Hands up if you think the deviant will ever go to jail? *long pause* No one?
Oct 27th, 2012 - 07:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course he won't.
That's one of the loopholes that doesn't exist if you aren't in the money. “We are all equal in the eyes of the law”, I learned in Europe. Well, either the law is short-visioned, or some are just more equal than others...
Oct 27th, 2012 - 08:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Try looking at Italian law. The system is so byzantine that cases run on for decades and rarely reach a conclusion.
Oct 27th, 2012 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0There are a lot of parallels between Italy and Argentina. Much of the attitude to law - or disregard of it - are very similar. They like the idea of laws but don't think they apply to them as individuals. If they break the law and get away with it people will think they have done well. You must have heard many time, ”That is the law but we are Argentines'. I have. Tis a cultural thing.
Good sheep Elaine! An EU nation is corrupt and it's mainly Argentinas fault...

@8 Grow up. If you actually came from South America (I doubt it) and spent time in Buenos Aires (I doubt that also) you would know exactly what I am talking about. The Italian influence very is strong there.

Oct 27th, 2012 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And what has the Italian influence in Argentina has to do with Berlusconi breaking the law? SA also have British influence, that doesn't mean we methodically abuse our kids, does it?
Guzz (the victim) When you are capable of sensible conversation we can continue.
Oct 27th, 2012 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What has made you so bitter, I wonder?

I say:
”Tis a cultural thing.” says the Albion’s poster whose ancestors climbed trees after squirrels and shagged porcupines for fun………. whilst in Rome, Seneca was writing his ten books of Controversiae…….
”Tis a cultural thing” says the green eyed woman that only gossips about presidential shoes and bags from a woman so far superior than herself that it hurts....
”Tis a cultural thing” indeed…....... What a Turnipette!
Still….

At least they never hung him up by his boots.

Where are you, Acchiappatuoipropriladriprimadiromperelescatoleal’Argentina?
Oct 27th, 2012 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any comment about your Berlusca?
we think you missed a letter.
Oct 27th, 2012 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the peak of the Latin Empirep happened half a millenia ago. Just like the Muslim one a few millenia ago.
Oct 27th, 2012 - 08:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyways, the papers said the Argentine judicial system is preparing a case on the Arg president. This seems way too dramatic and harsh a culture. (acknowledgung the Clinton case was ridiculous too).
@6 You don't get it. This is part of your “heritage”.
Oct 28th, 2012 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@10 But you do, don't you? That's why you fled Uruguay and are hoping to find refuge in what used to be the porn capital of Europe. Why didn't you stay home? You could have slipped over the border and found refuge in the new queer capital of the world!
@12 And so you attempt to drag conversations down below the level of the gutter you live in. Presumably you are proud that you have ascended so far in the cesspit. Here's some news. You're still in the cesspit! Or perhaps the cesspit of the cesspit?
Good news, this should be the end at least of his political career. In fact I think he already announced his retirement a week before in order not to look like he was pushed! Anyone remember him leching on Cristina at the G20 last year?
Nov 01st, 2012 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0#1 Keep dreaming! As wesaw at the G20, she's a cut above him =)
#12 “says the green eyed woman that only gossips about presidential shoes and bags from a woman so far superior than herself that it hurts....”
SO true, comrade =)
