The US State Department removes contentious advice about Spain racist prejudices. Wow, thank you!!
"Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition". HAHAHAHAHAAHA

A world without "real" money? No thanks
http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2009/06/supermarkets_set_to_refuse_cas.php
This decision is based on preventing armed robberies. There were 200 armed robberies in 2008 in Holland and there are thousands of supermsarkets, and yes most of us are against people assaulting businesses so maybe we should support this decission. Or should we not?
Regardless of the fact that credit cards do not always do its work due to magnetic failures, chips being screwed, or bank problems of all kinds (connections, lack of funds and so on)if a retailer in Holland does not accept a bank note issued in euros, Holland´s official currency, paper money becomes a second class type of money and those who have not access to plastic money will not have access to that retailer´s good or services.
Another important subject to be taken into consideration, if not the most important, is the answer to the question: Must everyone have a credit or a debit card? If the answer is yes then the next question is short and disturbing: Why?
Why must everyone be compelled to have plastic money? If the answer is what Dutch supermarket retailers have argued, preventing robberies, my reaction is a sarcastic laughing.
Forcing people to pay with plastic money for the sake of security is like forcing a woman to wear a burka to prevent her from being raped or, like we say in Spain, to kill flies with canon shells.
If you want to prevent robberies, do it investing in security, complaining at police office or any other way you can think of instead of cutting my freedom to use my money, which is legal tender, the way I want.
The three main reasons behind the whole idea of getting rid of paper money are to control, then to control and finally to control, period.
It is not enough that anyone can be tracked and located using the mobile phone signal, even whe it is shut, and that governments, like ours in Spain, are issuing identity documents including a microchip, now they want us to tell them all what do we buy, when do we buy it, where do we buy it and how often do we buy it.
that way they can know what medicines we purchase, how often do we refuel, where do we go and how long do we stay in a place.
In Spain our Government praises the advantages of the new chip incorporated identity card. You can access your social security payments, they say, you can pay your taxes using internet, you can ask for your labour record and so on.
That is all true; so handy, so trendy, and so convenient, but it is also handy for the government that you use this chip card and it is also really interesting to trace you using satellites anywhere in the world.
If you are among those who give up their privacy and freedom for the sake of handiness I guess you will not have any problem the day your funds have been confiscated for whatever reason or you have been imprisoned for driving too fast and they got that information out of ur mobile phone signal.
I personally want my children to buy candy without that buying information being given to someone other than the shop tender, I want to buy the newspaper I choose without leaving a trace and I want to have a coffee without the fear of having my insurance company being updated on my vicious habits and given them some tips about why must they raise my insurance policy.
Let us keep our cash and let us keep our privacy or at least let us do so while YOU, dear BigBro, track our DNA in our brand new bank notes.

Spaniards find abortion more acceptable than noisy people at night
Below some social behaviours listed from the most well tolerated to the least acceptable for Spaniards with the percentage of acceptance / tolerance:
1.- To apply euthanasia to anyone who asks for it 60,2%
2.- Entire freedom to abort 54,2%
3.-To have sexual relations with a person of the same sex 44,4%
4.-Death penalty to persons with very serious crimes 35,8%
5.-To smoke in public buildings 23,5%
6.-To commit suicide 21,0%
7.-To benefit from a professional promotion playing with advantage 17,5%
8.-To make pitfall in examinations 16,9%
9.-To get drunk in public places 15,1%
10.-A love adventure outside marriage 14,2%
11.-To smoke marijuana or hashish in public places 13,6%
12.-Genetic Modification of the food 12,7%
13.-Cheat in taxes 11,8%
14.-To buy something that is likely to have been stolen 11,5%
15.-To do noise on weekend nights 10,7%
16.-Stealing goods in large Department Stores 7,3%
17.-To look for excuses to skip work 6,9%
18.-To lie in self-interest although it may harm others 6,8%
19.-Driving too fast 6,2%
20.-Hiring an immigrant with worse working conditions for the
fact of being an immigrant 4,5%
21.-Drunk driving 4,0%
Building excuses to skip work or to steal a perfume in a department store is a much worse behaviour than to abort under any circumstances for most Spaniards. I am a Spaniard too and I cannot say I am not a bit in shock after going through this survey. I feel disgusted and ashamed of belonging to a society more concerned with their sleep or with their colleagues excuses to not go to work than with who and why must decide about an old man´s fate.
What lies behind this survey is a rotten and sick society of individuals that as long as they are not bothered or directly threatened they do not give a shit. We are a flock of sheep that does not care about an unborn baby because the killing of that someone we don´t see does not affect us, but if that baby would be there smoking then we would find that a shame!
In my opinion the attitude of the Spanish society pictured in this survey represents the success of those who have submitted us for the last 4 decades to a constant social engineering process and shows how powerful certain groups can become with the help of a continuous media bombardment.
This is worse than moral relativism. Moral relativism basically implies that nothing is "completely" good or bad and that it all depends on the context and so on... This survey shows that us Spaniards think that bad, wrong, evil and unacceptable things are those that can directly affect us in our lives: smoke, noise, cheating colleagues, drunk drivers and "illegal shoppers" (probably because we all know those robberies are included in what we pay).
In my opinion this survey proves that it is not (only) that we think that nothing is totally good or bad but that we tolerate and admit much more some really awful, bad and evil things like abortion or euthanasia because it is something that does not directly affect us.
Going more into detail this survey also shows that the younger the people the more upside down their values are.
Finally I find some comfort in that we find regrettable that immigrants are unfairly treated when hired, that is the only good news I can see in this dreary survey. I am also optimistic given the fact that the action-reaction principle has been a constant in human History and this status quo will revert into a healthier society despite some big brother wannabes.
Can you read me Zapatero?

About "cojones", Obama, Zapatero and King Juan Carlos
We talked some days ago about the fact that Fighting Bulls are allowed to keep their malehood attributes whereas beef bulls are castrated around the age of 6...months.
According to Sarah Palin Barak Obama must be a beef bull as we can see in the above video when she accuses President Obama of not having "cojones" which is the slang and macho word for testicles.
With respect to inmigration our President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero lacks "cojones" as well, same as when it comes to defend our national interests abroad or when he should address some hard words to our neighbour dictator King Mohamed of Morocco...King Juan Carlos, who has and shares several economic interests with muslim countries dictators has the cojones required to look after his royal wealthy family and those same cojones vanish into the air when it comes to do his job and explicitly defend the unity of our country. Juan Carlos has retractable cojones, something really handy to keep his throne a bit more but a shame for all Spaniards.
