Stupid shit in Medellin

[Gabacho]

Gabacho, that is called political interference, plain and simple. USA screams blue murder when it suspects Russia or another country trying to influence votes in USA, yet it feels at liberty to sanction another country bcos it doesn't like the president. Talk about hypocrisy.

Recent elections in Venezuela were heavily monitored by international monitors, incl The Carter center, and were deemed fair. Only USA thinks the elections were not. No surprise there given USA wants to turn Vnzla in to a vassal state like Colombia, so that its industry can take it resources at unfair prices. Note. Colombia is slowing taking steps to move away from that unholy situation too.

Gabacho. Not sure where you read the Vnzla presient can only run for 1 term. I see nothing about that.

Sorry it was 2 terms not 1 term, but Chavez removed that in 1999. So basically if that had not been removed then maduro shouldn't be running again because he has already served 2 terms.

Also he has a habit of wrongfully detaining the people running against him. There was some woman who was trying to run for president and he arrested her on some fake charges so she couldn't run. So yea I guess that is deemed fair.

But JustTK says that it is the US that is making these countries do bad, by imposing economic sanctions, for example. It really just boils down to politics. The US does not want Nicolas Maduro to be the president of Venezuela. If he and his regime were to step aside and allow free and fair elections and peaceful transfer power to the next elected president, then the US would lift the sanctions and Venezuela could become more like Colombia. However Maduro refuses to step down and doesn't even respect his own country's constitution which limits him to one term.

He's more or less correct. The US ran things in Cuba for decades, our companies controlled all their exports. The wealthy in Cuba profited, the US profited and most Cubans suffered. Castro led the revolution and the Communists took over. Between sanctions against Cuba and subsidies to keep the price of Cuban exports low, the US ensured economic conditions in Cuba would not improve. The history of South and Central America is filled with examples of US attempts to control countries, with everything from economic sanctions, to weapons supplies, to assassination.

The US was running things in Venezuela until Chavez came along. The US was running things in Iran until the student revolution. Add in the wars we've funded and we've long been creating waves of refugees. Sometimes we welcome them, other times we shun them.

But we refuse to accept responsibility for them.

But ...

My question to you is that does it work?

Well, the orange idiot didn't allow a peaceful transfer of power and of course does not respect his own country's constitution so I guess the Yew Ess is leading by example.

Just my two unsolicited cents. Migrants hate being migrants. They would much prefer to stay in their home country and prosper. Economic instability and economic imbalance are the main drivers of migration. When things get better in a home country, you see less migrants from that country. Trends in migration to the USA are a direct result of us doing great and their origin country doing bad (economically). Improve the economy in an origin country and watch migration from it decrease. I won't get into political instability, because that affects economic stability, so the end effect is the same.

I agree with you 100 percent. I spent a lot of time in the Dominican Republic. I never talked to a Haitian that would not prefer to be able to live in their own country. But it was exactly as you said, political, economic instability led them to look for other opportunities outside of their own country. But in that sense I am a migrant also. Because I left my country of origin for the same reasons. Difference with me is that I don't want to go back. LOL!

More than suggesting. Its very obvious. As well, most of the South Asians, Middle Easterns and Africans in to Europe too. Don't you thikn bombing Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc has consequences? And all the despotic Sub_saharan leaders that they support bcos they allow Western companies to enter their countries to exploit the resources and people.

So you're suggesting that it is the US's own doings that are causing the diaspora of migrants to come to the US?

To all of you Male "Karens" in here. Please do us all a favor and disappear. You know who you are. Your not wanted in Medellin either. Stay in your lane,in the states. That is all.

Aren't you the idiot who said ItagüI was an hour's drive from Poblado and myself and JJ has to correct you that its like a cpl metro stations to the south literally like 5 minutes. LMAO.

Some of us actually live in Medellin.

Perhaps you should study Google maps a little more before you venture out from mommy's basement.

[Gabacho]

But unfortunately that is not possible with the USA sanctioning countries in to oblivion and the West's persistent imperialist mentality. You reap what you sow.

The reason to arrest illegal Venezuelan immigrants entering the US would not to be to ask the Venezuelan government for anything. It would be to deter more from coming.

Most people around the world don't want to become refugees or illegals in another country; they do it bcos of need. They would much prefer to stay in their country and live a fulfilling life with their own family and friends. But unfortunately that is not possible with the USA sanctioning countries in to oblivion and the West's persistent imperialist mentality. You reap what you sow.

This is the fourth time the long post has been repeated, taking up a lot of space. Let's try a little harder not to reply to the long post. You can post a comment about it without replying to it. I know you guys like it but we don't have to keep posting it again and again.

