Robert Jorge says on Apr 10, 2007, 06:05: I stopped going to CBlog a couple of weeks ago as much as I used to, because I could never log in. I always had to do a password search and I got tired of a 5 minute process just to browse the site and contribute. I hope things get back to normal. --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

He was going to do some stuff over the weekend and ran into technical difficulties. Since he's working on the blog on his off hours he haven't had time to get it running yet.

Robert Jorge says on Apr 10, 2007, 15:41: I enjoy both sites. PBH and CBlog are different, but equally interesting to me. I have very rarely seen anything that could even be interpreted by the most sensitive as "Colombia bashing" on CBlog. I have seen it more here. I would say CBlog is more reserved and dare I say mature than this site? (And nothing wrong with that!) But I have rarely fell out of my seat laughing when on CBlog. That happens often here at PBH. --"I believe in making the world safe for our children.

You know, speak to any person from the US and they will have 100 bitches about the states. Deep down they are proud of being from the US and don't despise it. The same for Colombia and Colombians on this site and in the country at times.

Simon says on Apr 10, 2007, 18:12: I browsed over that Cblog a few times when it allowed people to do so without registering and one thing that I found ridiculous was that they seem to discuss everything but Colombia. The guy who runs it claims to be Colombian when in reality he's about as Colombian as Mickey Mouse! It seems this dude just created that site to spew his pro-american agenda and bash anyone who dares to disagree with his views. This guy seemed to hate every famous colombian who dares to represent the country in a positive manner, every time someone mentioned one of our talented and prominent citizens, he'd spare no effort to badmouth them. At least here, there's no one bossing or threatening anyone else around. HERE'S SIMON!!!! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

utopiacowboy says on Apr 10, 2007, 20:07: I absolutely loathe and despise CB because it tolerates racist comments by a Mexican-American moderator who has absolutely NO connection to Colombia. None. Rien. Nada. Every statement she makes begins "Speaking as a Latina...." as though being Latina gave her some kind of instant credibility to speak on anything Colombian. If you disagree with her then she'll start saying things like "you should stick to your own people". Much worse things than are ever posted here and yet no one says a word about it except privately because they are afraid of antagonizing her. PBSH is full of nonsense but at least people speak out against the kind of racist nonsense that is a staple of CB. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

utopiacowboy says on Apr 10, 2007, 21:23: Come on, don't give me that. Somebody tipped you off. I think it's the first time you ever posted anything without starting "Speaking as a Latina". I'm not the only poster that left CB either because of this kind of racist comment. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

REYNA says on Apr 10, 2007, 22:24: UC No one tipped me off about your comment, but I am sure glad I came across it. Please stop taking ONE post I made and putting it completely out of context. You have absolutely no foundation to call me a racist. If people decide to leave CBlog that's their choice. I do not feel guilty about the fact that you left. Actually, I'm glad you did. You took the boys club with you, and I thank you for it. Too bad the serious posters at PBH still have to deal with you disrespecting women (and there is plenty proof of it here on PBH).

utopiacowboy says on Apr 10, 2007, 22:33: You're right, I don't know what I was thinking of when I was told that I should stick to my own people. How could I think that was racist? BTW, I would not use anything posted on PBSH as proof of anything other than a huge pile of BS. If you believe anything posted here you may be as naive as Manlnred.

REYNA says on Apr 10, 2007, 22:46: There you go again... Hmmm....I never said for you to stick to your own people. If I remember correctly, I asked you if "you would stick UP for your own people?" There is nothing racist about that statement. Again, you have absolutely no foundation to call me a racist.

Man Tequila says on Apr 11, 2007, 00:27: It is what it is. Poorbuthappy has given me a ton of useful info about Colombia. So has ColombianBlog. I like both sites. The useful info is still there, but I guess it gets boring to regulars who know the basics already and want to socialize, make smart ass comments or locker room jokes. Who am I to say what you should talk about? Aunque no me creas/ si me lo propongo/ lograre olvidarte/ porque a fin de cuentas/ no soy tan cobarde./ Y termino todo una de estas tardes/ no sera dificil buscar algún sitio donde refugiarme/ donde nunca mas vuelvas a encontrarme.

REYNA says on Apr 11, 2007, 00:32: Man Tequila Good point. When you become a regular poster, the topics become circular. I enjoy the variety of topics on CBlog. I think both forums have different types of "regulars" though.
