Spain has no president, Spain has a king......

The man who rules Spain is their prime minister... if you meant you can't trust him because Spain retired their soldier from Irak, then you ay learn that a new prime minister has been elected, and that spanish people elected him because he said he would bring back spanish soldier....

Dude... I'm from Spain. Spain has NO prime minister. We call him "Presidente del Gobierno", which technically means he IS a president. And no... we didn't choose Zapatero because of that. We chose him because the former government lied about who had done the bombings of the train the 11th of March (elections were the 14th). The former government was saying it was ETA when everybody already knew it was Al-Qaeda. All the polls were giving them as the winners up until then, in fact the only doubt there was was if they would have absolute majority or not. In 8 years of government the ONLY mistake of the former government had been the Irak thing and we weren't going to kick them out for only one mistake. They screwed it in 3 days (from the 11th to the 14th of March) by trying to gain power by any means which included lieing. Since we had a dictatorship not so long ago we were quite susceptible in that matter and it hurt us in such a way that we just HAD to give them a lesson about democracy and kick them out though the oposition had NO programme... now the current socialist government is paying the consequences of this and although they were popular for certain decisions (Soldiers coming home, gay marriage...) their popularity is going down because those popular decisions don't mean crap when the economy is going to hell and the prices are shooting up like a rocket. The former government party is already ahead again in the polls (and most probably will win the next elections if this continues lik it is) and if there is (God forbid) another Al-qaeda attack in Spain (since the socialist party promised that we would never suffer islamist terrorism attacks) it'll mean the anticipated end of this government... the other day the current socialist Defense Minister was beaten up in a protest in favor of the terrorism victims for the concessions they're making to the Bask nationalists, tat's the real situation of Sapin right now. In the government change Iraq had NOTHING to do, and if you think it's a stable government you're very wrong. The international press has been feeding with a lot BS and misinformation regarding our political situation. What's more scary is that we're leaning towards a radicallity of political thinking that is too similar to the ones that lead to our Civil War... we just don't learn about our mistakes...

Was it ever proven it was Al Qaeda? I remember someone got arrested with the explosive, but was anyone really condemned as being part of Al-Qaeda and connected with the bombings?

It was. There have been already 150 detentions (one of them was the boss of Al-Jazeera in Madrid... talk about impartial press... ), although 6 of them bacame suicide bombers in a flat in Leganes killing a policeman when they were about to be arrested. It was a ramification of Al-Qaeda named Islamic Group of Moroccan Combatants. Most of them were from Morocco and were also responsable for the attack in Casablanca the year before. Their boss was arrested in Italy (Milan, I believe)... his name was Mohamed "The Egyptian". It seems they were planning the attack since way before 9-11 according to what he said to the police.

 

[Ruthmarks]

He sounds like a friggin bodybuilder by this description.

What's frustrating is that there will still be naysayers complaining about how Routh isn't somehow "big enough."

But from what Batgirl has said, things are looking good. Huge biceps and abs that could stand out through the suit when he flexes is always a good thing (especially if you're of the female persuasion). Add the height to it, and he'll look the part, when all is said and done.

And needless to say, I can't wait to see Routh do this ...

 

[superfever]

Great Manips...I love them. Except for the Superman symbol on the belt.

i think it's a nice touch, the way wilde did it.

 

[Wilde]

Thanks Superfever!

Here is an updated version of the my manip based on Enigma2k's description. I gave the suit a better texture, and made some other touch-ups.

According to Enigma2k this is really close to what the suit looks like:

I really don't see why people seem to hate this design, I think it looks pretty cool!

Anyway, Enjoy!

 

[Son of Jor-El]

hm...interesting.


by the way does anyone have any issues with the textures i've been using with my new suit drawings over in the supersuit thread? if gdw wants me to color it in i wanna do it justice

 

[superfever]

wilde, i think the belt should look broader. \S/ should be lower a bit. cape should tug into the shirt and more on his shoulder. and something wrong with the trunk cutting.

I agree but if he makes the changes then it is moving closer and closer to the real classic look. That's okay by me though! Oh, Sorry! apart from those dopey ass boots! IIB's version is a better starting point.

 

[superfever]

isn't they doing modification on the classic suit?
