Spain...it really does suck
It used to be true that Spain was a country that kicked the arses of the rest of world when it came to imposing their will on the rest of the uncivilised world. Let's face it, they practically wiped out South America.
Now though, they lick the arses of anybody and anything, backtracking and apologising, feigning stupidity and allowing the world to take over. Let's look at Christmas. Not something that Spain ever really celebrated. They're more into the Three Kings festival on the sixth of January. But of course, there's a buck to be made. So instead of fighting for their traditions, Spain eagerly laps up that most rancid of 'celebrations' and swallows its pride once again. Now, Spanish tele is as awash with images of Santa, glitter, reindeer, elves and cheap tat that you simply must have, as British television is.
Is there anything more indicative that displays the virus-like qualities of capitalism? Is there anything that makes the thought of Spain as a world power less likely? Spain is nothing more than a land of dust, dirt and dead dogs.
I want to leave, but the thought of returning to Britain makes me want to gag. How come Utopia isn't on the map yet?

Some good stuf to check out, while I contemplate my navel and consider just how well I've done today
