As a part time resident possessing limited Spanish language skills, it is hard for me to follow local current events. This is especially true after the sad demise of the BA Herald a short while ago. The BA Times, an insert in the Saturday edition of Perfil, is an offshoot of the Herald. Many...

To the extent political labels have any utility (and i don't think they have much), I have always regarded myself as a liberal or progressive. In my opinion, Trump is a pathological liar unfit to be the president of the US. The only reason he won the election (if you can call it winning after...

An interesting piece in todays BA Times by former Herald editor, James Neilson: http://www.batimes.c...-not-name.phtml 'From time to time, opinion polls have shown that in most predominantly Muslim countries a large proportion of the inhabitants agree that apostates, homosexuals, women who...

This latest piece of news deserves full disclosure. https://www.cbsnews....uck-cellphones NEW YORK — The suspect charged in Tuesday’s terrorist attack in lower Manhattan had two cell phones with 90 videos of propaganda about the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and 3,800 images related to...

The ole tu quoque argument doesn't stand up to analysis. Violent passages in the bible are largely descriptive whereas those in the KKKoran are prescriptive. In any event is the violence of the bible preached today? The bible is the word of man. It can be amended, reinterpreted, modernized. The...

<p> If you subscribe to the ideology then , ipso fact, you subscribe to the features inherent to the ideology. In my view, anyone who subscribes to unequal rights for all under the law, homophobia, male chauvinism with the attendant right to beat women, absence of free speech and free...

Any person who subscribes to the Islamic ideology is deserving of being ostracized from democratic society. Why, you politically correct types will shudder and ask. Because Islamic ideology is a totalitarian political system under which (sharia law) non-Muslims and women do not have equal rights...

Know Islam. No peace.

Thanks for the correction, Steve. It was Descartes.

Thanks for that Herculean effort, Steve, but for me, the pleasure was reading the replies to his posts, not his posts per se.

When I first came to BA my real estate agent's money man helped me to open a bank account at HSBC. A year later the bank made me close the account because I had no DNI. May I open a bank account (preferably in USD) with no DNI? I am married to an Arg citizen.

I must say that after spending the last 1/2 hour reading the posts in the several Musicman originated threads, I have a new respect for many regular posters here. Very funny.

That may be the case, but it doesn't explain why there are so few black skinned people in Arg. Did the yellow fever of the 1920s kill ALL the dark skinned people in BA? It was my understanding blacks were about 20% of the population in the early 1900s.

What I understand you to say is that under Arg criminal law there is no right to a speedy trial and that the accused may remain in prison for a long time before his case comes to trial. If so, that is bad. Are there no limits to how long an accused may be imprisoned without being found guilty of...

I appreciate your reply. thanks. However, does the pressure from the President really rise to the level that it coerces judges to do his biding regardless of the evidence? Wouldn't such judges be afraid of public censure if they deviated from reasonable parameters in executing their...

What is your point concerning Baez and Farina . Can you clarify? Yes, I misspoke when I inquired why you mentioned that 80% of people under arrest are convicted in this country when what you actually said was that "80% of people under arrest are not convicted in this country." So the cause of...

I concede there are a higher % of non whites in prison than exists in the society in general; however, I do not believe that convictions of non-whites are facilitated because those doing the arresting, prosecuting, judging and jurying are incentivized to game the system in order to...
