( Read more... )
three left now and then it’s just the thesis (which hopefully will make me enthusiastic again about this whole school deal because right now I’m just burned out)
So once you get the Masters, are you going to go for the doctorate too, or is it too soon to ask? (Also, I'm really curious as to what your thesis will be about. Feel free to PM or e-mail.)
we might vote again this year! And I can bet you money I won’t like the result, since my last illusions that people vote with their heads in this country has been totally shattered.
Oh, bb, come to America, where people never, EVER vote with their heads. For me, that illusion was shattered before I was even old enough to vote. What's going on over there? The major news coming out of Italy over the past month or so has been about the new Pope. I haven't heard the "B" word in the news for some time now . . .
Anyway, welcome to the only country in the world where you stay in charge even if you lose the elections
LOL, you. Over here you "win" the Presidential election even if you've technically lost. Or win the re-election, even though you've displayed blatant idiocy several times. *cough*
B. wants to be President of the Republic.
The next Julius Caesar? Nah, Berlusconi is much more suited to be the next Caligula, don'tcha think? Or perhaps the next Emperor Palpatine. XD
But seriously, how on earth is he still eligible to run for ANYTHING? Shouldn't he be in prison by now?

If I'm going for the doctorate is definitely not going to be where I am now - I'm so thoroughly sick of my specific uni and its office and almost everything else, I can't take the idea of another two years in there X_X I was planning to see if I could find some sort of decent job and if I can't I was going to try for a doctorate elsewhere. possibly also not in Italy xDD (Also it's not exactly defined, but it should be about the influence of some specific Latin poets on Kant's philosophy :D I'll be happy to give details when I actually straightened it out! :D)
I think I still was holding to some tendril of illusion when I voted first, but after the FOURTH time people actually voted for B. (this time he came in second, but he was starting from NO FUCKING VOTES, so..) I think it's gone altogether. Also the Pope is a lot better than our politics - TALKS THE RESIDENT ATHEIST. anyway, have a run-down ;) So:
a) the current government is the one they put in place after B. was forced to resign in 2011 - it wasn't voted and it's very right wing and their current policy is LET'S JUST CUT WAGES FOR EVERYONE EXCEPT RICH PEOPLE. The guy at the head ran in the election - he lost pretty badly.
b) The left-ish party that I voted for won, but the margin wasn't large enough at the Senate. The second party is B.'s. The third is.. well, a bunch of people led by a former comedian (srsly) whose only slogan is ALL POLITICIANS ARE BAD AND DISGUSTING YOU HAVE TO GO HOMEEEE NOW. And they want to be at the government because while they came third they're the only ones not in a coalition, so even if they have some parts of the program in common with the left-ish party they won't support it, so basically there's no majority.
c) We can't even do the new elections because the current president of the Republic can't do anything as his term is over like next month.
Conclusion: after the left-ish party candidate failed to find a majority, the president of the Republic - who's pretty much the only person in power right now who can do something went and said good, you keep the old government led by the dude who lost the elections and meanwhile a handful of people working in two commissions is going to come up with a few urgent reforms and by the time they're done you'll all have settled enough to hopefully VOTE on said reforms and then my term will be over and it's going to be my successor's problem. oh, and we're probably vote in October, and since left-ish party came out of this badly and the idiots in the POLITICIANS GO AWAY party are... well, making people regret they voted them, I can bet you money that unless someone arrests/condemns B. in the last grade of ANY of his trials first, he's gonna win. There you go. D:
I'm starting to suspect that he IS Palpatine, tbqj. Also: in ANY other country in this planet he'd be in jail already. BUT, here in order to go to jail/being unable to run, you need to be condemned in the last grade of the trial. there are three. AND EVERY TIME UNTIL NOW HE'S MANAGED TO AVOID IT by either paying off judges or drawing it on so that it goes into prescription. :/ I swear I can't anymore.
