Seriously, Dutch people. Fuck off. Now I'm not even going to say that while implementing a waiting time of three days may be somewhat excessive (And according to what you say, a problem for people who don't live in large cities), it might as well be the only reasonable measure to crack down on stupid people doing crazy shit without seriously compromising the common man's right to shrooms.

Well I certainly enjoy a ridiculously large amount of chopped garlic in my rice, to the point where it's basically garlic with rice, so I'm doin' fine in that department. Babes don't dig it but hey, what the hell do they know.
I also used to chew on a shitload of fish and seafood until I moved out from a coastal city into one where fish costs, like, a lot.

They're a repressive dictatorship. It's what they do best.
It normally happens because the regime in charge is extremely paranoid about the nation descending into anarchy and chaos if they loose their grip a little bit. Or because they're scared shitless, with or without reason (mostly without, since otherwise things tend to evolve into all-out civil war instead of one-sided slaughter), of a group in particular. (As in, "OH NO COMMIES", "OH NO SEPERATISTS", "OH NO TERORISTS", "OH NO PEOPLE WITH GLASSES")

Polls were quite accurate.

Look at it this way: You people have the one of the female presidents that would take the least amount of beers for a reasonable man to find her hot. I mean, don't take me wrong, it would still take a fair amount of beers. I mean, DAMN. I'm all for that 5-bucks-a-trick-bimbo red perm, but her face reminds me of my aunt. And my uncle. And my grandfather.

So... getting drunk, huh? I think the most drunk I ever got was a couple of months ago, when we went to Valdivia to attend the film festival there. So we rented some cabins, and in our second night the guys are all like "yo man let's partay" and I'm like "okay" so I put on my cool clothes and go there. So I think I started off with two or three tequila shots. Big mistake there. Afterwards beers went down like water and I think I drank half a bottle of pisco because I thought it was Sprite.
The thing is that I somehow managed to keep face the whole time until I realized I couldn't feel my limbs move anymore. So I was like "I'm not losing my dignity in front of you suckers, fuck this shit" and I go back to my cabin to get some sleep. I was doing so well and I thought I was going to pull it off. So I stumble my way into the bedroom and let myself fall like a sack of potatoes into my bag. So I'm like "Man I can't believe I didn't embarrass myself at all this t-" Puke. Puke puke double puke regurgitate puke. So I'm flapping in my own vomit and I decide to take a run for the bathroom. I leave a nice trail of vomit all the way from one room to another, and suddenly I notice that the party had just shifted to my cabin. I think I flail my arms in my little puke pool before passing out.
Bye bye cool clothes. That wasn't a very smooth moment.

Other than that, I've never had a problem with alcohol, I think.

Yes she is, the other female is not bad either, especially with the new breasts, and I disagree. And I watch it since it wasn't well-known , so I win.

I don't understand why the hell would a Chilean cable station air that show. "Boludo! La Susana y el Pipo y el Pelusa Chupalaverggi se fueron a hinchar a Pepe Conchetumaddri y le sacaron lo que le hizo la Silvina en el show de la Mirna! CHAN CHAN CHAN CHAN!". I like that Petinatto jackass better than Pergolini or Tinelli, though, I guess. Not that I know much about either. But that show's not meant for foreing broadcast.

Also: lol ur gonna hav a womyn prsident
I'm afraid we will. How's yours doing?

Well she never was more than Lagos' puppet, to be honest. She was elected based on her tragic life story and her having a vagina, and that's fine and all, but neither of those make for a good President and she doesn't even have the most tragic life story nor the biggest vagina inside the Concertación. So now that Ricky's chance for a second term seems slim, nobody really knows what to do with Bachelet. She's not a god-awful President but she's barely above mediocre in comparison with the rest of the back-to-democracy era.
She has however been lucky considering how the right wing somehow phased off "mischievous evil genius" mode somewhere in the early 00's and now seems stuck on "just plain fucking stupid" mode. I mean you've got congressmen and senators wanting to get the divorce ban reinstated, calling the morning-after pill a work of the devil and a tool of mass genocide, and yelling about how since people now have to line up for half an hour to take the bus it's Salvador Allende all over again and they just might want to bomb the Moneda again, just in case.

Der_Lowe, In University you still need some basic PE credits...like one class per year. I took Rock Climbing and Yoga for mine.
Not where I'm going, although the University has a sports centre that I can join. I also get free health care, maybe a scholarship, and meals for 1 peso (0.3105590062118012422360248447205 USD).

In the U de Chile there are PE courses that you can take instead of a normal elective course, but it's not mandatory. I took Wu-Shu for a couple of weeks before I realized that I couldn't tell the damn difference between Nangchuan and Wang Tan or whatever those stupid poses were called. Plus I don't know why they chose such a gay-ass name when it's just plain Kung-Fu.
So instead I just took a History course from a commie Gandalf look-alike.

Big middle class school, 30-40 students per class; most students also practice a sport, relatively diminishing my skills. Boys do not mix with girls for PE.

I'm one of the worst soccer players I've known, which says a lot coming from a Chilean. I was decent enough at basketball.

I'm ok with all of you crybaby punks as long as you cut it out with the pompous-ass Roman talk. It's annoying and unrelated to anything being discussed anywhere. You people want to babble about Biggus Dickus or Incontinentia Buttocks or whatever, go make a Roman Club at C&C. It'll fit in wonderfully, ringht between the Anime Rape Club and the Fun Math Crew.

So, yeah, to me it doesn't sound as a great idea to set a whole lot of precedents regarding people not having their rights met properly, regardless or the atrocity of the crime. Today's child rape/murder, tomorrow's multiple homicide, then gang shooting, then armed robbery, then burglary, battery and whatnot.

Yeah, it's a common misconception. People don't become successful or fortunate out of being Freemasons, they become Freemasons out of being successful and fortunate.
Basically, there has been no real point beyond monthly punch and pie in Freemasonry ever since the 1950's or so.
All that aside, I think that my great-great-grandfather or something was a high-standing Mason

Apparently his best works are huge and expensive, but some of his novels could be out there for a reasonable price. Only thing though is that I somehow thought that "Detectives Salvajes" would have detectives on it. It doesn't. Bleh.

Watch out for the incense, though. My mother said that she never followed her parents' Orthodoxness because as a little girl all she could remember was getting a big cloud of smoke in her face coming from "a big bearded man waving around a metal thingie".

Regarding the Iranian TV show, I wouldn't consider it as an element of political significance. Even though maybe in the US a (relevant) state-owned TV station is synonimous with a machinery of government communistic propaganda, many public stations enjoy a fair degree of independence. If anything, this shows that the Iranian people aren't so keen on hatin' the jews as Ahmadinejad would wish, but it's not necesarily a sign of goodwill on behalf of the Iranian goverment.
