    I've found another article that may help our beloved mexican friend:

    Decolonization

    The process of colonization begins with the physical occupation of land and the domination of the Indigenous people. Following the primarily physical aspects of colonization (ie. Military conflict, relocation, etc.) non-physical methods are applied. These include what could be called mental aspects. Religious indoctrination, cultural, social and economic assimilation are common examples. Therefore it could be said that colonization is comprised of two primary aspects - physical and mental.

    Prior to colonization Indigenous peoples were free and sovereign nations. Through colonization Indigenous people are deprived of their freedom and live in an oppressed situation. In order to be liberated from this oppressive state the process of colonization must be reversed. That is, it must begin with the mental aspects and move towards the physical.


    Colonization is always destructive. This destruction becomes internalized within the Indigenous person. Some basic characteristics of this are:

    1. Internal violence and aggression
    Anger and violence directed toward oneself, one another and
    family/community. This includes rape, murder, assault, sexual abuse of children, suicide, etc. The irrational violence within the colonized Indigenous person results from the oppressed conditions that colonization imposes upon people. (ie. Poverty, loss of identity, breakdown of family and nation structure, etc.) Some of this comes from specific methods used by the colonizing nation, for example Residential schools, the reserve system, etc.

    2. Individualism - self interest
    With the breakdown of the nation and the family, fragmentation and competition has come to replace the sense of unity, community and togetherness that was once the basis of Indigenous society.

    3. Neglecting one's culture - assimilation
    A key tactic if colonization is to portray the Indigenous culture as negative and irrelevant to (modern) society. Once this belief is entrenched within the Indigenous person they have no alternative but to assimilate and conform to the colonialist society.


    4. Inferiority complex - identity crisis
    The objective of the colonialist is to have the Indigenous person believe that there is little or no positive aspects within the Indigenous culture. Physical and mental domination, constant negative portrayals of Indigenous people and history, and white supremacist attitudes plat fundamental roles in the creation of the Indigenous inferiority complex. The indigenous person begins to question their identity and becomes caught between the historical concept of the traditional Indian and present day reality. "Who am I?" "What does it mean to be an Indian?" Major contributing factors to these questions are Residential/public schools, fostering of Indigenous children, inaccurate histories, centralization in urban areas, loss of language and culture.


    5. Abandoning of traditional territories
    Colonization creates a feeling of Indigenous dependancy on colonially established towns (reserve - towns) and cities. In order to benefit from colonial programs and institutes Indigenous people must migrate to these areas and leave their traditional territories. The act of relocating and isolating Indigenous people into the reserve areas is a tactic used to force the people away from the majority of their territory. This allows the colonial state to assume jurisdiction over lands that were once controlled by Indigenous Nations. It also removes the Indigenous people physically to accommodate the establishment of settler communities and resource extraction. The current BC Treaty process is a way of legally entrenching, and acquiring consent for an agreed upon abandonment and surrender of traditional territories.

    Decolonization, as mentioned earlier, is the act of reversing the process of colonization. It can be said that decolonization is constructive rather than destructive. the following methods of decolonization are aimed at reversing the destructive effects of colonialism that have been described above.

    1. Raising the consciousness of the oppressive state that Indigenous people live in by exposure to a more realistic account of history and identifying an enemy that's creating and maintaining that oppression. An effective strategy can include proper counter-action methods such as: educating oneself and serving as an example for others, advocating sovereign Indigenous rights, and exercising and defending those rights and traditional territory. These activities provide experiences that instill a sense of purpose by involving people in actions that make a positive contribution to their communities and ultimately to their sense of self. Individual, family, then community healing must occur. During this healing process, irrational violence and aggression is dissolved and a more purposeful facet may be identified to vent negative feelings that remain from colonization.

    2.Understanding you are a people and a Nation sharing the same ancestry. During the early steps of recovery, unity and togetherness play a vital role in the strengthening of the family and community units. An Indigenous person who is conscious of their oppressive history is also aware that they are not alone. The individualistic attitude introduced through colonization subsides to the Indigenous natural inclinations of caring and supporting one another. Self-interests also deteriorate and communal or national Indigenous interests become a key focus as a necessity in the process of decolonization.

