    You do realize 17-20 is the peak in terms of female beauty? Any man who says he wouldn't sleep with a girl that age is lieing or gay

    Yup, 17-22 would be the peak indeed, but I would believe many men if they said they wouldn't go that young. You can admire a young woman's looks but realise it would be icky to sleep with her.

    Even rich, famous men rarely go quite that young, except if they are close to that age themselves. And they'd have plenty of choice.

    If I was rich and famous I'd have no such qualms.

    But enough about me, back to the legend that is Silvio!

    If he was Irish there'd be bitching and moaning about how corrupt he is.

    Exactly! It's strangely patronising: "Ah, those daft Italians!"

    Wow. He was never "convicted" of "child prostitution" as you claimed. He was acquitted in March 2015 by high court! .

    He was convicted, on that charge, and was acquitted later. With the fact that Berlusconi has no political influence or contacts, I'm sure his acquittal was entirely above board and he's completely innocent.

    You jealous or something? He living the Italian dream, fair play to him.

    Can you detail precisely how the things I mentioned (e.g. not allowing a long-term comatose woman to die as he believed she could still have children, monopolising media, various racist and sexist remarks) are elements of "the Italian dream?"

    I'm 41. I don't think 17-20 is the peak of female beauty at all. In fact, I didn't even know there was such a thing. I would think it a bit inappropriate for someone my age to desire to sleep with 17-20 year olds. My friends of my age, even those who sleep around, don't pursue girls of that age, it would seem a bit..predatory and desperate. Far from being a dream, it seems rather depressing and tawdry to me.

    Is it? They look - and sound! - like kids to me. Pretty kids to be sure, but kids. On the other hand I'm finding chungwans of around 35-40 mighty fiiine young thangs these days. I suppose that's the Middle-Aged Ghey. :D

    And Berlusconi could be said to be living the (male) Italian dream inasmuch as he acts like an irresponsible, narcissistic spoilt brat. But that would be stereotyping. :D

    That is not a bad thing. I don't think Ireland would have been crucified if you had a man like Berlusconi in charge?

    Wtf.... It would have been like a mix between Denis O'Brien, Sean Fitzpatrick and a sleazy paedo ruling the country!!!

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Speak for yourself...the only time I was interested in 17 year old girls was when I was around the same age as them.

    Hook any red blooded straight male up to a lie detector machine, and ask him would he be attracted to a beautiful 17-22 yo woman... guarantee you that machine will either blow up or catch on fire within a few hours!! :pac:

    He's probably my favourite corrupt, sleazy, racist, sexist former Italian Prime Minister who's fond of sex with underage girls.

    Jaysus sure isn't he some boyo, hah!?

    what under age girls? The girl he was in court for was over the age of consent. The law related to the minimum age for prostitution which is different .
    And he was acquitted.
    so stop making stuff up.


    I like him in parts. He upsets the righteous and worthy. I'd imagine his existence upsets SJW .
    But I'd hate him to rule here though..

    I already did. Pretty much every man wants to be an alpha male like Berlusconi. Some are just more honest about it.

    My mistake. Underage prostitution is fine.

    You didn't at all. Could you even just do one, like the comatose woman?
    Or the whole entering politics only to clear yourself of criminal charges, and convincing gullible people that he's a cheeky rogue rather than a calculating criminal?

    Could not agree more. I know so many ducklings who are now beautiful swans. Many people really do get better with age.

    He is many things, but a clown he is not. A well educated man who built a massive media empire.

    I think the reason so many people latch on to his 'personality' is because he is completely non conformist or non PC.

    Such hypocrisy though. The very same people would lose their sh1t if he was African/Muslim, and deem him a thug and misogynist. Suddenly being non PC wouldn't be acceptable.

    He's a jerk, whatever colour/ethnicity he happens to be. People know his behaviour is unacceptable for a country's leader - they're just trying to look bad-ass.

    Surely bench-marking a European leader against an African one would be forlorn no?

    I'm not disputing the man is sleazy, what Italian man isn't, but there is a certain hypocrisy in other Europeans slamming him when their own leaders are just as sleazy. They might not be as overt as him but they are just as sleazy.

    I don't know if other European leaders are as sleazy. Is Cameron? Kenny? Merkel? Dopes would say yes, but we all know that's not true.

    It's not so much that that I'm talking about anyway - I'm referring more to the fratboy nonsense about him being a legend and because he's non PC. Those saying such stuff would express disgust at a non western (or Irish) leader behaving like Berlusconi. Corruption and sleaze is unacceptable no matter who the person is.

    Jackie Healy Rae had a similar rainbow comb over to Silvio as well as a similar nod and wink culture and nobody batted an eyelid. It's easy to cast judgement from afar but when you take a look closer t home you realise we aren't all that different.
