protocol13 comments on President Gore Gore: Who cares what he does and thinks. I don't. He is a has been. Our family used to be Democrats and we no longer are and that is precisely because they make decisions based on impulse and what they perceive as creating propaganda for themselves. It is interesting that Bill Clinton did meet with Uribe in Cartagena last month and the likes of NBC, CBS and ABC did not say anything about it.

protocol13 comments on Colombian voters, despite violence, elect Congress Turnout for this election was about 40% with still about 4.5% precincts or locations to be counted 10,350,409 out of about 26 million registered voters. For the senate/house elctions, the turnout is better than the average for this type of elections. For all non-presidential elections held from 1978 to 2002, the average voter turnout was 33.77% which is bad.

protocol13 comments on 4 advantages of having surgery in Colombia Gringoinbogota: My coworker's son was diagnosed for cancer. His parents took him to what is the best doctors and best hospital in LA - LA Children's Hospital. After 1.5 years of mistreatment, misdiagnosis and almost 1 million dollars in insuarnce charges and copayments by the parents, the child died. Due the the low monetary limitations placed on medical malpractice, my friend has been unable to get an attorney. Even here in the USA, there are nightmare incidents involving doctors negligence and malpractice.

protocol13 comments on 4 advantages of having surgery in Colombia The coworker that is in charge of the Personnel department at the company I work for, had a Lasik Eye operation done by a US doctor in the Los Angeles area and had a terrible experience. She's had two additional operations to try to correct the prior ones ane now she needs three pair of glasses - for reading for driving and for working on the computer.

Venezuela's population growth rate is about the same as Colombia 1.5%, Chile's is 1.2% and Argentina's 1%. Data was taking from the EB yearbook.

protocol13 comments on Colombian voters, despite violence, elect Congress The big losers in today's Colombian Elections are the FARC/ELN, Liberal party, Peñalosa, Mockus, and those who favor the appeasement toward FARC/ELN like Arias which was not elected. The big winners where Uribe and the parties that support him and the Conservative party's #2 results higher than expected and higher than than the Liberal party.

protocol13 comments on FARC website and its Swiss host! In South America, there are other countries that are considered poorer than Colombia, yet, its people had not supported (or had the need) of a terrorist guerilla to overthrow their governments. Bolivia, Ecuador and Paraguay are these type of examples.

protocol13 comments on Uribe good for Colombia? Read the topic about Uribe named leader of the year 2005. It will answer your questions. Uribe has been responsible for turning back the tide of foreign investments leaving Colombia and reducing unemployment, reducing red tape for business owners, increasing exports and eliminating the trade deficit, etc.... The aformentioned article is very extensive and very informative. Those who dislike Uribe, will not like the detailed article that has verifiable and reliable facts and sources.

protocol13 comments on Albaro Uribe, Nominated Leader of the Year 2005 by Latin Business Chronicle Plan Colombia has been in operation since the Clinton Administration. Inspite of it, Pastrana was a complete disaster. Actually and others have mentioned, Plan Colombia was designed to eliminate or reduce the illegal drug business and at that has been unsucessful.

protocol13 comments on Uribe to run again Per El Tiempo and CaracolTV Constitutional Court has allowed Uribe to run for reelection in the next presidential election -2006. The ruling on the "law of electoral guarantees" will not be an impediment to prevent Uribe for seeking the presidency in 2006.

protocol13 comments on Football The Australian feels that Uruguay is harder team to beat than Colombia. Although the S/A world cup elimination is over and Uruguay is the team that will face Australia, I think that Colombia will have been much harder for Australia. In fact, After Maturana was fired with the national team not winning any of its first four games, the statistics indicate that Colombia was the third best team after Argentina and Brasil, with the third best offense (22 goals for) and the best defense (8 goals allowed)and third best goal differential at +14. Colombia played a great game in tying Brazil in Brazil. The Argentine sports commentator for ESPN in his final comments about the S/A w/c eliminations stated that it was unfortunate that the third best team in South America did not qualify due to Colombia's soccer players not using the "H" factor when it was needed.

protocol13 comments on Looking for ColombianoX Guillermo Restrepo/Hammer Londoño and Ricardo Mayorga. Don't know much about Restrepo's departure, but Hammer Londoño (on Spanish radio) and Ricardo Mayorga (on Telemundo/Univision), had a similar confrontations with the Mexican listeners over what many of them felt was too harsh criticism of Mexico or its National team or its idol Hugo Sanchez or Mexican sports in general. At times, Londoño received several phone calls from the Mexican listeners stating that they where going to pressure the radio station to fire him. He replied that no amount of pressure will make him change his opinion to conform to the will of this certain group. Mayorga suffered a similar fate and was the subject of immense campaign in the form of calls, letters and postings on the Univision website that wanted him to be fired for being anti-Mexican.

protocol13 comments on algun colombiano en italia? Patriacosta: Me parece que estas generalizando demasiado. Tambien estuve en Italia por un mes, donde conoci casi todo el pais. Algunas veces me perdia y nunca tuve problemas encontrarme con Italianos en ser amable en ayudarme. Tal vez, cuando uno entra como illegal, el tratamiento podria ser diferente, no solo en Italia,si no tambien en cualquier nacion del mundo.

protocol13 comments on Plan Colombia: I want your opinion GringoinBogota For what it is worth, the person who started this thread is named Taylor. In any case, to assume that the opinions that are expressed by the likes of Platano in BPH - Colombia, is that of Colombians is wrong, as he does not reflect my opinion and that of many other Colombians, in just about any issue. Among the circle of friends and relatives, many of which are of Colombian birth(like myself), Platano's and Quindioman's opnions will be the minority viewpoint.

