Nacholoco comments on

yeah No justice system is perfect, I think Canada's is a bit lax in the time people spend in jail, then again in most cases the more time somebody spend in jail the worse they come out and they re-offend, and death penalty is just too much, too dramatic and prone to fuckups and killing inocent ppl. And quadruple life sentences is kinda over the top. SO in reality there is no solution, they should just drop those convicts off in a place like Sable Island and leave them there to fiend for themselves. If they manage to survive then they will start a new Australia in the north.

Nacholoco comments on Canada looking to speed up the immigration process

Canada is a good place, there are still a few things I'm in Halifax right now, been here for around 5 years. I really like it. I do not mind the huge snowfalls hurricanes etc. The people in general are nice, some are friendly and some can be real dicks too, its like that everyware. What I do find is that Canadians often compare themselves too much to Americans, for example I have asked my friends if they could tell me how racist do they think people in Canada were and most of them aswer me with a Canada embraces everyone etc etc. But when I tell them how much racism I have experienced in this place then they get all defensive and say, well we arent as racist as Americans, and then continue to say that oh its only Canada's west that is really racist etc etc becasue they are more americanized??? which in th end does not make sense at all, just admit it exists in Canada and period lol, same with other stuff too but I wont get into that. I like Canadian women though, my girlfriend is form here and I'm hppy to be going out with her for 4 years, she has been to Colombia to study spanish for 4 months and already speaks it. BTW is there anybody form the maritimes in this forum at all?

Nacholoco comments on planning a trip for March to Bucaramanga

Bucaramanga es super sabroso My whole entire family is from bucaramanga but I live in Halifax NS going to University. If anybody goes to bucaramanga and wants to go sight seeing go to Pescadero or El canon de Chicamocha, take some amazing pics and you can go white river rafting there as well. If you want to party check out this website www.pegateya.com it speaks for itself.

Nacholoco comments on Movies About Colombia

if you wanna go underground There was a movie filmed in the early 80's called Cannibal Ferox, dubbed the nastiest most horrifying flick ever made, it was filmed entirely in Leticia colombia, its funny because the acting is terrible the jungle scenes are awesome and the tribes are cool, but the stuff they show is actually really freaky and disgusting. Italian director tho.

Nacholoco comments on An approach to Colombia's situation

El punto de vista super criollo! Sr Tertius and Sebas. Sebas you have a very positive view (almost too good to be true) on the situation Colombia has faced for decades. I do not want to sound insulting but this is the kind of view I hear from the typical Bogotano who thinks he knows the situation so well because he reads EL TIEMPO on a daily basis but has never traveled to a remote location like URABA or CAQUETA and will probably never see the reality of things does not know why the paramilitary groups spurred and thinks that the guerrila have been evil ever since they started existing . People who think this way always think that exterminating the guerrilla and Paramilitary Groups is the only way to peace, and keep thinking that intensifying the war will solve the problem in Colombia. ANd Sr Tertius, you remind me of my IDS professor in Canada who thinks that "it is pretty well established FARC is for the most part a peasant self-defense organization". Composed mainly of peasnts IT IS, adding the fact that its composed also by children the ages ranging from 9 to 17 many of them bein forced into FARC . WELL established INDEED, some of their commanders have PHD's from Harvard University example SIMON TRINIDAD, vey well educated leaders. SELF DEFENCE, not any more , they are defending their COCA fields. The thing about your view is that it is stuck in the past the FARC that became after War of Villarica, its been 60 or so years and FARC unfortunately because of the stupidity of Colombia's leaders (Pinilla) (Gomez) (pretty much every president) and specially the MILITARY have grown to become 20,000 strong. The interesting thing about FARC is that they have to blame themselves for creating Paramilitary groups their ARCH ENEMY #1. Starting from MAS (Muerte a Secuestradores)and later on the ACCU after working together with the Medellin and cali cartels during the COCA boom. It can be said that FARC got too greedy and started kidnapping members of the cartels started a blooody war between them all because of COCAINE. Ha! I got you on that one. Now then comes Colombias great military leaders who were trained at the School of the Americas known for producing the worst of the worst military leaders who start aiding the paramilitary organizations because unfortunately the Military and government have always focused on getting rid of FARC without realy seeing that getting rid of the drug war between the Paramilitary grupps and FARC you get rid of both since this is their MONEY making business. Anyhoo all the US aid that came to colombia was given to the Military " BIG MISTAKE" they started helping paramilitary groups with weapons. See in cOlombia the military used to be very autonomous and did whatever it pleased behind the governments back, the government was blind to many of the attrocities they commited. And when things came to light Judges fearing for their lives would drop all charges against these Military leaders. In the case of UP massacres this is exactly what happened, paramilitary groups some organized by the military took on UP leaders after Barco took office, but thats old news every well informed Colombian knows these things. Barco seeing that thigs were getting out of hand made it ilegal for the military to aid any paramilitary groups. It used to be a 2 on 1 war now its a traingle war between paramilitary forces FARC and the military since the military is basically on a leash trying ot prove that it does not commit crimes against humanity. But FARC is no "angel" peasnt movement, they have never wanted to stop cultivating coca and keep kidnapping and using extortion killing inocent people they are as dirty as the paramilitary groups and the military. I was present at the forced takeover of Vetas Santander by FARC. Vetas was left in shambles in less than 5 hours, fortunately my room was in the basement of the house or I might of been caught in the line of fire. Their purpose for the takeover to rob the CAJA AGRARIA that at the time was the only bank in town, after 5 intense hours of fighting between 5 army men and close ot 115 Guerrilla fighters the death toll was close to 22 people, 18 civilians 4 Police and 4 of them kids. For 50 years fortunatelly the guerrilas hadnt had a presence in the town of roughly 4000 habitants located at 3300 meters above sea level , I guess its too cold and high for growing COCA and since there is no coca there are no paramilitary groups, but I'm pretty sure every person in town will remember what they did that night. COCAINE dives this war and the US is dumb thinking that spraying the fields is going to stop this problem. Sebas I'm dont want to bash Colombia or uribe but this is the reality of the situation, and Tertius FARC will never win the total support of the colombian people , you have to face the fact that their ideals are not even followed anymore and if they did follow them THEY JUST WOULDNT FLY , like COMMUNISM.

I guess i got a bit carried away
Sorry about the terrible english and spelling
