Quote: We are a country where corruption has reigned for ~2000 years, B was just an incarnation of the national spirit, if you will. Women, money, notoriety, and a football team. All the things every man in Italy would want to be were a part of B's personality.
It reassures me to know this, i'd hate to think that Italians are sensible, responsible people and Berlusconi is just an aberration - he's such a great comedic representation of Italy
Second question, which only applies if you follow football, do you think Italy deserved to beat England at the recent World Cup (hint - the answer is no)
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
