This is not a rant against Spaniards or Spai...Luis,<br />This is not a rant against Spaniards or Spain. Every country has its local version of Don Ramiro. If he feels so superior to French and North Americans with more professional success, education and culture than he has, I can only imagine the treatment people like him reserve for people of color from developing countries. Plenty of people feel superior to me and I don't give them a second thought. With this man, my reasons to detest him are not cultural (in which case I'd simply regard him as a harmless old artifact); they are personal. He attacked me, insulted me and threatened to kick us out of our apartment because he didn't like the noise our children made. While standing two meters away from me in the courthouse, this man insulted me and my husband, our qualities as parents and our children while talking to our lawyer; never once did he acknowledge our presence - he either must imagine we don't understand Spanish or are simply beneath common courtesy. Every Spanish person I've talked to says its laughable that we thought he could kick us out of our apartment, less so because the noise our children make, since the laws are pretty favorable to tenants and protective of families, but when you are a foreigner and you don't know the legal system and somebody sends you a nasty legal letter and takes you to court, you don't know they're just harassing you; you take them seriously.

I also agree that we are better off without them, but your wife´s rant seemed to me a little bit too much. Anyway, I hope things are better now.<br /><br />"Nah, the bad ones hang on forever.

On education, I seriously doubt he has PhD or can actually speak enough english to read. But I sure hope you will translate for him given that you actually give a hoot. This "paleto de pueblo" insulted my wife and my child to hers and my face. NOWHERE in the world have seen such rude behavior. He is the low life remnant of the franco era, neither education nor manners, but certainly soberbia. The sooner his generation dies out the better it looks for spain in the eyes of your average international woman. Un gusano de paleto. Punto y basta.adt43wt342https://www.blogger.com/profile/07557608193924044365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663998076511109850.post-53486060398209586272011-07-05T08:36:49.998-07:002011-07-05T08:36:49.998-07:00"He has neither manners, nor education"
