Quote from man:
in case you did not know: one can bring up the topic
of national socialism and ... be from germany. seems
you tend to stereotypes.
Quote from version77:
man,
As far as I can tell, Bitsream has an agenda against the USA, it's
people, it's women, and it's leaders. Everything to do with America.
He thinks the US is turning into a fascist state. I just thought it
ironic since he is from Italy (as far as I can tell) which on Wikipedia
claims to be the founding country of Fascism. Maybe this is where
he gets the erroneous idea that America is turning fascist.
No stereotypes.
Bitstream is completely PO'd at me so I have him on ignore so I
don't have to hear him rant and rave and call me names anymore.
Yeah, probably the best way to enter Italy along that route (Locarno/Bellinzona). Every season is ok thereQuote from man:
i once drove down from swiss mountains towards
lake como and switched on the radio. they had a
mess on air and i listened to about two hundred
ave marias over the next hour ... truly amazing.
weird somehow, but great as well ... italian ...![]()

Edit: that would be the Lago Maggiore, not Como. Well, nice too
As pertaining to this thread, although Italian fascism was of course bad and inhuman, I still sometimes feel it would never really have stuck with the Italians. Fascism was perfected by the Germans, as everything is perfected by them. I think even Mussolini was not very happy with Hitler, but maybe because he dressed badly.
The Itialians adhere more to family values and traditions, and still do(!), which I think is a fundamental obstacle for any totalitarian regime to get hold.
Ursa..
sorry. was not aware of the little vendetta here.Quote from version77:

when i wrote it ... sh.., exposing yourself as the smartass
and then get it wrong ... uh, embarassing.
mussolini always appeared like a joke to me, though
i never checked him out as much as i tried it with the
mustache guy. you might be right on the italian
fascism as such. the people there are reluctant to
take orders by their very nature except from mama,
patrone and bambina. but everybody a little further
away is punished by contempt.
nice docu here:

btw i always found the way they executed mussolini
very cruel.
