i have never really thought or talked about this subject.. and i dont know why.. i mean i have discussed with friends about smoking, masterbation, infidelity and the rest of the mentioned topics.. but never this one....
... perhaps because the previous subjects are considered morally wrong whereas bandits and outlaws are legally wrong... i dont know how or why that may make a difference...!

..im not sure what to write because i have never thought about this really.. but the lecturer talked (a bit too much.. !) about robin hood and i never really thought of him as a bandit/outlaw because he was doing a good thing. people are labelled differently depending on if what they did was good or bad. If a person somehow managed to rob say... (if i say a political figure i'l get in trouble!!!) lets just say someone very important like a president or royalty, then they would be considered a bandit/outlaw but if someone managed to rob Bin Laden or Myra Hindley they would be considered a hero.. in both examples the criminal is a bandit but it depends if society want to label them as that or not.

...

Why are there not many female bandits or outlaws as men??? Even in movies.... its always the guy, such as Clint Eastwood in those western movies my dad keeps watching..Robin Hood as mentioned and Equilibrium and Minority Report (i have no idea what the last 2 movies are about but my friend mentioned them!!) and ofcourse my favourite PRISON BREAK!.. which is full of peado's, theives and murderers. One specific bandit/outlaw is the character Sucre who ended up in prison because he kept robbing a store so he could take his girlfriend out. but he got caught because his dopey cousin turned him in while he was robbing the shop to by an engagment ring for his girlfriend... in the computer game Grand Theft Auto (ive only played vice city one!!) the aim of the game is for Tommy Vercetti to kill people and get their money and then kill some more.. the aim of the game?.. i have no idea but i just go around beating up the prostitutes and taking their money...!

....

Also the Bon jovi song 'Right Side of Wrong' is kind of like a justification and reason to be a bandit or outlaw...

the lyrics gooo....

Me and the wife, we need the money

We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'

Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye

And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney

Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight

I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights

We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right

And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn

Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs

On the Right Side of Wrong

.....

it seems that there is a gene to everything these days... there is a link at the bottom to a website which thinks there is a correlation between certain genes and crime... again i think this is BULLPOO!

......

its hard to discuss this topic because i know nothing of it and really do not have any personal interest at this point in time in my lifee.. so i shall end this bloggy here.!
