is it just me or do women from south america and eastern europe are very rich in values and morals?

is it just me or do women from south america and eastern europe are very rich in values and morals?
I have met many women from several countries from eastern europe and south america, for example I have met women from Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina, and in my experience, all these women are very rich when it comes to values and morals, for instance, they are very polite, honest, they never use bad words, they don't judge men based on how much money they make, they also oppose premarital sex.... why do you think women from eastern europe and south america are this way? why can't women from north america and western europe be like that?

Man, you're so right! my wife is from Colombia, and she's like that!!! it's not easy to find women like that! i mean, most women would never think on saving their virginity for their husband.
3 :
It's just you. Most every foreign woman I know either had kids before marriage, have kids with no marriage or live with their partner. Oh..I forget to mention, most American woman I know do the same thing.
4 :
It is just you. I've met rude people with no morals from all over the world, male and female. You are playing into a stereotype that has little basis in fact. Pre martial sex is something that happens all over the world, and women in most countries look to how a man could support them, especially in a country where women are typically stay at home.
5 :
i noticed you mentioned two baltics, latvia and estonia, but left out lithuanian chicks. they're definitely the exception. they're more materialistic, selfish and judgmental than the american chicks.
6 :
Yes, they are. I don't know, they kinda think the're more important and feel too proud of where they came from.

Why is the government in Argentina nationalizing all private pensions?

Why is the government in Argentina nationalizing all private pensions?
Some excerpts: Here's an excerpt from The Wall Street Journal story covering this outrage: "Mrs. Kirchner won't have trouble making the case for expropriation to Congress, which is controlled by her fellow Peronists. When the Argentine government ran out of money in 2001, it blamed the market and increased its own role in the economy. Since then it has imposed price controls, defaulted on its debt, seized dollar bank accounts, devalued the currency, nationalized businesses and tried to set confiscatory tax rates with the aim of making society more 'fair.'" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122471757680560465.html Do you think the Democrat party would have trouble getting something like this by the U.S. Supreme Court? Remember, please, Kelo vs. New London. Also consider the recent forced seizure of a good portion of several large financial institutions in this country. Could something like this happen in an Obama administration? What are your thoughts?

That is next on the Democrats agenda for change. The change they are speaking of is going from a democracy to a socialist dictatorship.

Our pensions are already covered but in the 80's under Reagan many were raided and lost leaving millions without their retirement checks . No protection existed back then and today it is all secured and insured .. NOw its not secure from the ups and downs of the market .

I think that even if thats what they want they would never admit that it could turn out like that.

I say let S. America have its socialist agenda. They resist all efforts to make themselves anything but stong, so do it. They will see, like the nordic countries have seen, that socialism just increases taxes for useless programs, ties the hands of the government to special interest unions, and raises unemployment considerably because true entrepreneurial folks have no incentive to start businesses that are going to ultimately be controlled by the government. So, in summary, let them do it and find out the hard way that they are misguided. Then they can go from being 50 years behind the rest of the world to 500 years behind, just like the countries in the Middle East. Maybe then they will even set up Monarchies again! How wonderful.

The most frightening scenario is the government seizing assets from the population. We are on that path now. I have doubled my income over the past 10 years and I am still in the same house living the same lifestyle. NY State makes sure of it by taking 20K in taxes from me along with 1/3rd going to Federal. It's virtually impossible to live the American dream anymore, and so many voters plan to vote to take even more for THEMSELVES. They believe the government will solve their problems despite the overwhelming proof that it is the problem. Ask them to prove that Social Security and Medicare (2 largest programs other than the military) and they respond with rhetoric and attacks on how racist and cold hearted we are. Both are on the verge of bankruptcy, and those who pay most of the bills keep getting nailed by our own government that acts like they care. They are no different than the Mafia. They make the rules and you shut up and pay or they'll throw you in jail. Edit: WHY DO THEY ALWAYS THUMBS DOWN THE TRUTH????? a bunch of F*&King thieves! Brainwashed kids who are voting for more stuff. This is where my hard earned money goes. 90% of property taxes go to the union, and all these kids on here don't even understand it. They listen when the unions talk about "the children" but ignore the cold hard statistics. http://www.myshortpencil.com/teachersalaries.htm There is another article somewhere on the percentage of NY State pension checks that are mailed to winter homes in Florida. The poor unions. They make twice what you do because their pension is worth millions, and they don't pay state taxes.

I think Democrats will do what is needed for the economy to bounce back, as oppose to Republic party who is driven by free market mindless ideologues.
7 :
I think it will happen here. It would only take two more liberal Judges on the Supreme Court to pull this off.
8 :
Most definitely. It IS a form of socialism and it would only outrage anyone who has ever worked for something in their lifetime. But those people arent voting for Obama anyway. The ones voting for him are those who dont have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, and they fail to possess a willfull urge to go out and get anything for themselves. A majority of them anyway. Of course, you do have these college brats whos tuition was probably paid for by retirment 401k savings and what have you. Bottom line is anything is possible. I would see that going over about as well as a turd in a punch bowl though, because, afterall you are talking about someones "life savings". Thats a tough pill to swallow especially when you didnt even vote for the guy. Lets say that did happen or even if a "scare" that it was a likely possibility, arent 401k plans locked in to where you cant possibly drain them if needed or stipulations must be met if you try to withdraw the money? I never liked the idea of me saving money I wasnt able to touch...
9 :
This may not happen immediatly under Obama, but he will certinly set the stage for such a takeover.

