Italy or France?

wendell borton

If you were propositioned by a deranged criminal mastermind, who is about to launch a weapon of mass destruction, what your least favoured country is what would your answer be?

Neither of those, anyway.

Is Fianna Fáil a country? Other than that the Vatican.

Mr.Prodston

Scorpio!!

Huh?

Mr Benevolent

There is no better feeling then punching a Frenchman. But evaporating France? A masterstroke.

Are you asking which would I destroy or which would I not destroy?

Yakult

France of course. Terrible accents and terrible food.

TheBza

America

Lucena

Italy.

Living and working in France, great job, great food.


Not at all veiled "I've got a job while half of Ireland is on the dole".

Terrible food???

What about fondue? It's a big pile of cheese melted with white wine in it. What's not to love?

No idea what this is about but Armenia, for the record

France gave us the wine, the champagne and Paris. Italians gave us pizza and the mafia..
I like pizza.

Ah no. Not France and Italy
Spain no bother, but not France or Italy. They're the best.

The Backwards Man

Which one do they all talk all foreign in? I pick that one.

I love foreigners, but I hate when they talk all foreign.

Yeah, tax is bad.

Maybe you should go to a country where no-one pays tax, I hear Somalia is nice at this time of year.

God that was like sophie's choice.
i was hovering over both before i eventually decided to gas France.

Only property tax is bad. Pay the govt to let you live in your house, next you'll have to pay them each time you pull your own knob. If you're going to a tax haven you might as well go for a nice one. Cayman islands or some place, hang out with the boys who run Apple and Google

More corrupt than Ireland though? You could end up paying your abolished property taxes to the Camorra instead.

In fairness considering their incompetence they were more of a help to the Allies than they were to the Axis powers.

Better than paying it to the crowd here. Im sure the camorra do more work to earn their money. I'd rather hand the money to a risk taking criminal with a dash of lunacy about him than some dull braindead Irish career politician from a dynasty who just wants to buy another new Ford Mondeo next year and implement the latest serving of bureaucratic slop eminating from the EU

having been all over both countries countless times i'd choose Italy without a doubt. The French people are great once you get to know them . They play up to being assholes because they know they have an international reputation for it and they are very funny people. Character wise they're surprising similar to the Irish. I'd go so far as to say their sense of humour is more closer to the irish that the English to the irish. The Italians on the other hand are annoying and vain and as thick as bricks. They are useless at picking up foreign languages and are culturally ignorant and Italian food within Italy is brutal. Also French women are classy while Italian women are trashy. Annecy my favourite place in the world is also in France to and I couldn't cope with that place being reduced to ash!

Leave The Alps alone and blast away everything around them.

It sounds like an opinion generated solely from watching jersey shore pseudo-Italians. Real life ones I met were salt of the earth

dd972

The Italians have given us Chippers and Dubliners with names like Antonio Mazzerini, so they edge it for me.

whichever one makes the best hammocks would be spared.

I've been to,in no particular order: Rome,florence,Venice,Verona,Pisa,milan,turin, torino and the small seaside town of Alassio.ive worked with many Italians some salt of the earth some not.obviously mine is a sweeping generalization but I have found it true of those italians living in italy. The italians themselves I've worked with told me this prior to me going the cities I listed above on visits with them. I had a completley different view of them befire hand but I had only met international jet setter types up until then. The average Italian is very insular.

The french on the other hand blew my mind.I had only been to Paris previously and came across the usual snooty,not wanting to speak English french. Then when I actually went around France with some French folk I worked with I ran into lots of people who wouln't speak French with me because they wanted to practice their English!

BOHtox

cheese eating surrender monkeys!

Faith+1

My bike frame broke in half a few years back and when I seen where it was made it said France. Not surprising really, it wasn't going to put up any f*cking resistance!

True Annecy is a stunning spot no doubt

The Italians make Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Zondas and Pizzas. Plus I've been to France but have yet to go to Italy, so you can't go blowing it up just yet.

Italy is just like the perfect country though.

That would be a really bastard criminal mastermind, I'd be two worlds about it.
Would pasta still be possible if Italy went?
