If dude feel like he has a connection with this chick and he's not suffering financially to build her and her family a house. Good Luck to him. His money his life.

Can we get some real reports going?

Legal,

The cocaine trade wholly originated in Colombia and was exploited by Colombians and has created incredible wealth for many there. Without that trade, US involvement in that country would be minimal.

The USA is actually late to the game in terms of trade with Colombia. Free trade is inevitable and irreversible for all countries.

The drug trade has not diminished one bit since the yankee's decided to be Colombia's daddy. The public officials in all of Sur America are corrupt, and many are neck deep in the drug trade. The USA is involved in Colombia to protect US interest there. United Fruit, for example, and because of Hugo Chavez and the anti-american government in Bolivia. Colombia is to South America what Taiwan is to China, in a sense. The Colombian Constitutional Court recently held that the government's program to allow US troops to be stationed at Colombian army bases was unconstitutional. We're bullies and that why many Colombians hold the US in contempt. The boiling of discontent, especially among the young at public universities in Colombia, could erupt at any time.

I didn't say that the Colombian Fair Trade agreement was not beneficial to both countries, on balance. I'm just saying that the Colombian government is leaving the soon to be displaced farmers out to dry, so to speak. Colombia has the second largest number of internally displaced citizens, exceeded only by Sudan. One in ten Colombians have been driven off their land by the leftist or para militaries, and now there will be more. Where's the social justice in that? Hey, karma works for countries, too. We Yankees are getting some bad karma, that's all.

Aussie, have a little compassion, amigo. Matt thinks he found one that fits. We all know that pussy can be more addictive than cocaine. He'll be ok if he keeps his expectations at zero. We only have what we are experiencing in the moment.

Think good energy!

The girls I try to provide and or meet with you are not full time pro's, no they are girls that are usually a lot of fun and when they meet the right guy there is interest in a relationship which is what happened with Matt. It doesn't happen that often but those two are definitely into each other and she stay's with him the entire time he's here. She took us to her casa high in the hills and showed us the new big sink to wash clothes in and a wall that was going up. I told Matt the second story will be named after him because he certainly financed the new things we saw, but it made him feel good to help out and see where his money was going! He left a few days ago and Fernando whom is also in my photo's arrives Friday. He likes to stay at his favorite place but we have a lot of fun working the girls in Centro together and later exploring nice places to eat and see at night in out of the way places like La Doctora near Sabaneta and finish up with a cutie if he has any energy left!

My observations and opinions are not emotional. I don't hate anyone, much less my country. It has many attributes, but reality is reality. Plan Colombia may have been endorsed by the powers that be in Colombia, but it has been devastating to many poor, hard working Colombians that are simply trying to feed their family. I suggest you read,"Beyond Bogota" by Gary Leech and / or Robin Kirk's "More Terrible than Death: Drugs, Violence, and America's War in Colombia."

I am not suggesting that the Colombian Free Trade Agreement won't benefit many Colombians. I imagine the costs of arepa will decline because USA produced grains will flood into Colombia. The efficiency of USA farmers can't be competed with by the Colombian small (and inefficient) farmers.

Bottom line, Colombia is America's bit*h in South America. The Fair Trade Agreement was agreed to without any addressing of the oppression of the Colombian labor leaders. I love America. But it's imperialistic foreign policy is unsound, immoral, and in the end, unproductive.

Hey, I advocate good energy not oppression and dominance.

[Member #4394]

As I said before, I have no problem with what you are doing. But I think it is entirely egoistic. It is a "payment" rather than "scholarship." Thanks.

Really, my way of spreading good energy and receiving the benefit of doing somethings that are not entirely egoistic.

[Member #4394]

The both are great read.

I suggest you read,"Beyond Bogota" by Gary Leech and / or Robin Kirk's "More Terrible than Death: Drugs, Violence, and America's War in Colombia." .

I have been to what I think everyone will agree is the poorest among some of the poorest. I've helped a couple of young men from Malawi study in the United States. I just use Malawi as an example to contrast with Colombia since I've experienced both. You and Dickhead appropriately corrected my sloppy use of words.

