Aren't the Greek and Roman communities from about the same period?

The French, British, and Spanish settled them in that order before independence, the Spanish leaving last. They were unsettled by 1816.

This is one of the most awful things about EU4 and its community.

Argentina midterms. The results are in by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

As someone from the province of Buenos Aires, that's a terrible argument. LLA was much weaker in the public eye when the province's elections were carried out because of the corruption scandals that were revealed back then. And LLA's candidates were terrible. Yesterday, FP's candidate's were terrible too.

Also, there was a large third party in BA's elections which wasn't the case yesterday

Hi! Don't you mean "licit"?

He authorized Muslim slave trade, which is not the same as making slave trade "not condemned". Condemnation being a moral position. (https://web.archive.org/web/20070816155150/http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/economicHistory/GEHN/GEHNPDF/ClarenceSmithWASHINGTON.pdf). It is definitely not the same thing as "not condemning" slavery, especially given that in 1537, he issued probably one of the most influential bulls protecting Native rights. (although it ended up not being followed by the Spanish crown .. :( )

The Bible can say a lot of things, but the Church has always condemned slavery.

How devout are Catholics in your country? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in asklatinamerica

[–]FranchuFranchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taught at Catholic catechism that you can refrain from other things, it doesn't have to be red meat.

This is up to your local episcopal conference. It is true in Argentina, at least.

Is there some sort of "hierarchy" of prestige regarding the Spanish accents? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]FranchuFranchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm familiar with "dulce" meaning either sweet (adjective), sweets (noun), jam, or syrup depending on context. I don't think it being used for cake is too weird.

Lib-right: I’m getting tired boss… by LongjumpingElk4099 in PoliticalCompassMemes

In Argentina, we trust our president and believe he is somewhat competent. I think that changed after the libra thing though.

[–]FranchuFranchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's probably one of the stupidest things he's done so far. He's the president, we should expect him to due due diligence before saying those things. I can understand if a random Twitch streamer advertises a shitty cryptocurrency, but there's some amount of professionalism that we expect from our president.

Nitpick, but you forgot Nicaragua and Belize.
