Well...
lets start it off with this... SEABEE: cleaify what your talking about. Do you mean "thugs" as in little middle school and immature high school students and their older siblings, or what? JOHNDOE: I obvisously have a life where I don't have to sit home and watch TVLand, or TCM... If anyone is going to even say "If you have such a life, why are you posting comments all the time".. You obviously think that the internet is peoples real lives. my favorite quote is.. "this is MySpace, not my real life"

Just curious, but how do you apply an age range to thugs?
You must not watch the old classic movies...

Seabee- those "thugs" huh?
Well last time I checked, most "thugs" were in the age range of 13-22. So unless those "thugs" have enough money for a house, or apartment to rent, I doubt they're the reason for the slight increase in population.
get real.

What do you mean? The "thugs" go down Milton Ave. faster than anyone else.
