Berlusconi and the 18 year old: illegitimate daughter, affair, or ... ?

[Drakken]

Reprimand from the catholic church?

Is there any poll that says what percentage of italians are actually catholic?

Officially, 99.9%.

Can't be.

Italy is to Catholicism was Israel is to Judaism.

The few Protestants who were in Italy were burned or chased away long ago.

The percentage of Israelis who are actually Jews is not that high - only 3/4 are "Jewish":

Do they count Palestinians as Israelis?

Just curious.

[Malthus]

Berlusconi's private affairs should remain, well, private.

... unless they are entertainingly salacious.

Depends on what you mean by "Palestinians". They aren't counting those who live in the West Bank or Gaza, only in Israel proper - there are lots of (non Jewish) Israeli Arabs who are Israeli citizens.

I concur, but you must also admit that, after all this years of him blurring the lines between his public and his private life, it's kinda hard to be surprised that something like this wouldn't happen sooner or later. Also wasn't there some stuff about state planes being used to convoy people to and from his parties?

Anyway, it takes guts to accuse the FT of being controlled by leftists.

There is not such a thing as a palestinian.

The arabs that live inside israel are israeli citizens, with all the rights and none of the obligations that we have.

The ones in the territories are not israeli citizens, and instead should be jordanian or egyptian citizens, and go back to their countries.

It's good to see commies everywhere: it keeps you healthy and fit. Look at B.'s hair, it started regrowing when he started his political career.

Perhaps you should consider a career in politics...

The lady in question:

Meh, in my neck of the woods she'd be distinctly average. Her forhead is too elongated for one.

3 beers, that's as high as I'll go.

[CountDeMoney]

Her forhead is too elongated for one.

You foreigners are one fucked up bunch.  Elongated forehead? What the fuck does that even mean?

In that picture, why are you even looking at her face for fuck sake.

Except their homes are all in Israel proper.

So you do recognize that the territories are an integral part of Israel.

Did I ever tell you that I like you a lot?

She is too fat.

She is too fat.

Siegy's used to his own kind.
