Berlosconi sentenced to 4 years in jail

and in every election conservative and right wing parties scream about the evils of "leftism"

The republicunts do that here. They all have the same play book.

The playbooks are not exactly the same. The Italian and English versions differ, due largely to translation issues. I speak some Italian and I've read the Italian version. One example is with regard to treating the poor. This section was originally written in Italian, and, it's quite beautiful by the way, the best feeling I can give you for it on how to treat the poor is like you're fucking a Neopolitan whore while also condemining her for charging too little. That's not quite exact, but it's the best sense of it I can give in English. In the actual English version it loses all the imagery and it's simply ass-fucking the poor. It's really a shame that it loses the style in English but either way the poor are still getting fucked, so mission accomplished.

Wheeeeeeeee!

Well...you know how republicunts feel about those foreigners to begin with......

[Something completely different]

It's a local trend, not a global trend. The global maximum for stupidity lies on the southern side of North America.

I didn`t mean that in a literal way. I meant: the more influence the catholic church has in a nations politics the dumber that nation is.

Look at Spain, Ireland and Portugal - all 3 of them not as far away from Rome as France, but since the French ended catholic influence in politics when establishing the first secular constitution in Europe after their revolution, their sociaty has been far more progressive than the ones of the other 3.
