KingofGnG: Italians are full of shit and oh-so full of themselves. They think they are at the top of fucking everything just because we have one of the most rich cultural histories in the world.
Italians like to live in the past and can't use their brain for shit. Just look at how dumb and criminal are the politicians that ruled the country (and still rule it) during the latest 40-20 years...
Wake the fucking up: we are good for almost nothing, in the modern world. We invented the modern CPU (Federico Faggin), we almost invented the computer industry (Olivetti) and then destroyed it to please the fucking politicians and corrupted parties.
Do you realize i've used a common slogan as a joke?
I agree with some of what you said, anyway my english is not so good (and slow) to participate in a debate.
Have good holidays and try to chill out a little.