Where would you rather go......??

Where would you rather go......??
Buenos Aires, Argentina or Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic? I have to decide where to study abroad this summer for a month and I've gone back and forth and can't decide!! I would be going for the month of may and in Argentina I would stay with a host family and a hotel in Danto Domingo. I love experiencing new cultures, safety is a major concern of mine, I don't want to be too cold the whole time, and I don't want to be spending tons of money. In Argentina I would be studying globalization, environmental constraints, politics and economics and in the Dominican I would be studying the impacts of tourism on population growth and movement. I am hoping that someone with knowledge of the countries could offer me some insight into these two places to help me make my decision. Thanks so much!!

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
I've been to Peru and Ecuador. I assume Argentina is similar. I'd call them "developing countries." I've been to the Dominican Republic. I consider it "third world." More crime, less culture. I'd vote for Argentina, based on my feelings about the country's safety, its culture, and I think the program of study sounds more interesting. Also, staying with a host family is a major plus in terms of safety and also learning the culture. So I give a very strong vote for Argentina.
2 :
I'd pick Argentina, and especially Buenos Aires. I've seen it on tv, and it's a beautiful city with a lot of cultural things going for it. It's on my list of places I hope to see. It seemed very European, in a way. I'm intrigued. Argentina had some civil unrest in past years, but that seems to have passed, and the country seems fairly peaceful. The Dominican Republic has its troubles. I know it's better now - a lot of my Dominican friends tell me it's gotten a lot better, a lot safer - but I'm still not feeling the love on that one. I'd be concerned about safety. Civil unrest is not all that unusual there, and seems to be increasing. In addition to asking here, check out the listings for both countries on the Lonely Planet website, and in the guidebooks for young people that you can get in the bookstore: Time Out, and the Rough Guides are good. The Lonely Planet and Rough Guides tend to be quite frank re: safety and etc. In addition, the Lonely Planet website has a forum where you can look up old questions and ask your own. It may be a good resource for you, as you try to make this decision.

hey! im a dominican, and i've lived here all my life. The thing here is that the country is too corrupted and yes, crime is everywhere...is getting better, though...here you r deffinately NOT going to frezze, and it depends where u r staying in Argentina... public education here sucks, as i said, the country is wayyyy too corrupted. Everybody treats foreing people suuuuuuuper well, because we r a turistic nation, we feed on turist! (not literaly! XD) If ur going to a private college, like APEC you'll like it better. The public university though, is the FIRST one in america, i mean of the whole continent (proud of that!), so it has aaaa lot of history...but, there is way too many people, and, i hate to say it, dominicans are not the most educated people in the world, but hey! thats how we r!! also, if u r studing turism here, you'll be on the right place, cause turism is what is keeping this country up, and like, produces 75% of our income! Really, there are thousands of hotels, all the kinds, people from all over the globe. Also, you will be coming to the first colony in America, where Christopher Colombus set his hub for the expansion of Spain through the continent. There is not a country with more history and mixture of cultures in its folclore than us in America! we have the first hospital, the first cathedral, university, city, colony, CC house, street, etc... When my cousins come from the states, they love it here! "i wish i could live here!" and stuff, but hey! The ones who live here are desperate to get out...that's why im keeping a 4.0 GPA, so i can get a schoolarship and get out of here for at least 4 years! i think you would like it here, i mean, if it was more time, i wouldn't recomend it, the difference in culture and traditions, is toooooo big, but, for a month, i think it will be very insightful. Globalization you can study everywhere, but nothing better than to study in a hub of turism like in the DR!! There is not a country that looks more like Europe than us, since it was built by the spanish, most of it!! If u come, make sure u visist the colonial zone!! is wonderful at night, but if ur giong at night, make sure u are NOT alone, cause it is dangerous. Go in the day so u can take a tour! is soooooooo wonderful, is my fav place! if u can, go to Santiago to the Centro Leon! Is my favorite museum! It has all dominican history and culture in one building! The powerpoint presentation at the begining, almost makes me cry! is sooooo crazy gorgeous! there are tons of bargains in the colonial zone, in the street called "el conde", so u r not going to spend much! a dollar is 33 dominican pesos, so, do the math!! To resume, there is crime here, but if u are careful, you will be fine, i mean, crime is everywhere! you will love the summer heat, all visitors do! you'll leave with the hottest tan ever! you are going to learn so many things because you r going to live in a country that is devoted to serve their turists! i think u r even gonna learn some politics because that is always the topic of conversation here...trust me, u are going to understand what a third world country is, and that people here is not really miserable as people may think, but rather we learn to cope and be happy! i love my country, but like u, i want to expand my education and live in other type of place for a while...i would highly recomend u to come here! im sure you are going to love it! g.luck! check it out! http://www.dominicana.com/ http://www.dominicanrepublic.com/

Uruguay´s Suarez hand cheat - save score issue?

