	What Does Spain Have To Be Proud Of? Remove this text

I'm just wondering...nothing at all springs to mind since it is one of the poorest EU countries, a habitually underachieving football team, and no great beers to speak of.

(The three most important criteria by which a European country is judged).

Discuss.

Great art, fantastic wines, spectacular landscapes, a proud literary tradition, incredible architecture, possibly the greatest football club in the world and the fact that it's a thousand miles away from an attention-seeking little twatbag from the arse end of Manchester.

Their national team might be underachieving, but their clubs do very well in UEFA cup and Champions League.

Beckham might move to Madrid though when his contract expires in 2003...

What we have that is great, is that we donīt have raving shitheads like you. One of the poorest? That wonīt be a factor for long. We got some of the nicest architecture in Europe, some of the oldest cities, a capitol that dates back thousands of years ago, a large manufacturing sector and good decent people.

Three minor points:

1) Listen to Bugs, he always speaks the truth: Real Madrid, 8 times European Champion. HALA MADRID!!!! Who cares about the national team btw?

2) Beckham will never ever move to Madrid. We have Macca

3) No matter what Giancarlo says, he's not Spanish. The poor fellow still ignores that the Spanish law does not contemplate birthplace rights (thank God!!!!). ElAwrence and I have agreed that he can stay in Buenos Aires for ever

I am not really sure. I usually follow the phrase: Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. This government ignored history, and is condemned to repeating it. I am fearing that the military could step in if the crisis gets worse and if this country devalues. My country: Spain, aswell as other countries like Italy and Brazil have too much at risk here... we canīt let a meltdown happen.

Your ignorance of history disturbs me. You little impudent ****. Madrid was founded in 1561 by King Philip II so I stand corrected but not by this impudent snotball Jaybee.

Spain itself has a history dating back a thousand years or so.

Umm, I hate to break this to you but you are wrong.

http://www.madridman.com/madhistory.html - It was founded the capital in 1561 by King Philip II so I stand right.

http://encarta.msn.com/find/concise...5057&sid=40#s40 - 3000 BC... teehee, we got a majorly wrong person here. Jaybee go suck up the facts. That is the way it is.

Or it could be the fact that jaybee says these respectible sites are wrong on evidenceless remarks?

Dear, Madrid was founded in the IX century by the Moors. That's slightly different from "1561 by Philip II"

Dear, Spain was 'founded' as we know it today in 1479. Iberian history dates back to 3000 BC. Either case that's not "a thousand years or so", as you stated.

Tell me again what to do with this

Not founded: made capital.

quote: The earliest records of an aboriginal past in the Iberian Peninsula are Paleolithic cave paintings, found in the region of the Bay of Biscay and the western Pyrenees, which exhibit a remarkable degree of animation and skill. Distinctly different from this development in the north was the later Neolithic Almerian culture (3000? BC) of southeastern Spain, which was akin to that of prehistoric Africa.

Iberian tribes, not Spain.

I said Spain can be traced back a thousand years or so. And 3000 BC is more than a thousands years.

Umm, if Madrid was founded in 1581 how is that thousands of years? (Just me being a pinckity little shit )

Spain seems like a nice enough place (though go back 25 years and I'm sure it's not).

You said that clumsily, in your third post. Your first two were therefore wrong.

Iberian tribes is not Spain
