love italy rome is amazing just hd to respond to alex_porc and unfortunately a whole slew of heros jumped in to save him. point is italy is beautiful rome alone has so much history i spent a week there and saw a fraction of what they have highlights the rostrum where marc antony swung the crowd against brutus still stands and i saw acrypt made entirely of monk bones
Why is FIDE controlled by Third World Crackpots?

Well, jebcc we will see if you accomplish 2% of what either Giulani or Scalia accomplished. To disparage those people is just childish idiocy.
No kidding? And here I thought Scalia's support for Citizen's United was just childish idiocy
Dood I totally agree netzach the anti-american post my Mr. Alex_Porc the italian who shares that nationality with the likes of Antonin "Nino" Scalia and Rudy "Giuliani Time" Giuliani and John "The Teflon Don" Gotti is way out of bounds I join you in condeming that racist and hateful post thanks
Look I read many of your posts, and I couldn't understand why Fide was associated with Italy, till the moment you mentioned Alex_Porc, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems you don't know your flags, to me his flag seems Iranian, not Italian. Maybe the guy is afraid that his country will enter a perpetual civil war, with million of civilians dead, once US and Israel find an excuse to attack. Still it has nothing to do with Fide, but maybe that is the explanation.
