Well, if this reassures anyone about the quality of italian justice system ( :lmfao: :rolleyes:), the Knox girl was not the only one judged guilty, but his italian boyfriend Sollecito too (26 years in jail, for Amanda 25) and a ivorian guy, Rudy Guede, who was sentenced 30 years.

No prejudice against amerikka, it seems. :yeah:

I like it how US media paint Italy as some sort of Third World hellhole  :lol:

It isn't?

Yes, it has a lot of culture, and history. Yes, it has added a lot to the world as a whole. That still doesn't mean it isn't a Third World Hellhole.

Now, now, let's be realistic here.  Post-unification Italy has no culture or history and has added nothing to the world as a whole.

Fascism was merely an extention of the total war mentality of the Great War to peacetime.

If you mean the Italian court system, then yes. Yes, it will.
