    Bribed by a Federal Police Officer

    You've been in Argentina how long? This is standard practice. You need to get out more.

    Looking Back...

    Actually if you look at the stats the U.S. comes in at number 9, Argentina isn't a whole lot better at 13th when it comes to fat people. http://www.infoplease.com/world/statistics/obesity.html

    Looking Back...

    I actually see things from a North/South perspective rather than East/West. Yankees versus rebels. How do people in the Southern Hemisphere keep from falling off as their heads are pointed down?

    Looking Back...

    Living in Argentina or anyplace else basically gives you a broader perspective. Doesn't mean one place is bad and the other good, everything is relative. What you find is things are different, sometimes bad different, sometimes good. What it does do is make you more appreciative of certain...

    Where should I go to college? US or Argentina?

    Don't listen to this moron. U of Minn. is located in Minneapolis is a very nice city, but very cold place in the winter. They are not rednecks, the average education level is one of the highest in the U.S. Make your decisions based on the facts and what you want to do.

    Where should I go to college? US or Argentina?

    Where are the jobs or what you want to do when you graduate? You should go to a school where you mostly likely end up working or having a career in your chosen field. You seem a lot more together than I was at 18. I didn't have a clear idea what I wanted to study. Don't be surprised if your...

    database comparing cost of living between 2 selected cities

    I would add that Vancouver is probably the most overpriced real estate market in the world, certainly in North America.

    Argentina ( Highest inflation in the World)

    This is my view as well. There's no desire to control but they may have to change after the election, I don't think this can go on much longer without serious problems resulting(probably there will serious problems whatever they do this has gone on for a long time now). 2012 could be a very...

    Argentina ( Highest inflation in the World)

    I have my own thoughts but what do people believe is causing the inflation? How can or will it be brought under control?

    Immigration visa TO the U.S. for an Argentine?

    Assuming she gets the tourist visa go to an immigration attorney in the states when you get there that can layout the options.

    For those thinking of coming

    Sure people can cook at home and get around the food problem but the point is most of the local fare is pretty boring and bland. I wrote my short comment asking if anybody would move some place with all these attributes. There are a lot of places worse than Argentina and some better. My point is...

    Want to expat! Hungry for knowledge

    I made the same point to him earlier, he didn't respond, my guess it is a joke. Moving to Argentina for perceived increased political and economic stability would be like moving to Mexico because there are now too many Mexicans in the states. Argentina over the last 50 years is the poster child...

    Want to expat! Hungry for knowledge

    This is obviously somebody pulling our collective legs. The sites he lists are ridiculous. One he calls out more than once is quote "If that's not enough, there's a video at http://www.endofamerica38.com that proves the US dollar is about to be worthless". He doesn't say its possible but that...

    Been down here 3 months and got beat-up & mugged

    Of the countries rated most safe in Latin America two border Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Whats different in Chile? Mainly respect for law and order, and respect for the police. The police there do not take bribes...

    Been down here 3 months and got beat-up & mugged

    Not sure arming the populous in Argentina would be wise especially if they handle guns like they handle other technologies like automobiles. However, one of the first people I met in S.A. not in Argentina was a gentleman that always carried a gun(he had a permit). He always wore it so it could...

    Been down here 3 months and got beat-up & mugged

    Not sure I understand your points, isn't inequalities basically the same as saying some people are poor some are rich(i.e. the same thing I am saying)? The article from the World Bank isn't an article, it's a report 40 pages long, too long for my limited attention span, perhaps you could...

    I think you are right and things could be turned around, but I doubt the current government is going to do much as they fear of losing support from their electoral base.

    Been down here 3 months and got beat-up & mugged

    When you have a lot of poor people you are also going to have a lot of crime. The situation seems to be getting worse which would indicate more people are falling into poverty contrary to government INDEC statistics. If people have jobs and can make enough to live on decently then they usually...
