Probably because they speak poopytalk.

I'd sleep a lot better of you poopytalkers would Remove Your Poopytalk

PS: I don't suppose you poopytalking morons have ever figured out why
the BIBLE is in ENGLISH, not French Poopytalk.

Well, it was in Latin long before it was in
English and Latin is way closer to French
than English...

I don't know where you get your information, but the very first
version of the Bible was the King James Version.

Google Vulgate

Why would I want to look at masturbation pictures?

Wrong.

There were at least six English versions of the Bible before the KJV:

Anglo-Saxon manuscript -- 995 AD
Wycliff -- 1380 AD
Tyndale --1534 AD
Great Bible -- 1539 AD
Geneva -- 1557 AD
Rheims -- 1582 AD

And then the 1st Edition of the King James, published in 1611.

Anything else you need to be corrected on?

Obviously somebody has fed you some very bad information (probably
Satan).

Must be so. I'll ask him...

Miguel? Is it so??

No, man. I exorcise regularly.

Indeed. The Greeks, while no match for the Germans, managed to thoroughly

The Italians weren't entirely hard to humiliate in WWII - the tiny
island of Malta humiliated the might of the Italian air force with three
Fairey Swordfish.

Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.

True, the Italians were pathetically clumsy in WWII. It's interesting to
note that despite this performance there are few in America who make
"Italian jokes" the way we poke fun at the French.

Which part of "America?" Iowa? Iowa City? Where?

Those of us from New York (that's that big city on the East Coast
that's still part of America) have heard jokes made about and told on
every race, creed, color, and shape of mankind.

It's how you knew you'd arrived.

As a second generation Italian-American on my fathers side I've heard
plenty. But the reason you don't hear as many is because the Italians
don't think they are great warriors.

The best isn't really a joke though. When, during the first Persian Gulf
War, a bunch of Iraqis supposedly surrendered to an Italian news crew
the joke was that they had taken more POWs than the entire Italian Army
during WWII.

Keep in mind, Jay has a minor in History, but...

One reason the Italians had no great desire for battle wasn't a
particular lack of courage or combativeness -- Italians can be as
pusillanimous as any people.

The fact was the "Italian nation" was still in formation at the time
of WW2. The federation of City States that were united only after
Napoleon (A Frenchman, no less) completely reset the political
organization of the peninsula.

Italian nationalists pushed for unification all through the 19th
century, but what appeal this had for the common Italian is lost. All
we have are individual recollections, and those Immigrant Italians I
have known are very clear that they are from Naples or Sicily or
Calabria.

While Mussolini had grand fascist visions of restoration of the Roman
Empire, apparently -- in most cases -- his enlistees did not share his
grand vision, and fought with less than alacrity.

This does not mean Italians are "Unsuited for war." All men (in the
generic sense) are unsuited for war. What makes them suited is some
combination of impulse, desire, conviction, training, and purpose.

Provide that, and you can lead Frenchmen to Moscow.

Perhaps because the Italians don't have the arrogance of the French.

Allow me to rephrase that, please. Although there are jokes about EVERY
ethnic group, the types of jokes we hear about Italians (and just about
everyone else) are far different in tone from those told about the French.
