el norteño comments on Colombia's president can set a democratic example by saying no.

Constitutions exist to limit popular democracy. 51% of the people wanting something is not a good enough reason.

 

el norteño comments on Muelle Restaurant - Santa Marta

Surprised you can't get served at Ben's, never had a problem there.

 

el norteño comments on Muelle Restaurant - Santa Marta

Larry, Bananas is a hooker bar.

 

el norteño comments on Juan Pablo Montoya fueling Hispanic attraction to NASCAR

Well, at the race in Martinsville several weeks ago, the stands erupted in cheers when he passed Johnson for the lead. That may be overall dislike for Johnson, but I believe Montoya's fan base is growing.

 

el norteño comments on income tax in colombia?

60% income tax? Ahh, the wonders of socialism.

 

el norteño comments on Juan Pablo Montoya fueling Hispanic attraction to NASCAR

The Bogota attitude doesn't hurt him at all. Nascar fans like drivers with some attitude. The sport has lost fans and tv ratings the last few years because vanilla Jimmy Johnson has been dominant.

 

 

el norteño comments on EAFIT, people who studied there or are studying there, please step inside

Span, I went back and searched your review. It pretty well sums up EAFIT. There was very little structure. Almost no grammar, no vocabulary, no verbs. This was level 3 or 4, if I remember. But, we got to burn a class day watching some movie about a Caleño buying a car. Almost as fun as playing Scrabble in Spanish or Trivial Pursuit. Of course all instruction was all in Spanish, total immersion style.

 

el norteño comments on EAFIT, people who studied there or are studying there, please step inside

Your mileage may vary, but I was not happy with the level of instruction for the course I took at EAFIT.

 

el norteño comments on Chavez to troops: Prepare for war with Colombia

Just as long as you're there when he does it.

 

el norteño comments on Chavez to troops: Prepare for war with Colombia

This bobo is crying wolf too many times. Eventually someone in his own army will put a cap in his head.

 

el norteño comments on Tourist info

Which one? San Vicente, or the one closer to town? Check out Jardin Botanico UTP. Nice place to visit.

 

el norteño comments on Lost all belonging in hotel , Itagui

File a police report anyway. Create a record. Maybe the management starts taking security more seriously. It looks like a brand new facility, but the neighborhood is not good.

 

el norteño comments on FIDEL Castro Criticizes Obama for US-Colombia Deal

Yeah, it'll be too late. HAHAHHA! We'll put a McDonald's on every corner. Make baseball the national pastime, and force the population to dance badly.

 

el norteño comments on Paid section on PBH?

by the way, is the pm system still out of service?

 

el norteño comments on Paid section on PBH?

I'm a member of a soccer site. The mods use yellow and red cards to keep the rabble in control. Maybe you could implement something like that? Sell some ads on here, and pay something to the mods.

 

el norteño comments on Hotel near Bogota Airport

Here's another one. http://hoteldelpuentebogota.com/index.html

 

el norteño comments on Big Manifestation in the center of Bogota

Yeah, screw the Yankees! They're trying to take over Colombia and win the World Series too! Go Red Sox.

 

el norteño comments on Robbery in Cali Lastnight $$

There are holes in the story. ATM card was in her back pocket? WTF? Took the car keys, but not the car. Why not? There were 4 of them. Even the poster thought it was odd they followed them such a long distance. By the way, the amount taken was written as $156.00. So maybe we're talking 300K COP.

 

el norteño comments on Bogota is on fire - We try to burn

Too bad the cops didn't bust you at Portal de la 80.

 

el norteño comments on Football broadcaster Bob Griese apologizes for 'taco' quip aimed at NASCAR's Montoya

Montoya finished third, behind Johnson and Hamlin. Another good outing though. The next race, Talladega, is the wild card. Virtually any car could win it, and Johnson could wreck in the first lap and finish 43rd. F%^& Bob Griese. Always hated the Dolphins.

 

el norteño comments on Pereira Colombia "The Pearl of The Otun Valley"

I really enjoyed the city and surrounding countryside.

 

el norteño comments on HIP HOP en Parque - a short review

Hip hop is culture? Of course it is. That doesn't mean it is good.

 

el norteño comments on 14 month high for COL PESO

Simon, a strong peso kills the Colombian export sector. I know someone who works in the flower business in Cundinamarca. The strong peso is very bad for them.

 

el norteño comments on

In further news the committee announced that hereafter the award shall be known as the Obama Peace Prize in honor of the Great Leader. Seriously, this farce illustrates that Obamamania is all about hype, no substance.

