Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?

Might be interesting to note that right after the conversation about being picked up by stranger earlier tonight someone got close to me with his car yelling "heeey cutie where ya going!?", I stocked him a murderous glare, he ran away angry.
Later on while with my gal friends a couple of guys on their scooter thought it was fun to run in circles around us screaming to scare us.
The world might not be made of only people like that, but that's enough for me to keep my position on the matter.
Question...
Is it just a stereotype that all Italian guys are douchebags? When I was in Rome some guys were joking (or what we shrugged off as joking) to me and a friend that it's a tradition to have sex in the Vatican. We've always wondered if they were hitting on us and being super sleazy or if it was a joke. You should read "Daisy Miller" by Henry James.
Hmmm...Maybe I should. Maybe I should. What's the gist in reference to this?

Most likely they were hitting on you: "if it goes well we can get some, if not we were just joking and weren't doing anything bad."
Something like that.
Hmmm...There were also some guys from Naples that kept nagging us about getting drinks with them even though we couldn't leave our group. We met them outside while having a cigarette, and I swear they followed us all over the hotel every time they spotted us! It was so annoying!
What part of Italy do you live in?

They both address what you're talking about, while at the same time showing the contrast between the Italian people and American. However, "Daisy Miller" is also based on Naturalism. If anything, it's an interesting read.

Naples. Men are annoying, they insist, doesn't matter if you say no, they just think you're being "a precious" as the saying goes here, a girl that acts uninterested just to kept on being courted longer.

Interesting...IDK. I was taken aback by how abrasive and forward the men were in both instances.
I think the nicest men I've met abroad (excluding Germany) have been from the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, and Scotland.
EDIT: Off topic, but Florence is AMAZING!

Girl not interested? She obviously wants you. Simple fact of life.

I think some guys just like to play the odds. if 1/35 girls doesn't walk away and ignore you then you're still successful that one time. Sleeze around enough and you can make that work out to be quite productive over time.

Nah, i'm not fond of that method. I was never fond of that method, it's too easy. I prefer to be classy, witty and use my understanding of the human psyche. Oh manipulative word play helps too, but you learn that with time.
Edit: Ignore Zah's rhyming I'm only 23, not nearly as ancient as she is.

Oi Sagi, during my recent searches in my family lineage I found a relative who came from Scotland.
I feel like my love of the pipes has been explained.

Captain's log, Earth Date 32212 - We have passed the 69 hour mark. If the stories we've heard from passing travelers are to be held as true, then we are only a few hours away from complete purging of all Nicotine from the ship's systems. The crew is in good spirits, morale is currently at an all time high. Our journey is nearly over, with the destination just around the corner the crew has been filled with sense of rejuvenation and hope.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
