Thinking about raising gangsters for fun and profit...

[JulesMaximus]

1) They're loyal to a fault...unless they get pinched.
2) They're a good source of income.
3) Their manerisms make for entertaining nights out on the town.
4) Hookers and blow.

Seriously, I can't think of any good reason NOT to raise gangsters for fun and profit.

Maybe SOMEONE can argue in defense of law and order and convince me not to do this.

Getting shot in the head-that's a downside, btw.

I don't think that SOMEONE would argue against this.

That SOMEONE values the lives of animals more than his fellow human-kind.

See, that's the thing though. The parents rarely get whacked.

It's a win/win!

Your little thugs should be about ready for school by now. There's a critical choice to be made here concerning the type of gangsters you want to produce. Catholic or public school?

Home schooled gangsters have been shown on all standardized exams to outperform public school gangsters in areas of thuggery and drug dealing. Home schooled gangsters are also vastly over-represented in the National Shanking Bee, winning the championships five years in a row. Why would you ever send your gangsters to a public school?

To socialize with their peers.

I still haven't stopped laughing--hard to type while doing so--but I want raise some of them, too.

Raising gangsters has other benefits, too. For instance, they get chores done. Not directly, but through intimidation of neighbor's teens.

But gangbanging is antisocial behavior, right? That's why they hand out ASBOs in the UK?

What could be a better way to teach your children to be antisocial than homeschooling?
