    uh, dunno if people have noticed but the Mediterranean is kind of goin through some shit right now. Also Italy has a pretty notable history of bombings and assassinations

    But also what the other person said, dude is american. I’m so sick of my family members talking like sopranos characters because our grandparents were actual Italians. Plus they 100% definitely didn’t say gabbagool and proshoot before like 2003

        Yeah but they’re saying their family didn’t start pronouncing it that way until they saw the Sopranos and think it makes them special.

      Yes, we know he’s an American citizen, calm down please. So was Al Capone BTW, who certainly worked a lot harder to deserve a terrorism charge, but they ended up nailing him on tax evasion. So perhaps it’s really the definition of terrorism that changed. I think you’re taking the joke a little too serious.

      As for your family members, I’m afraid I can’t help you with that.
