Growing up sucked, fighting everyone sucked, partying was much more fun high school was a good time.
-
@miki Fighting is fun though
-
@nerthos I used to hate it, life was too aggro. Hated explaining to everyone why I had all these bandaged and junk all over me.
-
@miki Oh. Right. Forget that I was a rare case in that I never got hurt in fights.
-
@nerthos I dunno fights down here were more "Let me bring seven people to fight this one dude because I'm a papayay" so unless you had your crew you weren't leaving without a busted lip or whatever.
-
@miki Right, forgot you live in gangland. I mostly got on one-on-one fights and was stupidly tough, and usually carried a blade or shiv in case someone didn't want to fight fair.
-
@nerthos I am lucky to not have been stabbed.
-
@miki At my school it rarely got to that point, most would just be scared and step back if someone pulled a blade or pointy implement. It wasn't so much for using as it was a deterrent.
-
@nerthos Luckily nothing was that extreme at school, not at mine anyway. It was always off school that idiots got big balls and thought bringing blades would make them a man.
-
@miki Yeah fights would be outside school at mine too. No one would be around showing their blades inside.
-
@nerthos Except stupid cholos. Gotta love socal.
-
@miki What's a cholo over there? Over here it means man-whore
-
@nerthos Low-class mexican. Think Watchiturro style.
-
@miki Oh. The local flavour of subhuman.
-
@nerthos Haha yeah. Some are okay, one I helped move his car and he was nice about it. Depends on how they're raised.
-
@miki In general I despise those kinds as their culture is pro-crime, so they're objectively bad for society.
-
@nerthos Always depends.

@dolus A culture that romanticizes and normalizes crime, whether it be theft, murder, or general violence. Normal, civilized people scorn these acts and frown at them, while pro-crime cultures like north american "gangstas", argentinian "villeros" and each country's equivalents consider them normal and acceptable ways of living.

@nerthos Yeah. I've seen how venerated they are by some people (just look at their cemeteries). I just don't know what percentage of the population thinks that way.
-
@dolus I'm not sure and it changes drastically from place to place, but only a few of them are a huge security risk to any community.
