C'est un anglais qui te parle, car ici on Europe on considère la culture d'être une bonne chose. Usenet would be generally improved if all poopytalkers like John of Aix would Remove Themselves Altogether. Usenet would improve if assholes like you would fade away..!!! Go back to your trailers park, don't forget to get your meds and have a good sleep..!!! I'd sleep a lot better of you poopytalkers would Remove Your Poopytalk from Usenet Altogether. miguel 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? |

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 humiliate the Italians before falling under Axis occupation.

island of Malta humiliated the might of the Italian air force with three Fairey Swordfish. 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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. Dan |

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. 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" "Dan" wrote in message ...
