I relate the term "thug" to poor youth growing up in the inner-city who choose to bow down to peer pressure. It has more to do with economics than it does colour.

Just curious as to if someone grew up in the same circumstances , isnt considered the same thing... "inner city" or the outter part it doesn't matter or make a difference......

Hmmm, my definition of a thug has nothing to do with where you are from or how much money you have. If you're a jerk who takes cheap shots at people, acts all bad_ _ _, picks on people who they see as easy targets, that makes you a thug. Someone who would rather use physical violence and/or verbal threats/intimidation rather than using calm rational talk to resolve an issue is also a thug. To me a thug is basically a grown up bully of sorts.

Ive been looking at the P and R section just haven't posted alot... but if you can't see what im talking about .. i can't help you and we just leave it at that

thanks but it's not about help. I speak from my experiences. if you gather differently then that's perfectly fine. I just don't see where you say the whole board doesn't speak what they believe. I see a lot of varied stances on a lot of different topics over the years. I take the posters on here at face value. I never post something that I don't feel or believe at that time so for you to lump the whole section into some sort of fake PC type of mindset I'd question how much you've read, because this forum is far from a bunch of people that are toeing the political correctnous line.

I'd say that this is a pretty good definition of a thug. It's definitely a term that has a various amount of ways of usage. Some people may limit it to the use of a skin color but I don't.

yes if anything this is the message board and threads where people say exactly what they are passionate about for or against, even going as far as to saying things they would usually be more quiet about
