@SCOTCHIRISHOFTHECSA madrid was arab only 150 years. It was a mere fortress with maybe a hundred people living there during the arab rule, the real city has never been muslim.
A country whose national sport is the torture and subsequent killing of bulls? How macabre! Spanish people are the most vile, odious pieces of shite on the planet (excluding Americans!).
I would like to share here a wonderful traveling tip. If you are planning to visit Spain, then do carry your iPad. The device will help you to see the Spanish cities on your foot, to use local transport and to have conversation with the natives.
Some very good ipad apps, which offer these features, are Hello Hello Spanish (to have common Spanish conversational dialogues accessible) and ‘Madrid Subway’ which is a comprehensive guide and detailed map of all city subway lines.
I miss Madrid
shut up jonathon
@DuncanLafayette do you live in spain, or is that just a wild stupid guess, cause it’ not like that at all!
i live in madrid!
this guy looks like Albert Einstein’s son!
Cool tips! Can’t wait for my trip to Spain. My friend went last year and told me I should take a prepaid cell phone with me. She told me about TracFone where I can get cheap cell phone. I only pay for the minutes that I use. The best part is that instead of paying long distance, minutes cost the same as a local call. There are over 60 participating countries and you don’t have to worry about activation, overage, or cancellation fees. I was reading the instructions online and it sounds easy!
@footballforever100, spanish origins can be traced back to romans, phoenicians, carthaginians, iberians, celts, and arabs among more i probably forgot
I know this might be random but where do the spainiards come from
like who were there ancestors?
Si quieres ver algo realmente espectacular, visitar el pueblo Peştera. (RUMANIA)
Peştera Village está situado a unos 7 km de la montañas de Bran Castle Rock de reserva en su totalidad.
SHUTUP SPANISH AND MAKE ME SOME MONEY SELLING ORANGES !!!!
Honestly, Christopher, I don´t give a damn about the Spanish culture. . for me, what makes Spain a lovely place is the boisterous night life, beer and wine at dirt cheap prices, and an absolute freedom to do what you fucking want to. . the Spanish police will turn a blind eye to anything. Yeah, Thomas had it off with some teenagers on the beach near Malaga last summer, hahaha. . . Spanish gals are easy to get, they like to have sex with foreigners. Pay for the drinks and the gals are yours!!!
@SCOTCHIRISHOFTHECSA And I’ll be there to expose your retarded lies and hypocisy, COLOMBIANBROWNIEOFTHEFARC-EP.
@CazadorDeZopencos
Yeah okay cazamoor i am busy right now going around and spreading the truth about your Moorish capital LOL
MagriT=Madrid
LOL
What the hell are you babbling about, delusional COLOMBIANBROWNIEOFTHEFARC-EP??? I did not “lose” any debate about Madrid (your retarded arse did, who thought that Madrid did not exist before the Arabs, LOL!) plus this is the first time any of these other people have posted in any of the dozens of threads where you were getting your arse beaten and exposed.
@RodrigoBandito Absolutely and the example on South America is spot-on. People tend to think that the Spaniards swamped the Americas in “huge numbers” but that was never the case. In Argentina, a good deal of the modern-day population is actually made up of Italians but because they were culturally and linguistically related to the Spaniards, they managed to assimilate with very few problems.
@zazairanic
Yes, correct ,i think the problem is people think of what happen in the Americas and try to invoke that on any population that has been influenced by others, that mass migrations had to occur and displace native ones and that is not true .
@RodrigoBandito True. The Romans did not shape the genetic structure but rather imposed their language more than anything else. This is kind of similar with the Ottoman Turks and their entry into Anatolia. They introduced the “Turkish” language but didn’t really impact the population in the way of race/genetics. History has shown us that invading armies/tribes tend not to alter population genetics as they only invade in small numbers.
Looks like Brough Cazamoor all the big guns in this episode, I note that whenever it starts to lose an argument (like the collapse of Madrid) all this is revealed!
@ Zazairanic It could be a number of prehistoric or historic (or perhaps a combination of two movements of the population) and migration from the Middle East. It may be due to the Neolithic farmers (generally regarded as the most likely alternative), Phoenicians, Carthaginians, slaves and immigrants from the Middle East in the Roman era, etc.
@CazadorDeZopencos
Yeah exactly i think it is ridiculous that people think that Spaniards have large ancestry from Moors, modern day genetics do not suggest that at all and as a matter of fact Spaniards do not have large ancestry from Romans or Goths either.
Romanization was not conducted through mass migrations from Rome itself but through administration .
@CazadorDeZopencos Sure. That’s been scientifically shown. What I would like to know is the arrival of the ‘J2′ type and its emergence on the Spanish coast. Although this type represents just 4% of Spain’s total population, i seems to have gained a foothold on many Southern European countries (indeed, in countries such as Italy, Greece and Turkey, ‘J2′ reaches over 20%. )
@RodrigoBandito Yes, I know. With the exception of the Celts, who were indeed important (about half of the Iberian peninsula was Celtic territory since long before the Romans showed up in Spain), all of those historical peoples were numerically small minorities which had no important influence on Spain’s gene pool.
