Offensive Italians at the Oktoberfest
What's the solution?
Storm in a d-cup...
None! Strange how it's always the same gender causing problems though.
*stirs pot*
EDIT: now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been groped by a Japanese tourist.

*snap* I was thinking Asians as well.
Obviously you've never been to the Wiesn with Arshoo.

We're probably a bit too old for them

He doesn't count, he's a bastard.*hides from the Welsh wrath*
I would actually go as far as having a zero tollerance policy for all italians. Time and time again, this year not any different, the weisn is horded by loads of italians and in most cases the result is always the same. Pretend to be drunk, fall over on some unsuspecting girl nearby, followed by screaming insults and allot of bad taste in the mouth for all who are there tring to have a nice time.
I say start enforcing some sort of ban on italian groups, or put them in their own area where they cant offend or harrass anyone. If they want to drink fine, but then there shouldnt be a problem if they do so alone right? Without risk of harrassing the general population. As time goes by, and by italians standards that would alllot of time, they will learn how behave like almost civilized people. The line must be drawn somewhere.
Just a suggestion.
Oh and just a reminder, this weekend is the italian week-end at the fest, so be carefull people.
i'm really speechless to see how far you can actually go with your distorted mind.I say start enforcing some sort of ban on italian groups, or put them in their own area where they cant offend or harrass anyone.

for the same reason, i'm from Monza - italy - we should ban all germans coming for the GP that waste the beautiful park and are drunk at night... if they want to drink, they should do it home in front of the TV. Or in Ibiza where all english at night are drunk... why let them drink there??? let's send them back in manchester or liverpool or london and let them drink and fight there!!!
i'm really disappointed to see someone saying this stuff.. it's so obvious to me that beahviour does not depend from the gender, race or nationality, it only has to do with education, common sense, respect and alcoholic tolerance. If some people does not have it, you can't blame them all !!!

I think you'll find that the people who are saying that Italians at the Wiesn are a problem, such as myself, are of the firm opinion that the vast majority have no common sense and no respect. As for education and alcohol tolerance, I would guess that amongst these individuals both are sorely lacking. My personal feeling is what of course not all Italians are a problem, I've shared tables with many over the years and had a great time. However, the majority in my opinion are. Perhaps it's the "vocal minority", but they certainly give the rest a very bad name. Perhaps similarly I have English friends here who really didn't want and England games to be played in Munich because the idea of the "England fans" coming to town was not in any way appealing. Everyone knows that it is a relative minority causing the trouble but it is VERY noticeable and definitely a problem.

In general I think it's dangerous to blame one group completely however there are differences in culture. A walk down pretty well any British town center at 11PM on a Saturday night shows you our 'drink culture'. Are all Brits like that? I think not. Could it be there is a culture of that sort of behaviour with lads coming up from Italy? Some follow the crowd because of peer pressure?

i agree with you 100%.. especially with the bad naming thing... and this forum is yet another demonstration on how CERTAIN italians are... but i believe each single country in the world have their own 'stupid' and unrespectful people.. english might have hooligans (but not only them), Germany & Russians might have nazi's...In general I think it's dangerous to blame one group completely however there are differences in culture.

Ok, but difference in cultures have nothing to do with harassing women!!!The way we are 'painted' in this thread sound like in italy harassing is the way to socialize with women, while it's not!!!
It has more to do with peer pressure, and the fact that UNFORTUNATELY for 90% of italians being outside italy equals "here there are no rules and regulation to respect"...
But we are talking about young & ignorant people for the most.

Who quite likely represent the majority of Italians who travel up for Oktoberfest. Hence the validity of remarks stating that Italians at Oktoberfest represent a problem.

True. I never condemned such remark - unfortunately i know my fellow citizens way more than you do.
But from here to have a ban to all italians coming to Oktoberfest, the distance is quite noticeable

I'm pretty sure on Toytown Ibiza there are a bunch of locals whinging like fuck about the drunken "english" and wishing they'd all piss of home. Like keydeck I hate the Italians when they're here. Some might think thats rascist, sorry its just old and jaded on my part of 17 years fest. I have had friends gropped pinched fondeled, heads in breasts and god knows what with in full view of me and their boyfriends. But its a bunch of lads on the piss, on holiday often the first time away from "mama" and treating every girl in a dirndl as a bitch on heat gagging for some italian, as, and I quote, only an Italians can show a woman a good time. (Yep mate but your to pissed to get it up was the reply I think) Thats life.
The only redeeming factor about "zee italaians" is that they couldn't pace themselves to save their arses. Lots of free tables in the afternoon because 8 sleeping Italians do not a profit make, and yuo can easily get them kicked off by the staff.
