1) Mussolini was a terrible influence on this country. I'd have to write an essay to explain why. Let's just say that we're now in a position of apologetic disadvantage, much like the Germans.

2) Martin Scorsese films are the best and most realistic. Especially Goodfellas, those areas of New York back in the day are a lot like what my home town is still like.

3) Not thick, not thin. Neapolitan style.

I hope this answers your question. If not, we can continue in PM because I think the owner of this website would rather not have this type of discussion in public view. Capish?

-True or False

1) It is considered an insult in Italy for you to request a doggie bag for food that you do not finish inside a restaurant
2) Real Italians do not eat sandwiches

1) It's not as socially acceptable as in the U.S. but I've done it without thinking twice. If you can't finish what's on your plate in Italy, chances are that it's so exquisite that you have no other option but to take it home.

2) I eat multiple sandwiches every day and so do most of the Italians I know. Where did this rumor originate from? We're famous for our sandwiches, the real Italian 'Panini':

Anon73o · 10-23-2009, 07:07 PM

lol man that is more than a sandwich by American standards. I was reffering to a plain, bland turkey sandwich between two slices of bread! I would eat that panini for the rest of my life btw

Malakaibeats · 10-23-2009, 07:07 PM

And with the delicious image above, I bid you goodnight. It's 3:00am and it's about time I hit the sack (no homo).

Thank you all for your questions. Thanks for being so civilized and friendly. I'll bump this thread again tomorrow and hopefully we can continue the lulz.

Night misc.

funnily enough, me and my friends eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches haha, it's a growing gastronomical trend here..I also eat lots of what you would consider 'normal' sandwiches, everyone does. The photo was just an extreme example of how awesome our sandwiches get here haha.

Mmm, panini. I just had my first muffuletta a few weeks ago from the only authentic Italian deli in town. Unbelievable.

Actually, the whole area where I'm from was colonized by many including the Greeks, there is a huge Greek influence in the mountains (Aspromonte) of my region. The elders still speak Greek in a lot of towns.

About my username, it's actually 'malakai' which was the name of the main evil kid in the movie 'Children of the Corn'. My friends started calling me that after I accidentally set a classroom in my school on fire when I was playing around with some matches lol...not a good day.

I'm going to address this question again because I remembered a chilling fact. Alessandra Mussolini, his granddaughter, is in Italian politics lol, she is the leader of an extreme right-wing party that you can actually vote for. She is constantly a guest on Italian talk shows and is possibly the stupidest bitch I've ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. It's as if Hitler's granddaughter was in politics TODAY and people voted for her...horrific.

When they impeach Berlusconi, which will be soon, all of these extreme political parties will have to go into hiding for all the damage they've done, or people really will hang them in the streets. They only maintain power now because our current government allows it. That will all end soon.

Governments should fear the people, not the other way around, always.

There are countless beautiful girls in Italy. If you're considering coming to Italy for the girls, you picked the right place for sure.

Me and all my friends are NOT racist and we welcome anyone. There is however a racist undercurrent in Italy, mainly due to the existence of some very dangerous political parties that spread terrible propaganda. This isn't a problem for tourists though, you won't be here long enough to experience any racism, and if you do, let me know.

He already explained his name is from Children of the Corn.

But to answer the question for reference, I believe he is originally from Calabria. A region in the south of Italy which was/still is heavily influenced by the old Greek migrants.
