General Info

[QUOTE=Questner][url]http://www.vbs.tv/watch/vbs-news/colombian-devil-s-breath-1-of-2[/url][/QUOTE]I saw these vids about a year or so ago. I have 2 complaints about these videos. First, the guy that procured for them the scopolamine was quite a character. He acted in such a way that it made me think he was just pulling the legs of these somewhat gullible gringos.

Second, why didn't they take the powder to a toxicology lab in Bogota, or even in the states to see what was exactly in it? An official lab report on that powder could have provided proof for their video clips that what they got was the real thing, as well as possibly help the authorities better understand what these criminals do in preparing the substance.

So I remain a bit suspicious of these videos although most of it was informative and interesting.

i noticed that this colombia forum is super slow. when i was to go to colombia i had to wait even 24 hrs or more to have an answer on my reports.

now i see reports get piled up for days and then suddenly they all hit at same time.

comparing with brasil, russia or argentina this is a very slow caterpillar.

there is anything the administrator can do to speed up the posting?

is very annoying to wait one day or more for an answer or to get the reports to the public.

being in medellin i never invited people to hung out because i knew my invitation wouldn't get on time to the public. i couldn't say: "hey guys today we going to meet at san diego club at 11:00 pm or so" nobody would see this but to the next day.

most forums around the world are instant posting. what happen to the colombia board?

thanks a lot for the attention and future answer.

dealdo[/quote]dealdo,

look at the top of the page and you will see that the colombian forum is on full moderation so that means the mod's have to read every post before it is posted and i am sure jackson isn't paying someone 24/7 to do it. i too get frustrated sometimes about this and when traveling it can be an issue. if you pm someone though they should get it right away.

jackson, if you're out there please post a comment to clarify this please.

[blue]hi dealdo,

first, please recognize the the purpose of monitoring reports it not to aggravate you but to keep the forum free of spam. it is specifically because i put in the work to monitor posts that the forum is relatively spam free. i don't like all the work, but i know from experience that there's no other option.

second, if i lowered the senior member requirements to 6 months [u]or[/u] 25 reports as some have suggested, i would have spammers specifically posting 25 posts within a few days to get the senior member status, and then start spamming the forum. that's what did happen all the time a couple of years ago when i once had the either/or criteria.

third, the isg forum is a compendium of travel reports, not a chat room. i care about the reports, not the chit-chat. therefor, i don't think it's really that big of a deal if, for example, a travel report to rio de janerio is visible at 6pm or not until a few hours later.

fourth, i disagree with your contention that you "need to wait 'ages'". i moderate and approve all new reports at least twice per day, and sometimes several times a day. the average delay is less than 6 hours. i know because i watch the statistics every day. the only time the delay is more than 12 hours is on those few days when i have some issue that prevents me from getting to a computer, such as a day when i may be flying between continents. even then, i usually find an internet cafe at the airports so i can approve the pending reports before i get on my flight and again when i land.

[b]personally, i think you should be commending me for doing such a great job of managing the forum, [u]instead of bitching that i don't do it fast enough[/u].[/b]

thanks,

jackson

========================================================[/blue][/QUOTE]Hahaha Jackson boddy. If I did not know you I would think you are mad, But you are right I should congratulate you for all that hard work you do and all the millions of people who get benefited with your forum.

Bro I didn't know you personally checked every single report! That is A LOT of work!

I thought you had a moderator for every country or every city. And is because I never had such a dilate on the posting from another forums of ISG. As I said, Brasil, Russia and Argentina run pretty smooth (just to put an example), This was my first trip to Medellin and I noticed the difference, Maybe because here we find a LOT of good for nothing spammers. Some of them pay for their advertising, most of them want to have a free banner. You know whom I mean. All those fricking pimps trying ripping us off. Why don't you just ban then out? I think that would be a good solution. LOL. I'm just thinking loud bro, I know you know what you do. I've seen you dealing with a hundred of "boludos" in Argentina and that really amazed me. I do not have that patient, and that's why I'm can't run a show like this big and complicated.

AHH but you know I always try to make your job easier and my reports are not that chit-chatty carp. I try to report useful data for the community.

