    Can I just disappear in Argentina?

    The state cannot deny you marriage because you're here illegally. They report to imigration that an illegal alien is getting married, but, I was told at a registro civil, this normally doesn't illicit a response from them.

    Looking for help with my english.

    Judging from your message, I suggest you find spoken English texts to read (or other types of texts that are of great interest to you) and that you want to take the time to thoroughly study. You are likely to be bored in most advanced classes. PM me if you are interested in paying to have...

    My letter to the New York Times

    Unquestioningly? Are you sure? Here are two paragraphs from an October 2002 Times' Editorial: Given the cautionary mood of the country, it is puzzling that most members of Congress seem fearful of challenging the hawkish approach to Iraq. Many Democrats have somehow convinced themselves that...

    Why a facade of indifference?

    I've lived in a few large cities (not the ones you mention), and there was nothing like this. I wouldn't chalk it up to big cityness. I understand, again, that we're talking about customs that all the locals are accostumed to (valga la redundancia), but I am curious to know where they come...

    Why a facade of indifference?

    Yes sir, you got it right. Pretty absurd question, isn't it? But, as you may have noticed, imitation is what humans are best at (at least everywhere I've been) . I'd just like to know how these things come about.

    Why a facade of indifference?

    Well, I think you are. Let me explain. People often won't smile at or say hello to a person they don't know. They don't have to know you well, mind you--just have to have broken the ice. Other evidence for the facade: people will often bump into wiothout saying excuse me. Cars more often than...

    My letter to the New York Times

    I totally hear you, and agree. So, do you have any specifics on the owners of the NYTimes? Specifics meaning more than just the name of its parent company?

    Why a facade of indifference?

    On another thread, somebody mentioned this in reference to women here in Argentina: "A lot of it is wanting to emulate NY, and another part is the therapist culture in BA that encourages narcissism and other bad things." Having never been to New York, but knowing that New Yorkers have a...
