Silvio Berlusconi - What really Happened
Silvio is one corrupt, murdering son of a bitch but at least he sticks it to the commies.

there aren't any commies left tbh...
So, you'd take a corrupt, murdering son of a bitch over communism. You are 1980's American foreign policy.Originally Posted by Alex Clomsaver

I think he was trolling actually
I think I was too. it's hard to tell these days.
Oh you were. And I agreed 100% with your post.
Yes.

Is he trolling now??
Nah, just being Alex.Is he trolling now??
Would you people honestly prefer a communist government (with all of the foibles that go with it) to one that is corrupt and has links to organized crime?

I'd like an actual communist government, not the Stalin communism.
But I guess Humans are too morally corrupt to deal with a utopia.
The idea that I have "free will" is the only irrational belief that I allow myself.
If I am wrong, I had no choice in the matter.
You think the two are mutually exclusive?
For that matter, you think those are the only two alternatives?
I agree 100%. I want to live in the Culture, but I don't think anything like it could exist, unless humans engineered themselves into something else.

Also Alex you need to stop listening to that Tea Party/Republican bullshit. I'ts scare tactics for people who don't know how to think. I heard a fox news broadcaster comparing new taxes to the holocaust today, and I wonder what the fuck kind of country do I live in, and why the fuck do I stay here? I'd leave for whatever socialist european country would have me atm.
Come to Canada, it's way fucking better than the US.
Everytime I hear of US political reform (such as medicare reform, limiting company's ability to contribute aka bribe politicians, etc.) I think, oh hey look we already have this in Canada.
You're only really screwed over if you're in the top 0.1% of the country that runs everything.

@ Hav
No, when I was mentioning "foibles" I was implying that you'd end up with government sponsored killings (which is much worse than most anything Berlusconi lets his mob buddies get away with,) corruption out the ass and a bunch of other things as well.
You were the one who made it an either or. I'd rather have neither, obviously, but between the two I would chose the generic corrupt authoritarian government over the generic communist one.
@ Lysander
I don't get why you think I listen to tea party stuff because I don't. Its possible to be right wing without being a frothing at the mouth support our troops person just as its possible to be a left winger without dressing up like a circus freak and mulling around the town square with your equally ridiculous looking friends.
@ Yorda
I'd rather not have government funded political parties, thank you very much.

oh me oh my
Better than having an easily bribed government in the pocket of big business.

Oh, you mean capital punishment. Good thing that only places like China do that.
And as I was attempting to point out, there's very little difference at the thin end of the wedge. Current communist states are either dictatorships (Cuba) or corporatist (PRC) with the communist tag being very loosely applied to anything 'bad'. Much the same as 'socialist'.
unjust government sponsored killings
No, I'm pretty sure I've only applied it to people who considered themselves to be communists (and yes there are admitted communists on the Italian left.)

Welp, so the new rolleyes smilie sucks, thats great to know.

We seem to have different definitions of just.
Badges of Honor: Three probations, one reversed.
god, this discussion sucks.
At least we picked the right forum for it. Which reminds me, its probably time to give it a new title, you got anything funny for it?

Word spreads of Silvio being a Twilight fanboi

hahahaha
'just' is subjective.
I trust we have the same concept of 'subjective'?
[B]Client:[/B] “Well we are well known amongst all the Russian billionaires so there is great potential for you to get your name out there by doing this project for free. Also I am a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.”
Btw, I did give some thought to that, the problem is with the current title you just raised the bar too high. Then again we could just keep it and only change the holiday. So post Christmas we have "Welcome to Hurleyhouse: Easter is ruined" etc..
Communists don't actually believe in communism they believe in the bastardized version of communism aka Stalinism.

I like Putinism then.

Terrible necro by a terrible poster in a terrible thread.

Since we have revived it,
If he hadn't paid the 'underage' call girl, he wouldn't have broken any laws. What he is going down over is the fact she wasn't 18+ and money changed hands, which is against the law. She was actually over the age of consent, but not majority.
Anyway
BUNGA BUNGA BUNGA
