as i imagined.... as far as you're here as a tourist you'll never see how italy (and italian people) really looks like...

so you've been to napoli.... but you must have missed al those huge rubbish mountains ,basically left in every place you could imagine, to say napoli is a beatiful place....(

YouTube - immondizia a napoli (FOTO SCATTATE IL 2 GENNAIO 2008)

)..
(not to mention that napoli is mafia's cradle)

yes, you can still say toscana has some of the most wonderful landscapes you've ever seen, and maybe you can say the same thing for sardegna, sicilia and loads of other places... but, beatiful people??? the perfect italian "average joe" is racist and slick (just a few months ago a young man was beaten by some nazis just because he "looked like a soviet". he died two or 3 days after...). maybe, you found only nice people for some other reasons.....

any nation can take isolated places and incidents to put a negative spin on a country. why do you dislike your homeland so much and why did you spend so much time in england?

MachielS · 09-03-2008, 01:59 PM

thats what im wondering also: how can anyone dislike their homeland that much?

true words Machiel& D.
Such a nice song, I have no clue what they are saying but it sure as hell didnt do justice to your point, Shoews. Now find some nice pics/video of the same city and post so we dont think your having a bad a day!

The world is a big place and what the Italians like and take as tradition is fasinating and thats what makes them unique.
I think its nice to see people zoom around in mini cars and think they are kings of the road, compared to my four neigbours rolling in yukons,gmc serrias, suburbans and escalades(same engine/diff body types

) who think they own my street!

i'm not saying italy belongs to the third world... what i mean is that my country is overated and that too many of its negative faces remain unknown to the most. and that's obvious.

now, going back to some trashtalking, the mini cooper (not the original model) is a complete ish my friend... i'd rather walking

(i went to london plenty of times just because i'm in love with it... simple

)

an italian anglophile. met a few of them in the past. believe me, there are plenty of dodgy places in london and the uk in general.

MachielS · 09-04-2008, 10:10 AM

come on man

i don't look at the uk like the promise land, i'm only saying i prefer it to my motherland... i've been beaten up once in my life, and it happened in brighton, so i know whats the deal there in the less safe places of uk(ever heard about the latin friday?)...
