Pro-choice Vegans..
veganlove: roronamrah: If a foetus isn’t a baby even though it’s fertilised, then what is your issue with eating unfertilised [free range] eggs? …eh, probably something to do with consent. because, vegans do not eat any animal products.

Does this make sense: Si tenga que elegir, elegiria seis mese en Espana y seis meses en Alemania.  So what I am asking is, do you use the subjunctive after “si” (if?) or not? Would it simply be preterite or would it be past subjunctive? Gaaahhhh.  Ok, so I think you need the past subjunctive in the...
