Would you join a crime organisation if you could?

I'm not sure if you mean an organization of criminals, or a crime fighting organization...
...But either way, I'm in.

As much fun as the mafia or yakuza sound, I would prefer to remain on the crime fighters' side.
...
Unless the offer came from The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants or Legion of Doom. Then I would wonder what my powers were and consider it

Haha. I think I'd have to second this one. Honestly, though? I really don't believe violence solves anything, and I just don't think I'd feel comfortable doing something like that. *shrug*

Who says you have to be violent criminals? Lucius Lavin captured Atlantis without a single violent act in any stretch

nope. Being a history major...and wanting to specialize in the period of 1920's-1950s in american history I have realize how horrible the mafia (and other organized crime groups) really are. Trust me, its a very different life from the movies in a time in history when the nation was falling apart due to war and poverty.
but they are very interesting to study. they helped shape american culture.
I definately want to learn more about organized crime in other parts of the world. I know a little bit, but not as much as I should.
Set by me!

Most of the time I wouldn't want to, but now and then it seems exciting enough.

Nope. Having actual experiences with that sort of thing turns you off of it pretty quickly.

I chose "yes," but I'd really rather join a civil disobedience organization.

Yesum.
Depends on what they'd "stand for", though.

Only if the organization has nice uniforms and banners, a motto that lasts for half a Pokemon episode and world domination as its ultimate goal.
...in other words, no.
