I've lived in the third largest city in Spain since 96 and I have never had any problems. I also lived in Chicago, D.C. and LA and never had any problems. This is not to say it doesn't happen, only that you are exaggerating a bit. I also doubt that many pick pockets use computers so I don't see the connection. No, you mean my mother is exagerrating a bit. Is that what you mean? And of course, what you're saying is simply that she's exaggerating when she says she had to queue, in Barcelona, to report her purse having been snatched. No, I am not surprised she had to queue up, especially if she was in a tourist area. Interestingly, she said basically it's all British victims. Heh. That is curious. Maybe I've never have a problem because I'm not British ;-) Yeah, I went to Barca back when Franco was still there. I seem to recall they had a big pro-fascist rally recently, didn't they? Of course, it was fascist until so recently that of course it'll still be full of the supporters of fascism. Most of the supporters of Franco are dead. I didn't arrive to Spain until 11 years after his death. You know, we used to have an awful racist problem at football grounds here. But it is mostly gone, now. Probably at least in part because it costs so much to get in these days. Still, they have made progress. I think this nation has made progress. It's in the Spanish football grounds it's still an awful problem today. I don't follow "football", sorry. I don't go to the bull fights either. And what it has to do with computing is that it all has to do with morality. I love Spain, I love Spanish women and I love the language. For a little while I loved that it promised a more honest society than ours, but that part apparently went by the board. Just say Pinochet and Iraq. Please don't get me started on Iraq. Hard to see what you might think is exaggerated, anyway. My point is that street crime is common to all big cities. But not at all hard to see what you're really saying. Shane Nowadays, most of the street crime here is in the hands of Eastern Europeans and South Americans. The Romanians enter your home, spray you with a drug to keep you asleep and calmly rob you blind and then fix themselves something to go with your wine that they just stole. What's the world coming to? Alias |

I didn't arrive to Spain until 11 years after his death. I'm sure there are some new ones! There's a quite well-respected Italian footballer who played here for a few years who turns out to be a fascist - back in Italy gives fascist salutes, is pro-Mussolini. Disturbingly I don't think his popularity has suffered significantly since revealing himself! You know, we used to have an awful racist problem at football grounds here. But it is mostly gone, now.

It's in the Spanish football grounds it's still an awful problem today. I don't follow "football", sorry. I don't go to the bull fights either. No, nor I. The bull fights, that is. One of the unsettling undercurrents of times spent in Catalan France, also! Along with knowing that much of the entire area was pro-Franco during the civil war! At least the Maquis recovered some of it's honour during the Nazi occupation. And what it has to do with computing is that it all has to do with morality.

My point is that street crime is common to all big cities. Yes. Or anyway, most. I suppose it happens in London, but ours is more a capital of embezzlement, that sort of thing. And yes, she mentioned a certain Eastern European ethnic group. Shane |
