The Irish Mafia 28 Capo Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 298 Philadelphia	I wouldn't want to join the mafia. I love mafia movies, and all things mafia. It's even fun to act like a mobster, but being in the mob? I have a nice life so far, why fuck it up? Most people who join the mob do so because they have nothing to live for, or are too gullible and influential. Henry Hill once said that if any of these mafia-wannabes had to live a day in his life, they would automatically reconsider their future career. (or something to that extent.) "If you did so good exposing us, Donnie, whyzit you and your family gotta live a coverup for the rest of your lives?"

Most of the wiseguys have small "benefits" (i.e. material things discounted like a tv that "fell off the truck") but that ain't enough for me. .

That's not how you felt when my father supplied the "truck" that was driven by your father! No seriously. It is not as glorified a life as it appears on the big screen. THere is absolutely no way that one in that life can sleep well at night, walk around without looking over his shoulder, and wake up everday wondering if this will be the day that you die, or get sent to jail! Not being able to trust your best friend! Break bread with someone close to you one day, then worry that you will be asked to take out that same person the next day! Not a life for me!

But Henry Hill was.. But i think these days the soldiers are poor guys... But I wouldn't go in a 'family'. These days not! In the 50's/60's it was better. But I still wont do it..Maybe you need to kill your best friend..thats nothing for me 'This was just another Bronx tale.'
