    Palin's performance in debate a resounding success

    So after being what McCain says was "Viva la Barracuda" she has now been muzzled. There are no plans for her to speak to the press for the next 32 days before the election. She is sooooo good she will not talk to anyone but Fox News (maybe as she told them she didnt know her boss had pulled...

    Palin's performance in debate a resounding success

    So you want to be the leader of the free world. So you say joe six pack and soccer/hockey mom enough and your ready? She is pathetic. Every poll shows she is not believed to be ready for the job. She "didnt blink" when asked to be VP. Well if she didnt she is an egomaniac or stupid. We...

    Will the election increase expatrism?

    I do not believe Argentina is morally superior to the US. I do not believe the US is morally superior to many other countries. Especially after Abu Graib, Guantanamo, etc. And this comes from a person who served the US as an officer in the US Army for 6 years. That being said I am tired...

    Will the election increase expatrism?

    We would not move entirely as we have family in the United States. As to citizenship I do not plan on changing that because my fellow citizens have, I hope temporarily lost their mind. Every other country in this world has gone through this at some point (Argentina, all of Africa and South...

    Will the election increase expatrism?

    Yes people from South America pay bribes and a lot worse. In the NY Times INS people were getting sex from women to keep them off the hit list. Only way it became public is a woman used her cell to tape the offer. That being said if McCain and his nut job win we will be spending more...

    How Stupid will America be???

    Is it possible to discuss politics on the site without complete hysteria? Nuclear war???? How stupid can America be. As stupid as Germany in electing Hitler. I believe Obama will get the nod by a nose but its not an indictment of an entire people when one looks to an election. Plenty...

    Residency in Argentina

    Thanks for all of the information. It sounds like the best thing to do is spend 3 months in country and either return to the US, Chile or some other country in South America and let it go. We do not want our US income to be taxed in Argentina. Steve in BA thanks and take care.

    School violence in Argentina

    I love the your people are pigs...no yours are rhetoric. People are not killing each other because of crap movies from the US. As to weapons in Africa they hack each other to death with pick axes and machetes. Stop blaming the US for everything on the planet. I am the most critical of expats...

    Residency Visas

    Good point Steve. I am amused by people who go to another country and expect totally different experiences and then are upset if things are not just like home. If someone from Argentina moved to the states and copped an attitude he would be treated poorly. And vice versa I am sure. How long...
