Could this guy be any more out of touch?
"Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has reportedly suggested the 28,000 people left homeless by the Abruzzo earthquake should imagine they're on a camping trip.
Mr Berlusconi made the serious gaffe on German television station N-TV.
He told the reporter: "[The victims] have everything they need. They have medical care, hot food ... of course, their current lodgings are a bit temporary, but they should see it like a weekend of camping.""

The guy is one of the biggest scumbag NWO criminals in the world. he is probably happy about all the blood that was shed during the earthquake. he gets off on it. He is not being positive he is being a scum bag.

I think it is also true that those who whine about being made homeless and disorriented through this catastrophe should remember that Berlesconi would be "enjoying the camping holiday" too, if it happened where he lives....
Actually, no, he would be seen to by the best medical experts money can buy before boarding his multi million pound yacht, and sipping cocktails with Cliff Richard till the early hours.
Actually, if Berlesconi thinks that this kind of experience is so great, why doesn't he go "camping", and allow the people made homeless through the catastrophe to move into his mansion until their houses are rebuilt?

Perhaps they could sing songs about their lost ones and burn marshmallows on an open fire?
When I go "camping" I do so knowing that my home is safe and not rubble on the ground,
when I go "camping" I do so knowing that my loved ones are safe and not dying or just dead,
when I go "camping" I do so by choice! not beccause I have no choice....
your "opinion" is an insult.
Heh, why not just say: "Imagine you live in a world where your leaders actually give a shit about you".
Much more to the point :D
obviously its to try and keep people calm and in a positive mod and try to distract them and until things can be sorted out.
not to have them demanding,panicking and overloading there emergency services
also it might try and put of the grief/trauma/fear/shock worry until it can be dealt with
