These brainwashed Jesus freaks are a real menace in the US. The Westboro Baptist Church (http://www.godhatesfags.com/) sends picketers to military funerals (funerals!) to rant about how American soldiers getting killed is just God's way of punishing the US for allowing homosexuality. Seriously...

Oh, knock it off.

This is absolutely the biggest problem I have with Argentina. While people from other Latin America countries tend to complain about Argentine arrogance, it's not really the arrogance that's the problem. The real problem is that, for God knows what reason, Argentines are encouraged to act as...

Yeah, I used to show my Argentine girlfriend stuff like this (on this website and others) and she'd laugh a bit at the silly foreigners (with plenty of money and/or some stable, developed place to return to should things go wrong in South America) who found paradise in Argentina. After a while...

Pericles, you sound like those folks who convert to a religion and then proceed to take it FAR more seriously than those who grew up with it. Okay, you love Argentina. You found the promised land, champ. Enjoy. But, man, what's with all the animosity towards the US and Europe and Australia...

When I was living in the south of Spain in 2002-2003, unemployment was already pretty high in the south and amongst people 25 and younger it was something like 25%. Now the entire country is at 20% so in the south and for young people it must be very difficult to find work. Is Spain still...

Yeah, honestly, Americans can be accused of preferring watered-down coffee but even the stuff we water down tends to be pretty good. Most coffee in Argentina, on the other hand, is downright terrible. It just has to be a supply issue. All of the best coffee from Brazil, Colombia and wherever...

Local standards? C'mon, this is getting a bit silly. Are there women out there who wouldn't tolerate this sort of thing back home in the US or Europe or wherever but decide they have to clean up after their man in Argentina because that's the "local standard?" If that's the case, I'd like to...

I think it's imperative for every young person who has the opportunity to go abroad--whether to work, study, travel or just be a bum--to do it. And not just short vacations but months or years spent outside of one's home country. Getting out of one's comfort zone is key. And while it's...

It's clearly time for AlexfromLA and billsfan to duke it out in the octagon, possibly for the affections of the alluring citygirl. Turn off those telenovelas, people, the real drama is right here at BAExpats.org. ;)

Like this isn't true everywhere in the world. Maybe some cultures require people to keep quiet about it more than others but, c'mon, everyone wants a little strange from time to time. This again? Yawn. There are plenty of people in Spain and Italy, and of Spanish and Italian descent...

For the final, I'm betting on whoever that German octopus chooses.

Hah! Well, there you go, ladies. Problem solved. Now you know where to look. And maybe if you're really lucky, you can meet this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI58wj4b4g0 He prefers to do his socializing at private clubs AND Dos Equis. Now that's class. Suerte, ladies! ;)

Alright, enough about household chores. If someone wants to mop in exchange for shoes, they're free to do so. Back to dating... Maybe this advice that an Argy dude gave me for picking up Argy girls will help the poor frazzled foreign ladies of BAExpats.org better understand Argentine men...

Agreed. And, honestly, it's difficult for me to respect anyone, male or female, who allows themselves to be treated like a servant by their significant other. To each their own, of course, but don't go blaming a country or a culture or whatever for your choices.

While I agree that Mamminger went way too far in his/her rant above, I have a hard time seeing how it's "racist." I've read a few accusations of "racism" against Argentines here at BAExpats.org and it leads me to wonder exactly what "race" people are talking about. Most Argentines are folks...

Yeah, customer service in the US is so damn great. But, at least for food and alcohol, this is because a server's/bartender's compensation is directly tied to how well they treat you. While the US national minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, "tipped labor" jobs can get away with paying a minimum...

That cabrera is a serious loon.

Is there anyone out there who has actually renounced their US citizenship in favor of Argentine citizenship? Doesn't seem wise...
