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. 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.

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"!

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.
