Quote (afdave @ May 19 2006,13:44) | Quote | Portugal traces its national origin to 24 June 1128 with the Battle of São Mamede. Afonso proclaimed himself first Prince of Portugal and in 1139 the first King of Portugal. By 1143, with the assistance of a representant of the Holy See at the conference of Zamora, Portugal was formally recognized as independent, with the prince recognized as Dux Portucalensis. In 1179, Afonso I was declared, by the Pope, as king. After the Battle of São Mamede, the first capital of Portugal was Guimarães, from which the first king ruled. Later, when Portugal was already officially independent, he ruled from Coimbra. |
Rilke-- Check to see who Afonso's father was. You'll find in was Henry of Burgundy, a French nobleman who helped fight the Muslims.
Now, since everybody is whining on your behalf, I'll lower the wager. You tell me what you are willing to risk to prove you superiority and my idiocy.
I wouldn't hold your feet to the fire, Rilke, but you were pretty rash and blatant and bold. I'll give you a hint ... Sometimes you get what you pay for on Wikipedia.
If you want to keep being a jerk, I'm going to shine a bigger and bigger spotlight on you ... otherwise, I'll drop it and we'll move on. |
Now Dave, lets be exact here. You said several things: Quote | Portuguese (which of course is Spanish and French mixed). | We can see from every single resource that you were lying. Or fabricating nonsense.
When challenged on that particular piece of fatuous nonsense, you changed your story completely to Quote | Spanish and Portuguese were essentially the same language until 1143 AD when Portugal broke away from Spanish control under a French nobleman by the name of Henry of Burgundy. From this point on, the languages diverged into the modern situation. The primary influence on the linguistic divergence was the French language. | But alas! Once again we find that you were lying or fabricating: Henry was already dead by 1143.
Dave, you are the stupidest, clumsiest, most egotistical liar I've seen in years. You don't know a single thing about Portuguese, and you're too vain to admit that you were completely wrong.
So let's see....
David makes a factually incorrect statement.
When caught, he changes the statement and lies.
When caught at that, he blusters and tries to bet his way out with more lies.
Dave - [i]this is flagrantly unChristian behavior. How can you call yourself a Christian when you're a liar, and stupid, and ignorant. (Well, wait a minute, you could certainly be a Christian and the last two of those. )
How can you do it, Dave? How can you be a Christian and be so dishonest?
Idiot.
