    Cazzo is dick.

    Is used as an exclamation of anger, like..." Christ!"



    did you see that my shades are quite bright.
    We Italians are ashamed of the behavior of very Schellino.
    We have to endure the slaughter of tourist ships to Venice, Capri, Ischia, etc..
    Now to us the image of cowards ...
    Here is a bad time for politics and money, and we've met too Costa Cruises (24,000 employees) and their colleagues.
    I think that in Venice, next week, we go with the gondola.

    I for one would never take this as an indictment of Italy

    He is a man- not a nation.

    One story circulating says the ship has passed as close as 185 metres so the head waiter could wave to a friend. Gets sillier by the minute.

    exactamente. He dishonors Italian manhood, and the Italian men don't deserve it. Yet they are ashamed for him and because of him. My sympathies Signores.

    No.
    not. in this case is not an insult to Schettino.
    Is just an exclamation ... could be "****", but is generally **** is an exclamation of termination, not anger.

    Have you understood or not? CAZZO!!!: D

    Costa Serena is the sister of Concordia.
    My parents made a cruise with Serena.
    My mom, back after a week still felt the bed jump.
    Watch the video of the pool and you will understand what is the security level of these bins.

    What connections did this Captain have at the Costa Crociere and Carnival Corporation board that they kept him in charge dispite his track record . . . :confused:

    What did he do for them . . . ? ?

    Such reckless behavior is often seen secondary to other criminal activities of those who consider themselves untouchable.

    Did this ship have an hidden agenda/cargo, maybe cocaine or worse . . . ? ?

    If so, then the powers that kept the Captain in charge will arrange some mistakes at the salvage operation, maybe some wrong blown holes or wrong pumped tanks, that will change ship's stability and make her slide along the slope and go into the abyss . . . . :eek:

    Then those powers will arrange she can stay there because she isn't a problem anymore, that's cheaper and as a bonus the evidence will be lost, I think the Mob can arrange that . . . :idea:

    I can't imagine the Mob isn't in cruising business, especially because of the transportation possibilities . . . :rolleyes:

    Did I see too many movies . . . . . ?
