I wish I was Italian... just like every non-Italian so wishes it...

This is the thread where we shall list the merits of Italy and Italians and bemoan our fate as non-Italians... and behold should an Italian visit this thread, we will be truly blessed...

I really wish I was Italian... :(

Not to be stereotypical, but the three groups of people most compatible in the world are:

Italians
Puerto Ricans
Koreans.

Why, you ask? Food. These are three groups of people who take their cooking and love of good food very seriously. A fiery-tempered italian and a loud-mouthed puerto rican can be in love forever. If one can cook and the other loves to eat. :)

I dare anything!

Well, almost anything...

...unless it's a triple dog dare.

I guess I am an anomaly, a French/Anglo-Saxon/German who does not wish to be Italian. I know some Italians to be sure, and I would rather not be Italian, I found France more interesting during my travels to Europe, though Italy is ahead of Spain and Germany for me. I wish I was Polish perhaps, or more French. Though I must say I prefer Northern Italy to the South, which is not something you say around someone from the South apparently.

Polish? Why would you want to be Polish?

Unless of course you want to suffer... Because it seems like every generation of Poles suffered...

For my money, the best fighters in Europe, even without their homeland.

I'm not directly Italian but am blessed with Italian heritage. I wish I was more Italian than I am becoz they are the greatest people who ever lived in all history.

Food
History
Latin!
Rome

So in conclusion Italians rock, (anything Spanish is good too)

Um... I'd disagree... but I don't want to get into an arguement over this.

Well, a lot of my Polish respect comes from their tenacity in WW2, when their homeland was occupied, much like my respect for the Belgians in the Great War. Forget a Division of French or Germans, if I have to go to war, I want Belgians, Poles, Czechs, and Finns with me. (And no, this has nothing to do with current politics, so no one try to say that).

but think about it, while the Poles had tenacity in WW2 they still lost and got invaded and in the end their tenacity came to not because the Germans were just so very much better and more advanced

And with that...

CUBA LIBRE! CUBA LIBRE!

But then again Russians are good at boxing too... and so are the Uzbekistanis.

I am from an Italian descent, for my grandfather was born in Italy and immigrated here when he was six.

By 'here' i mean U.S.A.

To bad, sucker. I am half Italian. Half of that is from Sicily, a quarter from Central Italy, and the other quarter from the Valle d'Aosta.

Well, I was referring to Poles like the ones in the BoB (3% of the pilots, 15% of the kills), the 1st Polish Armoured, the II Polish Corps, the 1st Polish Airborne Brigade, the Home Army Rising.
