The thing is, at least in the city, thieves are equal opportunists. At some point nearly everyone becomes a victim of crime or knows someone who has been a victim of crime. Thieves don't discriminate here. They will steal from you if you are a tourist, they will steal from you if you are...

Sugar can be good but geared more towards the expat college crowd and they only have two large screens, which when it comes to simply watching a sports game is not really acceptable. Food is pretty decent though.

Will be at Casa Bar in Reocoleta tonight for the Mavs/Thunder game. Much better atmosphere to watch the game as opposed to Alamo, which is crowded and uncomfortable, full of people who have no interest in watching sports. Not to mention the wings are great!

The word discrimination and racism are always touchy subjects, as evidenced by many of the Argentines on the board taking the defensive. Listen,....there is discrimination and racism here but don't feel bad, Argentina is not unique in this regard. Argentines are racist against other South...

Does anyone know of a Casa de Cambio open on weekends? Name and location would be great. Thanks.

Two problems I see with this. One, I think you're assuming that a completely armed populace would greatly lower crime. It might, but I do not think it would, especially when crime in societies like in Argentina and Brazil stem from poverty and inequality. Secondly, one would have to assume...

The problem is not everyone is responsible. Especially when they're scared or in a situation that they perceive to be threatening. There's a fine line between self-defense and taking justice into your own hands, hence why I'm against this. Besides at the end of the day allowing citizens to walk...

Question. Can anyone with OSDE insurance recommend a good ENT (ears, nose, throat) doctor that happens to be on their list of providers? There are a lot but I have no idea where to start. Just to update everyone I went today to sign up for insurance. It took about 5 minutes. If they work on...

It's called humor, mixed with a bit of hyperbole and reality. You really took that way too seriously.

Exactly. It was living hell, made tolerable by nights of drunkenness and casual sex. Good times for sure....but once you get older and realize you can do all that and more with money in your pocket, you realize how crappy of an existence it actually was.

Why does everyone keep calling him a college student?! He won't be a student when he starts working. I graduated from college 5 years ago and I remember my first year out of college well. My first job was as an account manager with a gross salary of US $32,000. After taxes and and a deduction...

Good to know. I did not go to the ER but saw an ENT "sin turno". I paid out of pocket since I did not have insurance. He told me that I wouldn't be able to get the insurance company to pay for it because it would be considered a preexisting condition. So we'll see. I was planning on going back...

Yeah I will do that. The only thing I'm worried about is I already went to Hospital Aleman to check it out and the doc told me I would need surgery. But I'm going to give it a shot and let everyone know how it goes. A friend of mine also told me he had a friend who needed surgery, then signed...

I'm also thinking that I should just ask them if they have any clause on preexisting conditions? That might make just as much sense.

Hello, Does anyone know anything about preexisting conditions and health insurance plans here in Argentina, particularly OSDE? I just recently found out I needed surgery with general anesthesia after a relatively benign and stable problem for a year has taken a turn for the worse. Just trying...

What's your point? That doesn't make it right or excusable or that it's not racism. Psychological disorder aside I call it wrong and hence my suggestion that anybody who feels that way should seek out counseling to address an irrational way of thinking.

Well let me just be as blunt as possible and put and end to all this song and dance. I am black. If and when I've encountered people who are "afraid" of me based upon the color of my skin because of their "previous experiences" or limited interactions with people like me, I do find it extremely...

Being afraid of a particular ethnic group based on limited experience with said group is prejudiced, ignorant and narrow-minded. I've been held up at gunpoint on two different occasions by Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles and suffered a lot of discrimination at a predominantly Latino high school...

Right. Ergo, prejudice and/or stereotypes. Can you please enlighten me on what constitutes a South american "look"? Nearly a quarter of the population in Colombia is black, while 60% of Brazil is mixed race and /or of African descent. Bolivia and Peru have large populations of indigenous...

Short answer, this really isn't a difficult concept. Yes, it makes you racist. "Terrible" racist I don't know. Your irrational fear of people "racially" different from you based on a few negative life experiences with those people, makes it so. When I was in college my Psychology professor...
