And who are you, or me, to decide what is the minimum size acceptable for a people to determine their own future?

 

And believe me, Catalunya can definately sustain themselves, thats the main reason Spain cannot afford to lose them, their GDP would freefall...

 

Like I said before, my country went through the same process and on the 1st of December 1640 we maanged to get rid of the Spanish king once and for all, after 60 years of stealing, and leeching our country and our colonies.

I'm ashamed by the support my country is giving to Spain. The lack of backbone makes me sick!

Guess how they sustain themselves? By trading within their own fucking country. Being part of the EU also boosts tourism to Barcelona. Ceceding and being promply out of the EU will hurt them. No, they cannot sustain themselves without the help of other countries.

The one too decide what country is too small to exist is common sense and financial responsibility. Nobody will be better off if they split. They will have their temporary victory lap and then what? The people who live there and don't agree are fucked, the people who depended on that land are fucked. According to you the whole pof Spain is fucked. A land that already has very fragile financial stability.

Look at what happened with Brexit or Crimea. Everyone is fucked now because some special snowflakes dreamed of their own country one day.

I'm sorry, but that is just paternalistic mumbo jumbo.

You need to stop and think that for some people, honor and pride is above money... I know thats hard to understand this days where we are all numbers... maybe one of this days we start to see guillotines on the streets again!
