Anyone has a property in California can pretty much use rental income to finance living and mongering in Medellin. I guess Surfer has a property in California and we know he has one in El Poblado. He is not using either one for income and that tells you something. I can be wrong but it costs me nothing to be wrong, haha.

But a guy could have ten million in assets and still only use his social security for immigration visa purposes. And I think most guys here are short term visitors to Colombia, not trying to relocate or establish Colombian residency. No one knows the demographic on this board, so yes, I was being flippant.
But the original poster did mention that he also felt a bias in the direction I listed. And another poster after him said the same thing. And I get the felling from here, too. This is a classic of perception if truth, but we all perceive things differently, too. I have no prejudice against people based on income or age. I am prejudiced against assholes.
Bottom Line, no one really knows what the demographic is here. Thanks for the feedback. You made me stop and think.

I would have to agree there is a bias here from broke-ass old guys, but they probably offer more broad useful info to the readership, than you or I. No one here should view their methods or the self as better than anyone else's. Just different, and then we can all borrow or steal from each other, jajaj Ostee Out.

I never said that humans are harmed in the development of vaccines. I said sentient beings. I care about sentience. The ability to suffer. I don't care how intelligent you are, or how hairy you are, what colour you are, or how many legs you have. If you can experience pleasure and suffering, then you share what is important and have inherent value.
"Other animals, which, on account of their interests having been neglected by the insensibility of the ancient jurists, stand degraded into the class of things. . The day has been, I grieve it to say in many places it is not yet past, in which the greater part of the species, under the denomination of slaves, have been treated. Upon the same footing as. Animals are still. The day may come, when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The French have already discovered that the blackness of skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor. It may come one day to be recognized, that the number of legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or perhaps, the faculty for discourse?. The question is not, Can they reason? Nor, Can they talk? But, Can they suffer? Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being?. The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over everything which breathes. ".

Humans are not harmed in thousands as you say in the development, trials or mass vaccination campaigns. Phase 1,2 and 3 trials have clearly written protocols and trials have to go through IRB approvals. It's a scaled up roll out so as to minimize human risk.
These vaccines have so far proven much safer and more highly effective than any of us could have hoped for a year ago. Yet you throw out these baseless opinions as facts without citing any basis whatsoever and flat out make up shit for why you won't vaccinate. If you won't at least grow a pair and say you just won't.

For those who, for whatever silly reason, don't want to get vaccinated, go ahead and throw away your masks and go about business as usual. There's nothing to worry about.
Nothing except for the real possibility that Colombia is going to be reinstating the curfews in Bogota and Medellin since ICU space is again rapidly running out. Then there's that minor risk of getting Covid (even if you are vaccinated). It's really nothing to worry about at all. Sure, you might end up in an emergency room absolutely certain you're about to die (not to mention some large medical bills). Sure, you might end up spending an extra $1500 because you got stuck in quarantine. Sure you might be almost completely unable to fuck for 3 weeks, because you can just barely breathe enough to keep from passing out. You might even end up stinking because you can't stand up long enough to take a shower. You probably don't want to hear about the bad parts.
I'm here to assure you that's all nothing compared to having a sore arm twice, for almost 8 hours each time, and having to put an almost weightless piece of paper over your face.
So, when the 6 pm curfews come back and when the doctor tells you that you don't need to go to the hospital, because you're doing fine (although it's because they have no place to put you at the hospital), you can take a deep breath and enjoy your stay. Well, you can't really take a deep breath. You can try, get really dizzy, start coughing which triggers your gag reflex and you spend 2 minutes gasping and gagging and trying desperately not to pass out. Which is kinda fun in a "if I puke there's nobody who will come and clean it up, and if I pass out, eventually someone will find me face down in my own vomit" way.
