  1. That is true! But apparently, you think Argentina is not a Capitalist country. I was so happy when I thought you understood something!
  2. Ha, look who understood the essence of Capitalism.
  3. The world looks a little bit better today.
  4. I don't know whether the outcome will be mass psychosis, but American selfish individualism seems to drive the nation to a crisis.
  5. Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson dies at 93 WWW.FOXNEWS.COM Pat Robertson, founder of the global Christian Broadcasting Network, has died at age 93, the...
  6. This is not true. We do consume drugs across all social classes South of the Border at a meager price. The US is suffering a severe case of anomie. I recommend you to take read of Le Suicide, by Emile Durkheim. It is outdated but surprisingly relevant.
  7. Did you read the news, guys? I think we are comparing apples and oranges. The victim was not a tourist, but another Brazilian The GP is only the second suspect The mastermind was a TV producer who manipulated the boy Once again. Be careful, as you should be. But you should not let fear-mongering narratives cloud your judgment. By the way, anecdotal information is useless, but I was In Rio last April and November. I even got lost a few times and walked alone in not-very-nice neighborhoods. I have never seen a crime, and I have never felt unsafe. Indeed, Rio is dangerous, and you have to be careful. Be careful.
  8. Feliz cumpleaños!
  9. Unsurprisingly, you did not understand my point. It would help if you supported whatever you think is right instead of hiding behind public opinion.
  10. I guess you are subscribing to your friends' views. I've heard Conservative (culturally Conservative, this is not Politics) people (their sexuality is irrelevant) saying the same. It is a cowardly argument. Instead of standing up for their anti-trans beliefs, they fake empathy with the progressive cause and ask for slowing down the speed of change. From my point of view, doing the right thing is essential whether or not it is popular. And that starts by being honest about what you think is right and wrong.
  11. Going back to the topic, I bring back this post because I want to expand on that idea. One of the best side effects of the debate around trans is that it makes ALL dissident sexualities and identities more acceptable. It highlights up to what point Culture is a human historical construction, and at the same time, shapes human nature. It fosters mutual respect and celebrates diversity.
  12. Indeed. And we brought Madrid's example to deal with that situation when the anti-communist parroting started.
  13. Oops, now you changed your argument. I thought the problem was the Spanish tyranny flooding US borders with its victims. Perhaps it is hard for you to give up your decades-old anti-communist tropes. Breaking news: we were discussing Madrid's solution to the homeless challenge. Try to stay on topic.
  14. Yes? I did not hear about Spaniards running away from their bloody tyranny violating their private property rights. I may be reading the wrong news.
  15. You think you made an argument. You did not. The homeless problem is solved. Now you should fix the problem of an unfair economic system that allows people to accumulate wealth they do not need while others do not have where to live or work 18 hours per day and still cannot pay the rent. That is a problem.
  16. Your statement does not make sense out of the proper context. No one is saying that they are victims of life. We live in a Capitalist system that is structurally biased in favor of the rich. THAT is the life we are talking about.
  17. I do not know where you get your data, but I am not endorsing this statement.
  18. No, sir. I intended not to question anyone's bisexuality but mock someone's ridiculous and meaningless generalizations.
  19. The definition of success for a public service includes much more than whether or not there is a surplus or a deficit.
  20. Would I make you happy if we call it a "temporary solution?"
  21. Oh. So because you do not like this solution, you refused to accept that the homeless problem was resolved. It looks like you have a problem, but these formerly homeless people do not have it anymore.
