Why is ridiculous?
spanxx··on Hundreds of skulls reveal massive scale of human sacrifice in Aztec capital
Do you really think that human sacrifices were so common in Spain? Have you any impartial sources (not Black Legend backed) to defend your arguments?
spanxx··on Ancient Mass Child Sacrifice in Peru May Be World's Largest
I wonder if this kind of customs helped the Spanish conquest and subsequent colonization of the Inca/Aztec Empire.

Because, no matter what culture you're part on, having your kill killed is going to make you be against the current rulers.

No surprise small Spanish groups of sailors and great armies of native allies could topple several empires through America.

spanxx··on Great Vowel Shift
Frontera tour link:

> According to Eugenio Martínez Celdrán, however, systematic classification of Spanish allophones is impossible due to the fact that their occurrence varies from speaker to speaker and from region to region. According to him, the exact degree of openness of Spanish vowels depends not so much on the phonetic environment, but rather on various external factors accompanying speech.

So parent point stands. That's my opinion as well as a Spaniard.
