I did a quick search in spanish to see what I could find. Had never heard of 'dove huntng'; looks to be an expensive hobby to kill animals for fun. Here is an interesting article from a few years ago I found in la nación, see below. The prices your friend was quoted seem about right from what...

The blue now down 8% today; market volatility anyone? : https://m.ambito.com/dolar-hoy-por-que-el-blue-se-derrumba-6-n5062530

So, where was lunch in the end, did you discover any gems worth sharing on your drive ? :D

According to this short note from 2014, Chile had the widest inequality gap of the 34 countries the OECD looked at. That's exactly why it is misleading to talk about how the Chilean economy is 'strong' and 'wealthy' or has 'the best economic indicators', without giving a more nuanced analysis...

A somewhat different analysis from the progressive left, see below. Are the chickens coming home to roost for the Chicago Boys? Maybe, time will tell:

You are clearly unable, or more likely unwilling, to follow your own logic. Remember you think people without economics degrees can't opine on the topic. I was merely telling you to be consistent and not respond to me unless you have the relevant qualifications. Not surprising that you hold...

Hey, sorry to hear about your experience. As you say, it could have been far worse! I did a quick bit of gogling in Spanish and it looks like you've followed the right procedures (police report etc). Have a read (Google translate if needed). Probably nothing new, but worth a look as has a...

Edit: I meant ThwDonald (I mix up the right wing trolls sometimes )

You mean under an hour between me calling out retitedwanker, suddenly what appears to be the embodyment of everything he criticizes appears and starts posting all over the place, while retiredwanker suddenly takes a break from posting... Could it be Clark Kent?? :P

I think you are too kind. This isn't the bug, it's the feature. After a point it becomes clear that certain posters are simply disingenuous and trying to propagandize. Even if we are kind and assume they are genuine but ignorant and swept up In their delusional narratives. It becomes pointless...

Funny you should say that. You give the impression that you have some sort of formal academic understanding of economics, yet you often comment on what are clearly political sciences and social sciences based issues. I wonder why you dont't apply your, convinient, reasoning to yourself...

Ya, I mean it's not looking good, I'm just trying to hold out some hope is all... ;-(

If they are still adding then maybe we can hope for some better names to appear yet.... Fingers crossed....

This article on the topic is far better in my opinion. Cheers! "The tango, a traditional Argentinean dance, is typically associated with strong, dark men and long-limbed women acting out sex in dance form. Or, as Julie Taylor, anthropology professor at Rice University says, “over-the-top...

So, Musical Chairs? Now all the K's come out and the M's will go in? The heavily compromised and politicised judiciary seems to go in the same direction as the political power concentration of whichever executive cabal is running things at the time. It would be comical were it not for the...

Seems reasonable. Though on the other hand, it gives trolls the defacto ability to shut down a thread they don't like by posting off topic until it's locked. Could end up backfiring, but I guess we will see how the policy develops over the next months etc. Thanks for the reply, Cheers!

Hi! I noticed several threads being blocked for further comments recently. This hasn't been happening for many months, since the new more open approach was put in place. Has there been a policy change in this respect? Thanks in advance, Cheers!

If you do read through, you will see that transphobia has marked negative social repercussions, as heavily evidenced in the link. Assuming your outrage to protect children is genuine, you should really reverse your attitude as it causes more harm than good, not only to children of course, but...

I mean, you may want to read through the entire link I posted and then perhaps re-evaluate your views. Unlikely I know, but you did ask "and?', so there you go. Cheers! ;)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transphobia "Transphobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes, feelings or actions toward transgender or transsexual people, or toward transsexuality. Transphobia can include fear, aversion, hatred, violence, anger, or discomfort felt or expressed towards...
