The message i get from the poster is : - Controlled prices : bad - Free markets : good which leads me to quick conclusions about his political orientations and how far he has been influenced by his environment. The problem is deeper than that. With a real inflation reaching 30% a year...

Thanks for your argentine point of view. I digress with you when you claim it is IMPOSSIBLE to understand other cultures. Difficult, may be, depending on your personnality, but impossible certainly not. Our brain is an incredibly flexible machine, keeps making links and desabling others. If...

Right on the point, Emily. What amazes me most is that those expats dont even understand how their attitude is patronizing. They have been brain washed to the point that they truely believe those beliefs forced up their throat since their earliest infancy are universal values and that they have...

The answer is obvious i ever wonder why you ask : it s affordable. Rise the penalty at 300 pesos PER exceeded illegal day and tourists will start to feel more concerned about their Visas.

As a photographer, Argentina will be a paradise for you eyes. I m not a professional but everyday, i m filled with the beauty of the environment that so few people seem to notice. Take some spare cards, you might shoot more than you expected to. Beauty is everywhere, from people to nature...

Be aware that some cabs are VERY eager to change your 100 pesos bill, trying to get you conterfeit bills. That s not a very clever game to play.

Strange, i feel just the contrary. I m a smoker and i feel i m smoking because i lack of power/control on myself. My smoking is casual, mainly provoked by other smokers. That "social" smoking shows more a will to adapt than a will to dominate. I have no clue why argentine women smoke more than...

I digress. French fries are the base of the classic us american fast food meals. Healthcare is not only about healing, it s also about prevention. Diet as a matter of fact is right ontopic. You will be able to find out that many threads here have been started in honor of our US friends, and i...

Just a quick reminder Mini. This thread is about "American healthcare". It s meant to talk about healthcare and America with a big A, USA. I m simply trying to stay on the topic. Check titles before throwing your venon too quick, save it for when it s really worth it ;o)

Since only females bite, you should feel flattered, you sexy mo'er f'er :)

No no, they were invented by Mr Mac Donalds ;o)) You know...the famous americentrism... French fries are not more french than the french dressing in the US. When i was a kid it used to be a daily meal and kids would only want to eat that, but with the development of obesity, it s being...

The choice of the word invasion is interesting :p Right in the topic ;) A bit like the choice of liberation for Iraq :) My grand father got arrested by nazis for placing the stars and stripe flag on his house when he heard yankees were arriving, if only he knew it was actually an invasion and...

Believe it or not they still have PUBLIC channels there, who arent sponsored by the food industry! And they talk about such boring things like renewable energies, terroir, history, philosophy. They even have political broadcasts that dont aim to tell you who s got the biggest, but do speak about...

And the french debt is still classified AAA by international rankings. There is something wrong with the international financial system, how can a socialist country with such lazy people giving away their cash to foreigners get the best rating :eek: Their banks didnt go bankrupt in 2008...

If this is a waste of time, why do you even bother answering, Mark, unless you have time to waste and do it deliberatly.:confused: Orwellian is trolling, that s his way of enjoying his free time. Nothing obliges you to feed the troll unless you enjoy it as well.

Why should argentines be necessarily dishonest. It sounds again very culturally discriminating.:eek: I bought two items on Mercado Libre, both argentines came to deliver the items to my place, the description of items was honest and sincere and the transaction satisfactory. They even took time...

I talked about my desease concerns to a friend motoquero who hosted me in Formosa, in the far north, where dengue actually kills people. He laughed. When i said i was european and my immune system was a bit different, he laughed louder. The risk to catch dengue in Buenos Aires is minimal. I...

Why is spelling so important to you, Steve? English is a language that doesnt respect phonetically what is written, so how does this change your understanding of the sentence (a written i can be pronounced [ai] (site)/[i] (situation)/[e](bird), unlike latin languages where it always keeps the...

Nobody claimed it wasn t Mary. The message is ,since you can t change a reality just by writing messages on a board, you can, or avoid to drive, or drive and adapt to the local way of driving.If you try, you might or might not enjoy it, depending on your personality. Hangliding is dangerous...
