            But Spain is in Europe, so if more Spaniards could actually read, it would increase Europe's literacy rate.

              Spanish men also don't know how to please a woman. The average woman in the US has 2.09 children and in Spain they only have 1.28. Perhaps that chauvinism is masking something deeper.

                  Had you really wanted to convey something positive about the US, you would've said that the US is twice as literate as Spain, and you wouldn't have called them commies and wussies. What made you jump on Spain like that? Did you get turned down by a hot spanish girl? Did she call you fat, ugly, bald american bastard?

                    But by illustrating the commie and wussy nature of Spain, I am only intending to positively illustrate the brave and democratic nature of the US through contrast.

                          No, it means that American women are just 38.7% more eager to reproduce with American men than Spanish women are eager to reproduce with Spanish men. Clearly it's due to our ability to please.

                                Ha ha. Yeah so free. You cant drink alcohol in parks and on beaches. You cant smoke dope legally. You cant buy drink in a mac donalds. Your women cant go topless on any beach they want. You have 11 holidays a year, as opposed to 22 here, plus a couple of weeks if your wife gives birth. We have free health care, and it is good. We can drive at 85 mph in France, unlimited in a lot of germany. Free? You dont know the meaning of free. Nunc est bibendum

                                  OK, I'll spell it out for you. child birth rate != frequency or quality of sex In fact, having kids gets in the way of sex for pleasure. Nunc est bibendum

                                      America's* Literacy rate (link[^]): 99% Spain's literacy rate (link[^]): 97.9% so Spain is about twice as illiterate as the United States. Not only that, but they elected communists in order to appease Al Qaeda. What a bunch of wussies. *Note that this figure has been adjusted to only include the United States. Venezuela was not counted. -- modified at 9:10 Thursday 22nd June, 2006

                                        We have the freedom to allow all that if we wished. However, not being a civilization in decline, we choose not to.

                                          They're not Americans. The 10 million or so illegal immigrants from the Middle East aren't counted in Spain either.
