Parasites, much like politicians, personal trainers, movie and pop stars. All in all they receive a much better media image, but at heart remain as they were always were- vultures of society; thugs and petty criminals. I have more respect for mosquitoes.
If you are in the mafia I hope you are somehow jettisoned into space.

"Costra Nostra" or mafia as it has come to be known in America, originated in Sicilia, Italia. It was originally a way of protecting the Sicilians, from various things. The mafia protected the people from the many invaders it had on the small island. Also, when people could not go to the cops they went to the mafia for help, as shown in the opening scene of the Godfather. Italians never talk about the mafia ever, and never snitch on members of the mafia.
Because it originated in Sicilia, the mafia is a very sacred and holy thing. Alligence to the family is a sacred vow, like breaking one of the 10 Commandments, and if broken will break u, tu capisci?

o an no "costra nostra" does not have the "la" article in front u idiots, it is NEVER used with the article. the Feds added it and everyone else has followed.
Micheal Corleone in the Godfather is the Mafia

Quotes:
Don Corleone: Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day accept this justice as gift on my daughter's wedding day.

Don Corleone: I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life - I don't apologize - to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize - that's my life - but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, it wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time.

The largest crime organization in the world which demands the most respect and is ran by the Godfather. Not many really remember the Mafia, most think its gone, but the brotherhood keeps it alive. MFA.

Mothers and Fathers Italian Association
Originated in Sicily, as a way of protection, when a family went on vacation they would ask their friends to watch their houses etc. once brought to America they used mafia to describe organized crime. its not all just killing like the movies, its more of a close family that will do anything to protect their loved ones, and make some money doing it
the mafia, (only italian mafia because of what it means) all other types are just mobs!
now you know the truth

an organization of criminal practices in order to make money (most commonly associated with Sicilians).
;highly associated with "hip-hop stars" who like to consider themselves "mafioso".. Ex: LiL Kim, 3-6 Mafia ect.. these people also copy the typical italin lifestyle, such as wearing "bling-bling", driving italian cars, wearing Italian made suits (P. Diddy) and frequently refering to the mafia in their lyrics. These people are the opposite of "wiggers".. they are "Nackers".
Check out LiL Kims new cd, La Bella Mafia.. i didnt know she was in the mafia..