    3. Revitalizing a sense of nationality and appreciating the knowledge and ways of Indigenous ancestry. Traditional philosophies of respect and appreciation for the Earth, life, others and oneself are positive parts of Indigenous culture that are stillrelevant today. An understanding of the negative and positive aspects of the colonial society is important and education on the negative aspects must be emphasized, while positive aspects be utilized. It must be acknowledged that all Indigenous people are assimilated to one degree or another, no one is immune from colonial influence or assimilation. While this remains as true, it must also be accepted that Indigenous culture and ways are not static. If Indigenous people had not undergone the influence of colonialism, they would not be the exact same societies as those that existed at the time of intial contact. It is at this point that the Indigenous person must learn to exist within a colonial environment in a decolonized manner.

    4. Recognizing the strength in Indigenous ways. While undergoing exposure to the truths of history, the Indigenous person realizes the fallacies and disinformation that the colonialist society circulates in regards to Indigenous history, culture and practices. It is important at this stage, to broaden the process of decolonization, to begin circulating more accurate and truthful accounts of Indigenous society. Firstly, re-education must be directed towards the Indigenous Nations and then focus may be directed towards people of other nationalities. As Indigenous people have acquired an inferiority complex through the oppressive lifestylethat they have become accustomed to, their initial reaction may be to overthrow their oppressor and gain control of the reigns. The Indigenous person must understand that the colonial society is destructive and the few positive aspects it does contain are the only beneficial components that can contribute to the process of decolonization. It is not feasible for a colonized Indigenous Nation to return to a totally traditional lifestyle, as their mentality and environment has been drastically transformed. However, an incorporation of positive aspects of (modern) society and ancestral Indigenous ways will contribute to overcoming the effects of inferiority and identity crisis.

    5. Reoccupying traditional territory. This includes establishing permanent or semi-permanent camps and communities in areas previously occupied by the Indigenous Nation and now abandoned, as well as increasing traditional activities such as fishing, hunting, and other food gathering. A primary goal of such reoccupation would be eventually establishing self-sufficient and independent communities beyond the range and influence of colonial society. From these, sovereign and free territories can be reconstructed, ultimately removing Indigenous people from the colonial society - a primary aim of decolonization.

    Colonization is constructive to the colonizing society, but destructive to the Indigenous society. In contrast, decolonization is constructive to Indigenous society, but destructive to the colonial society.

    Voleyball is a sport for high-class people in Mexico (1% of the population ) is almost like playing polo in Europe, it's something very elitist for them. And high-class people in Mexico use to have more european roots.

    On the other hand, football is a more popular sport in that country... everyone can be a football player in Mexico.

    This Sirius' guy can't be serious.

    You don't get tired of acting like a mor*n with inferiority complex in front of spaniards? Yeah that was pretty clear. Your people have been acting that way for almost 500 years (and counting).

    Me too. Internet is full of these resentful a**holes obsessed with spaniards. In our sport websites (Marca, As, Sport, MundoDeportivo...) in our news websites (El Pais, La Vanguardia, 20 minutos...) even in youtube (in any video related to Spain) you'll find it plenty of Latin americans ****** writing bull*hit about us... even when nobody is talking about them (what happens most of times).

    It seems like some of them get paid to follow and harass us everywhere. They're like a biblical plague.

    Ha, ha...

    No... I am not tired... but honestly, I am full of the garbage that you put, and that I for a while, indulged myself in answering.

    What is the problem with you?

    Very simple: Being the most swarthy people of Europe, you feel compelled to open thread after thread of twisted bullshit, trying to demonstrate that you are "Celts", "Germans"... and sh*t like that, that make some French and Scotts, really versed in those themes, to stand on their heads.

    http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25334

    Then, you say that you are completely different to Mexicans, which I agree from the very beginning, but somehow, I fail to convey with plain words that message, because you insist and insist, that I somehow try to identify with you: NO, NO, and NO.

    YOU are the ones that feel that there is some kind of strange conspiracy, so that the World think that Spaniards = Latin Americans... that Hollywood want to present Spaniards as Mexicans, etc.

    The plain truth is, that you are simple "insecure" of your own "Europeaness", specially when you confound that "Europeaness" with the degree of "Whitness", at the style of any vulgar skinhead of the street.

    You see? Everything point to that simple fact.

    That is a question that make you mad, and will not be resolved in this thread, nor with any amount of "evidence", immediatly twisted to fit in your own agenda, to try calm your own insecurities...

