morten66 comments on Scary news story about kidnapping

Mr.Hollywood and Mr.Gringo In Bogota Mr.Hollywood - Great that you post your views, so do I, but I am sure you will agree with me that it is a shame that some right wing "know it all" like mr.Gringo in Bogota has to post his asshole comments to everyone that actually posts serious topics?

Mr.Hollywood - keep it up and dont mind this creature that obviously has nothing better to do.

All the best to you - M

Mr.Gringo Just to clear up a few facts.. at the moment the UN and Nato is now fighting your wars as though everyone was opposed to your wars - you did it anyway. The US owes the UN fortunes as somehow you seem unable to pay what you have promised. As for world war 2 you did not get involved until after Pearl Harbour - and probably found it in your best interest to join the war - or maybe you like me would not be able to critiscise today.

Talking can usually get you a long way, just see how far the other alternative has gotten your country and the rest of the world lately.. As for your sacrifices, thats great... but as Europe still is democratic and people are allowed to think for themselves we hopefully will continue to disagree with the USs hunger for war and conflict. Some people in this world still things disagreements should be solved peacefully and with any means possible before going to armed conflict.

The 300.000 US soldiers killed was not to liberate "my land" it was just much in your own defense or have you forgotten that you also were attacked by allies of the same ones that we were fighting? We were occupied for 5 years - and I assume the Japs did not attack you just to "pay a visit"? we were in the same boat...

Maybe you should get a hobby instead of talking down to people all the time. I am done arguing with you as I have better things to do and this site is about Colombia anyway. M

Puerto Wilches & Gringo in Bogota As for finding out about historically/navy persons, I suggest you contact the naval/maritime museum in Cartagena as they have or try to have records of everyone enlisted and do contineous research. They are also sponsored by a number of nations to research the history of events and persons - that would be my best guess - and they are very helpful. Good luck and all the best! M

As for mr.Gringo in Bogota : dont you have anything better to do than to slag otter people of..? I have read your heartfelt story about a street kid, seeing the light, becoming a marine, boxer etc. maybe it is time to learn how to behave? M

USA and their much needed "help" The only "help" the US has given the world this century is making the world a very unstable place... As much as I would love to discuss this with you - I really cant be bothered as everyone outside the US allready knows this...

McDonalds, Fighting terror, Guantanamo, Kyoto - Just keep it coming, after all we dont have a choice - we have to take it (you got the guns, so you are obviously right!) -

John Wayne for president!

Gringo in Bogota Please check out his profile "griongo in bogota" and his postings - I rest my case.. a rightwing, redneck that loves a bar fight and loves to see police "sort people out the way it should be", ex. military violent street boxer... I appreciated your comments - You are a true embassador of your USA as the world sees it these days! Unbelivable!

Rock on!

History Somehow.. history must have passed you by... Look at your countrys (I take it you are American) involvement in Central America throughout the past few decades... And what are you talking about visa to the us? I went to school there and have one, what the hell has that got to do with anything? We are still talking about Colombia are we not?

You guys are great! ignorance is a bless - that is why the world loves you all!

Hello Mr.Gringo In Bogota It is funny how you slag my comments of how the system works and the problems concerning it. Now that I have read your posting, it is remarkably funny that we very much agree. We both love the country, though one major difference - You as an ex.US soldier that get your visa/permits just because of your nationality, is to critisise someone from another country that is not "bought and bribed" by the all righteous America... Great! A bible in one hand and a gun in the other - and whoever does not agree, well - kill them.. very mature thinking.

After reading your heroic escape from your hardcore street life, maybe you are one of the ones that should keep a more open mind to other people and what they have gone through... I love Colombia, but you slag me of because I dared to critiscise the allmighty US... You see - people from other countries have different problems with visas etc. And for the boxing part... too bad you are to old but I was 2 times Scandinavian kick boxing silver medalist in the 65kg class when I was younger... Lived pretty much like you described it, now employ 18 people in computers and real estate (quit school when I was 15) - So open up your mind a little...atleast before you pass judgement.

Apart from that - Good luck and all the best - Morten

Well... If being convicted of lack of paying taxes makes me a hardcore criminal.. then I suppose there are a lot of us... I have never tried to bribe the DAS... I just mentioned that the ones that do, obviously have an easier life than the ones that try to do things right. I employ 18 people and are hardly a threat to society. I am just making a point out of how they handle their affairs and the unfairness/corruptness of it all... As for the US.. well, look at what the world is coming to...I dare to say that central/latin America would be in a fairly better state if they had kept at home..

morten66 comments on How safe is Cartagena?

How stupid is this question? The Colombians have obviously been given a bad reputation by (mainly) the damage the US has done in this region over decades.. It is a relatively poor country, in terms of how the wealth is being distributed, but this is a far safer country than Brazil and Venezuela (given that you don`t make a principle out of it and venture into the zones guaranteed you have been warned about), the thing about this place is that everyone is sick of war, everyone has their family war stories.. and can still sit around and talk about it without - seemeingly bitterness, at one stage everyone get`s enough and want`s to move on - Colombia... I think, feel, is moving on - without predjudice in a far better scale than the US and Europe, we should learn. As for the dangers... use your head, safer than the two forementioned continents on a saturday night...
