I have seen some Italian action movies, not bad.

Radwimps · #3 2010-03-14 10:12:56

I heard most of Italian men love talking. is it true?

Woopywoo · #4 2010-03-14 14:24:21

i heard italian people are racist

lapy · #5 2010-03-15 02:28:14

@woopywoo well yea, many people are racist cause in italy there are a lot of immigrants that can cause diseases sometimes... that's very sad, racism is really a bad thing. People come in italy with illegal ways, without documents, without money, without anything and they think that italy is made of gold. Italy is not gold, work is a bit hard to find. Italy is just a little cute country, full of art, history and customs. Apart from that, if foreign people respect rules, they are more than welcome!

@Radwimps Italian people in general love to talk, we are a very social folk. For Example, i usually go out with people i don't know in my group but it's not a problem, i can still have fun.

lapy · #7 2010-03-15 05:51:59

Qiaominghua · #8 2010-03-15 07:48:38

Italian Football League is my favorite, I like Inter Milan

lapy · #9 2010-03-15 09:58:53

i like Juventus wink2

Radwimps · #10 2010-03-15 10:12:24

Thanks 001_smile Umm, It's hard 4 me to talk with people I don't know. Envious Oh and many people in my country think Italian are short-tempered(maybe It's because Italian soccer : I like watching sports and I also saw their match, and.. ), take great care of their clothes, and so on.

Hannah-Rose · #11 2010-03-15 10:23:37

My Italian friends are amazing, very good sense of style, love culture/art/music, talkative and passionate. 001_smile

Qiaominghua · #12 2010-03-15 10:27:09

Juventus! i know ,We call it the Bianconeri

lapy · #13 2010-03-15 12:06:53

@Radwimps well italians, at least in the south, are warm people, they are very friendly with foreigners and also with italian coming from another town. That is my experience and i'm not the only one thinking so. Personally i always help foreigners, twice i helped japanese. For the last thing, yes italians care very much about dresses and aspect, but hey, this is the fashion country! 001_tongue

@Hannah-Rose i'm glad you knew good italian friends, knowing them in person you can understand how stereotypes are quite all false!

@Quiaominghua Yes bianconeri haha anyway i'm not such a great soccer follower, i don't care very much...i prefer to play it. Yea an italian can also not care about football! hehe

Remus · #14 2010-03-15 15:28:21

i am really afraid to visit italy

Qiaominghua · #15 2010-03-16 00:59:51

Upstairs a friend，why are you afraid visit Italy?

Delia · #16 2010-03-16 06:45:35

I like Italy! It's very famous for the art! And I heard of that Italian is very romantic. If I can, I want to travel or live in Italy one day.

lapy · #17 2010-03-16 14:24:18

@Remus why are you afraid? also if maybe i can guess the answer.

@Delia 001_smile good luck, living here is not easy if you don't find a good work.

youareguessing · #18 2010-03-17 00:18:07

Sulla mia parte, vedo gli italiani come amichevoli e romantici. Sono bel e molto buone. Pardon prego il mio italiano, io ancora stanno imparando. : -)

I love the country though. I've been there once. 001_smile

I agree with u biggrin Italian men are attractive : recently I met my Italian penpal for real, he was very fashionable and shopping with him was very interesting : I've never seen the man who loves shopping!

Elodiesilver · #22 2010-03-17 11:17:59

They say that trousers of Italian men are lighter at the-you-know-where-place because they touch it so oftenXD I don't think that's true though:P

Are Italian people really polite and are they really quick offended?

don't quite want to get hurt ...or killed

lapy · #24 2010-03-19 11:05:29

@Elodiesilver italian people, at least in southern regions, are polite with foreign people. In the north maybe they are polite but in general they are considered a bit on their own, they won't care about you. Just like it happens in big cities like NYC. Usually, people get offended cause of misunderstandings, but it's not like every little thing can offend us. For example, if you call me "as***" i'd be offended cause i don't even know you. If you are a friend and call me so, i wouldn't be offended cause it's a joke.
And no, we don't touch it so often xD There are rude people that do it but it's considered impolite and gross.

@all Ok italy could be romantic, but it's a subjective thing. I don't think it is so romantic. Love and romanticism are everywhere.

@Remus i don't want to talk about this here. I only can say that the bad reputation of some people caused a damage to all the immigrates in italy. And if immigrates were well accepted before, now there are some difficulties. Anyway, if you come here you won't get hurt if you won't do anything bad.

My associations with Italy are beautiful architecture, people of Renaissance like da Vinci, delicious food and sunshine... 001_smile
