If they decided to become a gangster, there's no point in my trying to talk them out of it.
What sort of gangster would give up their lifestyle just because their father told them to?
They would already know that I strongly disapprove of them hurting / robbing from other people.
I would tell them to be clever gangsters:
Don't get caught too often and don't get killed.
Make loads of money.
Don't worry too much if you spend time in prison - hey if you make £1 million from 1 year as a gangster and then get locked up for 4 years that still works out at £200 000 per year - which is better pay than most jobs.
