E-thug for life holmes.

Apparantly a recent study shows that basicly online guilds and offline gangs share pretty much exactly the same mentality and driving forces behind them. Throw your colours up?

Any opinions?

Fo sho fo sho.

[Darus Grey]

DUH?

[Khamsin]

Well, there was that one news story about the one online guild having a real life knife fight with another online guild from some game, over some stupid matter. I forget which country it was in, though. Somewhere in Asia.

Pretty much any human interaction greater than 3 people and less than 100 follows "Gang Mechanics"

Clubs...Workplace...etc.

I've always wondered why gangs aren't reclassified as terrorists. They both have similar traits(unless i'm being hugely ignorant here and someone would like to elaborate more on it).

Yes, I will elaborate for you:

Last I checked, clubs and workplaces didn't typically have knife fights in the street, procure illegal drugs and weapons, or perform hits on people for stepping in the wrong area at the wrong time.

Sounds like you work with a bunch of pussies. The eastern wing of my office is on fire and is being looted as we speak.

[MrW]

Cleaning ladies loot people's desks every night. We even have locks on the kitchen doors where we keep the sugar packets. Shit is real out here.

Wow......someone's definitely never been to a club in the hood before. Or am I misinterpreting what you mean by club?

[Mizango]

Speaking of that, I had one of the cleaning ladies here steal my Tucows plush cow off of my desk a few months back. I saw that shit on her little cart and went flip mode...until I realized that she only speaka espanol.

Bout had 2 choke a heifer.

First off, gang does not = violent street gang, it's not making that direct comparison.

Second off, you're not looking hard enough. One company/club has never gotten violent with a rival?

Gang Mechanics as I said is 3-100(typically) people. It applies to practically fucking everything so as I said...this study is DUH.

[MrW]

They're sneaky as shit. Yesterday I opened a soda and i won a free soda under the cap. I come in this morning and all my change is gone except the pennies and she switched out the free soda with a regular non winning cap.

I think you're confusing gang mechanics with simply organizing ourselves into teams with team spirit/rivalry, preferential treatment of our co-workers/teammates, and such.

The study was referring to the mechanics of gangs, not simple camaraderie. I'd say the "affects all 3-100 person groups" thing is probably closer to sports team mechanics than gang mechanics.

I know when I wanted to join a ls in ffxi I had to prove myself by knifin' a bitch and robbin' a store.

I can elaborate.

terrorists are usually driven by an ideology. The act of terrorism is to force political opinions.
