We agree that we can t agree on anything, just for the sake of it, Istar ;) Here is some more of the 80s british classics subliminal marketing. That s where i learnt by horrible english. Right or wrong

In France, you ll get 100% free full quality medical care and 600 USD per month. You will also get your rent paid, which can go up to 4500 USD/month in Paris. The solidarity health care system is called Couverture Maladie Universelle (Universal Heathcare) and as it s called, is not reserved...

Power has always been a strong attractive feature for the beautiful sex, Berlusconi doesnt need to look for intimate offers, they come naturally, like for Mitterand or Clinton. But the guy is so unpopular outside of his borders that this punch in the face must have been a true release for...

I don t know about Canada, but apples in France are cheaper too, mainly due to the overproduction induced by european agricultural funds. We sell some food to Africa that is being produced there, at cheaper prices than local production and make them dependent on our productions for the same...

Argentina lives mainly off agricultural exports. It s its global specialization and its competitive advantage, being a large underpopulated country with fertile soil. This didnt prevent the Kirchner governement from reducing voluntarely the volume of exports in its war against agricultural...

Bush will always be the worst president He might have to dispute that title with Lyndon Johnson. Both lead to ruinous wars and castrophic economic situations. They both came from Texas, but this shouldnt lead to any quick conclusion ;o)

Orwellian, you wanted to talk about history? What about starting a thread about "Hate Europeans?" so that our US american friends can have their moment of glory without needing to throw tomatoes on Argentines... After all, we are the ones who exported our misery, values, arrogance to the...

Two quick reactions to Istar who loves the quotes pingpong game. Since i like to please... All I can say is poor is the country who's survival depends on another. Doesnt make sense, since we live in a globalized world with interdependent economies. Each economic zone has its specialisation...

Only if you give the cash to a humanitarian association ;) And here is the menu : -Patriotism as a vector of integration for expatriates. or - Ethics of globalization. or - The legacy of Baby Boomers in history. Anyways, my vote goes for that entry tax.

2 nails in the coffin of Coherence. The first one supported the idea that putting entry barreers for citizens of a wealthier nation wouldnt make sense because of the dire "need of resources", the second one supports the denial of the entry of Canadians who have no reason to settle in a country...

The same paranoid distrust applies to Canadians or British citizens. Read the following story of a couple with those nationalities that couldnt cross the US border from Canada with their own vehicule, while being able to prove their financial independence ...

( -> From France, read "location") Sarkozy is our president because we wanted Mickey Mouse and he was the closest for his small height, his nose and his visible ears :) A caricature is not meant to represent a reality, just to draw the main traits. I travelled around the US for a full year...

I certainly dont understand THOSE expats who chose to come down here but expect everything to be like back home. I m undoubtedly not the only one to be surprised by their inability to find pleasure and happiness in a slightly different environment. What was their motivation then to leave their...

The government does need the money, that s for sure. They wouldn t ask for another IMF loan if they didn t. Out of the 1600 USD we paid to get our vehicules out of the port of Buenos Aires, the real costs didn t exceed 20%, but we paid much more than in Europe for much lower salaries. But the...

Coming from the Alps, i know too well the toll adventurous minds are paying for their need to live their life intensively.He died young and daring and will be remembered as such. He will stay with you, be it in your memories and who knows take care of you from that other summit we will all reach...

Where are the argentines in your ranking? (that s the topic) Should making love have anything to do with performance anyways, unless you are getting paid for it? Doesnt the way you are making love depend more on your personality than on your nationality? Doesn t the way you are making love...

I realized after reading some posts here, how some expatriates could get really homesick. The hairdresser is one example, the way of driving another one, dating a local a final one. They seem to express some kind of cultural pride from their country of birth, how things works so much better over...

Over more than 100,000 miles riding around the world, the only place where i crashed was...in the USA. It gave me a chance to discover the local culture more in depth (Louisiana, Cajun country) staying with a family there while waiting for my knee to somewhat get better...and discover than...
