- Lose your 'close' friends
Keeping people at a distance is the easiest way to keep your ass distant from a fucking jail cell. The simple fact is no one cares more for your personal well-being than you do, it's a primordial impossibility. Whatever you do personally is in your best interest(even if it's based on flawed logical processes), whatever someone else does, well simply enough, that's in their best interest. Just keep a healthy distance, the only power they have over you is what you give them.
- Forget about your intimate relationships
Of course it's sad to think like this, and the same society that wants you to reproduce in cute little couples also thinks it's sad for you to resort to breaking the law to fulfill your very basic needs. You can care for people, and they can love you much more than themselves, but it goes against the most basic laws of nature to believe this in 100% of circumstances. If you're doing something that can land you in prison, play the odds, and keep it to yourself.
- Understand what secure communaction is
This is easy enough: Thoughts in your mind: Safe (as of 13-7-2010) Shit you say or write: Unsafe. Off the record, The Onion Ring, hardcore crypto, etc. can only go so far.(That is, just to the person who is smarter than you.) To get much more into the systematics of this:
http://www.why-war.com/files/2003/09/activist_security.htmlFor secure Instant Messaging: Download
Pidgin(uses existing AIM/YAHOO/MSN etc.) and this 'off the record'
plug-in (Thought this was worth adding after realizing me and muffins both use this shit. Even if you don't think your shit needs to be encrypted, you still shouldn't let these assholes have access.
- Get rid of your ego
You're a small person, just as tiny as me in fact. Don't try to make yourself larger, it'll only serve to make you an easier target for everyone. Nothing you do will ever matter. As far as current facts go, you'll never create matter, nor destroy it. Just have fun, and keep the monkeys off your back.
- Stop wasting your time
You do not need clothes, cologne, or even goddamn deodorant. Find something(s) that you can really justify as mattering to you, and maybe to others. This should not include you getting laid, as it could easily come into conflict with the above guideline. Stop shoplifting, start reading about assholes you don't care about. Figure out a way to expand your perspective, and go with it. Money is not the objective. Understanding yourself and those around you will net you far more value than monetary units can.
- Figure out how to deal with authorities
This doesn't vary too much here in the states. DO NOT SPEAK with them at all, and have/find a good lawyer. Your goal is to keep your ass out of jail, their goal is to lock you up tight, for as long as they can. In short: DO NOT SPEAK WITH THEM AT ALL. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO THEM. Leave it to your lawyer, you are paying him for something, right?
That's all I've got for now, pretty much common sense, but it never hurts to reiterate.
Naps are not just for the toddlers...

Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife is about to give birth.
Appointments must absolutely be respected.
Wives must be treated with respect.
When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.
Weird huh? Kill someone, thats cool, but don't you dare go into a pub, or deviate from moral values...I suppose its just common sense stuff to ensure their survival but it seems a bit restrictive for a criminal organisation lol
Grayboy said these were found by the police in some mobsters home, just fyi. :P
I suppose though it protects criminals from the four most common things to bring about their downfall, with a sprinkling of racism added as well. The four things that bring down criminals tend to be;
1)The police
2)women
3)money
3)Alcohol/Substance abuse

*wacks it a bit*
Keep postin in BI bro and if i ever travel your way i might look ya up

Theres something else that i dont speak of or admit to on the internets
How does he know you're not a cop yourself?
See what he's getting at here? :P
check my sig bro, I dont email or pm certain shit. and certain things are best left unknown. also work on your post count become a trusted member of the community and oppurtunities will open up for you. best advice i can give
That's great that you added me on MSN, and we're both already using pidgin and OTR(when I can convince others to).
I edited OP to add your sig. download info.
hit me up on msn in bout 30 minutes would lovve to chat
Aight that's understandable considering i was a lurker for the vast majority of time being here from up to the original totse and yah i get that some things aren't for me to know.
Worst comes to worst start running
Running isn't recommended in a lot of situations. Running is more noticeable than walking, causing you to catch more attention.
Then again, it really does depend on your situation.
Well generally escaping then
nothing good will ever come of that
An idea you made me have. Instead of wearing undies, get some running shorts and a t-shirt under your op gear,maybe some sweat bands. Then it looks like youre just a runner. Note: doesn't work well when youve got a piece of chain link sticking out of a bleeding thigh
if you want top prize i say do opposite of
Everything OP put down. Well everything but intimate relationships
The last thing you need is a bitch slowing you down.
