humble opinion, that there will be certain individuals who choose to be less respectful, or refuse to obey some traditional rules that the majority may follow. I do tend to follow the traditional rules as well, as have my ancestors and hopefully my kin will after my passing, but it is odd to expect everyone to follow a norm of behaviour. We live in a world where our diversity is what creates everything. Without those who go against the flow of behaviour that is considered the norm, we would live in a quite boring and somewhat monotonous world. However, I disagree with the fact that there is a growing epidemic of stringy unhealthy people to be found among our streets, in our homes and with our wives or husbands - not individuals that go unpunished at least. There may be the odd hiccup here or there, and when it occurs it is, in most cases, dealt with without mercy, dependant on the situation of course. From what I can see, the consequences to most actions are as severe as my own journals would suggest. |

Connor I highly appreciate your thoughts on the subject, being it is a sensitive topic I'm happy to see someone add input. To be honest due to the sensitivity, I wasn't expecting many, if any at all, to bravely speak. I do agree on some points but please understand I'm not expecting the norm to be well the norm. Insanity makes this world a balanced place. My concern is how often it seems to be occurring. Yes we go through phases so on so forth, but I want to address the possible issue of setting a new standard of being leniant on Mobsters who make mistakes. With no order, the very fabric in which our way of life is built, then chaos reigns. What differentiates us from the ordinary street gang is the organization and the common goal among families of making money while policing our streets. Sticking up for those who the judicial system fail to. I think sometimes we get caught up in the excitement of popping the average gangster that we forget that very aspect. |

Don Wigglebutt, this is an excellent topic and one that I feel very passionately about. Myself and my ancestors have debated similiar topics on these shores for generations and I still don't accept many of the answers given, but this is merely my opinion. I think you're right in a lot of what you are saying, but it is often said that our society is changing and we are frequently lambasted for 'holding on to the old ways' or 'not changing with the times'. Our way of life is certainly different to the stories written our ancestors journals, and in my opinion, there are several reasons for this. One of the biggest ones, in my mind, is the way in which ranks are obtained in the modern era. They are much easier to attain and therefore people care less about dying, knowing that their sons and daughters will be able to follow in their footsteps with relative ease. Although this debate isn't about rank, I certainly feel that it is one of the causal factors which may explain the shit in our society. As for punishments, we only have a certain amount of options available to us, death is of course the most severe, but if people are not afraid of dying, there's not a whole lot we can do about it. The issue runs deeper than punishments, it all boils down to the fact that progress in our society, is easier to achieve than ever before. But that is just my two cents. |

Excuse me Sir, if I may? Dizzi slips into the crowd that had gathered around. Although she wasn't worth more than a glance she decided to speak up anyways. When it comes to punishments, I think the problem is more that some people, a "select" group get to slide on so much while others are given the most severe punishment there is. I find this alone can cause problems as it equates to an unhappy mass, and a happy minority. I think we need to stop jumping to the most severe punishment every time anyways. Yes, there are limited options but if a leader knows their member well enough they will know what they hope to gain. Even something simple like holding someone back from gaining a titled rank could be a huge deal for some people. Of course, that would mean that the person you are punishing values their rank the most. Don't get me wrong there are things where I think that death should be mandatory and my journals have shown that it wasn't the case for a select few in that era. Dizzi turns to the well dressed man beside her that had spoken before her. I do see where you are coming from where ranks are concerned though. While ranks are easier to obtain, so is everything else. I have seen things where people training their wonderful skills have things handed to them. In some aspects the work that was required before, has just been handed over without so much of a bat of an eye. There are so many factors to look at when you start unraveling the processes in which things work. I really don't have much more to add. Thank you for hearing me out. Dizzi slips back to listen to what others have to say. |
