Silly us. We should probably learn to make decent prosciutto di parma instead of blowing the whistle on these corruption practices so innate to the Mediterranean cultures. After all, that seems to be what really counts in the EU.

Yes, one up on the Italians. . Thats payback for the comments about finnish food.

Just curious: How come no one covered the elevator cartel news at all in this blog? Nothing to say about it or did everyone just miss the story?

*hush*

Aboy, Jesus Christ said: “Qui sine peccato est vestrum primus lapidem mittat”. Roughly translating, if Finns are without sin let them throw the first stone. And Finns cannot, as comment 4 shows.

Said this, I am very happy that those three italian politicians were caught and I hope they’ll pay as due, no matter of the nation of the entrepreneur that accused them.

By the way, reading the italian report it is possible to find the namesof the finnish entrepreneur, Arto Helin and that eventually he supposedly paid the bribe. If this is true he should go to jail as well, I believe…

Big news!!!!!
i am just started working on my new project PAAVO VÄYRYNEN SUPERHERO comic book i will inform you later more

Kone is an independent company. Companies can be corrupt. The point is that there’s very little corruption of government and its officials in Finland. The kind of corruption that is abundant and taken more or less granted in some other cultures. That’s why Finland is one of the least corrupted countries in the world.

Companies and entrepreneurs are corrupt everywhere but it’s the corruption of government officials that counts more in the everyday life of a person and on the international comparative statistics.

A priest shows to a lamdlord the list of the landlord’s superintendent cheatings.
-My dear father,- says the landlord.- I never had such a good superintendent. I know he is a pilfer, a cheater, a corrupted man, and he is robbing my money. But to become rich, he has to make me richer first, and this is exactly what he is doing. (From a Sicilian novel of Nobel Prize Luigi Pirandello)

your a communist idiot

Go grow some balls truth

These comments seem to discriminate against all Italians. Not all Italians are corrupt. This seems to be an ignorant Blog site

Jennifer,

IMHO, they are just voicing out their subjective opinions on this matter and not intentionally discrimaning against all Italians.

This is a free society where everyone can speak freely.
