It's no better there.

Still get the choppa though.

QFT. If you wanna move to a place with practically no censorship, move to Italy. The only thing not shown on public tv is hardcore porn (just softcore) and the only thing not said on the radio is probably bestemmia, which is swearing at God, even though every single Italian from Rome and up uses bestemmia every other word. Religion and tradition still have a firm grip when it comes to shit like that. Weird.

In any case, bring lots of money because we don't have too much right now. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone anywhere has lots of money anymore.
 
Or sort those fucking eyebrows out today.

Any country that had the heart of a religious empire beating it its capital is going to have a religious hangover. I like Italian TV, even though Berlusconi owns quite a bit of it. In other countries, where you expect media owned by politicians etc, to be straight and regulated, in Italy that fact just leads to more madness.

I still can't believe he was voted back into power. He's all about glitz, not substance, and he's a chauvinist of the old guard.

When I was in Rome a few months back I was watching TV and suddenly they put Fabio Cannovaro on this massive screen on a chat show and all hell broke loose. Gotta love that. Shame about his ankle though.

It's because the politicians here are quite literally the scum of the earth, and the average citizen knows more about the world around him/her than the politicians in Rome do. The old stereotype of "politics is the second oldest profession" is quite real here.

But you know what? I don't blame the politicians; I blame the Italian people. They are so lackadaisical with politics, yet all they do is complain and bitch and moan over their plate of pasta. They feel that as long as they have their money or food or whatever, they can bubble themselves away from the world. They still haven't grasped the concept that their livelihood is directly related to who is in power. It's the stereotypical Italian mindset of, "I don't care, as long as it doesn't affect me." Idiots. They still don't realize that they themselves are digging their own graves.

No one ever heard of term limits, I guess. That would solve about half the problems right there, but they're so clueless. They need to realize that art, culture, and beauty doesn't pay the bills.

Some of the politicians are really and truly blood descendants from the Senate of the old Roman Empire...their families have been in government for literally millennia and their asses are still glued to their seats and they'll eat their own mothers before giving it up. You can see not much has changed in the last 2000 years.
 
CYP540: questions, may I? Ok then
where are you from? what's your real name? favorite ice cream?

Of course you can!
I'm from Salisbury originally (UK), I'm from where all the ancient relics like stonehenge and avebury are....hmmm that would make a cool theme for a black metal band....

Anyway, I live in London (fulham to be precise) right now as I am a student here (doing medicine). My name is Tom, and favourite ice cream...probably something boring but done really well like a good chocolate, never been a fan of fruity ones.
