"Our generation (I'm from the '80s) is completely fucked, " I don't feel fucked at all, nor defeated. Maybe submissive, but what powerful person in history hasn't been? There will always be someone in charge because human beings can be slightly unpleasant when they get the chance. Even the subjects of rulers spoke pessimistically less than 200 years ago, and now we are better off than they were, thanks to them for wanting to do something. Pessimism leads nowhere, in my opinion. Let Them Eat Cake, said Marie Antoinette.

"At the end of the day, you only end up saying the same old things." Well, what do you want me to come up with? I don't think I'm the Messiah; it just annoys me to read the exaggerations that portray Italy as the last shithole in the world when it's not at all. It's not wonderful, but I wouldn't swap it for Angola. Besides, the conversation has gone over the usual points, so it's obvious to say the same old things.

<< What does "send them home" mean? >> Everything you wrote is unfortunately true, but it lacks a serious global agreement. For those who do not comply, embargo. And above all, NATO ships outside their coasts (after all, keeping them stationary costs more than keeping them running) to block departures, not arrivals (which is very different). There's always a way, it's just that it's not always the most pleasant one.

You're right, by the way brown is the best skin color for a woman. And since we're at it, I would add our typical olive skin of the Sons of Hannibal or of Phoenician dominance. When I have a beard and short hair, many Muslims greet me in their original language and are disappointed when I tell them I'm not one of their own.

Indeed, illegal work is a consequence of illegal immigration. You haven't understood a damn thing.

When I see Lukin commenting on Psycho, I think we're getting old, no doubt about it :D

I was disappointed, I've known Entertaiment for a long time, it's a nice album but very easy to appreciate and very easy to take out of the player after three "ye ye ye" tracks. Not that it’s composed of 58 musicians playing offbeat, but that damn bassist knows exactly how many notes to play, with what sound, and how many times to repeat a riff. The '80s also produced something beautiful; you have to search really really really really really really really really really really well, but you can find a little bit bit bit bit of something.

<< Is public debt healed by sending them back? >> Public debt can be healed in 800 ways; there is no "one solution." Sending back undocumented immigrants is not a way to heal the debt, but to reduce illegal and exploited labor. If you eliminate the supply, the demand falls into the void; it's a very simple reasoning. Therefore, it's necessary not only to send back the newcomers, but also to kick out anyone who is not legal, who does not pay taxes and does not make the employer pay taxes, regardless of their nationality, color, or social class. It’s not that if a Chinese person drives a Porsche I wouldn’t kick them out; on the contrary, I would kick them out first, and I would seize the Porsche bought with undeclared earnings. Then anyone can come to Italy, as long as they respect the rules; welcome anyone, yellow, black, red, or pink.

<< I imagine those poor souls dehydrated, hungry, thirsty, pissed off, scared, alone, freezing in the middle of the sea. >> If you send them back, after a while no one will dare to venture. The first ones get screwed, the next won't even leave. If people are fleeing their own country because there's nothing, there will never be anything in that country. << I imagine our fathers getting off ships and trains in other nations... >> Other nations? Australia and the USA, STOP. But our fathers were more than welcome because they needed people to build a nation. So don't mix the two things because they have nothing to do with each other. << They’re not racist, they’re just ignorant as goats. >> No, they’re just pragmatic. The coffers are crying, and we can’t afford to be charitable. You want to have your cake and eat it too, a drunken wife, and guests for dinner as well. The money needed for reception centers has far more useful destinations; one, for instance, is Abruzzo. We made our nation, let them make theirs. It's not hate, it's not superiority, it's nothing; in times of hardship, everyone at home said my grandmother. << The people laughing in the mud houses are LIVING, they don’t have the zombie face of the average Italian, >> There you go, and they’re much worse off than us, that’s what I wanted to tell you. So I don’t understand why you criticize Italy when you should be criticizing Italians, which is a very different thing. Moreover, Brazilian TV sucks worse than Italian TV. It's the Brazilians who are smart enough to enjoy what they have; it’s not the Brazilian government that's competent, because there’s much more mafia than in Italy, just that the mafiosi are fewer but much more powerful (How many Rotary Clubs does São Paulo have? 15. How many does Rio de Janeiro have? 1.) << Italy an industrial power? It’s a joke, right? >> Not industrial, but manufacturing, yes. We are the top in clothing production, furniture, automotive, technical building solutions, woodworking. We are at the forefront of style, in every way, and everything produced in Italy is sold with higher profit margins than anywhere else in the world. And there are less than 70 million of us, and we have never stolen resources from anyone, we have never exterminated peoples nor occupied lands to create our wealth (besides that little Libyan episode). When will we stop wallowing in self-pity and maybe think about something else? But I only see fucking complaints from people who want everything without giving anything in return. You want money for yourselves, for the illegal immigrants, for hospitals but also for museums, for roads and concrete but also for greenery, you want more police but more gentle and delicate, you want to arrest criminals but without infringing on privacy. It’s raining! The government is a thief...

<<< why has someone in Italy stopped smoking now? >>> It seems that you have. And many others on this page have as well, along with many more on other pages. And especially Silvio didn't win with 99.9% of the votes, and the voters are not 100% of Italians. So yes, millions of people have stopped smoking, and that's a verifiable fact. The only issue is if you keep thinking that "only I have understood that it's crap," then nothing will come of it. There are already many awake people, and we need to work on awakening others, because in Italy it's not Cuba and we can do free propaganda.
