If thugs are a culture or sub-culture, can we spay and neuter them so they don't reproduce? "

Just take a look at the Aztec culture. Some part of that culture were colorful and full of life. Other parts were deadly, like the human sacrifice part of it. Let's quit behaving as though everything "culture" is good. I like "fiesta" and even "siesta" but I don't like "machismo" or "gangsta-ismo". The Aztec human sacrifice culture had its day. Machismo and gangsta-ismo have had theirs. It's time for us to "recognize" it for what it really is; a subculture which negatively affects society. "

For 'most' of you who have commented, this isn't a battle over who can come up with the most intellectual comment or a grammar contest. A man lost his life. Have some compassion! "
