Oh, yet another pearl of wisdom?
So it is a peculiar Italian characteristic that bankers and farmers belong to different social strata.
I imagine Hassidic habberdashers from Queens, young unemployed Blacks from urban ghetto who converted to radical islam and the "white power" losers from Montana hideouts otherwise socialise in a friendly manner at Florida retirement homes?

A compound sentence with mixed Subject of 1st and 2nd Personal Pronouns (in the first clause "I", in the second "you") shows heavy retardation in emotional maturity.
A child under the age of 2 cannot differentiate between "myself", "you" and "the world", but by the age of 3 -- three and a half at the latest -- the onset of a sense of self should be accomplished.
