el norteño comments on Another Teen Pregnancy It's also how poverty gets passed on generation to generation. A teenaged single mother is not a strong economic unit. Last trip to Colombia I met a woman who knew her tatarabuelo. Great great grandfather. Imagine that, 5 generations alive at the same time. She was actually proud of it.

el norteño comments on In Colombia, democracy is stirred but not shaken Kagan should have done more research before he wrote this. Colombia is not a "young", "nascent" , democracy. It's been a democracy since independence from Spain.

el norteño comments on Miami Herald: President Alvaro Uribe's mark will endure in Colombia Omitting Petro and the three tenors, this is a good field of candidates. No one who can actually win this thing will take the pressure off Farc.

el norteño comments on Colombian eating habits Black pepper is hard to find in Antioquia and the Eje Cafetero. Someone told me they think it's bad for the heart.

el norteño comments on I read a poll in El Colombiano newspaper. Santos was at about 30%, Fajardo 25%, the rest were also-rans. So, in the second stage, it looks like Santos v Fajardo. I could accept either of those two.

el norteño comments on Interesting night in Pereira Of course Rolo. I was merely stating I didn't think it was a professional hit. The newspaper this morning says it was a fight about a girl. I would have been more afraid if this happened in the US. It could have been some whacko trying to kill everyone in the mall.

el norteño comments on WHAT TO TAKE FROM COLOMBIA TO SELL IN EEUU? - You can bring back evidence that people in this world can live without being obese. Make sure you stop off first at Santa Marta, because they apparently haven't received that message.

el norteño comments on Three US Senetors Want To Put the Clamp On Colombian Aide People are learning that elections have consequences. If you vote for left wing political hacks, this is what you get. Obama won on image, no one paid attention to his agenda. But now, people are paying attention. Instead of rubber stamping the democrat, voters in Massachusetts elected a Republican to the Senate for the first time in 40 years. Obama and the democrats will be routed in November, we just have to hang on.

el norteño comments on Exito Busted In Venezuela Mandate prices lower than the cost of production and you will create scarcity of goods. This guy is following the textbook in destroying his country.

el norteño comments on Why Colombia is no good at football It's hard to qualify out of Conmebol. Brazil and Argentina are always going to take 2 of the slots. Colombia had enough talent to win the 94 tournament, but as someone said , there are other factors involved.

el norteño comments on Odd Things About Folk in Colombia/Medellin I can't get accustomed to the sharing the food thing. Like a stranger offering me a taste of the dish of ice cream they are eating with their spoon.

el norteño comments on A grim report for the socialists on PBH "I would love for someone to explain to me how despite being the 12th largest economy in the world, the fastest growing job market, india continues to have worest living conditions on Earth!!!!" Hindu culture and the caste system.

el norteño comments on A grim report for the socialists on PBH this is kinda silly becuase the nature of how the world world works, winners and losers, if we want cheap goods that come from overseas, somebody has to suffer a life of hardlabor and poverty. Right, because we all know, decades of importing goods from Japan has resulted in a life of hardlabor and poverty for the Japanese people.

el norteño comments on OK, I'll volunteer to get the thread back on track. Ibe, there's a Colombian consulate in LA. Go there and tell them you're planing on moving to Colombia. They'll give you the right info.

el norteño comments on Ibe, you can't just up and move to another country. Lot of paperwork involved.

el norteño comments on SHAKIRA - English or Spanish? Read the speech Simon. She's just another pea-brained celebrity spouting inane leftist platitudes. I bet half the audience walked out when she said there wasn't going to be any hipshaking.

el norteño comments on Bring a lot of mosquito repellent to Tayrona, if you are fair skinned. It's a beautiful park, but the accomodations are not that great.

el norteño comments on See a robbery? What to do? Maybe it is time for this reminder again for newbie gringos.... Million, you had me going when you mentioned the woman prodding you to do something. Thought it was going to be an elaborate sting to set you up.

el norteño comments on Would you buy a Whisky with this name? Colombian whisky? Didn't know they made any. Couldn't be any worse than aguardiente.

el norteño comments on Kidnapped Colombian governor is killed in Southern Colombia Yeah, they did it to help the poor people of Colombia. Bullshit! FARC are just a bandit army. Unfortunately, with safe havens in Venezuela and Ecuador.

el norteño comments on Watch Out Venezuela -- Aruba is Going to Attack You! But, like all comedians, the act gets stale with no new material. It's time to cancel the gig.

el norteño comments on Most dangerous roads because of bus accidents? As previously mentioned, dramamine is essential. Bus travel is slower and potentially more dangerous, but you get to see more of the country. There is some really spectacular scenery on the main road headed south from Medellin toward Manizales.
