diabloblas comments on What is A Paramiltitary Group?

in the usa it's a liberal police department...the rest are fascist gestapos

diabloblas comments on Could you recommend a colombian city to visit?

i gotta agree with robbi...cartagena is a one of a kind city for visual delights as opposed to cultural ...one visit is enough but being my usual transfer point to & from central america i never tire of passing thru it

diabloblas comments on What are you doing to help the actual Colombian crisis?

i'm referring to guys on this site like you robertjorge...

diabloblas comments on What are you doing to help the actual Colombian crisis?

it's always the ones who never witnessed combat who want to go to war

diabloblas comments on WARNING: Spirit Air

charging by total weight for flight tickets is the fairest policy that i can think of...but looking to hear more & probably will from people with overactivefork disease

diabloblas comments on WARNING: Spirit Air

seeing as weight is becoming an even greater cost of flying with fuel costs i think they ought to charge by total weigh of customer & his luggage...fair policy i would think

diabloblas comments on What are the first things you would show a friend visiting you?

hey rikito...nice bio you have...

diabloblas comments on Mexican students condemn Colombia raid

ecuador has other borders to protect as well billyb...& it has a much smaller army...& a lot smaller subsidy from the states ...it's like the states blaming colombia for exporting cocaine to the states...if the people in the states didn't pay for it colombia wouldn't ship it...no more problem ...the states also blame mexico for not guarding their borders & keeping their citizens fenced in...but the migrants risk their lives to go where people will pay them for manual labor...quit paying the illegal immigrants & the problem is gone the states...& their puppets like to blame everybody else

diabloblas comments on Iran To Build $230 Million In Nicaragua; Bush Administration&Condi Arroz Not Pleased,,,

in the states they don't nationalize private property...they eminent domain it for private development

diabloblas comments on Iran To Build $230 Million In Nicaragua; Bush Administration&Condi Arroz Not Pleased,,,

costa rica pulled the rug out from under american expats in the 90s...it was a democracy then & remained a democracy... democracy doesn't necessarily protect freedoms or property

diabloblas comments on Mexican students condemn Colombia raid

How can the colombian government expect the smaller ecuadorian government to control the same boundary they cannot do themselves?

diabloblas comments on

I'M concerned about the pantyhose

diabloblas comments on What if Colombia goes to war against Venezuela and Ecuador?

have any of you armchair warriors ever been in a firefight?...i think you're all a bunch of blowhards...probably shit in your pants.

diabloblas comments on Fed up with this guy

what narrowmindedness by the op....shoot or ignore the messenger...

diabloblas comments on WHY SHOULD I GO TO COLOMBIA FOR A SURGERY?

madronna went to cartagena to get his stomach made into the size of a ball sack

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

chomsky just didn't understand that 911 happened because they hate america's freedom ...now with the patriot act & the demise of the need of a court order to order surveillance of anybody..bush has greatly reduced our chances of being attacked ...why doesn't chomsky get it?

diabloblas comments on A little networking: Mexico anyone?

tj dangerous?...there yesterday...no problem...more problems within 20 kilometers north of the border

diabloblas comments on kill who?

i don't want to debate that answer gringoloid even though i agree with some of it ..i really am trying to pose an honest question that perplexes me & my immediate family...my son says hands down robertson should get the harshest sentence...slam dunk ...me?...i don't know for sure. ...i do believe that randy duke cunningham... the ace fighter pilot of the vietnam era ... should have gotten a heavier sentence than the guy who bribed him...but that didn't happen

diabloblas comments on kill who?

there's no doubt that an educated pat robertson is a little off his rocker claiming that god speaks to him & there's no doubt that the mostly illiterate pakis chanting for the death of salmon ruskie for writing a novel are equally crazy ...the question is: which side should be held most accountable for their actions if somebody takes them up on their requests ...to whom would a western culture court of law give out the biggest sentence ...this is a question i ask myself & family ...i witnessed both parties in person...they both scare me...albeit in a more secure environment when in the presence of the "reverend" stateside than surrounded by islamics in rawalpindi & islamabad

diabloblas comments on kill who?