    "He is looking to me weird... he thinks I am an Arab... "

    "She gave me the weird look,... she thinks I am Mexican..."

    You are a sorry bunch.

    Mexicans are not Europeans, that is clear. I don't know, why you live in fear to be confounded with one.

    I for my part, spend months in a row, without having the concept "Spaniards" crossing my mind.

    I don't need to say... what I am saying? With morons like you, I have to say it:

    I do not want to be Spaniard, and I do not want to be coufounded with one, nor "identify" myself in any way... with "la madre patria".

    You see ? You have also this stereotype about us being swarthy, and then you deny that such stereotypes exist ..contradiction is'n it ??
    And yes, we are a very Celtic country, wether the French like it or not.


    Then, you say that you are completely different to Mexicans, which I agree from the very beginning, but somehow, I fail to convey with plain words that message, because you insist and insist, that I somehow try to identify with you: NO, NO, and NO.
    We are trying to explain this to the World, which, unfortunately, don't make the difference.

    YOU are the ones that feel that there is some kind of strange conspiracy, so that the World think that Spaniards = Latin Americans... that Hollywood want to present Spaniards as Mexicans, etc.
    It's not a conspiracy, it's a reality. Watch any movie about spaniards, for example 'Vintage Point", and tell me if the look like real spaniards.
    Ask any american or canadian person who are Spanish, and what is spanish culture. Most of them will confuse it with latin americans, and they will say spanish culture is only bulls, beach, flamenco...
    That's what we want to change, because I feel this is not my real country

    The plain truth is, that you are simple "insecure" of your own "Europeaness", specially when you confound that "Europeaness" with the degree of "Whitness", at the style of any vulgar skinhead of the street.
    Genetics tell that we are typically European..there is nothing insecure...

    That is a question that make you mad, and will not be resolved in this thread, nor with any amount of "evidence", immediatly twisted to fit in your own agenda, to try calm your own insecurities...

    "He is looking to me weird... he thinks I am an Arab... "

    "She gave me the weird look,... she thinks I am Mexican..."
    This never happens...there are no spaniards who look like mexicans or arabs...

    Thanks God this frijolito is not obsessed with spaniards. // sarcasm.

    If you don't want to be coufounded with spaniards then why you tried to make mexicans and spaniards look like the same with your pics???

    None here is saying that we are like germans or scots, you f*cking m*ron. You get offended because we said "spaniards are not like mexicans" thus you want to be like spaniards because you guys are complexed about your native americans origins... that's the f*cking truth but you'll never admit it of course. Mexico is a country with a strong identity crisis because of the european colonization, face it and leave us alone you n*rd.

    ¿POR QUÉ EL MEXICANO SE CONSIDERA INFERIOR?

    Rafael Mejía

    Si el mexicano es un ser humano como cualquier otro, ¿por qué lo consideran (o se considera) inferior? El tema es ya común hasta en el deporte, pero tiene matices y un trasfondo que pocos conocen.

    Cierto es que los clubes y selección mexicana de fútbol han sufrido ya varios reveses justo cuando se encontraban a un paso de la gloria, y que esto ha servido para revivir un tema que forma parte de la discusión cultural de la nación: el complejo de inferioridad del mexicano. Empero, esta pasión futbolera tiene sus riesgos, debido a que elimina de tajo al importante contrapeso que podrían representar, por ejemplo, los éxitos de equipos mexicanos de pelota vasca y tae kwan do, o de atletas minusválidos y figuras consagradas como la corredora Ana Guevara.

    Yendo más a fondo podemos encontrar que el tema no es nuevo; luego de la Revolución mexicana, artistas, filósofos e intelectuales han discutido sobre la identidad de los habitantes de México, sobresaliendo escritos como los de Carlos Fuentes (El espejo enterrado, La muerte de Artemio Cruz) o Roger Bartra (La jaula de la melancolía); empero, los trabajos más recordados son de Octavio Paz (El laberinto de la soledad) y Samuel Ramos (El perfil del hombre y la cultura en México).

    Si bien estos dos últimos libros han servido para cuestionar y aclarar aspectos sobre la identidad de nuestro pueblo, también han establecido estereotipos fuertemente cimentados de "lo que es ser mexicano" y sus complejos, curiosamente, sin consultar a los mismos mexicanos: estos escritos exponen reflexiones individuales y no conclusiones obtenidas a través de estudios de opinión.

