Ok. You seem to praise Italians (and Argentines, the descendents of Italian immigrants) as being "honest" when they do not say sorry. But then you say Italians are supreme liars. Then you criticize the English for being false? Brilliant. Who has the cluttered mind in this convo. It's the Italian...

On the one hand, you say English and Canadians are fake and imply that Italians (and Argentines) are honest. But before that you say Italians are skilled liars with a million excuses. Do you realize your credibility has sunk low with your contradictory stereotyping?

I am a 27 yr old dude living in Oklahoma. I've visited Argentina before and thought it was cool. Obviously, a person who visited doesn't have as good knowledge of a country as a person who lived there. So I googled "argentina expat" and found this forum. I just wanna say I enjoy reading the...

Hi, I'm a lurker who reads posts here because I am thinking about being an expat in B.A. I think you overlook the part where the negative people say Argentina has great potential to be a wonderful country. People here aren't negative because they think their country is better. They are...

Okay, you're comment makes better since to me now. However, society is getting better on race, but it is far, far from rosey and bright.

The funny thing is, you never truly notice the extreme weight problem of American women until you're in a room full of them or you go to another country where the women are thin and come back to the U.S. Hell, I'll admit I can take a little chubbiness. But these women are shaped like milk...

You seem to be unaware of the treatment the Irish get from the English; or the Catalonians and Basques from the rest of the Spanish; or the Southern Italians from the Northern Italians; or the Ukranians from Russians. In Europe, people who are the same skin color can show the most extreme...

This is the kind of stuff I've been reading on this forum. People say they have or they'd like to hire Argentines but then Argentines will try to steal, scam, or sue their employers instead of doing hard work. So, from what I can tell, Argentines DO have opportunities; they just choose to be...

You've obviously never seen the poverty of the Native Americans on their reservations, for one thing. Some of those people on the reservations don't have running water and electricity. The United States is similar to Argentina in their treatments of the natives has turned them into an invisible...

During the Cold War, when the Soviets invested in Cuba, the average Cuban had better education and healthcare than the average person in the States. Despite all that, Cubans still immigrated to the States. Hell, Europeans have better healthcare than people in the States yet they still move here...

Obviously you've never been to Oklahoma. What's so silly about my statements? I find it silly to say that people who live in a richer country are automatically much happier and much better off than a poorer one. How long have you been in Argentina and out of the States?

The U.S. still has a high number of hate groups. Last time I checked, Argentina didn't have hate groups. Ironically, most of the racist stuff Argentinians get about violent black people in Chicago and Brooklyn comes from Americans themselves. And the average person in the U.S. is far, far...

The majority of Americans work in customer service making minimum wage. This country also lacks adequate healthcare and infrastructure, and there's huge debate toward cutting off welfare and social security. This is also the same country where the avg citizen only gets 12-14 days of vacation...

Americans don't kiss because our society prides space over closeness. It's paramount in all forms of U.S. society. It's not because guys want to be macho. I find this hilarious how someone could say Latinos don't feel they need to be macho. Isn't machismo a Spanish word? Machismo is a huge part...

I call 'em limeys as a term of endearment. You've never been to the South, I see.;)

You guys should see the debate with Limeys about their nationality. They don't like being called British. They prefer to be called English or Scottish or Welsh.

It's always the same thing, isn't it? Every country is competing for the most beautiful women you've ever seen award. Last time I checked Italy had them. Before that it was Brazil. Before that, Argentina. Before that, Greece. Before that, Sweden. Now in this thread it looks like Czech are the...

Hi Ashley, good blog. I think Brits love to be miserable in their own country but want to be happy other places. I once read on a Turkish expat forum an English woman complaining that she didn't have enough funds to stay in Turkey so had to go home. She said the thought of going back to England...

I'm not an expat. I was a college foreign exchange student who lived a few months in Buenos Aires back in '07 and loved it! But I plan on moving there some day soon. Funny thing I noticed: Brits are usually the most cheerful expats of any place. I've met many in places here in the States like...
