Bonjour
you agree with Tabaricus but that does not make him right. Right? Not in my business! I can imagine that I and far from being convincing, but I sure haven't heard very good or unbiased arguments yet. To me it sounds like the old sore-looser sour-grapes syndrome or just envy to me.
In mafia Italy people kill for honor. Does that make it right? A person verbally offends another's sister and it is thus right for that man, a man of honor, to go physical, and, why not, kill the offender? Isn't that what all this honor crap is about? BLA BLA BLA. Be serious and honest. By the way I wasn't saying Zidane is disgusting. What I found disgusting was the press that lost an opporunity to nail this guy and take on and dismatle this honor culture crap.
Another thing: why should you not believe the rumor that Zidane's mother said the remark about Materazzi's testicles while you keep believing that Materazzi said something racist?
I do not intend to continue this arguement so you guys can go on writing what you please. I will not read this thread. Indeed this whole issue of equating physical reactions to insults is just baloney and profoundly stupid. There is a difference. If you don't get it at your age and in your daily culture then you never will. Hope sincerely hope you don't get yourself in trouble with the law and that I am not sitting in the jury.

p.s. to lighten up bit I read that some stupid german magazine writes that they should take the cup away from Italy. As it would be absurd to give it to France (after Zidane's unacceptable reaction) then what would they have to do? Why give it to Germany of course!
Or there is someone out there that thinks they should take it away from Italy and give it to France on the basis of this Zidane-Materazzi episode? My God how blind and low can people drop! But I will never know as I am not returning to this thread.
