Nice site Hellek, I will be using it the next time I am in BsAs. Bob

Thanks for the link to Why We Fight. I hadn't heard of it before. You're right. US citizens are not well informed. But in their (our) defense I would say that the world is a really complicated place these days. I find it tough to know what is the right thing to do about, e.g., health care...

Are you talking about the US? "One or two every year" over the past how many years? Bob

Do you know how the survey defined WMD? We do know, I think, that Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons on his own citizens. And I think I recall that stored chemical weapons were found. Aren't chemical weapons generally considered WMD? I am skeptical these days of all poll results. I...

No. You are right. The US is far from jerk-free. When we have discussions there are frequently dissenters. And I admit that we tolerate dissent. In fact I sort of like that about the US. Bob

This may be true of the US but I think less so than in many other countries. Certainly in the US we at least openly admit and discuss our past sins. We all know about our terrible mistreatment of Native Americans, our slavery/segregationist/racist history, our fire bombing of Dresden and Tokyo...

I don't get it. Help me understand how ARbound's statement ("The point of view is implicit that the relations are consensual. Rape, sex slavery, and other horrible acts are by their definition not consensual.") is naive.

I doubt that plastic wrap is going to stop a thief. In fact plastic wrap just might indicate to a thief that there is something worth stealing in the bag. Bob

ElQueso - It's likely a long shot but you might try contacting your Congressman - excuse me, Congressperson. Although I have no personal experience, it's my understanding that when a Congressperson's office asks one of the Executive Branch's bureaucracies for an explanation of some action the...

According to Wikipedia Memphis La Blusera split in 2008.

Are there any blues groups/venues in BsAs? Thanks, Bob

Notorious?

And which ever one I choose the people who might want to send me a WhatsApp message need to know, right?

Actually I have WhatsApp and use it. But not everyone has it - I didn't until recently. And also I am not sure how WhatsApp will handle it when I return to the US and switch sim chips. Bob

Also, jantango, I must have whatever pack I need because following Roldofo's advice I entered only digits and the result worked. Note that the phone added a few blanks and dashes on its own. So the rule is straightforward - blanks and dashes are OK so long as they are where the phone allows...

Thanks jantango. Yes, I prefer email. But, believe or not, there are still some people who do not use it. But also I've heard of some long internet outages here so a backup would be nice. The current "coberatura" plans are Local, Nacional, Hacia el exterior, and En el exterior. But I...

I am trying to text to this number: 00-1-us_number_including_areacode But I am getting this response from Personal: Personal le comunica que el destino al cual se envia el mensaje no se encuentra disponible. I've tried different variations of the us number but all give the same result...

I've never tried taking advantage of delivery. Do all supermarkets, I use a local Disco, require a credit card for delivery? Don't you at least have the option of paying cash at checkout? Thanks, Bob

But I think that at ATMs you are going to get the official exchange rate instead of the much better "Blue" rate. I've never used it, but I'd think you might want to look into Xoom. Bob

Thanks for the several helpful comments. I was especially interested in the option to buy something "sin compromiso". But I did not see that mentioned in the (rather sparse) help. And when I click on "Comprar" the very next screen wants me to "Confirmar "compra". Will the option to buy sin...
