      Italy isn’t Europe’s joke country though. Italians are just minding their own business out there in the Mediterranean not really bothering anyone else.

      Everyone will trash talk France though. And the French will trash talk Parisians.

        And we Americans trash talk France. I don’t know why though, they’ve been nothing but helpful, what with the Revolutionary War and the Louisiana purchase.

          They were real dicks in the late 20th century though, including engaging in state-sponsored terrorism. Their inclusion in the European Union was a real sticking point for a while because of that.

      European here, no no no. Italians are awesome. Very friendly and cool people full of smile and elegance. If you want Europeans trash talk Italians you have to ask southern Italian about northern Italians or vica versa. :D