    Además de esto, tanto el premio Nóbel como el filósofo parecen haberse equivocado al restar importancia a lo individual y dar peso exclusivamente a lo colectivo. A este respecto, Alberto Montoya, psicoterapeuta perteneciente al Círculo Psicoanalítico Mexicano y ex-catedrático de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), comenta que hablar de complejo de inferioridad es un tanto engañoso.

    Aclara: "En realidad no podría decirse que es una característica del mexicano; complejo de inferioridad hay en Estados Unidos, Perú o Argentina, que en estos momentos es uno de los países latinoamericanos más golpeados, pues allí han pasado de las ideas narcisistas (propias de aquellos que se tienen en escasa consideración y buscan constantemente admiración y atención), de grandeza, a una ruina casi total en cuanto a su economía; también debe considerarse que muchas veces la idea de grandiosidad oculta exactamente lo contrario: gran desazón y sentirse inferior a otros".

    Individuo y sociedad
    Explica el psicoanalista que para comprender esta problemática se deben atender dos niveles: personal y colectivo. "A nivel individual, esto puede deberse a patologías narcisistas, y se presentan cuando un individuo está muy empobrecido internamente. Aunque aparentemente sea una persona normal, muy valorada por los demás, sobresaliente, brillante, adinerada, atractiva o que pueda contar con muchísimas cualidades, se siente 'poca cosa'; esto también depende, claro, de la historia de cada sujeto".

    El hecho es tan variable que inclusive dentro de una misma familia existen casos contrastantes, debido a que una persona de este núcleo puede ser sobrevalorada y otra muy devaluada. Asimismo, suele ocurrir que un niño crezca muy "consentido", sobreprotegido por madre, abuela o tíos, y al crecer se convierta en un individuo que experimenta muchas carencias e imposibilidad para tolerar frustración y obstáculos, por lo que comenzará a sentirse deprimido y pensará que la vida es muy difícil y que no puede lograr lo que se propone.

    Ya dentro de la dimensión social, Alberto Montoya piensa que no todos los mexicanos tienen complejo de inferioridad, pero sí reconoce que hay mayor tendencia a experimentar esta desvalorización en algunas clases sociales: sectores de bajos recursos, indígenas y grupos marginados. Esto se debe a una herencia que se transmite socialmente y que se vincula directamente con la historia nacional.

    A decir del especialista, la cultura de los antiguos mexicanos fue muy humillada, lo que se refleja en movimientos indígenas como el zapatista. "Ellos son los más humillados, aplastados y sometidos, y el lugar que se les ha asignado es el campo, la servidumbre, una esclavitud disfrazada; por ello, además de los reclamos por la tenencia de las tierras, hay un intento de revalorar y tener un rostro, como dicen, para ser reconocidos; tienen necesidad de ser reparados por los otros ante esa sensación de humillación total que han sufrido".

    La mentalidad del mexicano se ha reproducido desde la época de la conquista, cuando los europeos impusieron un sistema de sumisión ante el poderoso, aunque a los mismos españoles les asombró y hasta sedujo la cultura de los mesoamericanos. "El mestizaje se dio así, a partir de una raza que se creyó superior con otra raza que lució inferior a sus ojos, y que estaba para servirles", acota el psicólogo.

    A pregunta expresa, el entrevistado comenta que esta relación de poder se vive todavía en el México contemporáneo, y cita un par de ejemplos. En primer término, comenta que muchos extranjeros se sorprenden cuando un mexicano responde "mande" en caso de que alguien le llama por su nombre, lo que es una muestra de servilismo.

    Agrega: "Esto es más que una apariencia; es una pérdida de valores y la aceptación del dominio del 'otro', abrirle las puertas. Al hablar de la casa propia, el mexicano dice: 'la casa de usted'; la gente de otros países se desconcierta, lo oye raro aunque sea una cortesía. Esta forma de hablar muestra una apertura a lo extranjero, que implica una especie de conquista amorosa en que se es seducido por el 'otro', porque se supone que ese 'otro' que llega de fuera tiene algo valioso, que gusta y que en México no se encontrará".