 

el norteño comments on

It's a shame the word Nazi has been re-defined to the point where the original meaning has been lost. In 2009 Nazi means someone you are politically opposed to. NAZI : acronym for the NSDAP, National Socialist German Workers Party.

 

el norteño comments on Colombian Banks

I use E*Trade Bank. No fees for atm withdrawals overseas.

 

el norteño comments on

Yeah Utopia, it takes a real man to insult women in public. I admit it, I don't have the ability to yell out vulgar catcalls to women walking on the street. I can't help it, I was raised that way.

 

el norteño comments on Staying at the Pitstop - What's the Good, Bad, and the Ugly?

You're not going to get much sleep there.

 

el norteño comments on COP: Where will it end?!

Look for the dollar to start rallying when US interest rates start going up.

 

el norteño comments on Any interest in Opening a Hostel in Bogota

NJC, was that the ChapiNorte B&B?

 

el norteño comments on CHAVEZ vs. FOX NEWS

When people like Khaddafy and Chavez start praising you, it's time to seriously reassess what you are doing.

 

el norteño comments on Last flights out of bogota

It's pushing it.

 

el norteño comments on Martin beats Montoya in an awesome finish

Montoya was unbeatable at the beginning of a run. Then the field would slowly reel him back in. He lost some positions on a later pit stop and couldn't catch Martin at the end. Loudon is a great track to watch a race. but, damn is it a pain getting out of there afterwards.

 

el norteño comments on

Elmo, you're starting to like Nascar? You'll be kicked out of the cool, lefty club. Montoya dominated the race for long stretches. But, lost some spots on a pit stop and never was able to regain the lead.

 

el norteño comments on

Did he dedicate a song to that guy jailed for 2 years for complaining about lack of food on a Youtube clip?

 

el norteño comments on MONTOYA Sets Record at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Friday.

Montoya has been coasting the last month or so. Just playing it safe to get into the Chase. He's got a very good chance of being the first foreign born Nascar champion. I'll be cheering for him in person tomorrow at Loudon.

 

el norteño comments on 100 Years of Solitude - 27 th Best Selling Author

I've read a number of his books, and enjoyed all of them , except 100 Years. Just can't seem to get into that one.

 

el norteño comments on 61000 North Americans in Colombia!!

There's 45 million Colombians in Colombia. The official title of the country is the Republic of Colombia. Therefore, it's citizens are known as Colombians. The official title of my country is United States of America. It is the only country in the world with the word America in the title. Therefore, it's citizens call themselves American. Not Northamericans. There is no country called Northamerica.

 

el norteño comments on NICE SALSA AND NICE HOSTEL

I think he is referring to the ChapiNorte B&B. It's in the travel guide.

 

el norteño comments on Hungry Cuban jailed for YouTube rant

Elmo, where are all the Colombian boat people escaping to Cuba? I must have missed that story in the New York Times.

 

el norteño comments on Hungry Cuban jailed for YouTube rant

You're right Elmo, that guy got what he deserved for disrespecting his superiors. LOL Enjoy your capucchino

 

el norteño comments on Venezuela Buys Rockets from Russia

Venezuela doesn't have an internal bandit army to deal with. The tanks don't bother me. They wouldn't be of much use attacking through jungle and mountain. They are solely for control of the domestic population.

 

el norteño comments on Extortionists of a gringo busted in Parque Itagui

The story is confusing. It refers to a comerciante norteamericano. So, the guy was Canadian, Mexican, or American?

 

el norteño comments on Hungry Cuban jailed for YouTube rant

It's hard to overthrow Stalinist regimes, once they get their state security apparatus in place. The people are just too beat down. Look at North Korea. Another workers paradise.

 

el norteño comments on Hungry Cuban jailed for YouTube rant

Tasco, I think the usual suspects are going to be absent from this thread.

 

el norteño comments on Venezuela to have a nuclear program !!!!

This is where the fun and games will end for Hugo. The US will never allow him to have nukes.

 

el norteño comments on Oliver Stone

Stone's a rich Hollywood liberal playing revolutionary. Absolute wanker.

 

el norteño comments on Andres Oppenheimer Report; Says "Uribe Closer To a 3rd Term and Self Destruction"

Oppenheimer gave him good advice. Leave after two terms as a hero. There's only one direction he can go in a third term, and that is down. Fajardo is capable of running the country.
