This won't sit well with Italians, period; forget about the Vatican. The EU has announced a coming ban on returns of merchandise to shops. Not going down well in England. The EU has not passed the temporary and experimental phase, and the EU Parliament and the EU courts really seem to be doing their best to see that it does not. In a democratic society, merchandise returns are private affairs, between the merchant and the consumer. ---Tell me Europe isn't communist!

Vampires and other satanic beings have always hated the crucifix.

These European countries need to take back their autonomy and stop allowing these socialist one-world order control-freaks from destroying their cultures and freedoms.

I say this for all the European countries...dump the EU. Dismantle the UN. Go back to being individual countries with your own cultures and flavors. Nobody really wants to be just a "European" -- except the radical lefties who have self-hatred anyway.

When you make deals with the devil, you're always the junior partner until your services are no longer needed and you're dumped dead. Europeans (for the majority part) will trade anything for their great social services (cradle to grave and all that jazz). The Vatican's not going to win this one; it's too late.

How many Muslim footbaths and prayer rooms are in airports in Europe?

While I'd love to say, 'F.U.,E.U.', we're told to pray for our persecutors...

So "Bless you, o gloriously sophisticated and supremely tolerant European dudes."
