crazytrpr: UnkleKrakker: crazytrpr: Been to Bogota, had a ball and the women are HOT. But alas my stay was too short ;o(

I know what you mean, Central America was the most dangerous place I was ever stationed, because the women were way too distracting and the culture was amazing. Would have retired in Panama if I'd stayed in.

Good times in Panama I hear (never been). I buddy of mine was down their recently, it's a bit more expensive now. Improving standards of living and all.

Bogota wasn't too bad were I was staying but I was well away from FARC country. And the women, god in heaven!!!! You never had to look back because there was another hottie up ahead

Yep, Colombia definitely has some of the hottest women in Central/South America. Moving back to Panama at the end of the month... But will cross through Colombia to get there. Unfortunately, Panama isn't one of the countries that has hot women...

You're not looking in the right places.

But, I can tell you right now, there will be no war between Colombia and either Venezuela or Equador. Both countries know that Colombia has the best trained (by the U.S.) military in the area. And they outnumber them 3 to 1. Sure, Venezuela has some new toys, but it won't take very long before they're gone.

The problem is that Chavez is like a rabid chihuahua. It barks, you know it can't hurt you, but you look like the idiot when you drop kick it across the room. He will do his sabre rattling and such, but by closing the border, he is harming his own people. Venezuela imports an amazing amount of food from Colombia. He keeps this up much longer, and his own people will oust him...

This will fade very quickly...

UnkleKrakker:
You're not looking in the right places.

Most of the girls in the pic are Colombianas... Yep, there are some beautiful women, but typically they aren't Panamanian. Not complaining though... My previous GF in Panama was Colombiana... Looking forward to another...

I don't think they care, Brasil has their own problems plus all they do is drink dance and have sex.

Cause their women are fiiiiine.

Oh and don't forget that their women are FIIIIIIIINE.

You do realize that Panama was once part of Colombia...fact is, if they were born/live in Panama, they're Panamanian.

The hot women in Panama were Columbian imports from what I heard. Could be wrong.

But yes when it comes to Columbian women, spetacular is not an exgeration even with two and three kids. God I wanted to pick up a contrat there real bad ;o)

UnkleKrakker:

Yep... I know that, and I keep thinking, "What happened?"...

Unfortunately, I keep dating the ones that aren't citizens. And, right now, Panama seems to be having a little racism problem with Colombianos. Don't understand what they have against them, but, for some reason, the government just keeps wanting to deport them. They've actually changed the laws to be unfair to the Colombians... I wish they would get over it...

czarangelus: UnkleKrakker: OK, so you've basically abandoned your point about the evil whitey keeping down the masses?

No, but someone's bound to say that "They don't speak the native language or practice the native culture anymore so how can anyone be racist against them!" and I'm going to go slit my wrists in despair.

UnkleKrakker: /and I'll just assume you haven't been outside today.

Outside enough to go to work

*ahem* They don't speak the native language or practice the native culture anymore so how can anyone be racist against them!

Get to work. Remember, down the road, not across the street.

now this will make oil go to one million dolla an ounce.

Goddamnit, Czar, would you farking learn to make your links pop?

There's a goddamned BUTTON for it now, for Christ's sake. Just change your fark preferences.

rubi_con_man: Is this our cue to side with Colombia and invade Venezuela, ensuring a higher price of oil, Cocaine and coffee here?

/How do you invade an oil-producing nation and not have MORE oil?

Oh, Hugo, you're such a pendejo.

/Cisco Kid was a friend of mine

Does anyone have a map of Venezula's major highways & oil pipelines? I'd like to make my own assessment as to the viability of a naval blockade and my google-fu is not up to the challenge.

Thanks in advance.

czarangelus: buckers1: did DulceEtDecorumEst stump the all mighty czar?

It's obviously a difference of interpretation. Things are different in Colombia depending on if you're the mostly-white descendents of Europeans, or the dark descendent of the natives. I think this whole cocaine thing is way overblown and overrated; leave it alone.

So yeah. It's like asking a white person on Wall St. vs a black person in Harlem about police brutality.

I read the article, they haven't dropped anything yet. It's just a bill in congress by some anti-drug nutjob.

z_gringo: Colombia. God dammit. Colombia.

My God people, it has been headline news for over a week now. COLOMBIA

Just give up! This is Fark.

