Well yeah.. I mean I have family in Venezuela and all of that.. but it's just this Portugal-Spain thing.. we hate them and they hate us.. not in a war kind of way, but like frindly neighbours that are always in some sort of a quarrel =P Anyway I personally have no problem with spanish people since I some times go there on vacation I just don't like the language even though I'm a fluent speaker... neither the fact that some times in foren things msotely american movies or stuff like that they some times overlook Portugal.. and for msot of them we're just a Spanish state or something and I really hate that... I guess this is wayy out of the subject =p

^ I have internet friends in Brazil. They were a Portugeuse colony at one time so can you blame them for naming cities after Portugeuse ones? There are cities in England that have the same name over here. (i.e Bristol, England Bristol, Tennessee)

Yeah, not many "D" 's out there and Denmark must've been one of our first ones but what are you going to do? :unsure:
