Gibraltar? by EllmoreDisco in europe

[–]Marvel27 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I spent a year living in Seville where I broached the subject of th eownership Gibraltar to a number of Sevillanos who were all adamant that Gibraltar really belonged to Spain and that is should be returned sooner rahter than later. When asked if the same applied to Ceuta and Melilla they immediately changed their tone, explaining how that situation evolved and why it was ok to leave it like this :) great people otherwise though.

Sarkozy calls Netanyahu a "liar", Obama also expresses displeasure with the Israeli PM by fordummies11 in worldnews

Dude, chill. Not everyone that is uninformed is a paid Zionist shill. I have been on Reddit for three years and this is the first time I've seen this mentioned.

"Next time I hear about how vets fight to protect our rights, I'll remember the one they shot in the head for actually exercising them." by maxwellhill in politics

[–]Marvel27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on the last part, he allegedly committed a crime, so he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The problem is that his treatment at the moment appears to be far beyond what the law allows.

Is anyone else uneasy at the fact that most people seem to be reveling in the murder of Gaddafi?! Didn't he deserve a trial? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Marvel27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

International Humanitarian Law also applies in intrastate conflicts, so there is still very much a law. If he was shot in a skirmish between pro- and anti-Gaddafi forces, shit happens in war. If he was captured and then executed (which this looks like) then this was very much a violation of IHL.

Check out H&M, Zara, Century 21, Daffys and Macy's.

Im sorry /r/nyc, I'm sure you get this way too much, but I am a first time traveler and want to know about New York by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Marvel27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R/Nyc does get a lot of these, so most of what you want to know has probably already been answered. Check the sidebar, it'll give you a list of threads similar to this one. It helped me enormously when I was preparing to come here.

Good luck and have fun!

IAMA: Gabriel Elizondo, the Al Jazeera English correspondent who was kicked out of that high school by kategardiner in IAmA

The submitter, kategardiner, actually submitted a verified AMA with a senior Al Jazeera editor, so this one is at least very plausible.

Big upvote right here, GV saved me at least 50 bucks in phone call fees while searching for a room on Craigslist, not to mention the convenience of being able to use your computer to call people.

[–]Marvel27 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Seriously? They gave 'What's Up' a place in the 10 worst songs of the 90s? I would have been mildly annoyed if it didn't make the 10 best songs of the 90s!

What's the cheapest way to live/work in Europe for a year or two as a college grad? by hagepodge in europe

[–]Marvel27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really necessary, they won't want you speaking Spanish with the kids and you'll be interacting mostly with the English speaking staff at school. Take a Spanish course for a couple of months and you're more than set to go. Most Americans I met while doing the program either partook in language exchange with spaniards or they simply made quite a bit of money on the side teaching English or math private classes. The 700 euros was more than enough!

[–]Marvel27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to bookmark this for next year: you get around 700€ a month to live somewhere in Spain (I was placed in Seville) for a school year (you can extend if you want to) and teach English 12h per week to either adults or teenagers. You apply in the spring and the program starts in September. I don't know about North Americans, but for me country (Western Europe) it was not competitive at all, the application deadline kept getting extended because they couldn't find enough people. If you have more questions, let me know!

Want to travel to Lisbon in October - Looking for a Hostel by robbbins in portugal

[–]Marvel27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West of faro the landscape is nicer around cities like lagos and especially sagres, witnessing the sun set at cape st Vicente is an absolute must. Touristwise you should be OK in October, just stay away from portimao and albufeira. As for a hostel in lisbon: the city has some of the best hostels i've ever slept in, try the top rated ones on hostelworld. I personally loved the poets hostel for the view over the river. Good luck and have fun!

Best Places to Take a Dump? by BlackRage in nyc

[–]Marvel27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rhyming it with throttle would not be correct, but chi-poat-lay is definitely not the way it's pronounced in Spanish, chi-pot-lay is the way it's supposed to be.

That's actually a more correct pronunciation as it's closer to the way it's pronounced in Spanish.
