I was talking about southern Italians btw. Northern Italians look a bit different I guess.

I'm of Lithuanian descent, so I can at least spot you on a map. 
Anyway, your comments about the beautiful girls in N Europe reminded me of the Portugal vs. Latvia WC 2006 qualifier earlier this year in Riga. While places like Germany during the recent Confed Cup had their share of ugly and stupid locos run out on the pitch (as the Spanish language announcer called them here), in that match Latvia had a not too unattractive topless woman run out on the pitch. That's more like it.

Were the fifth oil producers in the World and we provide about 10% of the oil America uses. The oil prices are really high right now and this country is worse than ever and its because our current president. He is a disguised dictator, has commited crimes against humanity, cheated in various elections that would get him and his political party more power, supports his own terrorism groups here in the country AND the colombian guerrilla, now has created hate between the social races making the inferior hate the wealthy and he is making the wealthy have less money and the poor become poorer
Also corruption. Oh and were like the most dangerous country in all South America. Murder/crime rates are really high esp in the capital

Corruption at all levels of the Government....number 1 reason why the Government is so broke...( I hate good loving type of people who are soft spoken and are nice to many people but behind all that they are prime corrupters and enjoy the luxury of riches at the expense of the country)
Many Untouchables who are way above the law....No Justice
No Equality ( Money buys everything, and having none would be disasterous)
The Supreme Judge is Emotional and Stupid......heck.....
All state Officials and Staffs are Stupid and Selfish!
Nobody in Power thinks for the Country....
NO FUTURE....
My country is TRASH! Absolute Trash (well at least the people in power) !!!!
I can think of 30 ways to greatly improve the country, all of which, involve assasinations :nasty: :nasty: :nasty:....

I would tell you what that chemical state is called but for the life of me I can't remember it. Must have repressed that chemistry class I barely passed. 
Btw this thread has become a handsome excercise in presenting your country in the worst possible light, as well as trying to top earlier entries. While not noticeably noble, perhaps, at least it provides for a rare intellectual challenge around these parts.
But just to take a quick a dirty example, I love complaints like this:
First it's alcohol sold too expensive, we are responsible enough to make our own decisions, citizens govern themselves
On the other hand, there are always far too many problems connected directly or indirectly to alcohol - traffic casualties, physical abuse in the home, liver disease, poor (or expensive) health care, not enough rehab clinics

This is because the country is full of immigrants that are not given decent jobs, instead you see doctors flipping burgers at McDonalds.
At the same time you see a rioter getting the same sentence as a murderer.
Probably one of the best things that the government is able to control in Sweden, knowing how the drinking culture is. Other than that, the know-how that SB provides cannot be found in any other country.
Such a shame how the pension system is. A person after working all his/her life and paying that sum of taxes does not deserve this kind of retirement.

I'm sorry to hear that and even more sorry my country doesn't do anything to help you

The country is just so divided and people think individually(up to relatives and family) but I see not many having good intentions to help the people in general.
It wasn't like this during the reign of our first president, but then again perhaps the solidarity was still felt then after the battles against colonialism.
Its such a mess Erik, I have to tell my self to stop thinking about it and just go on with my business.
Just last week they started implimenting a new regulation at the Airport. There is no pick-up lane, it is reserved for licensed taxis and officials, everyone else has to enter the parking area which you have to pay a minimum of 3.000,- rupiahs (about 30cents but ofcourse with a higher local value). I can't recall ever visiting an Airport where you can't just come and quickly pick some one up. This new regulation is also causing alot of traffic there, cause now all vehicles must look for parking space no matter what. Thieves in Suits I tell ya.
Here, the son of former president Soeharto was convicted for big scandal about 2-3 years ago. The judge who sentenced him or who was on the case was killed not long after the sentance or case.
This 'son' later was found guilty for masterminding the murder of this highly ranked judge and was sentanced to 7 years in prison. 7 years??? Now after only serving 2-3 years his lawyer is working on getting him out on perol after serving 2/3 of his sentance with good behaviour.
More recently a guy charged of corrupting on two accounts for a total of about US$100,000(perhaps less, I dont recall) is facing a 20year sentance.
WTF? Murdering a judge (sort of like a supreme judge) only 7 years jail time? Corruption 20 years? and then perol? since when is 2/3 of 7 years equal to 3years?
After that murder, there hasn't been any other judge who is brave enough to go after the BIG UNTOUCHABLESS, only the small sacrificed and sometimes cornered people get convicted or exposed.

Yeah, luckily many people are somewhat religious so to some extent they are enduring any/all problems and seeing them as mere test to their will and faith.
Unfortunately with this mentality nobody will challange the corruptors seriously enough. Perhaps even if I had the power to challange I might think twice.
1. Live long, happy life knowing others suffer and I do nothing.
2. Strive to help others and be selfsatisfied with it but living a shorter life :groan:.