Only good energy, SD

No problem buddy, sorry if my reply to your post sounded alittle blunt. Was having a bad day then I read you calling Colombia third world. All good energy.

It has occured to me that almost every girl seem to lack money, due to genrally low wages, unemployment etc. This makes it hard to distinguish the good one from the barracudas. But if one follow a plan, a strategy, this can minimiza loss of time and money.

We need advice from you Legal Tender. You have found a method that works, while many of us still fumble in the Darkness Of Cultural Misconception.

I really can't give advice to anyone, but I'll be pleased to share my thoughts and experiences. We read continually about those of us that see the Girl Friend Experience (GFE). To that end, there are the undefined categories of prepago, semi-pro, and "normal" girls. I don't buy into that delineation, all adult females are sex workers in one form or another. There is no such thing as free pussy, they all want something. Maybe it's as simple and direct as a few COPs or lifetime commitment.

If one wants a real GFE, you have to understand that it takes agreement of two people. There is no such thing as a "no strings attached" relationship. Everything is subject to discussion and agreement. Clearly, most girls in Medellin are very open to having a sponsor. I have no interest in a girl that sees material things in exchange for attention and affection. They are simply unworthy of time and treasure. I like smart girls that are serious about their education and have some passion in life for what they will be doing after obtaining a degree. To those who feel monogamy is important, I know several girls that are simply not diverting their attention and time to anything that isn't related to their studies. No discos, no drugs, no novio. It's easy to make their dream, you're dream: to see them educated, independent and successful.

In order to make this idea realistic, one has to be able to spend some time in Colombia. Coming to Medellin for a week each year won't do it. These kind of girls are really easy to find. I've got some university professors that recommend recipients for scholarship opportunities, but Facebook is a great asset. Just makes FB friends with a few Piasas and soon many of their friends will want to get to know the "yankee."

My experience has been that karma kicks in almost every time. Understand the financial commitment, and stick to it. If you take an interest in one of these girls and want to see a good one be able to go to a university, the response is not only heart warming, but results in a beautiful young woman WANTING to give you all of the physical pleasure that she can give. Works for me.

Really, my way of spreading good energy and receiving the benefit of doing somethings that are not entirely egoistic.

Just decide what kind of girl you want to spend time with. Of course, as shallow as it is, she's got to be hotter than a two dollar pistol. Those with kids are problematic simply because they're too damn needy. I highly recommend a serious university student.

Another America hater. Americans are always the ones causing the problems, right? Imperialists? Give me a break.

Plan Colombia was a Colombian initiative. USA has pumped billions into Colombia to fight the FARC and the narco traffickers. Much of that money has also gone into infrastructure and human development.

I do think the free trade agreement will ultimately be beneficial to Colombia but there will be a lot of internal displacement as a result. One of the reasons the Colombian economy has been growing a such a rapid rate is that the country has extensive free trade agreements with the EU, China and other Latin American counties.

My observations and opinions are not emotional. I don't hate anyone, much less my country. It has many attributes, but reality is reality.

I'd better keep my mouth shut about Colombia! I've backpacked around Malawi also, only good energy.

Come on Greg, everyone always appreciates your perspective on Colombia.

Those journals cover much of American foreign policy.

Of course America is imperalistic with military installations in more than 100 countries.

But America pays a high economical and political price for this engagement, even if it is beneficial to countries as Colombia and cities like Medellin.

There is no other way to handle the complex world, the isolationism 1920-41 is not an option, US allies are simply to weak, can't act because of their history or simply refuse, leaving the US no other choise than to act.

Back to Medellin.

The city is more like two worlds, Medellin and the suburbs. The first world and the third world in one. Even the languages is so different between the pure Castellano and the suburbs dialects (that it is hard to understand) so even with the Metrocable it is difficult for poor people to advance, speaking suburb dialect will exclude you from all finer social groups. Social stratas are very distinct in Colombia. There will "always" be a big proletariat, thus making the term "The Third World" relevant.

If one refrain to extrapolate Colombias current GNP-growth and looks at it's current GNP statistics Colombia is in the middle in Latinamerica with US$ 10, 000 per capita, Argentina has +17, 000, Bolivia 4, 900.
