Italy too?

Friday, May 18th, 2007

It seems that Italy has fallen to the rule of stupidity as well. This appears to be a major movement these days. A story written by the BBC says that Italy believes the mistaken views of one man could be damaging enough he needs to be silenced. That’s quite pathetic in my opinion. I would [...]

Movie review: Things To Do

Sunday, May 13th, 2007