Chavez will always be the good guy and that country will have a doomed space shuttle name forever.

Get even: Start saying "British Colombia" he he.

FARC ceased being solely a terrorist organization long ago. They're in it for the money now. If that means they have to be violent sometimes, they will.

BravadoGT: crazytrpr: The "good of the people", "The revolution" "change" and "a new day" are just words to sucker the young idealists or the ignorant. The people incharge know better and in the end you exchange one A$$hole for another just like you do here. $0.02

You forgot "hope."

Hope can be usefull. But it depends on the hope you're selling? How is it going to be paid for and by whom? Who benifits and the expense of whom?

I don't drink the kool aid if I can help it. I understand politics as a spoils system that can sometimes actually does something and good (rarely).

Can somebody please point out that it's spelled "Colombia"?

haha. the US isn't doing a farking thing. we have no significant interests in that region. as far as our government is concerned, they can duke it out and we'll deal with whomever rises to the top, as per usual for our southern neighbors.

Chávez won't be very popular once their oil production drops and he can no longer artifically lower the price of oil in his country. The people will reject him the moment that happens. It is only a matter of time since he is not putting any money back into the oil infrastructure and instead using the little profits left in failed social programs, the system there will fail, it is only a matter of time.

You want to shut him down faster? then just stop refining his oil in america, done and done. Unless he can get that one tank to run on heavy crude oil.

don't worry it is not your fault that latin people can't spell Christopher Columbus properly.......

This is a very big deal
/Columbian

Jubeebee: Anyone know what Brasil's take on this is? Because with the US tied up in the Mid East, they're the regional heavyweight.

I've been following this story as reported by the Brazilian media, as they have more interest in this story considering they're not going through an over-covered election and they're in the region. Brazil has offered to mediate talks between Colombia and Ecuador, and there have been no official communications between Brazil and Venezuela because Venezuela has nothing to do with a Colombian incursion into Ecuadorian territory. Brazil's official position thus far is that Colombia should offer an unconditional apology for the incident, since the violation of a sovereign nation's territory is never acceptable, specifically in this case where Colombia acted without a prior request for the Ecuadorian government to arrest the FARC members.

As far as armed forces go, there is no indication that Brazil will mobilize troops along the Venezuelan/Colombian/Brazilian border. There are only about 20,000 troops in the entire Amazon region, but they're on alert should anything happen. 500 special ops could be moved from Goiânia to the tri-border area within eight hours, but this is not at all likely as no one expects actual confrontations between the Venezuelan and Colombian armies to take place. The whole thing is a populist move for Chávez to distract his people.

And if all Brazilians did was to dance and have sex, I probably would not have moved to the US, though I am glad that Brazilian foreign policy is respected as being very sound, unlike our domestic policy.

rather it should be ask a black person about police brutality in the suburbs of TN, the naggers beat the cops up in Harlem, they aint got sheeeet to worry bout in da hood

I guess all your time spent in Harlem led you to this conclusion.

It's not a matter of interpretation. It's a matter of you not knowing a good goddamn thing about Colombia specifically. There is not a big racial divide in Colombia, since there are almost no indigenous people left.

He-he +1

That was a "Do you have blacks too?" in-reverse moment by czar there!

Does Fark really mean that much to you?

Really?


Sorry. My line was better.

I think it more on the lines of that he doesn't care if you pop one in your own head.

/defending czar in this thread... WTF!!

I'm Columbian, so I'm really getting a kick out these replies.

I lived in Colombia for a year as a foreign exchange student. In a city fairly close to the Venezuelan border, actually. It is a really nice country and the people are extremely intelligent and light-hearted. It is not uncommon for most young people to go into some sort of engineering. And the women? Oh...My....Dios....

Never been to Venezuela, heard it WAS nice though. Everyone from there seems to be very cocky as do people from Argentina. Look what has happened to those two countries in recent years...

/Carma?
// or Columbia?

FTFA: (Ecuadoran president) Correa (said) "the region will be in danger, because the next victim could be Peru, it could be Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, any one of our countries."

That's a FAIL of presidential proportions there. Last time I checked a map Bolivia and Colombia didn't share a border.

He's just making noise to distract the fact that he and his Defense Minister were cought making friends with FARC.

I meant distract from ....and...caught...
