What is this, a challenge? I'm not gonna talk you out of it, what do I care where you choose to live?

I personally don't see the big fascination with the US (not anymore that is, cause I used to), but do whatever you want.

Ya, i'm just busting your balls. A couple of you Europeans seem to be kinda touchy when we talk about "Europe". and especially when compared to USA, it gets to IZ every time :p

I see.

Your parents were Canadian born though right?

What i want to get to is, do you consider yourself Italian(as well as Canadian) or not?
My mom was but my dad wasn't, though they were both brought up speaking Italian and speak English just as well.

I'm Italien. :D We have a lot of Italian traditions, but I don't know.

Do you speak Italian?


Do you think you might in the future go back and live in Italy?


Sorry if this seems like an interrogation :D

You still have Italian traditions and probably your mother cooks Italian food too, Italians are kinda like Arabs in the sense that we both hold onto our traditions even when we immigrate. I like that :tup:

I understand more than I can speak, but I studied it for a few years.

I've kind of always wanted to live in Europe, or somewhere else. Although Canada is totally laid back and everything, it's reallllllly boring here. So, if given the opportunity to live abroad, I would probably do it.

Personally not a big fan of the primitive anti-European chauvinism you see in US culture at times. At least if it were based on facts not prejudice.

But I hate chauvinism everywhere, it's one of the things that always annoyed me about living in Norway. You win a couple of gold medals in the winter olympics and suddenly "we're the best in the world". :yuck:

You should visit your parents hometown someday :tup:

Off to watch a little of Juve and Liverpool

It goes both ways here. On the one hand, you've got political opportunists pointing to Europe as if it were the Soviet Union. You have the phenomenon of "Euro-trash" -- people who make fun of the European image (the American perception of a European image, as if that exists in reality) and anybody who wants to emulate that.

I mean hey -- here Americans think its funny that discos are still popular in Europe, even after they were burned-to-the-ground as uncool here in 1979.

Then on the other hand, marketers and consumers gobble up consumerist crap that smells of "Europe" and/or a non-English name as if that were stature.

It's hypocritical here, big time. People don't know if they love Europe or hate it. It's really both.

Fred, is there any circumstance where you would have premarital sex?

I mean ANY.
If my life were in danger and that was the only way out.

Other than that, no definitely not.

Have you ever had the chance?

Do chances just come up? As in you're sitting in your living room and all of a sudden you have a chance to have sex? :confused:
