It's the same book. Yes, it shows them the dangers of rivers, because otherwise they might drown. It shows them how to avoid certain people, because it could get them killed or in jail. And it has a big picture of a Mexican with forged papers, next to this text:

"DON'T USE FALSE DOCUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU, AND DON'T DECLARE FALSE NATIONALITY

If you try to enter with false documents o documents that belong to another person, keep the following in mind:

The use of false documents or documents belonging to someone else is a federal crime in the United States, for which they can process you legally and you may end up in jail; also if you declare a false name or say you are a citizen of the United States, when you aren't."

The booklet emphasizes in several ocassions that the correct way of immigration is through the obtention of a passport, visa, etcetera.
Do you honestly believe, for whatever reason, that a government encouraging illegal immigration to another country somehow makes more sense than a government merely looking out for the personal safety and well-being of its citizens?

My sister gave me one of those... it's like one of those scented pines, like, for your car? But instead of being a pine, and smelling like a pine, it's a pair of sneakers. And it says "ENJOY! THE FRESH SCENT OF NEW SNEAKERS!"

It's really depressing.

I'd just like to say that Earfetish shouldn't be awarded anything at all because he listens to Gunther.

Also, Elfer is Canadian. Y'know, just pointing out facts, doing my best to keep the electorate well-informed. Just like Hillary Clinton says "Barack Obama might be a Muslim" I say: Watch out, Elfer is Canadian.

Actually, most places with a high influx of (foreign) tourists both in Central America and elsewhere have signs in English in the areas where it's sensible to do so: currency exchange centers, hotels, attractions, restaurants, banks, shops, etc.
They don't have all of their signs printed in English because they haven't got tourists wandering all over the place, same reason why, as far as I know, there aren't any spanish forms or signs in Alaska.

And that is relevant to what I said, how?
It's their money, they get to spend it how they seem fit. Wether or not they should be judged, prosecuted or penalised for their illegal status is a different question altogether. But there's nothing wrong or illegal about them sending their money over to Mexico.

I still haven't got any Christm--Holiday presents. I also have no money. Is it ok to pretend to be a jew so nobody forces you to buy gifts?

Also, on a whining note, what the hell? My presidential bid in the '07 elections for the State of Court Jester Award seems to have been foiled. Did I receive a censorship vote? Was I punished by the electorate? Why's some lame-o beating me? Is it because of all the jewtalk? Throw me a bone here, people!

The very little that I've read about Jacob Zuma tells me he's a pretty shifty fellow, but yeah, it's moronic to regard everything as a sign of "The White Man's Burden". There's nothing weird about electing some shady guy as candidate/president.

However, in all honesty I don't really know anything about South Africa beyond Apartheid, Nelson Mandela, Kevin Carter and a couple of movies. Care to give us a little insight on the current political situation?

Out of a max of 850 points, I got 699 in Language, 675 in Math, and a whooping 803 in History & Social Sciences.

A friend of mine, who's nerdier than me, passed the Engineering School admission exam with 7/10, pass grade: 6 :D
Another friend of mine also passed his three admission exams for the School of Informatics. :D

Actually that score didn't mean squat in the end. Since the test measured completely inane and useless information, it's basically an overhyped memory exam or whatever. It worked just fine in getting me all pumped up and thinking I was hot shit, only to realize once in college that my ass was easily kicked by kids who either scored 60 points lower than me or didn't even give the test at all.
This holds particularly true when the career's some sort of hippie excuse for a real job, as is my case.

But since you've chosen a more facho approach at the laboral world, I guess you'll have no problem.

But that happened back in the Age of Crazy People. Revolutions in the last few decades have a decent chance of turning out a-okay, as evidenced by what happened in Czechoslovakia, Ukrain, Portugal, et cetera.

Back in the heat of the Cold War, not wanting to strongly stand against an opressive government was being reasonably cautious. Now, it's just being a pussy.

