Stupid shit in Medellin

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932337] To take a ferry from PR to DR still requires Americans to deal with the hassles of airline travel (to PR) [/QUOTE]Puerto Ricans are "Americans," as you ignorantly use the term, and they don't have to do that. Just sayin'.

I live in a smallish city that has an airport with connections to exactly three larger cities. Of those three, one is a four hour drive, another about the same, and the last one is a nine hour drive. The first two can also be accessed by train, about a six hour drive. The first one, which has the best connections, is also six hours by bus and that bus takes you right to that airport.

Just looking at city #1, many people living here adamantly refuse to drive, and fly, which if your goal is to arrive in that city's downtown, takes [B] the same four hours[/B] if you arrive say an hour and a half before the flight. Conversely, many people here adamantly refuse to fly, and drive. These two groups of people are equally adamant their choice is correct. And, it's quite likely that both groups are making a logically correct decision [B] for them[/B].

And hardly anyone considers the train, where you have the most room and a [B]bar car[/B] vs a two drink limit. People from this part of the country don't really have passenger trains on their radar. Anyway I have four options, drive my car, fly, take a bus, or take a train. Why would I not want to evaluate all of those options? Mostly I take the bus.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2932365]LOL. This is like playing operator. That was not the original point at all. The original point was that someone said good luck taking a ferry from the United States to the Dominican Republic as if a ferry between the two does not exist. When people showed there is actually a regularly scheduled ferry, the person did not want to admit being wrong, but instead made every excuse why said ferry was not practical.[/QUOTE]I actually responded saying SubCmdr was correct. However my point is still valid. In the context of this discussion it was obvious that I meant the continental USA, there was no need to clarify. But you and SubCmdr wanted to be too technical about it, and came up with this BS about Puerto Rico and the ferry. This doesn't change my fucking point. BTW, SubCmdr did not confirm nor deny taking that ferry on a consistent basis, not once in a lifetime, to get to DR.

Elvis,

You are not any more informative when it comes to girls in Medellin than you are giving lame ass political commentary in another thread. [B]Miami Boy was wrong about the Ferry[/B]. Period. Full Stop. He needs to man up and admit it. Did you see the picture I posted. I took that picture myself out the window of my ocean view apartment in Santo Domingo Este.

It takes no special skills to hire prostitutes. That is the lesson all new people should learn. All the rest of this is just mental masterbation by wage slaves that are bored to death waiting for their next trip to get some pussy because they are professional tricks and cannot get any pussy where they live.

Every place I have a residence I have pussy waiting for me. Can you or MiamiBoy say the same? LOL! If you are calling me a moron I am not interested in being what you think is smart. LOL!

[B]I am a peace with myself and all others[/B]

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2932307]Just stop MB! If ever the Medellin morons distinguished themselves at how fucking stupid they can be, it has been this thread.

I remember one time I tried to debate someone with dementia and I laughed at myself. What does it say about me that I think I can convince someone mentally ill of anything?

The boat from Puerto Rico? HPV but not green discharge? You have not lived until you have had Syphilis? WTF?

Tell them to have a nice day and then if you want to have success with women, you just do the exact opposite of everything they say.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Huacho;2932452]You would not know the continental Yew Ess from the conterminous Yew Ess from a steaming plate of piss.

[QUOTE=MiamiBoy1;2932446]I actually responded saying SubCmdr was correct.[/QUOTE]That is all I needed to read. [B]Respect[/B].

[QUOTE=MiamiBoy1;2932446]BTW, SubCmdr did not confirm nor deny taking that ferry on a consistent basis, not once in a lifetime, to get to DR..[/QUOTE]I have never taken the ferry ever. But I have also never gone to the moon in a space craft. It does not mean that it is not possible. That is not being technical. That is being logical. Using words precisely is a skill. I practice it.

[B]I am at peace with myself and all others[/B]

[QUOTE=Huacho;2932388]Puerto Ricans are "Americans," as you ignorantly use the term, and they don't have to do that. Just sayin'.[/QUOTE]Most people, with a brain at least, can understand that making an assertion that 98% of a group has a "trait" doesn't not invalidate the existence of the 2% that doesn't. One can easily generalize that Americans have to fly / boat to PR even if Puerto Ricans (Americans) in PR don't have to. If I say that Americans as a population, like guns, are you going to point to the 20+% that want to repeal the 2nd amendment to say that I'm wrong? No, because everyone understand generalized analysis versus blanket statements since I never said "all". Best to take arguments in good faith rather than showing your ass and getting triggered. On a side note, I support PR (and DC) being formally adopted into the United States as a state.

