Poverty?
I think the quote from Goodfellas sums it up nicely: For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean, they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.
- yunohn 3y agoAh of course, this movie quote is a very accurate representation of our complex, difficult reality. /s
- rhaway84773 3y agoAnecdote != Data. The fact that it might be largely driven by poverty doesn’t preclude the existence of people who are not doing it because of poverty. That being said, nothing about your quote says anything about even the quoted person not being driven by poverty.
- kar5pt 3y agoSo a quote from a movie is your counterargument?
- refurb 3y agoIt's not a counter-argument, it's an example of the attitude of criminals (based on the movie written about a criminal).
