It makes me sad to hear you say that from Spain, it just shows your lack of knowledge.

* Spain is ranked 10th in the Economist's quality-of-life index ranking (before the US, Japan, Germany, and the UK)

Don't you feel observed?

On: Can We Trust Google?

I started to doubt about Google's kindness when I first saw the

Why not suing them all for making music that can damage your ears? Or even better, Why not sue the whole world for making noises that can turn you deaf? This is stupid.
