Even swimming?

Absolutely unsafe. I have two acquaintances, one renting her income apartment, the other a real estate agent, who were robbed at gunpoint and forcibly drugged, in her case, while showing properties to "clients" who had made appointments with them. Prepare for the worst and never do one-on-one.

That's a value judgement and you're entitled to it. But I think the gist of the thread was "Argentina's going to significantly beef up its military - to what purpose?" Subsequent comments pointed out that there's not much military beef in that amount of money.

In today's world, 280 M$US wouldn't buy enough weaponry to threaten anyone. Per the article, that might have bought ten fighter planes two or three years ago. If we're going to invade Uruguay it will take a lot more than that - and the Malvinas are farther away and better defended.

... and I, but more importantly, with my wife if no crisis intervenes.

The exciting news is: now! Just got in yesterday, and plan to attend Tuesday's chat. With luck, con mi esposa.

If they include subtitles I might try one.

Yeah, Brookstone added them to their stock. A little dicey getting them on the plane, though.

Coming from New York? Will these guys like 220V/50Hz?

Yeah, Mitch, you're spot on. When he said "He was deported because he is a foreigner. Simple," it all became blindingly clear. I really feel dumb that I ever thought there might be more to it than that. God, it's good to have bajo here to keep us straight. Too bad about his NYC vacation...

Well, this should certainly answer anyone who claims that bajo doesn't have good, reasoned arguments for his positions. (And for the "registered profesional and this is all what you need to know" asserting that an Argentine can enter on a foreign passport, but cannot leave on it? My wife...

... but that's self-correcting as it eats through your stomach lining. (I'm not a fan.)

Yeah. Very strange, indeed. Nothing stops him from saying "and they told me that the denial was because of X or Y" - or that they told him nothing. Would be enlightening to know what TSA said. If there was injustice then we can get fired up, but there's a big hole in this report as it stands.

And I won't be back till next month! Damn! Pass my apologies to Mystery Guest M, please. (Is she just on a visit, or does this portend a return?)

Not true. It's the holder's choice.

Thanks for the clarification. I was about to fall asleep from boredom, but being included in bajo's mandatory Hitler reference (he's not allowed to post unless he invokes Adolf at least once a day), that's real status! I'm a little disappointed, though, that he wasn't able to weave some...

Glad to see you're getting your rest. It will make you feel so much better.

But you said he wasn't a lawyer. How could the law apply to him?

Calling bullshit on hypocrisy is not trolling. If posting requires providing detailed solutions to every problem noted, this would become a very lonely place, because all posting would stop. But maybe this post violates your third, unwritten rule: "has to agree with me, politically." Edit...

Wimps! If I would have been there I would have made everyone stay till 8:00 (or until I caught a taxi).
