Hate North Americans?

There is tho a diffuse atmosphere of anticapitalism in Buenos Aires, even tho Portenos can show themselves extremely proud of what they own, be it goods or...women. Permanent contradiction, the previous poster was right :rolleyes:

What's a monger? By context, I'm assuming someone that hires a prostitute? I learn something new every day! Is this a European phrase?

Let me know where is the unified criteria for " moral publica " and then we keep talking ;) the fact that prostitution is not illegal, does not make it legal either, if it was, sex workers would be paying taxes, would have health insurance, etc.

Well, what is not expressly forbidden by law or the constitution cannot be deemed illegal. I guess there could be differences between national law, provincial law, and laws in the federal district.

I wish you luck in defining something so relative as "moral pública."

Fact is, prostitution itself is legal, at least in Capital.

it's short for "whore monger"
 
In other words, prostitution is not illegal, trafficing of women is. I sense the usual feminist reply "but prostitution is all about human trafficing".

It is not. Some women deliberatly choose to offer that service because it s easier for them (not for all women) to make a living that way, and in Buenos Aires, because there arent many other alternative way to make a living for a single mother.

What about moral issues? Once again, moral issues depend on your upbringing. Some countries regard prostitution as a human contact service that does have a function in a society. And this is not specificly a male (customers) to female dominating relationship. I m not talking about males to males prostitution, but females (customers) to males too. In Australia, gigolo escorting services in states where prostitution is legal is openly advertised. Some women travel to Africa or the Dominican Republic in hope to satisfy their fantasies or find a temporary solution to their lonelyness. In the netherlands, social security refunds the service of prostitutes for some disabled citizens.

There is indeed a dark side of trafficing in prostitution, like there is in other working domains, like construction or agriculture, for people who only got their body to offer to make a living (physical work force).

But once again dont come here with narrow minded feminist ideals, they wouldnt fit the environment and would give reasons to feed some xenophobia (just like mongers showing no respect to these ladies).

The easy way, for both women and men, rarely suffice to satisfy and bring happiness, men wish they wouldnt have to pay, women that they wouldnt have to get into a job that doesnt valorise them in the eyes of their family. Life is never perfect, but, as long as it s a personal choice, nobody should be allowed to intervene in the relationship between two consenting adults. Remember that Evita Peron met her husband working as an "acompanante"...

the once public lady became public First Lady. She was not the first and wont be the last lady to get social promotion/recognition by using her natural feminine assets, as unfair as it can seem for those who don t have the same power of attraction.

I hope this brings some thinking material for some preformated brains.

God, I hope I still have one (if it's a good thing).

I'm still waiting for women to offer to pay me for sex.

But I must admit I never ask.

Steeve, you are such a sweet and generous person ;)

I send you a kiss on both your cheeks!

I think it's a bit short sited to think in a way that argentines don't offer the benefit-of-the-doubt. I've always had great luck in making good argentine friends and never felt like there was a barrier of prejudice that I had to overcome with them. Orw's point is that there are people that straight up hate north americans, hell the odds of probability virtually assures that.

For people who are coming to this thread late I would like to tell them that some Argentines will hate you, others will love you, but what plays a role in both is you and no matter what Argentines will think different of you because of where you're from. However, the degree to that changes and the longer they're around you and the more you act like the decent person you are then the whatever stereotype just fades over time.

Argentines aren't more hostile towards north americans than anywhere else in the world so I wouldn't worry at all about coming here and feeling like you're behind enemy lines.
 
The word Monger of greek origin and similar to the greek term manges who were an outlaw group of men from Athens ( 1920s) who scorned conventional society especially jobs and cops. They lived on their wits end and most were addicted to hashish and heroin. Many were great musicians who created and formed the music style Rembetika ( Greek Blues)

Athens in the 1920s had a huge influx of over 1 million new immigrants from Asia Minor who were exiled from the Turkish Republic. The greek society shunned these new people either though they were greek they were different and most were now penniless and many had to turn to prostitution and drug dealing to survive.

From that period one of the worlds most interesting music style Rembetika came to be formed from the port city of Piraeus. Rembetika ( greek blues) is some of the most brutal and haunting music with its roots in the Ottoman empire.

Please click on link for the subtitled Incredible rembetika music . The last link Rembetika The music of the outsiders is an excellent documentary based on that period. This is part one but all of the 7 parts are easy to find on youtube.
