I always thought Bocelli was an arrogant bastard until I found out he was blind .
New England forgot the Italians also invented the old dip your hair in olive oil technique.

Seriously though. What a classic and beautiful piece this is. I wish more of the Lounge members, like that alcoholic ****, Derranged, would appreciate art like this.

What's your beef soldier?.
I thought he was arrogant because he just stood and grinned. Until I found he didn't open his eyes because he was blind. It's an easy mistake to make.

italians are handsome, and we can all cook and sing. big d#cks, too.
you know.
i won't speak on brainpower. i don't subscribe to this, but i've heard quite a few times that aborigines are not bright. it's almost surely got a lot to do with the evaluation, not the raw intellectual ability. i've never met any aborigines, and i'm not judging them by bringing this up.
ask a city boy to survive a walkabout, and tell me who is a dumb dumb.
i addressed the TS, stepped on zero toes, and big upped the italians along the way. my work here is done.
Edit: Neanderthals have been proven to have larger brains than us. Again they didn't have our knowledge of more sophisticated tools, and the fact our ancestors effective taught that superior knowledge to the next generation shows how a better education is key to perceiving a group of people as smarter than others.
In conclusion, if believe if you took a aborigine and put him through Harvard or Cambridge he would come out just as intelligent as the next guy.Last edited by MBE; 01-12-2014, 09:46 PM.
