Part 2 of the 97 part series on private education in Spain: if a bomb falls on England

The Spanish private education system is, as we have previously noted, very Catholic, very conservative, and (one might argue) very ridiculous.

Case in point: Today my professor explained to us why Hungarians have traditionally had a highly nationalistic tilt. Essentially, they are the only pueblo with their specific culture, and thus if they disappear, there is no more Hungarian culture. Fair enough. So to sate their nationalistic tendencies, they of course oppress the other neighbor cultures.

Quote: "Si cae una bomba en inglaterra, pues no pasa nada, porque todavia queda Australia, Canada, etc."
Translation: "If a bomb falls on England, well nothing happens, because there is still an Australia, Canada, etc."

Of course if a bomb falls on Hungary, then we have a problem. The English? Ehh.

Conclusion: England is dispensable.
