General Info

Uber has been having off and on GPS problems in Colombia. Besides what you mentioned, sometimes drivers have been unable to start or end trips, causing delays in pickups. I had a couple of trips that never got charged to my account. A way to avoid pickup delays and the driver not finding you is to send the driver a text message or call him. You can only use the phone number registered to your account to do this. It works well.

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2124982]When I was in Medellin in November, I used Uber a few times. It was hit or miss because I never knew where the car was located. Even though I put in the exact address, I am not sure that info was transmitted to the driver. Sometimes the car would be a half block away from the address. A couple of times, the app showed the car on the street, but I couldn't fine it. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you find the car on a busy street?[/QUOTE]

Thanks JjBee62 and Knowledge for your responses. I will keep that information in mind when I return next month.

Met a girl off Tinder in Medellin, we texted for awhile, agreed on sex / money. She shows up, looked little young, I asked for Cedula (I always do if I am in doubt) and she said she's 18 and 6 months, but she showed me plastic sealed ID with picture on the other side. I googled it later and it's a Contrasena ID until she gets a Cedula, which said would take a few months. Need advice please, because I liked her, if anyone had been in a similar situation. Her facebook also shows her age over 18.

I understand 18 is old enough in Colombia but you're walking a thin line. If it turns out her ID is bogus you go to fuck me in the ass Colombia prison.

Even though they are told it takes three months to receive the cedula, it will probably be received in about a month and a half. I am providing some support for two young sisters there. The oldest one turned 18 last year and she went through that process. Now the oldest one can sign and do all the legal stuff for her sister, which uncomplicates their life somewhat.

If I were you I would drop her until she can produce a valid ID.

I understand you like the girl but her age on facebook means absolutely nothing. The fact that you even brought it up shows you are trying to rationalize seeing a girl of questionable age.

I really hate some of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902][CodeWord902][/url] girls I have run into in Medellin. They will lie, lie, lie and tell you anything they can think of to get with you and then lie some more. And when you still tell them NO they will call you weak and scared. Jajaja and say it isn't illegal in Colombia. Some are quite nasty at a very early age.

Age of Consent vs Age of Majority

[blue]=============================================

Greetings Gentlemen,

The Age of Consent is the age in which girls can participate in consensual, non-commercial sex with their teen-age boyfriend without said teen-age boyfriend being charged with statutory [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url].

However, the Age of Consent is irrelevant to the members of this forum.

What you need to focus on is the [u]Age of Majority[/u], which among other things is the age in which they can vote, get married, enlist in the military, and participate in commercial sex activities.

Please exercise caution and govern yourself accordingly.

Thanks,

Bancolombia ATM surcharge.

FYI about a few weeks back bancolombia is now charging 12 mil pesos to withdraw from their ATM. With a max of 600 mil that means they're adding at least 2% to the transaction. Caja social seems to be the only one left not charging a fee.

The preceding was posted on this website last month. It is false. When using a foreign debit card for a withdrawal the receipt from the machine says there is a 12,000 peso charge. But there is no charge. Period.

I withdrew 600,000 COP last night, no charge. I used an app on my phone to analyze the exchange rate and I paid. 7 % no complaints here.

Jackson[/blue][/QUOTE]Actually, what is important for US citizens is the doctrine of extraterritoriality and for US citizens that doctrine draws the line at 18. Ignorance is no defense. You can bribe your way out of what YK describes as the 'fuck me in the ass colombian prisons,' but you cannot typically bribe your way out of the doctrine of extraterritoriality. The age of majority is 18 in Colombia.

Jackson[/blue][/QUOTE]True. But in my post I was talking about a normal male-female encounter when I mentioned age of consent within the confines of the state that I am from. (And actually you can get married and enlist in the military below the age of majority with your parents' consent.)

There is a lot of misinformation being thrown around about those two conditions. In the US, there is no relationship between age of consent and age of majority, other than both are set by individual states, not the federal government. Age of consent varies between 16 and 18. That is the age someone can legally consent to have sex with another person (in some states, a person of the opposite sex). Difference in age has no bearing. The difference in age comes into effect when one party is under the age of consent. Age of majority varies between 18 and 21. That is the age someone is legally responsible for their actions. Also, it is when they can enter into contracts.

Under the PROTECT Act of April 2003 (a federal law), it is a crime, prosecutable in the United States, for a US citizen or permanent resident alien to engage in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18, no exceptions.

I don't know what Dickhead is talking about when he mentions extraterritoriality. That is when someone is granted immunity from the jurisdiction of a nation, usually foreign diplomats. Probably none of us fall under that category.

In Colombia, the age of consent is 14, BUT sexual consent is valid only as long as no violence, prostitution, pornography or exploitation occurs. I don't think any of us can convince the Colombia authorities that we are in the category where none of those things happen. Also, we are subject to the PROTECT Act, so under 18 is a no-no. I don't think Colombia has an "age of majority" as defined in the US, because someone as young as 14 can be held legally responsible for criminal behavior. The minimum age to engage in prostitution or pornography in Colombia is 18.

Hoping this right place to post. I want to be like energizer bunny in Medellin. Is there anything I can buy there to assist in performance?

Also "Kids are a non issue for me." Are women in Medellin open to CIP, or am I better of in another part of Colombia?

The Protect Act is an example of extraterritorial jurisdiction: a country (the US) applying its own laws outside of its physical boundaries or normal jurisdiction. Several US states' consent laws consider the difference in the ages of the two parties, either making legal what would otherwise be illegal or reducing the level of the crime and/or penalty. Increasingly in the US, people under the age of majority are being tried as adults. And in one state, CT, last I heard, 17 was the age at which people are routinely considered adults in criminal matters. They raised that from 16 just a few years ago.
