Hey, could someone throw another brick at this guy? I don't approve of brick-throwing at people, but I make exceptions for anyone who endorses human trafficking providing the said trafficked humans are beautiful girls. From: ginger_maya

He got his teeth bashed in with a plaster statue, but apparently that didn't manage to make him into a decent human being. From: damanique

Right, a plaster statue, not a brick. Close enough.



I doubt anything could make Berlusconi a decent human being. But physically damaging him for being a sexist, misogynist, narcissistic bastard who always gets away with saying stupid shit would give *me* some satisfaction. From: ginger_maya

I cheered when I saw a photo of his bruised, bloody mug after he got beat up. Not very nice of me, but people who endorse abuse and exploitation are lower than rats in my book and completely undeserving of compassion. From: sexyhorny

I think he's an ass but I'm against physical punishment, violence and beating people up. If you beat up one person you dislike and it's OK, then you can beat up someone else who you dislike at your discretion and that would be OK then too. Basically violence doesn't solve anything but makes it even worse. I'd rather punish him in a manner not involving physical violence: like demoting him from his post, a huge fine, community service.

The hell? How does someone like that become the leader of a country? Who would vote for him? From: crvcifix

I'm more worried about the fact that this man got elected. I am disgusted by men like this, but it doesn't surprise me. They exist. The fact that enough people approved of this man, or at least enough people in his party approved of him, for him to get elected? Ick. From: crvcifix

What's up with the media referring to this and his other actions as "gaffes"? Kennedy telling Berlin that he is a jelly donut is a gaffe. "Misunderdestimate" is a gaffe. Berlusconi's comments are quite deliberate and, taken with his other statements, reveal a deep-seated misogyny that the media shouldn't try to excuse. From: mmm_carbon

Oh, but it's so uncool to get all worked up about displays of misogyny--doncha know that's what makes people think you're a feminist?



In other words, you're dead right. Media = status quo love, esp. for anything relating to women. From: macabremadness

2010-02-13 11:22 pm (UTC)

That's pretty sick. The terrifying things that women go through when being trafficked is unimaginable, I can't believe it would be deemed OK if they're pretty. From: ozma_katiebell

Ew, what a douche bag. That article just gave me a really bad vibe. Ugh, ugh, ugh!

Disgusting.

He's a very sick man to think those women / young girls (lets face it there is children in there too) ENJOY being used for sex. From: maynardsong

I wish Secretary of State (OMG I love saying that) Clinton would rip him a new one for that comment. God, that would be awesome. But alas, I don't see it happening. From: rose_kolodny

Italy has a lot of ingrained sexism and corruption. Berlusconi has already served time for corruption, but the public were still prepared to elect him. From: viiltohaava

I'm normally not one for condoning punching someone but this guy has it coming. From: linasfyre

2010-02-16 04:22 pm (UTC)

ugh...human trafficking, let alone woman trafficking.

Disgusting.

NOT NORMAL. The people who think its OKAY to do this, should be lynched.



I watched a documentary about the sex slave trade.

Business is booming apparently

and its depressing as hell.