Uruguay´s Suarez hand cheat - save score issue?
First: in suplmentary time, Boateng make a penalty clear to Abreu, where the opnly one in that area and the referee can see him clearly. Second: The foul wich provoque the situiation (weirdly official transmition don´t give repetition of that play ;) was absolutely fake. Even people of transmition see that if you don´t see it. The 10 of ghana is offside after first head punch (amazingly the line man (who give the fake foul) don´t see it. Then come suarez foul. Concept of cheat: scape of the justice to take adventage EVIDENTLY, HE DON´T SCAPE OF JUSTICE, HE WAS FIRED, MISSES THE NEXT MATCH AND GHANA CAN WON TRHE CGAME IN THE LAS PENALTY!!!! If Gyan mistake, sorry for gyan, but thats the facts. If yopu are angry with someone, shut be gyan, who mistake the penalty. If Where the exactly opposite situation, and forlan miss the penalty, Who will be saying that gyan was a cheater? Forlan miss, guilt of forlan, is clear. Also I don´t heard anyone say that tha panalty against ghana by an australian player with thge hand in the line in the group phases was cheat Then when is cheat?? ¿When the shooter mistake? Then is cheat also when some player touch other in the area and don´t let him shot?? HE CAN´T SHOT, THE OTHER IS CHEATTER?? ANSWER: NO, is a simple penalty. The player stop a possibility of score, like the ball don´t cross the line, is not score, i a posibility, and the players can stop it, attending the consecuences,, of course. And what´s up with LUIS FABIANO? Because he make a score in a play twice touched with arm and hand? And what you say?? OH!, it´s sop bestifull thet doesn´t matter (second score against Cote dívore) And aslo was an african. And the referee make jokes with the situation.... Then, why he can broke the law so clearly, for those purist? What you don´t care is that there been a team that anyone wait, beside suarez pay, not like luis fabiano, and anyone say anything. And if you want to speak of cheat. Some europan country won a world cup stolen from semifinals to uruguay and argentina with other european and the local afetr stole the other europena: Was the only one time thy won a world cup, or has been in semis :-)))) THEN: those who say he is a cheater: 1) Dont see the match and repeat as parrots what they heard from journalist (this is a sport of very free interpretation) 2) Are envious (specially in south america) of that a small country without money can make this. 3) You ´never has play this game with the correct passion 4) You don´t feel this sport wioth the corect passion 5)You don´t know anything of this sport and say what you believe fron unknowledgement And if yopu are not here..... PS¿WHO WAS THE FIRST OF SPEAK OF CHEAT?? I want to believe that wasn´t the english in the press conference, english injured by the uruguayan referee uin the match against germanyy??? :-)

Learn to speak English before ranting like that because no one will take you seriously. I did see the match, I have played football with correct passion, whatever the f*** that means, I love the sport, and I know a lot about it, and that cheating asss hole Suarez doesn't deserve to ever play again for his country. What happened before the free kick is irrelevant. Ghana would have been much better off if there was no free kick, that way they wouldn't have had to take penalties with their hearts already broken. If you ask me, Suarez us an embarrassment to his country, football, and every football fan in the world. If you think it's okay for players to cheat and use their hands to keep the ball from going inside the goal, you're the one who doesn't like the sport with correct passion. Besides, what's done is done, there's no point in getting mad about it like a lunatic. I was sad that Ghana lost but now I'm over it, and Uruguay will need a ****-load of luck and 20 more pairs of Suarez's hands to beat Germany. Uruguay didn't even deserve to get out of the group stage, the only reason they did is because France sucked.
3 :
Uhmm, I don't know if it's just me but I really did not understand what you just said. But as for your question, for me, the game is called FOOTBALL, the rules says that you can use any part of your body except for your arms and hands.. so yeah, i consider suarez' move as cheating. But hey, desperation makes you do stupid stuff right? lol
4 :
Oh my God!! You Uruguan bastards are still alive?!! Get off n take your dirt away with yourself.
5 :
thats not cheating "xtine" it would be cheating if the penalty would not be given to gyan but you say cheating because gyan missed and ghana lost. if gyan had made the goal we would not be talking about this, what you want is ghana to win not matter what. and in the first place that ball was not a foul the player tripped and fell, so justice was made
6 :
The reason everyone says that Uruguay cheated is because it was a clear goal, its not like it accidentally hit him and might have gone in or not, it was a goal, he cheated and FIFA aided him by their archaic rules, it shouldve been a red card and a goal even if it didnt cross the line, I know sometimes penalties should exist, the case being if its a tackle on the player from behind or something, but in this case it was clear the goal should have been counted and the player given a red card, without a penalty, why? because thats as if youre denying the ball was ever headed toward goal in the first place, Uruguay cheated and Today they got what they deserved not even a Third place! losers!!
