Lennox comments on flights to medellin

Travelling during Christmas and New Years can be difficult. You might want to try a different time of the year if your budget is tight.

Lennox comments on Would a FARC victory be a terrible thing?

narco-terrorism is bad for Colombia Yes if the country was run by a narco-terrorist organization like FARC or ELN that would be very bad for the people of Colombia. In addition, FARC's communist goals would lead to terrible hardship for the people and destroy people's freedoms. Colombia would become an outlaw state receiving almost no investment, aid and greater poverty would spread.

You said nothing happened when the Communists won in Southeast Asia. Are you not aware of the Killing Fields of the Cambodia and the massacre of over a million people under the Khmer Rouge? In Vietnam it was only after they abandoned Communist principles completely and opened restrictions on private enterprise that Vietnam's economy started to grow and climb out of the severe poverty of the Communist era.

Sorry for the double post above.

BxUnika is really an amusing character. Here is one of her funnier posts:

" suggest you come to where I live in the Bronx and leave here for a few months and see how it feels to be one of two Whites in your class at school the only White in the subway car, the only White person in a Black & Puerto Rican neighborhood...."

Sounds like being a poor white person isn't much fun. Might explain why her only posts on this board before this thread were about how to find the cheapest plane tickets to get out of there.

BxUnika profile She has hundreds of racist posts and arguments on another board. Seems all she did was get into fights about blacks and hispanics daily. I suppose being from a family of heroin addicts and junkies in a poor black neighborhood left her with some severe emotional issues that we have the pleasure of facing here on this board now.

This I guess is how she met her boyfriend:

I'm an 18/f from the Bronx of Scandinavian/Irish/Polish descent looking for a handsome South American guy (especially Colombians and Venezulans). I love Latin American culture and think South American guys are beautiful. If you are 18-24 years old with a photo, please e-mail me or post on this board.

heh everyone hast their own taste I guess I only like to order Filet mignon type of steak no bones for me, but I'm not a huge steak affficianado as you appear to be. You are right that Argentina steak at places such as Cabaña Las Lilas is another level entirely.

Steaks in Colombia I was a little disappointed by the steaks in Colombia to be honest, especially after just having been to Argentina and being accustomed to USDA steak at Ruth Chris and other good restaurants. I did enjoy some great meals in Colombia, just not any great steaks. Maybe I did not go to the right places in Medellin?

Re: Bx You latched onto two sentences of my post to make a snippy reply ignoring all the rest...

"I had tio laugh when I read this. You knwo which group has the highest rate of obesity in the US? Hispanics and Blacks, not European-Americans."

That is a strange response and I'm not sure what your point is. Are you completely ignorant of the fact that most Colombians in cities like Medellin are of European descent? I can assure you there is far less obesity in Medellin than a typical white American suburb.

"Secondly,w hat constitutes acting "masculine"? Oh, you must mean the fact that we will express our opinions and we don't have to marry a rich man to rise in the social ladder anymore. "

Hah so you imply that Colombian women do not express their opinions or that American women are not looking to marry a rich man? LOL!! This is hilarious! I was not referring to money at all my materialistic Gringa. Materialism takes many forms -- it's not just having tons of stuff and being greedy for more. It is the tendency to see life and all of its issues in materialistic and non-spiritual terms.

Lennox comments on ABC Nightline Friday 9/16/05--T. Koppel to interview Venezuela H. Chavez

plantano what's the point? Ok you hate USA, we get the point. Spare us the anti-usa propoganda. I come here to read about Colombia not hear some angry person's rants about the USA.

Welcome to the internet Any internet forum is going to have some posts that are not agreeable to one’s tastes. This forum is merely reflecting the many Gringo males that travel to Colombia in search of a girlfriend or wife. A cursory evaluation shows that you have made a few posts to this website asking for information on such enthralling topics such as how to buy airline tickets. Maybe if you made some posts you could bring more interesting information to the site. Spare us the indignation and post some real information about Colombia. By the way, first you need to visit. Flights are very cheap so I’m not sure why you haven’t visited, unless you are afraid like most of the world. Colombia is one of the most interesting places I have ever visited so I highly recommended going.

Of course some posters may fit the stereotypical fat bald loser you outlined but many are not quite the type you suggested. Personally I am not interested in reading the sordid situations of men seeking wives anymore than you. The one concern you raise which is legitimate is that PBH is very high on google when you search for some Colombian information. Therefore I believe it is fair to wonder how the daily discussions portray Colombia to a casual visitor curious about Colombia.

In your post you said that it speaks volumes about the fact that men will travel thousands of miles to meet a person to marry. Maybe it speaks volumes about the qualities of the culture they are coming from. You ascribe only sinister qualities to a man who would marry a wife from a different culture and belittle all the men who find the more feminine and traditional Colombian women more interesting than the typical American feminist.

Yes, Colombian women do possess many qualities that are more attractive, namely they tend to be more family oriented, less materialistic, not extremely fat and disgustingly obese like many American women commonly are (highest obesity rate in the world). Many American women are bitter, angry and far too masculine. Of course many are not, and there are plenty of beautiful American women. However, it appears many men give up on the whole American female population. Some of these men go to Colombia.
