@odiossea only cry cry cry. CataluÑa is allowed to self govern already and that is why they have almost gone bankrupt. Most Catalan banks are also bankrupt and the Spanish government rescued every Catalan bank with billions the past week. That is, Madrid money to rescue La Caixa. Its not the first time. Catalan economy is not competitive compared to Italy, France or Germany (its other competitors) and only survives because of commerce with Spain and turism. On top this you ban Spanish language

[odiossea]

@akukukaka I am still waiting for a refference you promised and you still didn't give. At least by courtesy you should be loyal with everybody and give the refferences you promise before asking for others.

And I insist, Spain don't 'ask for'. Spain imposes a plundering. They don't ask for our money, but directly steal it.

[odiossea]

@akukukaka What will be the next change?

[odiossea]

@akukukaka I'm sure you are perfectly able to be clear and concise. I cheer you to do an effort.

Don't try to excuse your incoherences with a (I hope) false clumsiness at being precise and concise at the same time.

However, if you're still not able, you can always add more messages. It's always better than incoherence.

[odiossea]

@akukukaka The original sentence you wrote, which we were reffering to, is:

"you are contradicting yourself. First you say that a minuscule state such as malta has more leverage within the eu than a big country such as germany" (I directly copy-pasted).

That is false, I never said or wrote that, as everybody can check.

First you attribute me things I never said, and now you change what you said before. I beg you to stop trying to confuse the possible reader. It makes no sense.

@odiossea And thirdly, please provide a reference for that 10% of the GDP, as I suspect you pulled it out of a hat (just trying not to be rude here). That figure is closer to 5% of TAX REVENUES not GDP. Finally, for the sake of the argument, stop taking everything i say literally. It saves time, space& effort. You, me and anyone who might be reading this knows what i meant when i said "all we are asking for is a little contribution". I will however explain it to you if you still dont understand

[akukukaka]

@odiossea Secondly I apologize for generalizing when I said "catalans are greedy" when what I meant was catalans that think Catalonia should be an independent nation based on the fact that they pay more in taxes than what they receive.

[akukukaka]

@odiossea you know it is kinda hard to achieve a level of precision high enough to suit your completely nonexistent inference capabilities 500 characters at a time. Of course wot I meant was "a minuscle state such as cyprus has more leverage within the eu than a region belonging to a bigger country". I will in the future try not to assume that you are taking my posts not as single unrelated ideas but as a "whole" which provide a context that makes unnecessary repetitions, well, unnecessary
