The position of the font's author looks very reasonable to me (from the article): > If you love Comic Sans you don't know much about typography. And if you hate it, you need a new hobby.

The status quo was already established by a very qualified majority. Changing it should require a qualified majority too. It's the same reason a thermostat is not constantly switching on and off when you cross the set temperature. Heat

The Catalan parliament, which works based on laws on which the central government does not have nothing to say, required a large majority to pass important laws. The independentist government decided to ignore that law and go on with it, ig

No, current constitution was redacted after the death of the dictator. There were mainly seven people involved in writing it. Between them, there was a communist, a socialist, a representative of the Basque and Catalan minorities, and only

According to your reasoning, if I am a communist and think that everything has to be shared, and decide to take your property and get in jail, I would be a political prisoner because I would be there for my ideas. And Carme Forcadell is not

Read that report you linked. According to it, most Catalans are not so eager to leave as you say (and I would not call it an impartial source). For example, in page 4 you can clearly see: 43.6% wants an independent Catalunya, but 48.2% want

Thank you for taking the time to write that comment. Everyone is tired and a bit too sensitive now and, even if I don't agree with many of the things you say, I sincerely appreciate that you are trying to give your reasons and answerin

Both Linux and Git look like obvious solutions that anyone could have come up with. That's what makes a discovery or a product great. That's why I think Linus is simply a genius.

Yes. You are totally right. The ugly side of Spain is quite big and very ugly. We have to fight that. I have already written in other comments that I absolutely reject the violence of the police during the referendum, for example, and that

When I say "this", I do not talk about the independence of Catalonia. I refer to everything I wrote in the previous paragraph that you have ignored to instead talk about divorces (a bad analogy, by the way). They have created a pr

That's an interesting point of view I cannot say I disagree with. I do not see big fundamental differences between many small countries working together with those smart borders you mention or some kind of big federal estate that gives

I think you misunderstood my comment (being honest, it was not very well redacted). I do not disagree with anything you said at all, on the contrary. What I mean is precisely that a lack of personal reasons to keep your privacy is not a goo

In my opinion the nothing to hide argument is valid in a personal basis, but not in a policy making basis. I am against the surveillance of citizens in the name of security, and I actively support the EFF in their attempts to stop it, but I

Sorry but I think that not doing what you can to facilitate communication with your interlocutor is impolite. Including not responding. Of course there is no obligation, but I'd find it impolite. I travel a lot, I have lived in differe

The referendum was totally out of control. I will always condemn the violent response of the police that day, but the referendum was a total nonsense. You can easily find images of boxes left on the street and people "voting" with

The difference here is that Catalonia is an integral part of Spain, not a colony. They are perfectly well represented in every institution, and have in fact had a central role in most governments since the end of the dictatorship. Both situ

The Catalan language really was in risk during the dictatorship, but during democracy its status has constantly improved. Nowadays, Catalan is spoken by the majority of Catalonian people, taught in schools, used (even required) in public in

But professorTuring did not say a cause, he said "Catalonian cause". You are right in that promoting criminal activities can help a cause in very specific cases, but I don't think is relevant here. Gandhi, MLK, etc had legiti

In your defense, I would bet that changing "president of Spain" to "president of the government of Spain" has been one of the most common corrections not only for foreign journalists, but also Spanish ones.

In Spain, Pedro Sánchez is the president of the government, we do not have a prime minister. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_(government_title)
