I think we were getting sort the wrong idea. Too bad it wasn't a joke. You know, he does joke sometimes. Nietzsche's also a bastard sometimes. *shrugs*
I wouldn't have gotten "beaten" out of it. Is voul from "violate" or something. What's the infinitive?
You seem to have thought about your opinion on Nietzche. That's all one can ask. I still think that there are things to be learned from him, even if the writing is older and less controversial now.
Thanks for the position as ambassador, I'm very proud to accept it, although I could never aspire to be at Inara's level
As for the Nietzsche thing: he may have intended it sexually as in all women need a 'rod' but the old saying means literally (and figuratively)what I said. Obviously nowadays one should only try to say it to any italian woman...
Vuol (not voul) means vuole which is the present of the verb volere which means to want.
Vuol bastone = want stick
End of the lesson... I'm not so didactic usually...

Well damn, thank you. He probably meant it both ways since his views on women are sometimes contradictive. He may have meant for woment to be (sexually) beaten with a stick (if you get what I mean). You are now definitely the ambassador to Italy for us. Inara remains my all time favorite ambassador though.

Welcome to the boards! I believe you are definitely our first Italian national Browncoat.
As to 'vuol': I'm sure TheAbyss will get around to correcting the spelling in his sig, any moment now. Since he's already been politely clued in that the quote is an insult to any Italian-speaking women who might be participating in a forum with him, I'm sure he'll at least want to correctly spell the misogynistic slur...
As to 'vuol comes from volere, meaning, 'to want'': A friend of mine used to drive a Plymouth Volere.
What a piece of merda! I'd never vuol one of those, nor would I wish one on you...
Rispettosamente,
zoid
P.S.
I don't suppose you could fix me up with Monica Bellucci? Or, at least, with a bottle of water from her vasca da bagno? As I'm fond of saying, "La Bellucci is living proof that there is a God... that He is a man... and that He loves us very much."

I'm going to enjoy myself too much in here...
TheAbyss can leave the line as it is... now we all know what it was supposed to mean, screw Nietzsche...
The Plymouth is a 'volare' (which means flying)
and I don't understant a nail 'bout cars, so I trust your judgement... won't buy one anytime soon.
And if I knew Monica Bellucci... I'd have fixed myself up with her husband already! No that I stood a bit of a chance...

Yes, we have entirely too much fun here. This has been my home on the Internet, and my extended family for just over two years now. I feel safe to speak for everyone: Welcome home, sorella.
(NB: I presume, femmina, sì?)
I love it when people quote a favorite author in a foreign language, without actually knowing what the phrase means. It just sounds so much smarter, don't you agree? On the other hand, hasn't Nietzsche uttered any bon mots in Gaeilge that are sufficiently quotable? That way we can piss off Irish women, too. No sense in being selective, hmmm?
The 'Volere' was a 'pun' (definition: horrible joke), a play on the model name 'Volare', hence the '
'. Still, it is a fine example of pre-modern American automotive craftsmanship. A picture says a thousand words: http://tinyurl.com/oos9nAs to the undoubtedly troubled marriage of M. Bellucci and her husband, 'whatzhisname': Maybe we should collaborate on a scheme to show them how wrong they are for one another? I mean, sure, he's 'whatzhisname' and that's pretty good, but she's Monica-freakin'-Bellucci! Sooner or later, she's gonna come to her senses and leave poor 'whatz', forlorn and broken-hearted...
Which is when you pounce upon him. See? I'm an evil genius. Okay. So, leave out the 'genius', then...
Di cospirazione-ly,
zoid

Did I fix it right? My english messed with my mind so I put the o before the u. Sorry for not fixing it earlier. I had class and then I went to see a play. I apologize to any Italian speaking men/women I may have offended whilst it was wrong in my signature. Monica Bellucci...damn.....
Her or Salma Hayek.
Monica Bellucci, Salma Hayek, or Morena Baccarin. Although my chances are in the absolute negative side of the spectrum.

femmina, si
quote in other languages are great: not only they make you sound smarter but they usually start discussions, digressions, research, and all this makes all of us, partecipating to the diatribe, look more intelligent and culturate...
apropos... me like your evil plan let's plot to snatch Mr.& Mrs.Cassel... we can put 'em in the truck of the 'Volare'...
di cospirazione allright

It's ok. And if anyone is going to get offended for a quote than it's their problem. I wasn't. Keep using italian quotes.
Have to say, all beautiful women... but I like the other half of the 'verse better...
zoid and I have a plan to get ourselves the Cassels (also known as the Belluccis...)

GORRAMITITALIAN and TheAbyss:
Have y'all ever seen Monty Python's "The Life of Brian"?
This is all eerily reminiscent of the scene in which Brian -- a Jewish inhabitant of Roman-occupied Jerusalem -- is engaging in an act of civil disobedience, painting "Romans go home!" in Latin, on a wall of the Roman fortress.
Suddenly, he is discovered by a patrolling Roman guard. Certain he is going to be killed, he begins to beg for his life.
But the Roman guard must have been a grammar teacher in his civilian life, because rather than running Brian through with his sword, he starts to point out flaws in Brian's Latin usage. He makes Brian correct the errors, and then paint it a hundred more times on the wall. By sunrise, the entire wall of the Roman fortress is painted over in "Romani ite domum!", in perfect Latin, so that all the soldiers will properly understand that they have been insulted.
Life does imitate Art...
Relatively,
zoid
P.S.
Salma Hayek is a sexy woman; but she has been replaced in my pantheon by Paz Vega ("Spanglish"). However, Monica Bellucci = Venus de Milo, made flesh. Seriously. Compare the torsos (torsi).
