"...against South American Countries. This shows how strong these economies are as the dollar has only continued to weaken."

Thats all manipulation to keep import prices from South America under control.
They want to do the same with China but they dont let the gringos bully them.

It seems to be a big game, currency manipulation, just as George Soros did some years back in Malaysia. Its a game which economically stong countries use to keep weaker countries with cheap prices under control.
Currency peg is the only weapon against it.

and fungus as a means of eradicating coca plants. .... the scientists are worried about the unintended (unpredictable) consequences."

Exactly, unpredictable. People have done that so often in the past, they introduced so often organisms, animals, plants into new environments, environments they were not native to, and these 'new' species caused a lot of havoc.

My gretest worries are that reckless politicians make such decisions without knowing the background and only having their own good in mind, not caring about the others.

Just heard the latest about Bush? He thinks that man made green house gases do not contribute to global warming. Just like Mugabe who also has a lot of interesting unworldly ideas. How can we ever trust these guys?

Anggrek Hitam comments on Canciller colombiana Carolina Barco denuncia maltrato en aeropuerto de Miami

Andrea: "asi tratan a todo el mundo al llegar a EEUU"
mejor ir para Europa, alla no te tratan asi.
Unos amigos chinos que acaban de volver desde alla me contaron lo mismo.
Ademas se quejaron sobre la comida mala alla. Todo carbohidratos, grasa, comida demasiado salada. No es nada sorprendente que todo el mundo alla esta gordo y enfermo.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Canciller colombiana Carolina Barco denuncia maltrato en aeropuerto de Miami

yo se, asi son los gringos, crudos, bruscos.
Mejor: No vayas para los EEUU.
A mi siempre me mandan esto:

Parese que los gringos esten buscando desesperadamente esclavos o otra gente que trabaje duro por poca plata o preferiblemente GRATIS.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

rjstuff, what you say is true, in the USA new are often filtered and manipulated. Even USA's human rights despising actions at Guantanamo Bay only come to light in the USA as soon as someone makes noise.
If you want radio news or TV news, then better look for BBC, they at least try to be less bias and dont hide so much.
Or, well, the internet.

BTW Kogi is spelled KOGUI.

Te respondo en Ingles porque de la manera que te expresast....

Tienes mas excusas?
El titulo de este foro dice claramente SOLO en ESPANOL.

"Junio del 99? Esta como medio viejito, ¿no?"
crees que se haya cambiado mucho desde 1999?

"Ademas, no se puede creer todo lo que se lee."
Bueno, no voy a creer nada de lo que esta escrito en esto foro.

Colombuenazo...."¡Manténgase en el Tema!"
Como asi? Eso era una parte del tema.

What do you mean 50% of Colombians can't read what is written here??
FYI, the literacy rate in colombia is 93% (2003 est.

Colombiche, It seems I have to write this down for you in English.
I wrote that more tham 50% dont UNDERSTAND what is written, I didnt write that more than 50% cannot read.
Seems you are one who is having exactly this problem.

Angrekk Where did you get that figure from?.

Esa información es de un periodico Colombiano, no se si lo conoces, el nombre es "El Tiempo", http://eltiempo.terra.com.co/. Es de un articulo que leí en Junio del año 1999.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Why do Colombian people have to have new flashy things

Why do black US Americans lik Thats no typical Colombian problem.

Why do black US Americans like to have new flashy things?
Why do Indians like to have new flashy things?
In China it can even be considered bad luck to start something new with old clothes on.

Often the social environment, the telenovelas, the movies , well, everything around us dictate that people have always the latest stuff.
Look at many Malays, often no money in the pocket but the latest Adidas or Puma shoes and then naturally a cigarrette in the hand which looks cool. I always tell them smoking isnt cool, but stupid to start smoking and pure weakness if they later cant give it up any more.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Aportemos Ideas Para Cambiar la Imagen de Colombia!!

