StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

Oh, I also wanted to say that fact to you is based on what is seen. It is the same with me but more personally. I may be able to see what God is doing for me or has brought me through and no one else may know until they experience it and see it for themselves. IT is still a fact, and maybe that is w...

okay i understand what you are saying and i am not trying to debate with you. it is not that i am a christian that has been taught several things and believes them. i have been through a lot of trials in my life that has allowed me to come to know God personally. it is the things that people tell me...

I totally agree Matthew. God does give us a choice in what we want to do. Just like when Jesus said Not my will but yours be done. He could have chose not to die on that cross for our sins, but He did and I am forever grateful. God never dictates to us. He may reveal something to us, but it is up to...

I understand what you are saying...I just don't believe it. You said that God is not nature, or a man...true. God is someone far beyond what we can perceive and understand. Now I believe what the Bible says...God has revealed to me that that book is true. You can choose to believe what you want okay...

You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. I believe in the Holy Bible...Nothing God has ever promised me has not come to pass. My fervent prayer is that you can see the truth and not just what is visible. There is a heaven and hell and I know that I am going to Heaven. My salvation...

I agree with you Matthew. I serve God. Jesus called us to be servants to help those less fortunate or who is going through problems. That is exactly what he did. Not in the sense of slaves but what we do to people we do to Jesus. I will get scripture later. I am not sure where you live hitonme, but ...

You know there are so many people out that the curse God to this very day and wonder why hasn't he done anything to me yet. He does not have to prove Himself to anyone, in due time you will see that your actions will catch up to you. I think that you are so angry at God because deep down you do beli...

God is real and Jesus is the Son of God. That is the truth. Jesus is the way truth and the life. I find it hard to believe that several people think the Christians and Muslims believe in the Same God. It cannot be because Jesus said, I am the way truth and the life...no man comes unto the father exc...

I believe that there is a Heaven and Hell because my Bible tells me so. If you read the Book of Revelations in the Holy Bible you will get some glimpse of what it will be like for those who do not confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior and truly believe. I believe that Hell is way worse than what ha...

Matthew I totally agree with you. hotinhere I just don't understand how u can believe in Jesus but not God because the two are linked. It is a very complicating area to understand, but once you draw close to God like Matthew said you will be able to understand Him better. I am not bashing you I just...

did u know that the owner of Timberlands is a KKK president. That's what I heard Maya Angelou say in a poem.

Hey, this is one of my favorite gangsta movies. I don't think that it mentioned gangs one because it was in the mindset of Kane. It was showing his inner struggle to become something that he is not. That is all he saw and knew so that is all he thought he had to become, you know. When u pay attentio...

I thought that both Boyz n the hood and Menace II Society was good. When the black cop was getting at tre when he pulled him over i think that he was just fed up with the gansta life (probably personally) and assumed every black male was in a gang. I can't believe that some people that Menace II Soc...

I thought that it was filmed in NYC, but I could be wrong! I also thought that the movie was really good. I have not been around anyone who portrayed any of those lifestyles so I guess that it showed very good acting skills. What do u guys think? Was it right on target? "God will never leave u nor f...

Yeah, I saw it! It was really good. It was one of my moms favorite movies.

Was anyone inspired by the movie Menace II Soceity to change their lifestyle? What kind of impact did it have on anyone, if any at all?

I am from East Saint Louis, Illinois about 2 minutes away from St. Louis and Saint Louis is not one of the toughtest cities in the U.S. It is far from that. You do not hear about gang violence. It is not prominent as LA. The fact of the STL being #2 is definitely wrong!

Hello,
I am not familiar with the LA area, but I will be visiting it this summer. I am from East Saint Louis, Illinois. I just wanted some general info on gangs and their areas. I am interested in studying the lifestyles and gangs period. Could someone help me out.