pakistan has a less than 50 % literacy rate

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

well gatogris...your buddy hitchens still thinks the iraq war was & is a good thing...pathetic people who can't admit they are wrong...just like hilary & mccain, huckabee, romney bush, cheney ...obama & chomsky were right on that one

diabloblas comments on Arepas y Yuca

i love arepas...but my chloresterol tests say to lay off..lol

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

very well said huskie...he also had good company with the late barry goldwater who called the mining of nigaragua's harbor a terroristic act of war

diabloblas comments on What will become of Colombia in 10 years (and therefore, us)?

things change...what's good today isn't necessarily good tomorrow for travelling ...quit the bitching & show some adventure by finding other frontiers...

diabloblas comments on

if it's a semi solid oil at room temperature then forget it for porn films

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

he's a pacifist billyb...left or right

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

you're right aztec...they didn't listen to norm on the iraq war...to their detriment they will be paying for this a long time...their kids & grandkids as well

diabloblas comments on Noam Chomsky's statement supporting the vigil on March 6

agree greg..but you'll get crucified by many on this poor excuse for political debate thread... ...same can be said for howard zinn...his book the people's history of usa is another good read that many flag pin wearing so called patriots hate as well

diabloblas comments on Colombia Peso Falls on Concern U.S. Slowdown to Hurt Exports

make no mistake...money is important to me...but without freedom money is pretty much useless

diabloblas comments on New Travel Advisory?

christan...you can make blanket statements about safety in afganistan... you need to get the protection of a chief & an ak toting guard to walk around that country...& even with this you only have access to a small geographic area

diabloblas comments on Panama to Colombia - Looking for Captain & Boat

GO to san cristobol yacht club in colon...ask for dock master...his name is wolf & his boat is the papillon which can be seen from the bar ....buy him a beer ...put you name on the bulletin board by the laundromat with where you can be reached...check out the bulletin board as skippers leave their messages there as well ...while your waiting ask around to be a line handler through the canal...super fun job...

diabloblas comments on Canada's Better Than Colombia?

canadian sky divers jump from american planes because of canada's insurance regulations

diabloblas comments on Ortega threatens Colombia not to "touch" Venezuela or else.

columbiche...the earthquake was christmas of 72...i was in managua at the time...so was howard hughes...he was at the intercontinental...took refuge at somoza's palace when martial law declared & then private jet out...i was late getting back to the usa for christmas which i did back in those days...fires were still burning when i left ..the usa recognized william walker...an american filibusterer supreme...as president of nicaragua...in return he reinstitutionalized slavery...a very embarasing quid pro quo agreement i'm sure everybody who has any sense of humanity must agree...even those america right or wrong bigots that pbh seems to have more than its share of

diabloblas comments on Canada's Better Than Colombia?

if you have money colombia has it all over canada ...if not...canada has it all over colombia

diabloblas comments on Ortega threatens Colombia not to "touch" Venezuela or else.

yes yes yes guys...but reagan meant it as a scare tactic... & as we know now what we all suspected then...he was deteriorating mentally & had many gaffs mixing up truth with his cinematic military career... reagan had more than contras on his mind...there were the godless commies & the evil empire...wasn't it on his watch when we commited an act of war in mining their harbors...purely a terorist attack as they were only strong enough to solicite an emotional response. ..poor old nicaragua has suffered under manifest destiny, the monroe doctrine & its own strategic geographic location over the years...resulting in the states occupation for most of the 20th century...why else is baseball the number one sport? .

diabloblas comments on Canada's Better Than Colombia?

canada: gdp 1.2 trillion per capita $36K colombia 374B per capita 9,000 life expectancy 77 m 84 f 68m 76f literacy 99 % 93 schooling 6 to 16years 5 to 14 years weather...slam dunk colombia

diabloblas comments on Ortega threatens Colombia not to "touch" Venezuela or else.

i remember reagan warning the states that the nicaraguan threat was only 3 hours away

diabloblas comments on Political hypocrisy

I am sure there is someone in here with some good economic sense can discuss this much better than I can. thanks for that gem rikito...

diabloblas comments on Cuidad Perdida and the guides...