Primero hay que civilizarse, darle una educación gratis a todos los niños para que todos tengan la posibilidad de aprender, entender, encotrar un trabajo o darle trabajo a otros.
Sabeis que mas de 50% de la población Colombiana no entiende lo que esta leyendo?
Hay que acabar con las armas, con la violencia, con la corrupción. Cadauno quiere vivir. Colombia tiene que desarrollarse en un pais social, en un pais para todos, donde cadauno puede trabajar y alimentar a su familia, un pais donde la gente no tiene que pedir plata o robar plata para poder sobrevivir. Eso debería ser posible con todos los recursos naturales que Colombia tiene.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

What kind of chemical is being used is purely political. Noone really cares about nature as long as it can be politically justified.
Some years back they wanted to use that agent green already.
Luckily that could be stopped.
Just imagine if a fungus natural to Hawaii would be introduced in Colombia? What if it starts to attack also other types of plants like coffee.
To introduce willingly an alien organism into a new environment is reckless endangerment of the ecological system there.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

Yea do that, let them first spray, and later file a complaint when your health deteriorates from the chemicals and your children are crippled.

Afetr spraying its too late.
The spraying has to be stopped BEFORE it begins.

Thats everyones tactics. First cause the damage and until the international courts/community start running everything is too late.
It was like that during the Vietnam war where the USA lied about the reasons and it is so in Sudan where the Government buys time so that the Janjaweed can chase out the farmers. Later: whats done is done.
The dead cant care any more and those rogue governments like the USA and Sudan and....got what they want.

Anggrek Hitam comments on US soldiers in colombia

I hope they will be judged in Colombia for that and will get the death penalty for that.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

I dont think its so much a genocide comparison but rather the:
"who cares, Its not our country, so we dont give a s|-|!t" attitude the US has against Colombia and especially Colombia's nature.
BTW: I am against all kinds of hooliganism against nature.
For the Coca plants, there is an environmental friendy way to plant these.
Next year when I am back in Colombia then I will show the people how to do that.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

Its sad, if anyone says something against the USA's bullying tactics then its unfounded.
Actually the USA should respect the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, WWF, CIP, UNESCO, Red Cross, etc.. findings comments and demands.
If Human rights watch criticises China then The USA is the first to agree and tries to enforce their demands.
If Human rights watch critices the USA, then it is none of their business.

I found that in this forum many are too much USA minded, USA always the good knight.
These people lie to themselves. Too much bad is coming out of the USA to be a USA supporter.
At the end its all self interest. The USA does not care about the others. The USA only cares about itself its economy and its ideology.
The attack on Colombias nature MUST be stopped and if it means breaking ties with the USA.
I prefer having the FARC and ELN roaming Colombia than having the USA destroying Colombias nature.

Anggrek Hitam comments on About Fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

Its really time to kick the USA out.
No more stupid ideas from there. The USA has NO idea whats going on or how to do it better.
They destroy the entire nature.
I prefer a whole mountain of Coca plants instead of destroying plants and endangering animals' and people's health.
I know, as long as it is the farmers and Indigenas who become sick and not US Americans.
I can only repeat: USA clean your own house before you start cleaning other peoples houses. Combating addiction starts at home.

If you dont want this kind of honest answer, then next time ask:
What do people think about Colombia.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Colombian women wear the pants?

No, colombian women also wear often skirts and not always pants.
I dont like women with pants on.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Which is best: Santa Marta, Taganga, Ctga, el Rodadero?

Go to el Rodadero. Thats where everyone goes, even the locals from Barranquilla. From there you can easily discover Sta Mta (10 mts.), Taganga (17 mts.), the tayrona park and go on a 4 hrs trip to Catagena.

Anggrek Hitam comments on Smart and funny women in Colombia

I have also met many women in Colombia,

Some are fat while others are skinny.
Some are tall while others are rather low.
Some are intelligent while others are stupid.
Some are black haired while others are blond.
Some are greedy while others are generous.
Some are quick while others are slow.
Some are nervous while others are calm.
Some are beautiful while others are ugly.
Some are good dancers while others are lousy dancers.
Some are pregnant while others are not.

Why would someone want to invest in Colombia.

Your investments will never be safe.

Invest in China.

Anggrek Hitam comments on look how fast money corrupts...

Morphus, there can never bee enough or too much forest.
Brazil and the other countries around the Amazonas basin are over-doing it and why? So that the gringos have their tropical wood. These sonomabitches are actually behind it all and dont even want to Join the Kyoto protocol because it might slow down their economy.
It IS all about money. Noone cares about what is in 20 years. Most polititians' terms will have ended by then. So, why care.
