    Admit it, you believe in animal rights.

    A vegetarian friend and I were talking, and we agreed that while most Americans probably scoff at the idea of "animal rights," even while they probably tacitly endorse rights for non-humans on some basic level. I'm sure the same holds true for most of the rest of the world as well. People are...

    Abortion scandal in Spain

    Investigate journalists from the Danish State Broadcasting system, on a tip, went to Spain to investigate whether some doctors there would have no problem performing an abortion on a woman 8 months pregnant. Turns out they were right. The revelation, using hidden cameras etc, was just shown on...

    Spain funds terrorism

    By paying ransom. It's too bad they didn't think about putting people at risk before they forked over funds that could pay for explosives, weapons, safe-houses, etc. They saved a Spaniard, how many Iraqis will die for this? http://au.news.yahoo.com/050317/2/tjzy.html

    Terror in Spain

    Hmmm, last I heard Spaid had withdrawn from Iraq and was considering funding Islamic mosques. So what are these guys upset over now? http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/14444292?source=Daily%20Mail

    Spain: Church and State

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/09/25/wspain25.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/09/25/ixworld.html As a citizen of the United States, the idea of state funding of a church just seems bizarre. Still, I can see that Spain is moving towards a separation of Church and State, and...

    Gee, Spain is much safer now that they've elected the gov't al-qaeda chose for them

    Explosives Found on Spanish Train Track http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115946,00.html They had a choice: appeasement or war. They chose appeasement, they will get war anyway. That's the way it always works. With Spain's long history I'm surprised they don't remember this. Too much...

    We Might have Lost Spain but....

    Can you believe Saudi Arabia? I was very skeptical of Saudi Arabia's cooperation in the war on terror. The meme used to be "if you want to wipe out terror invade them instead". Now, I am at work so forgive me for not citing references in this post. However, you can probably easily find this...

    Elections in Spain

    Well, for those of you interested, at 12% of the votes counted, PSOE is winning. However, this is not significative yet. The PSOE (socialist party) was the ruling party for many years before the PP came to power. Most surveys give the victory also to PSOE, but this is normal because a lot of PP...

    Terrorist attack kills 60 in Spain

    The BBC website, along with every other news agency has the story. Terrorists detonated bombs in three Madrid underground stations in the morning rush hour, killing (so far) 62. It looks like no warning was given. Eta is the primary suspect.

    Do the priests of Spain have mistresses?

    Do the priests of Spain have mistresses? The reason I ask this is because a while ago I read this book called "Iberia" by James A. Michener and its about what he encountered in Spain and Portugal, and in an interview with a Spaniard that James A. Michener records, the Spaniard says that the...

    Should Spain grant Vasconia independence?

    Should Spain grant Vasconia independence? I chose the option of no. Vasconia is Latin for Basque Land. It was named after the Vascons. The modern inhabitants of Vasconia are partly descended from the Vascons. The word "Basque" is a corruption of the word "Vascon." Vasconia would be too...