    Esta condición de servilismo, basada también en que mucha gente deposita sus esperanzas en una mejor existencia después de la muerte, en el "más allá", es aprovechada en la explotación de recursos naturales de la nación en beneficio de unos cuantos, durante las campañas políticas, donde aparecen líderes que hacen promesas de cambio para aparecer como redentores, o en el aprovechamiento de mano de obra barata: "El mexicano acepta la conquista, y aunque trabaja muchísimo (eso de que somos flojos es una gran mentira) se conforma con recibir una remuneración baja".

    El mundo y la condición humana
    Si bien todo lo ya mencionado puede dar una explicación acerca del llamado sentimiento de inferioridad, éste también tiene que ver con un contexto mundial que se ha desarrollado con el tiempo en beneficio de gente poderosa.

    No es sólo que el mexicano se sienta inferior, sino que también lo tratan de esta forma, ya que el sistema global está diseñado para eso, dando oportunidad a un grupo reducido de individuos. La desigualdad se vuelve palpable, digamos, en cuanto a las condiciones laborales. "Si comparamos un salario mínimo en México con el de Francia o Estados Unidos -comenta el especialista-, hay una diferencia de 8 a 1. Esto corrobora o confirma la sensación de 'inferioridad' del mexicano; es un bombardeo constante de ideas que se combinan con la historia familiar, en donde es común encontrar un padre alcohólico o promiscuo y una madre abandonada, entre otros problemas sociales que se reproducen".

    Al aceptar esta ideología mucha gente comienza a creerse inferior y a considerar que las posibilidades de ascenso están limitadas por las condiciones económicas; mejorar la calidad de vida se vuelve un sueño realizable a través de una telenovela o de ganar la lotería; se anhela poco, y se sabe que de ello aún menos se verá concretado.

    Otro problema, a decir de Alberto Montoya, es que "en México somos más folcloristas que nacionalistas; hay un orgullo por la imagen más que un interés por el país, y estamos aparentemente felices con la música y los bailes, pero es algo muy artificial porque somos indiferentes a la explotación, a que mueran niños de hambre o se tengan problemas en estados tan ricos como Oaxaca, Chiapas o Guerrero. En el fondo el mexicano no se quiere, se siente humillado y no ha podido reparar eso por él mismo ni por el 'otro', que cuando llega lo aplasta y domina. El mexicano sigue sufriendo, y tal vez el complejo sólo es el efecto de que se le continúa considerando inferior por muchos, por él mismo para empezar".

    En el nivel personal este problema puede enfrentarse a través de psicoterapia para dimensionar los conflictos de acuerdo a la historia de cada individuo y lograr una revaloración específica. En cuanto al aspecto social, Alberto Montoya considera que lo recomendable es la posibilidad de la educación, que la gente lea, asista a la escuela y se cuestione todo aquello que le rodea, esto con la finalidad de que "se reflexione sobre las barbaries y las injusticias de todos los días; en el fondo esa sensación del uso del poder salvaje, de destruir a otros sujetos, tiene que ver también con un estado de inferioridad del ser humano. En ese sentido, toda nuestra especie es inferior, pues al volverse más poderosa, su creatividad y valores son menores".

    Ahonda: "En ese sentido es como si el ser humano, en vez de evolucionar, retrocediera, y todo esto tiene que ver con ambición, soledad o no encontrarle sentido a la vida, lo que a su vez facilita el deslumbrarse con ciertas cosas o pensar que somos más importantes. El ser humano se está destruyendo, hay una pulsión (deseo inconsciente) de muerte, como decía Sigmund Freud, que lo lleva a destruir al planeta; lo percibe y no hace nada por cambiar esta tendencia, al contrario, acelera el proceso y prefiere invertir en drogas o armamento".

    En este sentido, opina el psicoanalista, el ser humano se comporta de modo inferior al animal, que es violento pero al mismo tiempo se apega a un orden, reproduce la vida. "Eso es el complejo de inferioridad; tal vez el ser humano (o algunos humanos) quiere aliviar su sensación de soledad y vacío sintiéndose Dios, y con ello sólo se destruye".

    Finalmente, la idea del "complejo de inferioridad" del mexicano parece trascender los puntos comúnmente debatidos y encuentra una explicación no sólo a través de la observación histórica, condiciones sociales e interacción con otras naciones, sino en el conocimiento de la condición humana y su naturaleza profunda. Es algo que deja qué pensar, pero sobre lo cual cada quien tiene su propia opinión.
    Lo ves frijolillo? Tienes que hacerte tratar de lo tuyo, por especialistas.

