So you want to be a seismologist

Hey, you know... Since Italy is such a backwards "First World Nation" I'm curious, would they have acquitted O.J.? Terrible verdicts happen all the time, in places around the world.

Is it terrible? Yes.
Does that mean that Italy is somehow "backwards"? No. I'm sure with enough time I could research and find terrible verdicts handed down by courts throughout the US and Europe.

Now, if the Appeals Court upholds the verdict, I'll be a little worried, but still not calling Italy "some backwards wannabe first world country"

In Ashocks defense (who knew this would happen). Italy is backward, yes they all have the newest car and the newest mobile phone, but they are backward. I Know because I am in Italy really a lot.

Of course when I discuss about these things I always compare Italy to the US (which is probably not what Ashock intended when he started this thread).
But the only first world western countries where you here things similar in craziness is the US. (and countries like greece, spain and portugal of course).

Class justice, a political scene entirely dominated by the rich, who use it to get richer etc. sadly the rest of the world seems to be following.