But if mongers can get together thanks to this forum is also good for the forum itself, because there will be a LOT more reports. Human interaction is the foundation, what it really makes happen all this business, so travel reports are VITAL for the board as well. Just my point of view.

Ok Now I have to get ready for the rest of the night. =)

I hope I can see you soon again in Buenos Aires amigo. Abraxo grande!

I have searched this forum but have not found info regarding Human Growth Hormone. Can it be purchased in Colombia, especially Cartagena. And does anyone know the price. By the way I have a prescription from a USA doctor.

Thanks

[QUOTE=Aba Corrado]I have searched this forum but have not found info regarding Human Growth Hormone. Can it be purchased in Colombia, especially Cartagena. And does anyone know the price. By the way I have a prescription from a USA doctor.

Hgh

Human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and in adolescents is responsible for increase in height and and other body changes. As we age the level of the hormone rapidly decreases after the age of 30. In adults it is responsible for cellular repair and growth. I won't go into length on the subject but there is plenty of information on the topic on anti-aging sites. As well check out a site by Ellis Toussier a guy thats been taking it for 15 years, hes the best looking 65 yr old guy I've ever seen.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Ok Corrado I move this reply to the right section, to not get off topic the Cartagena board.

Is very interesting what you said about it, unfortunately I can't tell you if any Colombian pharmacy sells them. Best try is asking any of your friends in the Country.

But you didn't' talk about the side effects.

It would be so Cool to stay like now! I wouldn't mind to stay like this the rest of the life LOL. Well is what I think now. When all my family gets old and I stay young may be kind of odd don't you think? But in a second thought, who cares LOL!

Well I wont pretend to be an expert on this substance but I have researched it extensively. In doses normally used for anti-aging purposes (1-2 i.u.) i have not read any harmful effects. There is concern that it can cause cancerous tumors to grow at an elevated rate. however this does not have a lot of support. Doses larger than 5 or 6 i.u can cause alameglia? (not sure of the spelling) which is enlargement of facial and hand bones. rReally there is A lot of information on the web. However I dont believe that this will cause aging to halt, merely to slow it down.

How ya going. Just went to the travel doctor to get my shots for my fuck holiday. Anyway the lady suggested "hostage insurance". Do you think this is worth it, and if so how much is it as i cant get an online quote.

Cheers,

Dave

Hostage insurance? Only if you are well known in politics, religuos organization that gets in the way with rebels like FARC or the mafia, or if you dress like you own top 100 forbes list which I wouldn't dress like nor where alot of jewelry. I would do some more research and blend in with the locals and learn some spanish so you don't stick out like a sore thumb or see if our many members who live there or go alot be your wingman. By the way, there is an impressive spanish school in Costa Rica which I highly recommend than getting hostage insurance.

Hostage insurance LOL no pun intended

Calizum

PS Colombia is a very mixed culture, about ten years the President of Colombia looked like that front guy for Kentucky Fried Chicken, white as can be with white hair and beard. LOL

Mostly true. However, bone growth only happens after insane dosages like 20 I. U. Per day.

If you want anti-aging try test.

Or do what my 'friend' is doing and get on 2 I. U. Per day of hgh and 200mg/wk of test. My friend has a doctor script for the test. The hgh is cheap if you know where to look. And no I don't know where you can look, so do not pm me.

IMO none of the above will help if you don't work out and eat right.

Ran across a book on Amazon kindle called "Men's guide to Colombia" - makes for good bedroom reading.

Test will shutdown your natural test production by fucking with your HPTA system. This means you won't be able to get a boner naturally. So if your gona go this path be prepared to do it for life. Could also produce acne and hair loss.

Hgh can also fuck with your pituitary gland in the brain.

Hgh for its price is over rated. But sure if you have money to burn it will help shed fat and make your skin look better but like any drug comes with its risks and side affects.

These drugs are only worth it if your old and your natural systems are depleted. Otherwise your just damaging your bodies endocrine system

THAT'S exactly what I wanted to know. I had that feeling about it.

Nop, that is not for me, Leading a healthy life and working out is the best I have found to feel good and make the girls happy. (Or at least think that I make them happy LOL).

Corrado says it helps him to be sexually powerful. But I won't take the risk,

I'm OK now. I just wanted to be young forever HAHAHA who doesn't right?
