amacpher Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 quote:Originally posted by River City Loyola - was not aware. Was it funny, at least? Rick Mercer did one about the Portuguese that was just hilarious... Just go to You Tube and search "Cheeseballs". It's like a 2-3 minute video. I guess the video wasn't totally "PC" but it wasn't an insult to Italians or anything racist. The guy portrayed in the video isn't even Italian! Lets face it, the dude in that video is scum. A total spanner! And yes he fits the "gino" stereotype, but I didn't create that stereotype. And I'm not anti-Italian, I'm anti people-who-fit-that stereotype.

Vancouver Fan Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It's normal to brag(boast) when ones team wins a major title. :)Especially as a reply to others who have a problem with said team.

You started the thread, remember England hater? Sorry to say but England, player-for-player is better than Italy and you will have to live with that for the next while. And the corrupt Italian league is another thing you'll have to live with indefinitely. Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have a right to be proud if they themselves accomplish something good. How does being born within the same artificial boundaries as someone else 400 years earlier make YOU proud?

River City Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Forza, I never said it was illegal to celebrate a team's victory. But there is a difference between being a graceful winner and being an asshole. In 2004 in Edmonton, the Greeks went out of their way to drive 30 blocks from their west Jasper Ave enclave of restaurants through Little Italy all the way to the Portuguese bars. The Portuguese weren't exactly tickled pink. The Italians were also rightfully ticked off at this. Now, I don't hate the Greeks (especially the women), but those that made the drive deserve a right good beating.... I also never said I hated Italy or Italians. But I don't appreciate the attitude you've displayed in slagging the English. Looks like Vancouver Fan will have to bring his great risotto to Edmonton for the U-20 next year. BTW, the best I've ever had was made with Rapinni. I can't stand the vegetable boiled, but damn is it ever tasty in a risotto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, no Greeks were actually watching the tournament at the start. *eyeroll* A bit like Forza actually. Mysteriously absent about a month ago.
