Yes, but for example, you who know more about aor than I do, how would you judge the Europeans? Anyway, you've convinced me, you're someone worth talking to because you're not biased and fixated on gender a priori.

"The riddler, a madman who subjects his victims to macabre games where life or death is at stake, because he cannot stand people who do not appreciate the gift of life." Here is the moral: "because they do not appreciate the gift of life" ---->> here’s the moral of the story, damn how profound it is.

"Do you perhaps think that corruption and hypocrisy, false morality and petty masked bigotry are exclusively American?" But absolutely not, ghemison: we have it too, everyone has it to some extent, but Americans accompany hypocrisy, false morality, bigotry, and corruption with a healthy dose of the 450 lines I've just written to you.

Ghemison, better not to speak about the Japanese, with all those tons of violent cartoons copied from American movies and adapted to the "new" Japanese tradition and mentality. Or their PlayStation games: Tekken, for example. But they are always second to the Americans; and we are third.

Who built 4 billion skyscrapers on the sea before us Italians?

"who do you think he copied from?"*

(!) You're right, but who do you think copied the idea of reducing the coast in that way? Who invented this way of thinking: I arrive in a place with beautiful nature and a nice sea, I destroy it, I throw concrete over it, I piss in the water, I exterminate fish with trawl nets sweeping everything away and extinguishing half of the ocean's flora and fauna, then I put up beach umbrellas, and even if the sea is only thirty centimeters deep, I make a ton of swimming pools with hotels, and maybe I even add a restaurant that charges you 500 euros for 4 bits of nonsense. Who? Answer yourself.

And clearly your comment, polletti, couldn't be missing. I'm talking about American movies from the last thirty years, from the 80s to today. Among them, there will surely be some excellent stuff, but 90% or more is either stupid comedies or violent films: should I mention them? Schwarzenegger? Rambo? I mean, where does the stereotype and idea of the muscular and superior white man come from? Hulk smash? Who creates that? And what about Mel Gibson’s films? Lethal Weapon? Lethal Weapon one, two, three, four, six hundred. Punches and nonsense, punches and nonsense, tons of "male virile" idiocy, blood, bombs, sex. And Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ? And Apocalypto? But this is just one character: Schwarzenegger, it may be a comedic background, but the message he sends is always the same: violence, ignorance, and superficiality. Americans don't understand Europeans; Europeans think too much, read too much. Americans want everything, and they want it now: they feel like the masters of the entire world, but they have a culture that's just two centuries old and they dictate the law with their non-existent culture made up of violence, sex, shopping, virility, and wars. They dictate the law to us Europeans, our market is completely invaded by their films, their books, their music. And tango and tash with Stallone? Listen, instead of having me explain it to you, why don't you watch Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore? Let me stick a piece of a review for you: "What factors can explain this syndrome? The obvious answers: the mass media and violent films, computer games, the issues of families broken by divorces and… Marilyn Manson, whose interview with Moore is nothing short of disarming. But why do other countries suffering from the same malaise not reach American violent records with over 11 thousand violent deaths a year compared to 68 in the UK and 165 in Canada." Statistics on deaths, suicide statistics tell us that, and then, where do serial killers come from? The USA! Because Americans either watch American Pie or films where the tough good guy kills the ugly bad guy with rocks, which is okay because even if it's violent, he's doing it for good, right? I almost forgot the Die Hard series with Bruce Willis. I haven't seen the two Italian films you mentioned, but usually, Italians put a reason behind the violence, often a theory or a denunciation (like the great American directors, see Kubrick, violent is A Clockwork Orange but in the meantime, it’s a denunciation of the crazy society). The rest you say about Italy, which is a disaster but never as much as the USA, is due to two reasons: the first is the church, which spreads its bigoted mentality "abortion no, condoms no" while hundreds of priests are accused of pedophilia… The second is that Italy is under the influence of the USA, which they like so much, and so they suck it up and imitate it too: mothers drowning their children, cigarettes, prohibition, violence, ignorance, PlayStation. Ah… I almost forgot about PlayStation, where does it come from? USA. And that game where a group of girls have fun burying one of their peers alive, from which college does it come? And GTA, where you are a criminal who hits the streets and can choose any weapon you want: gun, machine gun, tank, helicopter, baseball bat, knife, sword, etc… you kick an old lady until she groans and spits blood, cut pedestrians in half with a chainsaw, blow up cars, planes, helicopters, steal cars and crash them. Where does this game come from? Like all the other millions that are all the same? And wrestling? Boxing? Where does The Sims come from? Where you have to build your family, buy a house, feed the dog, go to work, send the kids to school? I find it insane; they give you a life in a box, a life identical to all the others. Between ignorance and violence, the American concept of family is wonderful: obviously, good feelings are never missing, and even if they are fake and packaged, they are importa

Did you know that in the USA there are shopping malls with hotels inside? People spending their days as if they were on vacation, inside shopping malls? Does that seem normal to you?

Ghemison, my friend, to begin with, I am particularly referring to the USA. Secondly, it’s obvious that, like any nation, they have produced some good things in the alternative underground. Of course. But what about the majority of films, and even books, that come to us from the United States? Violence, violence, senseless violence, violence just for the sake of violence, parental ineptitude, spoiled children, violent children, serial killers, power wars, anti-education... and so much superficiality. And even in music: who is obsessed with sex? Who can't think of anything else? In movies and music videos, all you see are semi-clothed prostitutes, take Britney Spears and the like. Where do you think they come from? The USA. And their bigoted thinking? Their moralism? Their hypocrisy? Who imported cigarettes all over the world and sold them worldwide? Americans. And now what do they do? They say they are bad for you, they want to ban them everywhere, they act moralistic about something they themselves have produced. They are sick, warped.
