Hey Dwmte7, I am just trying to create a concensus of opinions on different things about Colombia. Now to make it easy for you, You can copy and paste and ad your sentence. Just wanted to hear peoples opinions on different things as applies to Colombia. There is nothing specific I am asking. Just quick opinions on those subject matters. But if I offended you by not being specific (real) enough with the subject, I am very sorry. Or if the question is to broad a topic, I will maybe try and consolidate. Just figured people would copy and paste, and answer the topics that they wanted. Maybe I can shrink it down, I find it interesting to get a wide opinion from a person, just not on a subject. You get a better feel of the person's sencerity.

COLOMBIAN GOV'T: ineffective, but also because the people, Colombian people think that the government should do and provide all for them... but in a country like the US, there are many chances and people know they have to work hard for them, in Colombia they think that the government should just give everything to the people.. and that they do not need to fight for it.. thats why Colombia always will be poor...

COLOMBIAN MEN: Machos and they cheat a lot..

COLOMBIAN CRIME/TERRORISM: crime rules the street, and it gets covered widely on tv

COLOMBIA JOBS: hard to find, but if you got a nice one, hold on to it

COLOMBIA BEST CITY, WHY?: Cali, because I just love it so much..!

COLOMBIAN FOODS: Unbalanced and too fat. Too much fried stuff.

COLOMBIAN CULTURE: Warm, friendly, but you always have to be very pendiente and careful about papaya. A big plus for the nature, the climate and the openness of the people.

COLOMBIA NEEDS: a better security, and people need to realize that THEY are responsible for their own future.. and not blame the government for not regalandolos everything, even in Europe people need to work on creating opportunities and chances...

COLOMBIAN SCHOOLS ALL AGES: Good quality, but generally expensive.

COLOMBIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM: Hmmm

COLOMBIAN ARMY: Strong and good!

COLOMBIAN DRUG WARS: Should be more intense, but it is hard bc of the bush.

COLOMBIA MEDIA: don´t like the girls that present the shows, they are all the same.

COLOMBIAN CELLULAR SERVICE: expensive, but good quality.

Como se ve que a usted nunca le ha faltado la comida o el techo. Como dicen por ahi la ignorancia es atrevida. Sabe que le puedo dar incontables ejemplos que conozco de gente pobre que hace (honradamente) lo que usted en su vida no haria, para llevarse un pedazo de pan a la boca. Pero con gente como usted no vale la pena discutir.

there's tons of info on all these issues in the search box (above)...i've posted on just about everything over the last 7-8 years as have so many other oldies here.

the best answer, which concisely covers all your queries, is come down, open you eyes, heart,etc; tether your opinions, get out of the cities and get to know the greatest folks in the world. you wont regret it.

bueno, mi linda......i'm a gringo, and i spent 19 years there and most of that in el campo, so in comparison to most foreigners, i've had an incredible experience of colombia. too, my experience started with the inauguration of caesar gaviria, i was a guest. he went to school in my home town in california.

well, i've had the incredible experience of getting to know mother colombia from the so called top to the so called bottom, including insurgents in eastern antioquia. the gente are the best in the world. for them to expect more from their govt than graft and corruption, greed and theft, hardly makes them--the people--lismosneros. think about it young lady/ not from a position of one who was born and raised with priviledge, but rather, try through the eyes of those who weren't/aren't.

elmo-nator says on Jun 24, 2008, 11:53:

Well, everyone...you know what they say..."An opinion is like an asshole...EVERYONE has one!" After living 40 years in the US and only months back here to Colombia...I have to agree with Monita.

COLOMBIAN WOMEN: Jealous and many of them are very arrogant.. badly dressed... a downtown jeans and matching cheap tank is NOT stylish...

The OPERATIVE word here is: "many"

I can make this comparison from experience and what I have seen so far. I first lived in Bogota a few months before moving to 'quilla. You can go downtown/El Centro and the many of the women you can see dressed in tight-ass stretch-jeans and tiny cheap tops with their huge bellies hanging out. To ME that is just tasteless (it's like "spandex" not everyone can wear it and wear it well). I can ADMIRE the hell out of a beautifully-fit Colombiana bare-bellied in some form-fitting jeans, but, C'MON....and truthfully, what is admirable about a woman (especially the older ones) with her stretched-marked, pot-belly jiggling out over some tight, ill-fitted jeans on display for EVERYONE to see...like its a thing of "beauty"? WHO here is attracted to that? Seriously? When I first came here, I was like "Whoa! Is this REALLY the style?" It's tasteless and cheap; NOT style! It may not be ALL over Colombia that you see it, but there's ALOT of it here. You couldn't catch me dead with MY stretched-marked, pot-belly on display to the public (I have a bit of pride still left in me...I pack it well). It is a matter of class!

As for: "Jealous and many of them are very arrogant" ...I could care less WHAT another woman thinks or says about me (if you aren't sleeping with me, trust me on this one)! If a woman has the gull to stare me down and frown and comment on ANYTHING about me, "honey, it's because you are jealous!" And you should be!!! It is obvious I got your attention and your nerve. I HAVE gotten alot of that since I've been here. I don't "look" Colombiana (yet). I still don't fit in. The accent and the way I dress are definitely not from here...I command a strong presence about myself; possibily "intimidating"...but that is who "I" am! I don't look my 46 but, like I said, I can admire the shit out of a beautiful woman and give her all her dues. Colombian women are the most beautiful in the world and I am proud to be one. But when, some "wet-rat" from some pueblo has the nerve to say she is of a better class than me (and I just MIGHT have been "insulted"...if she had been beautiful)...it's not arrogance anymore...it's IGNORANCE!

Like Monita, this is just my opinion (and trust me on this one...I have a HUGE Colombian ass)! ;)
