Some of us on here have friends who are involved in the life. We are not connected but we do not discriminate if someone is. There are those people out there that are very judgemental who once they find out who your friends are, well they choose to not associate with you anymore for some reason that will always make me shake my head in disappointment.

Who here has experienced this? How did you handle it? Did you get mad or just let it go?

Ive always had a very hard time understanding why someone would choose not to associate and discriminate just because a person has friends who are connected. I don't get it. It makes me very angry where I sometimes fantasize about fucking them up for being such a judgemental pussy.

Most of these hypocrites would do the same thing as the mob if they thought they could get away with it, and those are facts! They strap on their work boots and go to work everyday so they can pay their bills and give Uncle Sam a cut of their earnings not because they're little angels, but because they have to. I don't know why anyone would be as judgemental as some people are.

I've noticed that sometimes when you post pics of guys on Facebook and whatnot some people will chime in that they know them, like that automatically makes them important. Kinda lame and it also opens doors for people to call you a lying bullshitter. Sure, sometimes they might be telling the truth and their intentions are pure, but some of these guys sound like Richard Kuklinski or Anthony Raimondi or whoever that fucker is lol.

Its not my problem I build friendships based on loyalty over what they were born into. Two very good friends of mine were born into the life. Do I hold that against them? Nope and I will never ever judge them in a negative way.

These fuckin pussies who judge me because I choose to associate with people who are "mobbed" up is a fucking joke. I find it fucking pathetic! How much they forget before they found out who my friends were they thought I was such a great guy to be around. Then once word spreads about who my friends are, its as if I don't fuckin exist. Sorry for the rant but I find it fucking ignorant.

I'm sure some of you feel the same way from your own life experiences.

Absolutely agree! To add insult to injury are those "pretend friends" that are actually jealous that you have some life long "Mobbed" up friends yet never personally involved and wished they were "friends with the Mob"! Go figure, like you said they're just "fucking pussies"!

Not even sure if they wish they were friends of the mob. I think they are just very sheltered individuals.

Back the days was different. My dad is 80 years old and during his prime time, many people were constantly coming to our house and some of them were bosses and smuggled tobacco all around Europe, BUT there was no way for you to realize that those guys did those stuff since they were all very polite, always with a smile and well dressed, with their old ladies under their arms and constantly telling jokes during dinner or lunch. No matter if someone was legit or not, still they were all friends and had respect for each other.

On the other hand, while growing up during the 90s and 2000s, I witnessed how times changed and I became surrounded by street criminals involved in narcotics, theft and loan sharking. So I began losing some of my good friends because of my surroundings, although it was more of a neighborhood thing rather then friendship, but still good people began avoiding me. So it was a personal battle for me to get out from those same circles which lasted for almost a decade but in the end, sometime around the mid 2000s (2005 i think) I moved out from my old neighborhood and slowly normalized my life and renewed my old connections with normal people.

That wasn't fair what they did to you regarding your friendship. You had no control over what the other guys did and I highly doubt you forced anyone to be around them. If a friend of yours wanted to go out somewhere its not like you invited the people they didn't approve of to come along and join you.

To stop associating with you because of someone else is fucking mind blowing. I will never understand it.

So, Liggio. The friends you have now are "mobbed up?" As in currently active? Or from days past?

I didn't say I have or have ever had any mobbed-up friends. I was simply calling out the hypocrisy of a lot of people who cast judgment. The OP is the one claiming he has "friends," not me.

Sorry Liggio. My mistake.

So I redirect the question to Rush Street. The friends you have now are "mobbed up?" As in currently active? Or from days past?

Rush Street. I have a few more questions.

The people that you tell that you're friends with XYZ mobster, are they internet friends or like personal friends you hang out with? Also, what do you say for them to cast judgment on your friends so quickly? Do you say, I'm friends with XYZ and he's in the mob with LMN Family? How would someone even know that the friend was a mobster? Or are they that well known that unless you're living under a rock, you would have to know because they've made the papers in some way?

I guess I'm not understanding why you would feel the need to broadcast this to your friends about your "friends?" Especially "friends" that are "active."

I dont broadcast anything! But Im not gonna be shy to share the last name of my friends when its appropiate. One was chosen as my childs godfather.

A couple certain individuals found out and now will not associate with me. Very ignorant and childish.
