law254 comments on Not dating colombian women It's hard to compare how dangerous two countries are. Colombia is a relatively civilized country that is safer to travel in than mexico because the police in colombia will protect you rather than kidnap you like in mexico, but there are dangerous places and safe places. Go to bogota and medellin and hang out in the tourist areas with a local and you'll be fine but have some local take you around especialy if it's your first time outside of the USA.

law254 comments on * can you identify which dictator this is from: cali373, remember a politician doesn't always deliver what is promised and a party does not always follow it's political guidelines.

law254 comments on * can you identify which dictator this is from: So everyone seems to think this is left wing, except some wild guess about G. Washington;however, many of these socialist ideals within this were not around back then. So this is no president of the USA and it's also a translation from a language other than english.

law254 comments on For those who think the Paramilitaries made Colombia "safer". communists are pretty bad for a country, but paramilitaries are bad also and function more like mafia, there's no way in hell anything is safe with them around. They aren't trying to protect anyone from che's lunatics, they're trying to gain power and get rich like everyone else at the cost of freedom, thus FARC, ELN, paramilitary, they're all out there screwing everything up.

law254 comments on COLOMBIANAS CASADAS CON GRINGOS U OTROS EXTRANJEROS stop spreading bullshit This sounds like the mad raging lunatic rants of an out of control american feminist. Did I hit the nail on the head flower? Why not just go back to your lesbian lovers and leave the PBH forum alone. I swear they're like a bunch of little girls who still have to fight with boys.

law254 comments on NYT on violence in Venezuela what can we learn from history Chavez is doing what hitler did. He needs a scapegoat, the ultimate enemy, a devil--and he is using bush and the USA. Hitler used the jews and chavez is using the USA.

law254 comments on My Combiana novia said GOD IS NUMBER 1 and I am number 2 schawwn, I understand why you feel strange about this. It's because you want to pour your love into her but you can't if she puts a wall up. The God Wall. The fact is that God is a personal relationship and is a personal relationship with all of us. We have no true requirement to tell another human being that they are secondary and I doubt God wants people to do this. Our relationship with god is a selfish thing, something internal. If you tell another person that you put God before them then you really mean you put yourself before the other person because your relationship with God is exactly that, yours. This is a personal stab and is not necessary; however, if you believe in God in the same way it wouldn't bother you. The reason she said that to you is it's a social pressure and she really didn't think of what it really means.

law254 comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot The USA is a high paying customer. China cannot pay as much for oil and shipping to china has a lot of overhead. The fact is that losing the US as a customer is a seriously stupid move by chavez. It's a fact that he will not be able to make as much money selling to china. He's a bad leader and people want him out. He's also trying to bribe people and scare people into voting for him again. I'd say between bush and chavez, chavez is a worse leader. There's no real freedom in Venezuela, I'd like to see what would happen if an american went down there to give a speech against chavez.

law254 comments on Urgent Question, Regarding The Six Months given to Execute the Fiance K-1 Visa: I've never heard of visa extensions for fiancee visas, man I wouldn't risk messing around with this, it's pretty important. Just bring her here within 3 months.

law254 comments on Urgent Question, Regarding The Six Months given to Execute the Fiance K-1 Visa: be careful with that 6 month thing Here are the facts about the 6 months. You can allow 3 months to pass and she can enter with 90 days in the USA. Then after that she starts using her 90 day period in the USA, so if you wait 4 months and you enter the USA, she then has 60 days in the USA and if you enter the USA on the last day of the 6th month you better have a plane ticket for her back in the same day.

law254 comments on Australian Girl + Colombian Guy =?? also I don't mean to trash colombia, but you need the other side of the story, the negative side. I'm a big guy, 6'2" (1.9 meters), and I'm half mexican and I feel vulnerable as hell when I'm out on the streets there and it's just not comfortable like in the USA, europe or australia. Remember a life changing event only has to occur once. Someone from colombia will say it's great and why are you worrying but they are colombian and will never know what it's like to have all the attention that being a foreigner brings about there. The fact is colombia is somewhat safe for a colombian but not so safe for a foreigner. Are you really going to bring your daughter to live in the world's land mine capital? Do a search online, "colombia landmines". In the end it's your choice and going to colombia can be an awesome thing to see how other cultures work, it's also very mysterious to us, but prepare for the worst, have your parents hold a few thousand dollars for you in case things go bad, so they can send it to you if your bf turns out to be different than you expected.

law254 comments on Australian Girl + Colombian Guy =?? don't do it first off I'd like to say that I plan to live in colombia for a short time with my fiancee. I have an online job that allows me to make an american wage anywhere I can get internet. I also enjoy being there, but now it's time to wake up to reality for you. don't do it. you move to colombia, boyfriend takes over your life and controls the money then finds a hot latina, dumbs you or you dump him, now where are you? job? well if you don't have a job how will you be independent? The laws favor the men. Teaching english doesn't really make you that much money and there's a good chance you won't get that kind of job. Sorry but this is a very very very bad idea, there's a reason why women dont tend to marry in the other direction (ie wealthy nation to poor nation) and if you do you are a serious sucker. Don't do it unless you want to really screw yourself over. If he's rich as hell, you still get screwed over if you have to leave him but now you really get screwed. Also you might not enjoy getting your ass pinched as you walk down the street alone and your breasts grabed or even crotch, which happens to my fiancee weekly. Little things like that will drive you crazy, you will be afraid to leave your house without your boyfriend/husband. Just a plain stupid idea; my fiancee thinks you're nuts.

law254 comments on Is healthcare free for colombianos? high health care in the USA There are two reasons why health care cost is high in the USA. The number 1 reason are lawsuits. People sue doctors for anything because people think they can make money out of them for any tiny little thing. The fear of litigation causes hospitals to practice policies of not refusing any patient from emergency rooms and 90% of patients should be refused and refereed to their general practitioner because their problems are NOT emergencies. So what this brings about is every vagabond with a caugh must be treated and every vagabond off the street that walks in with a caugh gets 5000 dollars worth of images and tests so that the hospital can't be sued in the future and these tests are not done in colombia on anyone. Also you would notice that these 90% of the people in the emergency room, who should visit their family doctor are looking for free care and they dont care if they cost the system thousands of dollars. If things were simple like in colombia and people weren't greedy and didn't sue then things would be cheap here also. The second reason is that they are not putting out more doctors at a rate that can properly serve people in the USA. The fact is it's the government's fault in every way that health care costs are high. 1. they allow people to sue for anything and any amount and 2. they don't write laws to force medical schools to increase output or bring about the construction of more medical schools. However, I believe in shared responsibility as well and the people that complain about the health care system and their lack of coverage are at fault as well because they are the most likely to sue and they are the most likely to abuse the system and drive up costs. The middle class family gets the shaft for what other morons do and what the government allows them to do. We just need to restructure things.