wilson from miramar hotel base was our guide for 8 guys...2 porters in addition...all nice enough guys...food was good & enough of it...wilson had a small snack or 2 inbetween the 3 meals a day for all of us ..coffee was ready early in the morning which is one of my favs...personally brought along some ron that i shared & some smoke as did a couple of other guys...no problems with the crew. ...strongly recommend doing the museum in santa marta before trip.

diabloblas comments on Finca El Paraiso cabañas in Tayrona

i haven't been to tayrona during carnival...how crowded does it get during that time ...i haven't camped more than a few days in tayrona but in 3 different places & didn't see the need to pack much of anything i...relied on the camp restaurants & stores ..interested in hearing some more...as i think tayrona is a keeper

strobers...how did they force your family out of the states...did they take them in a bus?

diabloblas comments on dead gringo found naked in cali

that's probably how i'll go...but i've pretty well exhausted my bucket list

diabloblas comments on

i stick with my commetn slguy...i said modern countries...muslim countries are not very modern & treat their women like shit..with an exception here & there...hussein incidentallly modernized iraq... ...though they all to a person say they put women on a pedestal...like my good catholic father...but at the same time they tell them to stay there & keep their mouths shut....

diabloblas comments on Oppenheimer Report: Tied- Bush and Chavez Ranked Equally In Popularity with

rikito...i have a purple heart also...just one but a big enough one to get me sent home via germany...& then i started marching & the usa government accussed me of being a traitor...put me in jail...beat me up...but i did get laid a lot doing the marches.... ike sent the first advisors in...kennedy escallated it with right to shoot back...& johnson gave us orders to shoot first & nixon took it to even higher levels invading nam's neighbor ..i have no skeletons i'm ashamed of other than not challenging my government earlier... ..i wasn't at woodstock...but sure wish i had been ...the first communication i had with you rikito was instigated by you when i made a 15 word statement that was to anybody's reading half in jest...you even admitted it might be..but then you went on with a 5 paragraph phychoanalysis of me & calling me names...no big deal as i don't back away from a verbal fight... ...so i look at your bio & see how much you think of yourself...wow...truly impressed

diabloblas comments on

kalder...what oppostion are you comparing the usa to?....it doesn't rank first in any category except military & jails & it was one of the last modern countries to outlaw slavery to give women rights over their own body...shit women didn't have the right to vote for 50 years after slavery was officially but not practically eliminated. ..having said that i would like nothing better than to have a person of color or a woman president...but neither of the two in question is worth voting for...but they are both far superior to what the states havde at present. ..i you are a usa citizen you better pray that if there is a god....it isn't a black woman

diabloblas comments on Oppenheimer Report: Tied- Bush and Chavez Ranked Equally In Popularity with

incidentally rikito...i marched in the 60s for civil rights & against the war..got beaten & jailed... & yes you can be president without being able to make a coherent sentence...bush is living proof...he even brags about not reading...what the fuk over?...now he knows we all have a soul & wants to repeal a woman's right to abortion "Babies can now survive outside the mother's womb at younger and younger ages," bush said. "And the fingers and toes and beating hearts that we can see on an unborn child's ultrasound come with something that we cannot see: a soul."

diabloblas comments on

they were living very well in iraq...no freedom of press but everything else...much like china today but not quite as free for individual dialogue... ...i have no hope for most countries with an official religion..like china's official athiest stanze...but you can practice any religion you want but if you bring it into the political arena they will crush you

diabloblas comments on

because the don't envy the usa...they hate the bombs & without the usa they were living very well...especially before gulf war 1....

diabloblas comments on Oppenheimer Report: Tied- Bush and Chavez Ranked Equally In Popularity with

kennedy did no get 90 % of the catholic vote rikito...catholics are overwhelmingly republican...my catholic high school voted nixon resoundingly in 1960 as did the rest of the l.a archdiocese i read you bio...i understand you like thailand...twice.. ...colin powell is a disgrace...an uncle tom...without him bush probably wouldn't have sold this war to the american people...he also doesn't remember when truman integrated the military...if he does he pulled the ladder up on the gays...
