The Disneyland POV vs. Colombia is a living hell and the most dangerous place on earth

Okay, this stupid debate keeps hijaacking otherwise interesting topics. So why not just give it a place to be aired?

Personally, I think places can be vastly different things to different people. For me, Colombia is a great place to live, I feel safer than I did, in general, living in a rough part of a major US city. That said, I don't discount the real dangers and troubles here and I realize that I live a priviledged life. But everyone's experience is different and equally valid.

Gentlemen, start your engines.
