Protests over rubbish crisis in the Naples... - no comment

[LiverpoolSardinia]

RESPECT FOR TERZIGNO AND GIUGLIANO. NAPLES IS A CRIMINAL CITY. ONLY RUBBISH. SHAME ITALY.

I just can't understand why this is still a problem, all people who blame politicians, mafia and whatnot should remember that every population have the leaders they deserve, i have a suspicion that leftist sentiment among the people is to blame here, thus creating an environment for corruption and inefficiency to thrive.

@AtheistSweden I expected a smarter comment from a swedish atheist.

[AtheistSweden]

@ZorrisPorris Actually i think my comment is quite insightful; corruption and incompetence is very often the outcome of a centralized, bureaucratic and politicized environment; which is the case here, May i ask what explanation you have?

[megamarsvin]

@AtheistSweden Considering current conditions in the right wing deregulated countries of the world, the same can be said for them. Maybe corruption is just a part of human nature, not the result of any particular ideology.

Historically whatever political system is in charge people will rail against as corrupt and evil. Then when it gets replaced and "the good guys" are in charge, surprise surprise, turns out the new boss is no better than the old one.

[AtheistSweden]

@megamarsvin You are making the mistake of labeling corrupt third world countries as deregulated and "right wing" which is not true at all, take Africa for example; if anything, they suffer from bureaucracy and lack of both social and economic freedom, same with South America. My point is that corruption thrives in those kind of systems. Look at Heritage dot com's index / ranking of economic freedom among the world's countries and you will see what i am talking about.

[megamarsvin]

@AtheistSweden Unless you're counting the US as a third world country, I'd disagree. They have been deregulating industry and finance since the 70s and they're more corrupt than ever. So corrupt that when the whole thing finally collapsed in 2008 they rehired the same guys that scammed the public out of billions as consultants to "fix" the problems.

Now of course overbearing autocracy is also damaging, but this idea that so-called "economic freedom" brings prosperity is not true. Look at China.

[AtheistSweden]

@megamarsvin "Corruption is perceived as minimal. The U.S. ranks 19th out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index for 2009." This is from Heritage dot org, (not dot com as i wrote earlier) a frequently referenced and quoted index, clearly you have no clue of what you are talking about. Please educate yourself.

@AtheistSweden Yes, you right, in Naples there is a static leftist politic administration who don't do nothing about the problems of the town, and leaves open road to anarchy and crime.

@75TheFabriz How's your garbage going, Fabriz?

[ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

povera gente... tutto questo non e prima volta che succede a Napoli , e una questione di mafia che controla quasi tutto al Sud d'Italia....questta e la mia oppinione e io non sono Italiano e non vivo li, ma mi dispiace per questa povera gente...

[75TheFabriz]

@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT Io vivo nel resto del sud Italia che non è Napoli, e ti assicuro che problemi gravi di spazzatura come nella città partenopea, non ne abbiamo mai avuti.

@75TheFabriz

They can complain all they want. But they won't get power to decide about anything. That's democracy >:)

[alocuba]

LA BASURA HA CREADO UN CRISIS EN NAPOLES ALGUNOS ITALIANOS PROTESTAN DE MANERA PACIFICA Y LA POLICÍA DE LA MISMA MANERA INTENTA CONTROLAR LA SITUACIÓN, EN CUBA LA BASURA LLEGA AL CIELO Y LOS CUBANOS NO PUEDEN PROTESTAR SIN RECIBIR LA AGRESIÓN DE LAS AUTORIDADES

@jimlasalle And a lot of CO2