protocol13 comments on Columbia Colombia, was named after Cristopher Columbus (Spanish is Cristobal Colon). Regarding native Indian languages, only 1% in Colombia are of Indian extraction and perhaps even less speak native Indian languages (just about the same as the USA). As for myself, I was born in Colombia,and frankly, it does not bother me if somebody wants to spell Colombia, Columbia or Kolumbia or whatever, as it is all because of language difference.

protocol13 comments on Colombia to Limit Import of Chinese Textile Products ws244 Just because some of the Colombian members in BPH flood it with anti-US propaganda, does not mean that everybody else is anti-US. If you check the postings on the Yahoo news regarding Mexico or blacks, one will think that Americans are racists and that is not case. It is a few of those that have a lot of time in their hands, that post all this hatred.

protocol13 comments on ELN admits to accidently murdering two priests and two civilians Some of the posters' s opinions remind me of how ridiculously slanted their opinions are. When it comes to the US it is the worst of all attrocities. Like the Arab news media that thinks that making prisoners stand naked is the worst of all attrocities, even a thousand times worst than beheading civilians or planting bombs in a crowded theater like in Moscow or crashing planes against buildings or using suicide bombers in buses full of children nd/or civilians in Israel or planting a bomb in a synagoge in Buenos Aires or.....

Chavez For another perspective on Chavez, check out Venezuelan Cardinal Rosalio Castillo's interview by El Tiempo of July 30, 2005, in which he calls Chavez a paranoid dictator. Also check out, Human Rights Watch's reports on Chaves' continuous restriction of freedom of expression.

protocol13 comments on Frustrated U.S. Finds Few Willing to Join Anti-Chavez Coalition Platano The Southwest US was in Mexican hands for only about three decades. Before that it belong to Spain and before that to various Amerindian tribes. There was a war and Mexico lost (not stolen). So what, it is part of the past and now is now and the Southwest have been part of the US a lot longer than the miserly few years it was under Mexico.

protocol13 comments on Juanes pide legalizar la droga para acabar el conflicto en Colombia You may be asuming that others in other countries will not be involved in a legalized drug business and will not give each other a run for the money. I can see Mexicans or Americans (remember California and Hawaii's #1 crop is marijuana, Missouri is #1 in meth production)or Nigerians or Peruvians or Bolivians or Vietnamese or Philippines or.... giving the FARC/ELN/AUC or any other group in Colombia competition for the drug business. What will be the effect of this competition? The highlands of Bolivia and Peru are better for coca plant production than in Colombia , whereas Mexico and Nigeria are closer to the demand market of the USA and Europe, and Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Burma and Vietnam have thousands of years of experience in producing more efficient poppy fields. Recently a former DEA agent and a current Judge, that support drug legalization, got interviewed at a local radio station in Los Angeles and they gave the main reason for legalization being the present failure of drug policies and the immense corrupcion that it brings. In the USA, bankers, soldiers,diplomats, DEA agents, policemen, judges, politicians, custom agents among others have been arrested for drug trafficking. It is time for drastic change as current international drug policies are simply a complete failure.

protocol13 comments on Juanes pide legalizar la droga para acabar el conflicto en Colombia Estoy de acuerdo en que se debe legalizar no solo en Colombia, si no tambien, en el resto de las naciones. Como sigue las cosas, la presente solucion no sirve ni un comino. en la era de la prohibion en USA, el alcohol estaba prohibido. Para lo unico que sirbio es incrementar la venta del alcohol, fomentar violencia entre los mafiosos por el control de trafico ilegal del alcohol y incrementar la delinquencia. Al fin, el gobierno de USA se dio cuenta que estas leyes no valian un carajo y lo legalizo. Ahora, el gobierno recibe un gran suma de dinero por los impuestos. Seria bueno que al legaizarse, tambien se cobre un impuesto alto y usar parte de este dinero para dar mas educacion en las escuelas primarias y secundarias sobre la que causa una droga adicion y para el cuidado medico de los drogadictos.

protocol13 comments on Latinos are a rainbow of colors and some of us, don't even have Spanish surnames, but, where born in Colombia. It is amusing that my nephew in his school speaks and understands Spanish and the school teachers and his fellow classmates get all confused as to how he knows Spanish, which is even more confounded with the no-Hispanic last name and my niece that is blonde with blue eyes also gets stares of confusion as to how she could be of Colombian ancestry. The fact is that Colombians could be of any race and also have Surnames that may be German, Italian, French, Danish (like the former Colombian president -Lopez Michelsen or Lebanese (former Colombian president Turbay or Shakira), etc.,

protocol13 comments on Baby names: What is a popular name for a baby girl or boy Generalizations about names in Colombia - like Martha for women and Juan Carlos for men, that is not the case in my family. In all my family, there is none with either one of these names, for men - Daniel, Edison, William, Oscar, Aaron, Hector, Efrain, Albaro, Enrique, Omar and so on... and for women Estela, Cristina, Claudia, Alba, Aura, Ester, Jacqueline, Nelly, Gloria, Marina, Liliane, Esperanza .. perhaps my family is unique or those generalizations are just that - generalizations.

protocol13 comments on ELN admits to accidently murdering two priests and two civilians Slanted newmedia like the LA Times usually report these type of article in the back pages of the newspaper. I recalled that incident in Arauca in which the Colombian Army was involved in which peasants where killed, it was not only frontline news, but, they had an investigative reporter provide a three page article. The article on the priests's murders by the ELN was no front page news , it was rather a small article, back page news. If it is an attrocity by the left terrorists, it may be reported, but, usually an abbreviated article and/or in the backand I mean back pages of the paper.