[QUOTE]Travel example[/QUOTE]Thank you for making my point. Rationale humans take public transportation that works best for them. In this case, Air travel has almost become synonymous with international travel for a myriad of reasons. Air travel is generally synonymous with most all long term travel that requires passing a body of water. Clearly the broader population (I didn't say all) values the benefits of air travel over other methods, usually due to time savings. When time traveled is equivalent, you see more variance. I'm actually not even sure what's being argued here except for you guys deflecting from the main point by using edge cases to try to refute and inductive generalization. Let me reframe the logical fallacy at play (you're close to a atomistic fallacy and definitely a motte and bailey) for you and Mr. E.

Broader Discussion: Some types of travel are superior are better than others. Most pay to fly to Med and like to take the more expensive taxi to their hotel rather than use the bus and that should be considered acceptable. Broader back and forth on the validity of taking the bus and whether one is being a weekend warrior or a cheap charlie depending on their chosen travel options.

Cmdr: I don't take a flight. Then some *incoherent dick waving*.

Pointless Digression into where people live and taking boats.

Main Assertion: Americans take flights to DR, and Americans can't take a ferry to get to DR.

Counter: Here is a tiny percentage that can.

Miami: Okay, but I talking about the vast majority that can't to illustrate my point.

Counter: More anecdotes. If you can't resolve my tiny edge case, your point is invalid.

In the end, it's an absurd reduction of the argument to boil down the main arguments of traveling to whether a ferry exists from PR to DR when the argument was always generalized in nature (arguably an atomistic fallacy). It's definitely a motte and bailey to continue on the point of Miami being wrong about the ferry to ignore the broader the point being made about general travel trends.

Maybe this is the wrong place for this but I find it annoying. I have a girl that I see regularly when I am in Medellin and I guess its a sugar baby relationship. She knows I see other girls and I don't ask what she does when I'm away. I met her at a soccer match. Of late while I'm back home I have been sending her money to hold her over until I get back. Nothing big just maybe $100 or so even few weeks. I told her if she wants more she needs to go look for a real boyfriend. I am willing to do it because she offers A+ GFE does what I want and is a 9. The problem is even though I think we are on the the same page on what our relationship is whenever she wants money she will begin by texting me to see how I'm doing how's my mom, job etc. It will be sometimes a full day of texting before she gets around to ask me for money and does this every time. All the fake concern gets under my skin and I want to just tell her to just send one text to ask for money if that's what she wants. From reading posts here I guess this a thing in Colombia but how does this not seem insincere in Colombian culture. Could be a lot worse I could complain about I guess.

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932590]It's definitely a motte and bailey to continue on the point of Miami being wrong about the ferry to ignore the broader the point being made about general travel trends.[/QUOTE]But it was never about general travel trends. It was about one thing and one thing only: not being able to take a boat from the USA to the DR unless it was a cruise ship. It was not about preference. It was not about the norm. It was not about what people do in general. It was not about what is easiest or quickest. It was about you are not taking a boat from the USA to the DR unless it is a cruise ship.

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932590] Air travel is generally synonymous with most all long term travel that requires passing a body of water.[/QUOTE]True.

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932590] Cmdr: I don't take a flight.[/QUOTE]Never said that.

What is being displayed is a north american perception, on a web site wita international perspective.

Next argument will be: [B]we millionaires up in here[/B]. What is best: Private jet or Commercial First Class?

Go back and look and you'll see a multi-page discussion on quality vs. Price. The topic was floating from "pussy is pussy" to buying MCDonald's burgers to travel costs. It was all generic discussions on finding tangible value in some things that cost more money. IMO, I think you're just being obtuse and harping on one point where you won a point without actually addressing the larger point. As some might say, missing the forest for the trees.

MiamiBoy can gladly correct me if my perception was wrong and that he was solely focused on boats from the US to DR as opposed to making a broader discussion where he happened to be somewhat wrong about one given point which, incidentally, means nothing to the larger point.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2932619]False.
Example: European content. South East Asia. Train travel. Oh shit facts continue to fuck with people up in here. Don't get triggered by them.[/QUOTE]Yup, what a great "fact" you just dropped. Sourced and everything.

[QUOTE]What is being displayed is a north american perception, on a web site wita international perspective.[/QUOTE]No, what's being presented is the perspective of someone with a brain, my pobrecito. It's true that I have an American bias and yes the stats here do show that international travel is majority Air-oriented.

Most poor countries don't have a lot of international travel and maybe that's your general budget, but it's clear that developed nations like China have embraced flights for when they leave the country. Europe is the only outlier but that's clearly because of the small distances traveled to leave a nation. But I guess you can pull out another "fact" from your ass to counterpoint. Long distance travel is the relevant notion for international travel since it encompasses how people view their global experience, not the edge case of a dude living on the border and biking back and forth across it to get a drink at the pub.

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932672] developed nations like China[/QUOTE]Are you sure that is true?

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932672]like China have embraced flights for when they leave the country. [/QUOTE]Have you considered that is only because it is the only reasonable choice?