    Obviously, some people are hell bent on wrecking any intelligent discussion on this thread (and others). Why, because it has to do with Iberian Celticity / ethnicty? Sick!

    God forbid that Spaniards / Iberians defend themselves against racist slander and ignorant misconceptions. That's insecurity? How freaking pathetic. Why should we be harassed by insecure and brainless clowns, be they white, black, brown, whatever, for having a serious discussion on Celtic society and culture in Iberia?

    I agree that he should be banned. The man has come on this forum mainly to attack Spaniards. Why, because Spaniards want to eliminate absurd media stereotypes that depict them in ways similar to indigenous Latin Americans? ...

    I've already told Maciamo that this guy was a latin american ***** (I'm feed up with this people). He posted a couple of post in the genetic forum just to dissemble his true intentions.

    Bueno, esta claro ahora, con este hilo que ha reflotado, que este tipo no ha venido a hablar de genetica si no a intentar confundir, a discutir y a trollear.

    NO es la primera vez que veo este tipo de hilos. Siempre es lo mismo. Uno selecciona las fotos que le interesan para sustentar su punto de vista y en este caso esta clara la manipulacion que este sujeto mexicano esta haciendo seleccionando fotos de determinadas personas (actores, etc.). Haciendo esto cualquier puede llegar a soportar su punto de vista. Incluso hay suecos que parecen españoles (yo los he conocido), podria poner su foto y con ello demostrar cuan españoles son los suecos.

    Habia dado un voto de confianza a este sujeto, pero veo que es igual que en otros muchas paginas de internet que he visto. Es lo mismo.

    Y veo que este sujeto se da el lujo de seguir insistiendo en ello aun cuando ya se ha dejado clara cual es la situacion con respecto a ellos.

    Es claro que sirius solamente se expresa con el objetivo de "herir al contrario" :

    very simple: Being the most swarthy people of Europe,
    trying to demonstrate that you are "Celts", "Germans"... and sh*t like that, that make some French and Scotts, really versed in those themes, to stand on their heads.

    Es claro esto. No pienso participar en ningun tipo de manupulacion ni siquiera para discutir algo que esta tan claro. Lo unico que a mi me interesan son los hechos historicos y cientificos no las manipulaciones individuales de un sujeto sea este de donde sea. Creo que el administrador de este foro tiene por objetivo que esta pagina sea lo mas objetiva posible. No veo que esto se este cumpliendo.

    Mi tiempo es oro y no pienso perderlo en discutir obviedades con gente como este sirius2b, claramente herido en su orgullo por algun motivo que yo no alcanzo a entender. Es algo que me produce ardores de estomago.

    Segun estas fotos cualquier podria pensar que los españoles son todos rubios o pelirrojos de ojos azules cuando no es cierto. Mayormente somos de piel blanca y cabellos marrones (no negro) aunque tambien hay rubios, pelirrojos, etc y tambien hay algunos mas morenos, lo mismo que sucede en cualquier pais del mundo sea este el que sea. Igualmente segun ha puesto este tipo de mexico, cualquiera podria pensar que todos los españoles son de look exotico y piel tono oliva lo cual es absolutamente falso.

    Y, ojo, que no es lo mismo exponer unas fotos de un cojunto aleatorio de gentes (como ha hecho lynx) que una seleccion de determinadas personas como ha hecho sirius2b lo cual es obviamente una MANIPULACION a su antojo. Cuando éste tipo ha hecho esto es cuando he constatado que efectivamente su objetivo no es mas que atacar a los foreros españoles.

    No obstante hay una cierta contradiccion en las fotos que muestra este tipo respecto a ciertas gentes de mexico, porque obviamente si tienen algun tipo de look europeo (aunque, sinceramente, practicamente todas esas chicas del equipo de voley me parecen ciertamente mestizas) es seguramente porque son mayormente descendientes de españoles, con lo cual se demuestra claramente hasta que punto llega su odio hacia los españoles.

    Es muy simple. No hay mas que preguntarse :¿que esta intentando demostrar? Porque sinceramente yo no llego a entenderlo. Lo unico que explica su comportamiento es el resentimiento.

    Espero que Maciamo tenga en cuenta esto.



    Un saludo.
