    Wannabe Expats

    Viviana, In case you didn't notice, this woman asked for real advice on moving with her family to Argentina. I'm sure she didn't ask for this kind of jingoistic propaganda... I undertand you are trying to promote your business, but i don't think this is the right place to do it. You do realize...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    suejud, My goal here is to let people know the truth. I'm just telling it like it is... no more, no less. If you live in denial about Argentina, that's not my problem. The crime and violence are there, whether you want to admit it or not... This is not a matter of personal experience but a...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    The truth is argentine society is full of crime and violence of all kinds... Kidnappings, murders, domestic violence, sexual assaults, robberies, pickpocketing, school shootings, you name it. You don't even need to buy a newspaper to realize this. You just have to watch how the people behave. I...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    "in pretty much all of my experiences they are warm and kind and seem to always be thinking of ways to help each other out when they can." "Since my first time here, people just seem more sane and tranquil and think of each other more than themselves first." "But with the low education standards...

    School violence in Argentina

    Dudester, You totally missed the point... What i am trying to say is many people claim Argentina is less violent and more peaceful than the US, when reality seems to point in another direction. The truth is many expats on this site are very critical of the US but when it comes to Argentina...

    American Expats in BA - Look at the Bright Side

    In the 2000 election there was fraud. Remember Florida? Al Gore had won the popular vote but the US Supreme Court elected George W. So, it wasn't "tens of millions of cretins" who put him in office. At least not that time...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    I wonder what kind of Argentina YOU are living in, because your portrayal of this country is unrealistic to say the very least... With all the crime going on here on a daily basis, I don't understand how someone can claim the US is more dangerous. Besides, if you think there are no hustlers...

    Child abuse in Argentina

    If you had read my post carefully, then YOUR reply would have been quite different. Elpanada, NOBODY suggested that pedophilia is a bigger problem in Argentina than in other countries. Actually, the opposite was true. Some ignorant poster made the claim that it is less of a problem here than in...

    Child abuse in Argentina

    This link contains some information on the subject. It shows that child abuse is a serious problem in Argentina and that it has increased in recent years. It's in Spanish. http://www.chicosdelacalle.org/news0203/masabusof.html

    Child abuse in Argentina

    The claim that child abuse is less of a problem in Argentina is grossly ignorant. This is just another example of what I've been saying all along. There are some posters on this site who are totally oblivious to the reality of this country. Yet, they insist on making comparisons with the US...

    Bill and Tangobob, While I don't necessarily agree with you, thanks for posting your opinions. At least there's still some people who can make a point without personally attacking others.

    Argentine women

    I can't help but laugh at the fact that whenever some posters are challenged or made uneasy, their "respect and tolerance" rhetoric falls flat on its face and their true character shines through. Let's take a look at this guy Elpanada... It is obvious that he came here with the sole purpose of...

    "Your ranting is yet another example of the rantings I was referring to. Now you want to change the direction of this post to focus on my comments rather than the point being made." Actually, that's exactly what you're doing yourself. As you stated, you were unhappy with the comments of some...

    "I am responding to your comments because I believe that you must be looking in the mirror when/if you take offense to my comments. As you stated, it is wrong to generalize a group of people based on limited exposure to the group. If my comments offended anyone on this topic, then it must be...

    As you said, Nietzche couldn't have been a Nazi himself since he died long before WW2. Nevertheless, his concept of the "superhuman" (ubermensch in German) inspired the idea of the superior race. He became the favorite philosopher of Nazi Germany and his sister was a known Nazi supporter...
