They don't even say that in the States any more. Much. Next thing you know they'll be trotting out the one about how black people are afraid of dogs because dogs were used to hunt them down when they were slaves. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11172054 |

Yeh, get the idea.
Wonder if it ever crosses their tiny minds, that without the Catalans who don't consider themselves to be Spanish at all and likely never will, Spain would probably not even have won an eggcup, never mind the world cup. |

Biological differences exist in the body composition of blacks and whites. We reviewed literature on the differences and similarities between the 2 races relative to fat-free body mass (water, mineral, and protein), fat patterning, and body dimensions and proportions. In general, blacks have a greater bone mineral density and body protein content than do whites, resulting in a greater fat-free body density. |

Of course, and Catalans are Spanish. There are some Scots who want independence the same as some Catalans do. But Iniesta, Xavi etc wear their Spain shirts with pride.
The Catalans are NOT,..........and from what information I've seen they'd be happy to have their freedom and full independence tomorrow. |

Re: The Olympics
If they do find life on Mars, we won't have the problem of agonising over which country our sportsmen represent on this little planet called earth.
A 100 metres run on the red planet could finish before it started. |

Re: The Olympics
One theory is that it's just psychological. We expect them to dominate and they expect to dominate so they do!
Interesting! http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/34/5/391.full |

Not wishing to turn this onto a political discussion,but the difference is that the Scots are being given the opportunity of being independent and doing their own thing as they prefer.

Those who want independance are very much in the minority in Cataluna and the Basque country e.g. http://www.libertaddigital.com/nacio...ia-1276385981/ In any case the Spanish regions have more autonomy than even the states of the USA. Part of the reason why Spain is in an economic mess, the Catalans and Valencians have hardly handled their autonomy responsibly |
