Gluestick Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Bondage and Discipline: Submission and Domination: and finally Sado-Masochism.Meaning simply sad buggers who's psyche has been scrambled along the way into a morass of confused sexuality.Like, well, Max Mosley..........................On a brighter note.The Masochist said to the Sadist "Tie me up and whip me!"The Sadist said "Sure".And having tied up the Masochist, left.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah gluey been referring to that American Book published in 2003 that you have on your reference shelf. I am sure our mid-atlantic cousins understand you. Certainly felony has a common law pedigree and zilch to do with the Italian Legal system.Perhaps you were remembering the common law felony under the feudal sytem with confiscation of the perpetrators patrimony and leaving zero inheritance. In the usa a felony is a rather serious affair possibly resulting in the death penalty. I find it a tad over the top your implied sentencing of "il cavaliere" to death for inadvertently bonking an under age whore. I noticed in the 70s whilst working in the summer on the Costa Brava that most young ladies from the home counties were obsessed with how many times per week; I am sure that in the 4 month season one or two may have slipped under PPPs radar in the evening twilight. Good luck to Beure-lust-con-i.[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 The thrust of my post (despite the lighthearted interpretations, keep it lite folks) was not just the incredulity of the degree of corruption, but that these facts have been out there for some time; what does it say about Italy, a member of the EU receiving support funds from the rest of the EU (million on italian misspent-elton-john-concert.) , that the most high profile person can continue in this fashion; except that the whole political and judicial system must be corrupt (surprise not), and isn't it time that the EU should/could respond with censure?

Anyway, if you want philandering what about the quasi-sainted Kennedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Blimey, if "philandering" were to make a guy un-electable, where would we get our male politicians from?[Www] I agree, JJ, Berlusconi really does seem to have gone too far. What he does with his equipment in his spare time is his business. The corruption is a different matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whilst I concede that Mr Clinton did not own large parts of the media, his conduct (ie denials) might be construed as corruption. Which was presumably why he was nearly impeached.I would agree that the whole Italian thing is fairly unedifying though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Didn't we have some fat Tory slob of an MP years ago that used to shag women whilst wearing a Chelsea strip.
