sadly the us is pretty much grabbing all the headlines when it comes to political and ideological discussion right now. so its unavoidable that it becomes the center of discussion. personally, i think the world bank and the imf are more interesting cases of argumentation of domination of the poor nations via capitalism, but thats another story, isnt it?
oh, and i dont think im snotty, i just happen to be right about everything... ok, that was a joke magik [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I did not say snotty, snotty in american english slang is a rather more offensive term than Snooty [img]smile.gif[/img] really I would not call you snotty, you arent that kind of person.
As for people not being interested in things that you have a problem with in Spain..I think you are wrong, one of the things that I value the most is information about other places. One reason I act all "high n mighty" when I do wheigh in on some of these things is I don't just accept the american press version of things..I talk to insiders when I can and I rely on my non american friends to clue me in on what THEY are being told about the same incident...eventually you can sift out what is "probably" the truth...this comes from a 10 year history of being in the intelligence gathering community so in closeing not even the FRENCH are snotty [img]smile.gif[/img] they are just snooty
Just as most americans are myopic when it comes to overseas issues.
PS. What is the current type of government in Spain anyway? Spain was never one of my spheres of responsibility while I was in the service so I never paid much attention to current events.
