System Metternich posted:Iceland? Approximately 20% of Iceland's original settlers were Gaelic. Most of them slaves and concubines either kidnapped in raids on the way over from Norway or bought at the slave markets at Dublin or another of the Norse settlements in Ireland. So that's some connection.

Tei posted:(for completness) Japan ~ Portugal relations quote:Japanese slaves were brought by the Portuguese to Macau, where some of them not only ended up being enslaved to Portuguese, but as slaves to other slaves, with the Portuguese owning Malay and African slaves, who in turn owned Japanese slaves of their own.[6][7]  I have to wonder exactly how that worked legally.

Slavery has taken many different forms in a legal sense.

"Slavery" is such an ugly word! It's nothing more than an ordinary multi-level marketing system. Each level collects profit from their downline and in turn passes a portion of it up! Once you make it to the higher levels, you practically don't have to work at all!

Why can't they build a line from Detroit to Toledo? I've taken Amtrak a couple of times, and I would've taken it a couple more times if there was another way to go east other than first going west across Michigan and passing through Gary to chain trains in Chicago.

Portugal had colonies all over the world during its imperial era, and everyone knows it was the first European nation to make significant contact with Japan. Portugal is connected by land to Spain, but the truth is more like Spain separate Portugal from europe. So in some logic un-logic, Portugal is a island, like Japan. I live in Spain, and while I know Japan very well, Portugal remains a mystery to me, so I will not add anything more. SÓ OS OUSADOS SÃO FELIZES Sem pedir, o vento Derruba as flores do chão . . . Eu nunca ousei (this is a portuguese haiku).

Ras Het posted:Portugal is a beautiful country full of wonderful people  My family is Portuguese so I'm biased as hell, but I've always loved going there. The coast is some of the most wonderful shoreline I've ever seen, and the food is amazing. It has quaint little historical sites that aren't flooded with tourists, too. I'm really sad that now that I'm working I won't be able to go there on 3 week trips in the summer anymore.

Jerry Cotton posted:Thing I know about Portugal: it was too insignificant to warrant an Asterix adventure. IIRC in the classic series Asterix (before Goscinny croaked) only visited countries that bordered modern-day France. The exceptions were Greece, which they did visit, and Luxembourg, which they didn't (also because there was nothing there at the time to distinguish it from its own direct neighbours). Plenty of Lusitanians appear throughout several albums though. They're usually depicted as short, somewhat more phlegmatic variants of Spaniards.

Oh by the way the "Portuguese Asterix" i.e. Tonius is absolutely horrible in a bad way, and I regret paying 1€ at a flea market for the album. I know it's been translated to a few other languages as well so if you want "funny" racism, check it out.

I want to kiss Juan Carlos' stupid bald head and have his babies We are dumb, but this was more a pragmatical concession to extremely far right people a lot into the idea of princess, castles and kings. Our king has no real power, but fill a role that is still necessary in most modern countries (having a president and a prime minister). Baka-nin posted:Portugal also managed to overthrow its Fascist Dictatorship while the Spanish had to wait for ravages of time to do their work for them. We failed. But we fought fascist, and many cities where turn to rumble when every man and woman tried to stop it. Tei fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Jul 29, 2016 |
