Well said. Perfect anecdote, I've met tons of people from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the west side of Los Angeles who have never set foot in the south side (except USC) or east side of the city. The things they know about the other side of "their" city are the things they learned from movies...

Honestly, whether people want to admit it or not, that's what makes the site half interesting....when it remains civil that is.

It really isn't hard to read between the lines of what Johnno is saying, it's just based on another conspiracy theory--that Jews are somehow "running" things behind the scenes and that there is a American/global conspiracy to force their will on the masses. This argument, at least in the US...

Since you've alluded to it so much you might as well say it.......Jews. Problem is a lot of people who seem to "run" things in America are also of the non-jewish, anglo, male extraction.

A society that evolves has to be critical and introspective. That means discussing the real issues that might hurt your feelings such as "food" and "bratty children". The difference is I'm expressing my views on a Buenos Aires expat message board on the worldwide web, not at a demonstration en...

Yes I know cabrera. Argentina good. Argentina utopia. USA bad.

I never thought about the dictatorshp and its impact on discipline. Good point....that could be it. For the record I did see an Argentine woman sort of discipline her child yesterday. It was a sight to behold and I was proud. The little girl decided she was going to throw a tantrum while her...

When you say high class do you mean middle class or wealthy? When I think of the middle class I don´t think of high class. I can assure you the mother with the demon children that lives below me does not have a maid. My apartment building is definitely not posh, and the children I´ve seen act a...

Please, get a thicker skin. It's food. East coast people trash my city all the time. I had to listen to it for nearly 6 years. It doesn't bother me because I don't expect everyone to love LA. My point was this is an expats board, where most of the people are folks born outside of Argentina...

Food doesn't have to be spicy in order to not be bland, and spicy food is not necessarily flavorful. If done badly it's just spicy.

Cabrera you're on an expats board. Maybe you should leave if you're sick and tired.....I'm just saying.

Sara Sara I think sometimes you just have to admit a country's shortcomings. Just as a lot of Americans and Australians are obese, Argentina's food is re-bland. And this isn't just commentary from Americans, Aussies, and Europeans....it's from other Latin Americans as well, from Mexicans to...

--Cream of mushroom with chicken and brocoli (like a chicken pot pie) --Refried beans, cheese, touch of salsa for spice, and jalapenos (chicken or beef optional) --Potatoes, cheese, sour cream, chives, and garlic --Seasoned steak (like in a cheesesteak), bell peppers, and cheese --Pepperoni...

Mexican-American war. If it was indeed "stolen" then its fair to say that a great deal of land redistributed in the aftermath of war has been "stolen", including the Paraguayan land "stolen" by Argentina and Brazil in the aftermath of the Paraguayan war. That's not to say the cartoon is pretty...

Could today be the start of it? The wind seems to be picking up today.

Sarcasm man, it was sarcasm. I meant to put "brethren" in quotes.

You'll get nowhere with this. Europeans (and it's all across the board from Italy to Hungary) have been trying to justify the overt discrimination and prejudice against the Roma people for years by labeling them all "thieves" and "pickpockets"--generalizing here. Conveniently glossing over the...

Wait a minute Alex. Are you suggesting there's no racism or xenophobia in Latin America?!! Seriously?! There's definitely racism in Latin America.......it's just a lot more subtle and indiscreet, but believe me its there!! Case in point, why doesn't anyone know that Colombia is a 20%-25% black...

Wasn't there a debate about this in another thread? I believe an Argentine lawyer was stating that this was not correct and that income of 2k a month was sufficient to obtain a rentista visa. Can someone verify this and correct me if I'm wrong?

Thanks Gunt but I already studied economics in grad school and I am aware of the term. All "snideness" aside of course.
