mike777 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 What makes the Ak and the Monster of Florence cases and others so interesting is the suggestion that the citizens of Italy are losing faith in the major institutions that make up Italy. that in our lifetimes Italy may break up into smaller city/states. The discussion that this may be a positive. Losing faith in the justice institution is just one factor. Losing faith in the Italy version of the IRS is another. Losing faith that the executive and legislature can succeed. to focus on a light fixture means you lose focus on the big picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm not sure why people are making jokes here, is it funny that her throat was slit open or that her roommate&BF tried to cover it up? Aren't there enough comedy threads available in the water cooler? I have thought a bit about this. My thoughts: I don't know anything at all about the Italian legal system. I don't know much about the American system but from the little experience I have had with it, it is clearly best to avoid it. I had to look up who Amanda Knox was. Of course I don't think it's funny that someone got her throat slit, I don't think any of the many violent deaths that occur every day are funny, Somehow this has captured people's interest, it hasn't captured mine, I find it bizarre that people are voting on whether or not she is guilty, This thread is not for me, it is for others, and I am happy to withdraw any comment that I have made, no offense was intended, and I will just stay out of it. Of all the comments so far, those of mikeh come closest to my views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