I was on my phone and was not interested in editing because it is a pain. Since when did you become a moderator? During the time you have been instructing everyone on the format of the forum that you wish to view, you could have written a trip report.

Now before you get your panties in a knot, no I have not written a trip report lately. Why? Because I have not been to Medellin lately.

When you write a report. 01% as good as the report written by YyzTravel then you can say something to me. Oh, and for you motherfuckers who think he is lying on his dick, he is not. I have partied with the man in multiple countries. He rolls exactly how he wrote his report. Gave it to you straight no chase. A edited version has been posted the the Reports of Distinction for FNG reference. Are you happy now? LOL!

Don't hate, participate and step your game up!

Sorry I misspelled the word "cite" I'll try to proof-read better.

Anyways what most likely happened is that your "friend" lied to you so you would feel sorry and provide her with the coats, blankets, pillows, pijamas, etc.

She was just getting more papaya out of you even in the USA.

You're just another simp JJ might as well have "papaya" written on your forehead.

You continue to dive into unknown waters. "Site" wasn't a mistake. You didn't realize "cite" and "site" are different words. It's common. "What most likely happened" is what we used to call a "WAG", a Wild Ass Guess. You have absolutely no idea what happened. To begin with, you failed to recognize the difference between "friend" and "friends", or to notice that "3" is different than "1. " "They", versus "her" or "she", just blatant statements which you completely missed.

Nounce is partially correct. I currently have 3 housekeepers. I've washed dishes once in almost 5 months. Zero laundry, zero cleaning, zero taking out the trash and almost zero cooking, are a few of the benefits. My sustenance cost (food, whether bought or prepared at home, necessary groceries, cleaning supplies, hygiene supplies, etc, has gone from about $900 per month to about $100 per month. Gas for the car is down from $250 per month to $50 per month. Plus they pay me $300 month for their phone bills and utilities. My entertainment expenses have gone up a little, since I enjoy taking everyone out a few times per month. Plus there are certain other benefits to having the company.

No lies involved. As I stated, all 3 didn't arrive by the same path. Why would 2 of them lie to me about needing plane tickets, if they already had free plane tickets? Why would the mother of 1 reimburse me for the tickets? Did she lie about the money she placed in my hand on my last short visit? I guess she was lying about the apartment she let me stay in free of charge, and the meals she bought or cooked for me.

Did my friends lie about the temperature being 26°F on the night they arrived? How did they get all the thermometers to lie as well?

These might be concepts unfamiliar to you, perhaps a failure by your parents. If someone will be a guest in my home, whether a Medellin hooker visiting my apartment, or friends living at my place while getting their lives in order, I provide a comfortable, safe environment. This is called "hospitality. ".

My friends, from Medellin, after traveling across Mexico, were arriving into frigid weather, with only the clothes on their backs. Between hospitality and being a decent human being, some assistance on my part was warranted. I could have gone to Goodwill and saved $200. Instead, I bought reasonably priced, new coats, clothes and pajamas, socks and underwear as well. I bought new toothbrushes and made sure they had the things necessary to be comfortable.

If by "simp" you mean that I treat others as human beings you are correct. Over the years, I've noticed the people who use that term are almost always incapable of interacting with women on a personal level. They are limited to prostitutes and often only the lowest classes of prostitutes. They can't handle a sexual situation where an actual conversation might be necessary.

Me? I can afford to buy a couple of $50 coats. I can carry on a conversation for months with a girl until she invites me into her bed. I can sit with a woman until 4 am talking, even when sex isn't on the menu or, if I prefer, I can change the menu. And when it's time to move on to another girl, I can kiss one goodbye thank her for the memories and walk away smiling.

I'll close with some debate / discussion / conversation tips.

1. Stick with things you know and understand. For example, "free airline tickets. " That was a stunt pulled off by the Governor of Texas, a Republican. It had nothing to do with Biden, the US government or the Democrats. It is not a blanket policy.

2. Avoid things you believe, unless that's a topic of conversation. What you believe has no value in any debate or discussion.

3. If you link something, read it first and keep reading until you fully grasp it. For example, the free hotel rooms. The City of New York has been receiving lots of immigrants. Thousands of people arriving with no place to live causes problems, particularly when children are involved. The city of New York chooses to spend some of their money to provide temporary housing. Once again, this has nothing to do with the US government, or Biden. Having dead, frozen children on the street is bad for business. It's more cost effective to utilize cheap, unused hotel rooms. The hotels benefit.

Sticking with number 3, I'll move to the free debit cards. Once again, this is a NYC program, not Biden, not the US government. Instead of providing free meals, which leafs to a lot of wasted food and money, the city has started issuing debit cards pre-loaded with up to $350, reloadable weekly. It's a cheaper, more effective way to feed those who aren't yet able to feed themselves.

That's enough.
