Asturian-American Migration Forum

Yes Art, it was half in jest. I just wanted to make a point meaning that the U.S. gets blamed for everything.

To Charlie from linus, Yes, you're also correct, but unfortunelty (for you, I believe), the people from the U.S. of A. are called Americans. We have North America, Central America and South America but the only ones called Americans are "as you say it" the Unitedestadiuns". Come on, p...

Sorry Charlie but I think that the people of the United States of America are called "Americans" not Unitedstadians.

I completely agree with you Barbara. I stopped entering the forum because of the same reasons and I'm sure many others did as well. And it's not like Terechu says that "most disagree with us". I felt insulted or offended many times but it seems that a leftist democrat is better than a cons...

A very Happy & Prosperous New Year to all.

Perdon. Soy solamente un "idiot".

No salgo de mi asombro que personas, que creo estudiadas, digan tal cantidad de gilipolleces. Pedis respeto y tolerancia y sois los menos tolerantes (o a lo mejor los más iluminados). Respetar los resultados, por favor. Si quereis respeto empezar por darlo. -------------- translated by Xosé It never...

No Xose I haven't seen Moore's movie. But I'll try to see it today. What I'm fed up about are his growlings on TV and hearing what he says is enough to have an idea about him. I'll get back to you after watching the movie.

It's hard to explain patriotism to a continent where people are Marselleses, Asturian, Basque or Catalan (to name just a few) before Spanish or French. At any sport event you'll see more regional flags than the Spanish flag. We are the way we are and thats what makes us strong. We've been a multi-et...

My Mother was born in Cherryvale although she was sent to Spain, being a few months old, when my grandmother died. My mother's name was Trinidad Arias Sal and my grandfather was Manuel. If anyone has any information on the Arias family I'd greatly appreciate it. I think my grandfather had a brother ...

You're right Xose. Maybe if the ACLU picked its battles more effectively it would be a more respected organization. I remember years ago, I think Koch was the mayor of NYC, he tried to prevent the homeless from dying on the streets in those very cold winters. Well, the ACLU took the city to court cl...

First of all to Berodia. I'm glad that you think the term murderers is too strong in describing the PP and it's sympathizers. But then you try to smooth it out by saying "accomplices of murderers" would be better. Now my question is, if they are accomplices to the murderers,who are you ref...

I completely agree with Ken and Barbara in that the insults directed at Bush are far stronger than the ones directed at Kerry. All I heard about Kerry is that he flip flops, which is true. By experience I know that people with leftist tendencies resort to strong and direct insults. Here in Spain aft...

Barbara I think that this anti-american feeling here in Spain derives from the many years that the left was in power. They did a very good job of putting their people at the highest levels, television (even private channels), newspapers, etc.. All you have to do is pick up the most widely read newsp...

I've been living in Spain for almost 20 years, in 2 stints. It's very difficult if not impossible for a Spaniard to understand American politics and for that matter American mentality. Asturians in particular are anti-american and are going to criticize the US no matter what. If you read the local n...
