But if you cannot even step down after being elected without falling victim to a spanish-inquisition like process,
anybody can do so invoking personal unexpected problem. Do you know what was the spanish inquisition?
As Spanish, I don't like light references to it. Like saying some process was akin to it. The inquisition was a terrible thing that could result in death and torments. And anyway, the reference to Spain forgets that other religions and countries had similar processes.
Come on... It's not a reference to Spain. It's a reference to Monty Python. Try to google for "Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition" before you go on with rants like this. There is even a Wikipedia page about it...
Sorry, but for any Spanish it is a sensitive issue and we don't see the humour in it.
"For any Spanish" is a pretty bold claim. I'm also Spanish and I have lived in Spain my whole life (except one year) and I can see the humor on it.
Moreover, you are the first Spanish I have found in my whole life who is sensitive about that institution that was abolished in 1834 (enough time to get over it).
I'm not sensitive about the institution, but about blaming Spanish for it. La leyenda negra de la mierda. There were other countries and religions with the same or equivalent institutions. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
