Berlusconi: Liking girls better than being gay

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has dismissed calls to resign over reports he helped a teenage girl who attended parties at his house, saying it was 'better to like beautiful girls than to be gay'.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has dismissed calls to resign over reports he helped a 17-year-old girl who attended parties at his house, saying it was 'better to like beautiful girls than to be gay'.

He refused to apologise for his fondness for young women and denied doing anything improper, after the case of the girl known as Ruby filled Italian newspapers last week and opposition lawmakers called for him to resign.

'As always, I work without interruption and if occasionally I happen to look a beautiful girl in the face, it's better to like beautiful girls than to be gay,' he told a meeting at a motorcycle industry show in Milan.

1. Berlusconi should be bullied, harassed, and driven to suicide...

People like him are the reason so many LGBT teenagers are driven to such desperation.

2. Says the President of Italy! Ha ha!

I've been having a field day picking on my boyfriend for his President being an ass hat in retaliation for him constantly teasing me about a 'tea-public knock out'.

Him no going to likey this being said! :rofl: He cannot stand homophobic assholes.

3. Helped her what?

I suppose that's true of any straight man, but why does he bring it up? It does not sound like being gay was even an issue.

4. crikey, "Don't look there , over here! *dog whistles* nt

5. I, for one would like to thank Silvio Berlusconi for liking girls, rather being gay!

:P

I've seen him naked, and I happen to know my guys aren't missing much.

[cbdo2007]

6. There's nothing wrong with that statement. He's just saying he isnt gay.

I'm a straight guy and I feel the same way. I would rather look at a beautiful girl than be gay. I would imagine all straight men feel this way.

[originalpckelly]

7. No, he's say it's better to be straight than to be gay,

The only thing wrong with being gay is ignorant bigots.

[soleft]

8. So you're better than all the gay men who don't like girls?

Cause - it's better. That's what you're agreeing with.

[bullwinkle428]

9. You state that like it's a choice issue. So when did you decide

to be straight?

[AspenRose]

13. He could have just said "I like looking at beautiful women," and that's it

Why did he have to mention anything about being gay? What does that have to do with liking beautiful women? They're not related.

[Bluebear]

20. You missed class the day they discussed what "better" means. Do bone up on your vocabulary.

[gratuitous]

10. Thank you, Silvio, for your opinion

I'm sure you would like all the girls you know and to whom you are related to hook up with gay men, right? I mean, isn't that lifetime of mutual misery better than being true to one's nature, just because some self-righteous asshole thinks he can dictate his own orientation to the rest of humanity?

Go take a long walk off a short pier above shark-infested waters, you fuck.

[AspenRose]

12. Ugh, why is he in power again? He's slime.

:puke:

[ismnotwasm]

14. And he would know this....how?

Does he look beautiful boys in the face as well?

What an asshole.

[Renew Deal]

15. What did he help her with?

What does that mean?

[damntexdem]

16. So pedophilia is better than consensual homosexuality?

Gee, Berlusconi, why don't you just run for pope?

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

17. He probably will

...as soon as he figures out how to buy the Catholic Church.

[Codeine]

18. Looking at 17 year olds ain't exactly pedophilia. nt

[kenny blankenship]

19. Tattaglia is a pimp

I mean, BERLUSCONI is a pimp. What the old, Fascist member of P2 is actually saying, within the context of the criticisms lodged against him, is that Sure, sure he may be inducing 17 year old girls to prostitute themselves to him, a 70 year old married man, and his wealthy cronies, but at least he isn't gay. Being a criminal, soliciting young girls, being a pimp and procurer, is less blameworthy than being a homosexual. So he thinks, and so he thinks Italy thinks, and Italy tends to think what Berlusconi thinks, because he controls 90% of the electronic media there.

Everyone should watch the documentary Videocracy to get the background - a partial background, but good enough.
