This is really dumb, and I'd like to see everyone in this comm agree that the owner of this store is violating the law and discriminating unjustly. That is my view, if there is another view out there, please, share it with me.

Berlusconi's "miracle" plan

[ddstory.livejournal.com]

Berlusconi has practically ceased ruling in Italy for some time. Now he's merely an actor, a poseur. It's what he does best. But now - surprise, surprise! - he's come up with a giant "reform plan". Do bear with me, though. The devil is in the details. For instance, while under that plan the police in a number of regions will remain without money even for fuel for their vehicles, state senators will still bathe in luxury, and use the fancy exclusive services that are being granted to representatives - for free. Nice plan, eh?

At first, when Berlusconi presented his plan, everyone seemed impressed. The markets responded enthusiastically (like they know anything about the real world anyway?) Because what Berlusconi laid out in just 14 pages (apparently he's trying to beat Herman Cain's plan for a 3-page plan), if realized in practice, would truly be the "biggest program for economic reform Italy has ever seen" (Corriere della Sera). Except, the nice impressions lasted for little more than a day. Then reality struck back.

I'll actually ask this here.

So can someone please tell me what in the world is going on? Passions have been flaring here since yesterday. Slow news day or what!?

You're really really not making this easy for us, guys. I hate being the bad guy for no reason, but Hell is my witness, along with all the witches and goblins in there, we'll do whatever it takes to extinguish these flames. We have to. You have to realize that actions do have consequences.

My question is this. ARE YOU actually capable of talking like adults to each other, or not?

To make my case more eloquently, here's a pic for y'all.



Chill, folks! You can't convert everybody on the Internet into your Sacred Truth!
