Do you consider Occitania as fully part of France?

<<And is it really so hard to learn Catalan if you move to the region? You gotta realize that your newspaper isn't some bible of all-knowing truth. You, as a Spaniard were smart enough to learn English, yet you think people will like you if you move en masse to a region refusing to even try to know the language.
BTW, the Basque terrorism isn't due to recognition of the language. What an insult toward Basque people speaking their language, yet you wonder why they don't call themselves Spanish... I can tell you that by violently trying to wipe their heritage out, you won't get less terrorism.
Perhaps you can stop seeing insult by seeing Basque in use. >>



You dare to comment on Spanish affairs yet you are a completely ignorant. Your nickname is very convenient I see... first off , in Catalonia virtually everybody who was born there knows Catalan, since it is the language used in public education, but th same amount of fair play demonstrated from the Spanish speakers towards the Catalan speakers is not expressed the other way around because for instance people who wanna study in Spanish are not allowed in Catalonia. Is that hard to leat people dedice? One thing is to learn Catalan and another one is to impose it to people who don't wan't to use it appart from knowing some basics, and there is a lot of people like these in Catalonia, that is the reason why in private-owned business Spanish is prefered instead of Catalan. Only where administration and politicians are involved Catalan is chosen, that means something right?.
As for Basque terrorism, it is due to people who claim who defend the Basque language. Who is trying to wipe their heritage out you stupid asshole? That is a fucking lie, Basque heritage is preserved and well, but what we will not tolerate is that the terrorists impose Basque to the Spanish speakers, fucking duch moron. What is funny enough is that Spanish appeared first in the Basque country and thus it is Basque heritage to the same degree than Basque, but the terrorists, and not the rest of Basques, are ignorants and the very first ones who don't know their own histoy . Basque is a dead language because people prefer to use Spanish. Since the XV century Spanish was the main langage in Basque cities and that strengh of the Spanish language can't be stopped throught social engineering in favour of Basque. We, the Spanish speakers don't have the blame and don't prevent people who want to use Basque to do it, it is the other way around. Some fanticals don't accept the fact that Basque is dying out and use bombs to express their resentment and frustration. In France, where Basque is not recognized at all, they don't have terrorists, only in permisive Spain where dying languages are promoted in detriment of the rights of people who use Spanish. Preserving languages is good, but it's not worth the pain if you have to sacrifice individual rights of the Spanish speakers who can't use freely their language . I would expect that a Dutchman would understand this, but you must be a supporter of the Dutch extreme right or something,hence your stupidity and sympathy towards the Basque terrorists.
