    Well, bad wording there, sorry. Meant to say that the ones calling Independentists nazis are the profranco fascists themselves. Hence the irony.

    Please, I am one of such children that was supposed to have been sistematically instilled a political agenda and until recently I did not want the independence, maybe to get rid of a monarchy and to make a more decentralized republican Spain but never to simply get out of it as of now. I can tell you I am quite pissed by what passes for government here but even more so for what we have in Spain that has been shitting on us for the last ten years.
    Consider this, all my teachers have insisted that I think for myself and make my own decisions and contrary to what my parents had to endure in their youth I have not even once been coerced to do anything like what happened in Franco's education system.

    A funny thing is how most of those "unconstitutional" articles are also present in other Autonomy Statutes and have not been repealed.

    How strange, as far as history goes Spain did not exist 500 years ago. Are you speaking about when Catalonia was united with the Aragon crown? That was a dynastic union where a Catalan baron inherited the Crown of Aragon. I would put the inflexion point in 1714 where Catalonia sided with Charles of Austia in the spanish succesion war and lost against Philip V who started a very repressive policy against catalans. Also, I find quite ironic that they call the independence movement as nazis when most of them are spanish fascists that revere Franco's Spain.

    Thankfully there has been no violence yet except some extremists in confrontation with the police. Even the CUP wich have strong ties with the extreme left and some anarchist currents has been asking for restrain and non violent protests.

  15. Re: I hate bad journalism like this... on The World's Largest Cruise Ship and Its Supersized Pollution Problem (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    There might not be international regulations in place for the high seas but I would guess that banning the selling, using and even carrying of that fuel inside the territorial waters of the countries where the ship is expected to land would solve that problem quickly. Some ships can't enter EU waters because they carry some products, I guess if the cruisers can only land on 3rd world countries the demand would go down. I guess we are starting to get to the scale where small affordable nuclear reactors would start to make sense in this kind of application if they can be made safe.

  17. That list... on Terrorists No Longer Welcome On OneDrive, Outlook, Xbox Live (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It seems to include some organizations that are not terrorist per se. OK, maybe we consider every ministry of Iran a terrorist organization but it is abit selfserving. Same with North Korean Atomic autorithy. Sure, they are "bad" but not terrorist organizations. Central Bank of Iraq is in there because it somehow financed terrorism... I bet that some American banks are involved with CIA operations too and they are not listed as terrorism organizations. I guess "Terrorism" is on the eyes of the beholder...
