Actually nothing "interesting" at least what our news selectos thougth.
Months ago your president show on the news pretty often, I don't remember the subjetc so I think it was no very importante (for me :P).

I don't know from Italy but there are several news that explain that middle class are geting fewer in europe. (Actualy this is happening all over the world, but it was interesting that in europe too).

With "fewer" means that "distance" between rich and poor are getting bigger (so poor are gettig poorer, rich richer, and middle class are going into poor or rich).

Not a good think at all.

Spain I think is more critical. And most country are in critical situation. Ther exist one thing that I don't why news give it so litle importance that is "global inflation". We hear about local inflation in news but rarely explain that inflation is going (in absolut term not relative) higher and higher a long the time. Even usa is going through this.
The wors thing is that all economy goes with the inflation EXCEPT SALARIES!!!. They go up in smaller rate than inflation which create that things are expensives a long time (again in absoute terms).
And believe me, Italy is not so critical as you may think, I live in south america (uruguay), I that is critica :shock:
our politician sucks in general and we have a governement forever wornst
Most countries thing that way :P, except for france that people thing that sarcozi "is cool" :roll:
the situation in Naples is critical
I hear that Italians woman don't shave its under arms :? (well, every one has its tastes :D).
Not, realy, you mean trash becasue people throu garbage or because garbage service is in strike?
the petrol is more and more expensive...(1,5€!!!!) and there are more poors(many people steal things that can't be eaten in the markets)
more and more criminality
Yes, as I told you is a glabal phenomeno, except for some north countries (norway, island, etc).
murderers(english people don't know about the murderer of that english student in Perugia?????)
That is horrible, and shock most society, normaly people response asking for more police and more security. What takes society to an state like USA :x where you can be arrrested and tortured just for "suspect" of terrorism.
our economy is falling(we are the last nation in europe)
I think spain is worst, but realy had not check the numbers.

But don't worry, you european still are the most "ok" societes in the world.
By the way How old are you?

Dudes, the inflation of the whole world is going up, and it's normal. Right now, nearly all economies are based on debt (as in, your money represent the debt someone has to someone) instead of value. Since there are interest rates and credits, the more time passes, the more debt there is, the less value is left. We're way passed the point where there could be 1$ of value found for all 1$ of debt. Worst, governments have accepted that by taking loans of money instead of creating it and destroying it as needed. We're all heading for a major economic crash... Weeeeeeeeeee!

Hmm how do I see Italy? Since I have only worked with one Italian guy and have never been to Italy, I only have stereotypes to guide me.
So I'll say-
Hot summers, good food, olive oil, Catholicism, strong traditions and family bonds, sexy women with many many overprotective brothers, mafia and moto.

I mean that there are more than 4000 tons of garbage trown in the streets....

also today television says that we are the last state in europe for the PIL and the first for unused constructions and politician payment....behind portugal and spain....

and it's true that our condition is critical....the 70% of a common salary goes to the state and ,for the high inflation and the collapse of loaning, a family remains with few moneys.....

i'm eighteen, why????
