[oriolcara]

que vols dir?

[Skaxarrat]

Is not 'a small territory', it's "Our Country".

13 milions of inhabitants is not a "small territory"

[TheJordi33]

Visca les tradicions Catalanes !!!!

[pverdaguer]

I accept that our culture has eschatological overtones that can't be undestood by foreigners, buy consider that log as a metaphor of plant material that fertilizes the forest, that's also a kind of "shit" itself, but thanks to this thing, plants live and all of us live. The same about the "caganer", ous christmas most famous character, whose origin means the fertilization of the land. That is the real present from them both, representing the circle of life.

We, the Catalan people, are not those "Spaniards". These "opportunists

who invaded and slaughtered while pretending to

spread the word of god" in Latin America as you said. Those are Castilians, ad we are also considered as a kind of colony of them into the Spanish State. The Latin americans could get rid of them, but we can't, we are too close to them, unless one day we will be allowed to call a referendum about independence, just as Scotland is about to get. Very difficult!

@pverdaguer - I'm an animal rights activist,

a vegetarian. I'm just as intolerant of Bull Fighting

as I am of ludicrous traditions involving shitting

logs. As a world traveler throughout Latin America

I am deeply resentful of Spaniards. These opportunists

who invaded and slaughtered while pretending to

spread the word of god. While I find most traditions

to be rather silly, to take a log and tell children that

it shits presents is mind boggling.

... what the fuck? LOL

[FrlghtWolf]

Ugh! You know...I hear very little about Catalan and

when I do, it's always THIS kind of thing. "Caga Tio"

is literally meant to SHIT presents (Caga= shit).

While I'm tolerant of other cultures...even enthusiastic,

I find these people an embarrassing aspect of Spain.

Like the retard in the family that nobody talks about.

Sorry, this "Caga Teo" thing is really stupid!
