Is it better to be loved or feared?

[BigDog91527]

"friendships bought with money mean nothing"

Wich ofcourse means that if you're a mafia boss like Sonny you should be more feared than loved, since you're never really loved anyway because all the guys under you are out there for themselves and kissing your ass because of it. Don't do crime kids :)

"If I was always right I wouldnt have done ten years in the joint"

[ShankillRoadRIRA]

its definetly better to be feared, even when people love you they still take advantage, fear is strength

[bodleladle]

this kid thought by being in this mob movie and the Sopranos that he could actually be a bad guy in real life...wonder how he likes taking it up the ass by real convicts...

[romoisabiyatch]

It's better to be Sonny

RON PAUL 2012!!!!

[Categorycinque]

Broncato was found innocent of murdering a NYC cop, but got 10 years for burglery. He is eligible for parole in 2014. Sorry, he's still locked up.

[LeeroyJimboBerkowitz]

@Categorycinque currently in america "land of the free" prisons are so overcrowded at record numbers...low level drug offenders and non-violent offenders are now usually being granted parole early to make room for incomming prisoners .....so they better fucking let him out by 2014..........fucking crooked pigs SMH

usa land of the free has more prisons and prisoners than any other fucking country on earth.......i think weve been lied to!

[shiheim]

Not true ,he got off about a year ago. They found him innocent

[mrtundra45]

@shiheim oh yeah he was Innocent....just happened to be there...."guilt by association" but he didnt shoot the PIG. lol

[ShahnamPersia]

Is the kid the guy from Sopranos? The one that tried to kill Christopher?

[mrtundra45]

@ShahnamPersia Yeah that kid is in Jail right now for accesory to murder of a nycity cop!

[7mandoblu]

@mrtundra45 His name is Lillo Brancato Jr. He is incarcerated but he'll be paroled in a few years and will make a great comeback in Hollywood.

[PASSERO7]

@Neverstop302 you replied to the wrong person.

[marcoaz17]

[meltz911]

some words of wisdom that have been around for 2000 years and some dipshit wants to ascribe them to Tupac..what a world

[mrtundra45]

Soak it up

[Uridien]

No wonder this kid went on to a life of crime, he sucked as an actor.

[doctorw2]

its always better to be loved becuase what people love they remember and respect in high regard while fear leads to hate eventualy no matter how much a person tries to regulate it.

[manisco1]

@doctorw2 you'll be betrayed of you're loved,but if feared no one will betray you,

[doctorw2]

@manisco1 tell that to ceasar, mao,stalin,hitler, and every other tyrant.

[ePirate7]

Whenever I see this kid, all that comes to mind is him pissing his pants on the Sopranos.

[itwontcomeout5678]

they listened to Tupac?!

[PASSERO7]

@itwontcomeout5678 you're kidding, right?

please say yes.

[itwontcomeout5678]

@PASSERO7 yess lol he used Makaveli

[EconAtheist]

@PASSERO7 itwontcomeout5678 will be out of your life for only twenny dollahs.

[illskill3]

@itwontcomeout5678 hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahaha. do ur research kid

[mrtundra45]

@itwontcomeout5678 no... Tupac listened to Machiavelli.

He probably read "the prince"

[Trinder3467]

It is better to be feared, he is right, but to achieve that you need go throuth a lot of trouble and consequences. As far as being love concerned, you can never count on love either.

[Andoril112ss]

pause at 1:23

[2MrBlack1]

I don't think Sonny said Machiaveli said the words about fear ...he said Machiavelli talked about availabilty!

[SilhouetteLucky]

@2MrBlack1 What Sonny said about fear was the concept developed by Machiavelli. "It's better to be feared than loved."

[AgApE010]

Interestingly, Machiavelli said the opposite of Sonny. A prince who is feared is in danger of being rebelled against by his people. It is the prince who is loved whom his own people would stand up for.

[dereklewis34]

@AgApE010 So false, have you read Machiavelli?

[AgApE010]

@dereklewis34

Yes, for Humanities class. I still have my copy of The Prince.

[dereklewis34]

@AgApE010 WHile he does use that claim as a opposing argument, he firmly believes its better to be feared, as we can see from this quote..."Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved"

[AgApE010]

@dereklewis34

A quote with no reference. Interesting.

Sorry, i don't see this as a worthy topic to debate on a YouTube video. I know what I read, and if I cared to, I can look through The Prince and find the chapter in which Machiavelli said it.

[Kenneth18777]

gAme....... From iNside Out......

[mrtundra45]

sounds like the art of war

[7mandoblu]

When Lillo said "is it better to be loved or feared", he said that he was actually high on marijuana when he did this scene.
