Titolo: Vacanze Italiane

 coincidence that the siesta countries have poor economies.
Wrong. And once again your ignorance is proved. Spain has one of the best
economy in Europe. Much better than Germany.

 ROTFL!!! Texas better than Italy. ROTFLMAO!!!!
Italy and Texas are both fine places if you ask me, Dubya and
Berlusconi notwithstanding. Italy, however, seemed to go one up on
Texas, benefitting from some addition by subtraction when Simone
Ghirlanda emigrated to the Lone Star State. If Texas wants to restore
some balance to the comparison, they ought to stuff Daniel Seriff into
an empty pickle barrel and stow him aboard the next Napoli-bound
freighter sailing from Galveston.
Better yet, they should pack Ghirlanda off with Seriff and maroon them
both on a wind-blown volcanic mid-Atlantic island. There they can toss
their trite 6th grader level-of-sophistication quips and hackneyed
bigotry at one another for the the duration of their lives without
subjecting the rest of us to their inanities. But wait! Methinks
they'd discover before too long what was apparent to most of us after
the 2nd or 3rd posts in this thread: that they have *quite* a bit in
common!   ;-)

The intelligence that you have displayed is in inverse proportion to the 
number of words you used to do so.

Nice try, bigot. You might as well have not bothered to post.

Whatever. Even *you* snipped your barely-coherent ramblings.
Look, I'm going to give you a free life lesson, because you're obviously a 
drooling simpleton and need all the help you can get. If it takes you 300 
words to insult someone, people are going to stop paying attention before you 
make it to the punchline.
Try for a little more concision next time.

 Look, I'm going to give you a free life lesson, because you're obviously a 
Life-lesson to you, Mr. "PhD Candidate" before posting one of your
oh-so-predictable, reflexively defensive fortune-cookie responses:
Look up the meaning of "inverse" the next time you plan on using it.
It's obvious you don't know what it means.

Ah, I get it. Apparently, you think that I was trying to compliment you on 
how smart you are, since that's the only possible way my statement of 
proportion would have been incorrect.
Rest assured, my statement of proportion regarding the relationship between 
your intellectual prowess and your verbosity was absolutely correct.

No matter. It turns out that this alleged Italian is talking out of his ass 
once again. There is no rating of economic strength that I've ever seen, 
simple or complex, that places Spain above Germany. Within six or eight 
places, sometimes, but never above.

It's OK to suck as long as you mean it.

 your intellectual prowess and your verbosity was absolutely correct.
An aspiring academic who has indelibly etched vile Francophobic and
Italophobic remarks attached to his name into the electronic record
ain't in a position to comment on the intellectual prowess of someone
else!

...says the man who can't figure out how to send his posts only once.
At least you aren't even attempting to do anything more than piss out lame 
little pseudo-insults. I imagine that the the results of you doing anything 
else would be tragically comic.

No, I'm not trying to insult you, Mr. Hypersensitive. Learn not to
take umbrage at pity.

 take umbrage at pity.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I'm afraid that your amazingly 
high opinion of yourself hasn't yet propagated through the rest of reality.
What I can't help but wonder about, though, is how this over-inflated sense 
of self-worth of yours interacts with your rather obvious Italianate 
inferiority complex.
Unfortunately, I'll probably never know, since the only apparent difference 
between you and the other Italian dipshits wandering around this thread is 
that you're at least smart enough to know that you would be completely out of 
your depth in a historical argument. I'm all too happy to grant you that.