These threads are just a penisfest to see who can lie the most in order to get his point the further away from the center. Somehow answering "Strongly disagree" with everything makes me more of a rebel.

So you're Argentinean and you're a teenager who reads The Economist. I wish I could hate you to death.

Well we have a higher ratio of fat balding men with suits and Harvard business degrees, and we're overall better human beings, so I'm not surprised.

So chill out, China will take longer to surpass you economically, destroy you culture, and attack you with knives, and cool kung-fu moves.

And lousy shoes! I bought chinese shoes once, and man, those shoes sucked. And by chinese shoes I mean shoes that are actually marketed as being chinese instead of hiding their sweatshop origins.

This reminds me the time in which I was asked how did the Argentinian Spanish differ from the Brazilian Spanish.

I do not understand the joke. It's a joke, right?

Brazilians do not speak Spanish. Both remarks posed a similar level of ignorance about South America, I assume.

I wouldn't say it's Néstor Kirchner ruling through his wife as much as it's that husband and wife form a single biological entity. CFK could tell her husband to go fuck himself if she wanted to, but she won't because they basically share the same brain. It's like that episode from The Simpsons with the alien candidates - no one's "using" the other one because they're both the same.

Argentinean elections were a joke, but for a different reason altogether.

Of course he should, but the appropiate response is a stiff opposition, hell, even a coup d'etat would be something to expect (after all they pretty much hold the world record: nearly 200 coups in 180 years of independence), but not threatening to break the country apart, specially when the seperatist movement had been almost nonexistant before Morales' rise to power.

I mean, in most scenarios excessively accelerating a set of radical changes is a bad thing, but when a nation qualifies as the poorest in South America one should probably take the hint that a shitload of changes is better than no changes at all. I say change it all and sort out what stays and what reverts back to normal once things have calmed down.

Do you know what's going to happen with the new constitution?

My guess is that Morales will succeed. With his choice of subjecting n early end of his term to a referendum, he gave the signal of "either I get something done or I'm out of here". The electorate realizes that Evo's the only chance they've got to get ANY changes on the system they've currently got, as evidenced by the last, what, 50 years of military and (white, of course) civil rule?

Reminds me of a Colombian woman we once interviewed. She told us about how "pico" in Colombia refers to a pouty mouth, i.e. before kissing. So when she had just arrived to Chile, she once wrote n e-mail to his new (Chilean) boyfriend and ended it with "Hugs, and a kiss in your pico".

Dude answers with "...yeeeah, that'd be great".

What the hell is this nonsense?

Well it'd be difficult to assing it a single word, since there are +20 different nations that use Spanish and most of them have different sets of slang. Argentineans say "poronga" or "choto" (I think), Spaniards say "polla", Venezuelans say "yuca", us Chileans say "pico" or "pichula".

Well I don't really have a reason to meddle in this issue, but I'll just say this: People don't want their phones tpped or their Internet history spied on because they don't want anybody to know about THEIR SECRET PORN AND/OR PHONE SEX. They don't want people to listen to them ordering extra-small condoms over the phone or hiring an exotic escort who looks just like Ronald Reagan. So when someone says "you've got nothing to hide so you've got nothing to fear" is a lie. They've got something to hide alright, as we all do. The fact that it's probably nothing illegal doesn't make it okay for anybody to spy on it.
Furthermore, this definition of "known terrorists" seems pretty fishy. Even if there was an effective way of branding people as terrorists, a well-trained terrorist doesn't go around discussing anything on the phone. They use the phone to order pizzas, to call their girlfriends, to call in sick to work, to say hello to their children when they're away on a business trip, etc.
So in the end you'll have a bunch of records of the pizza guy's furry convention, some girl being a slut, some bald guy with glasses spending a thousand bucks on fat hookers, etc. It doesn't matter if the people listening to it re your stereotypical agents with a stone-cold look and sunglasses.

Terrorism is evil, but phone tapping is worse than evil, it's creepy.
