I'm assuming you're from the U.S. Obviously, you'll need a valid U.S. passport. VERY recently, Argentina began charging an entrance fee to U.S. citizens coming into Argentina, but ONLY if you enter at the airport in Buenos Aires. If you come in from Santiago, Chile, there are flights to other parts of Argentina, such as Cordoba, Argentina's 2nd largest city. This is NOT a visa, but an entrance fee that's good for 10 years. I believe it's close to 100 dollars. You will need a visa to enter Brazil legally. They force U.S. citizen's to have a visa and charge the same amount as Brazilians going to the U.S. as part of their reciprocal policy.

as the person above mentioned there is a new entrance fee when u fly into BA it is 131 american dollars they do this to try and get back at america for charging them to enter our country but anyway when going to brazil from argentina try and avoid the tri border area as it is known which is the area which paraguay brazil and argentina all meet it is known for drugs terrorist and scores of other illict things so do some research and find a safe way of entering brazil because you dont wanna b held for ransom also brush up on some common spanish and portuguese ( they are fairly similar) because it depends where u you go but sometimes you can find yourself in a situation in which nobody speaks a word of english it can be a difficult spot so its good to know enough spanish to communicate enough to get your point across also remember that you arent in united states anymore its a diff country w diff customs but you should b fine just always be alert and have fun if u have time of the oppurtunity to visit the city of tucuman, argentina i strongly suggest it ( some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen reside in yerba buena a small town just outside tucuman )

What I can give you is an idea of how to go from Buenos Aires to Brazil. If your friend lives in Buenos Aires, you may want to cross by ferry to the small and historic town of Colonia in Uruguay, and maybe stay for the day or spend the night there and then head to Montevideo, Uruguay's capital. I don't know what time of the year you are planning to come, but try to avoid cold and rainy winter (June-July-August). After Montevideo, you can head to Punta del Este, an upscale beach resort, which should be pretty quiet during low season (all months except for Dec-Feb). Then keep heading east, and go to la Fortaleza de Santa Tereza, in Rocha, and then go to the Fortin de San Miguel, and then you are in Brazil. I don't really know Brazil, but I would like to visit Curitiba.

Moving to Australia or Argentina or a European Country?
Moving to Australia or Argentina or a European Country?
I have looked into moving aboard and lived in Europe for a short duration of time. Europe tends to be more expensive to live so I am considering Australia or Argentina. I do not have any money saved up for the big move. Working two jobs now to make the bills and save a little bit. I have been accepted into the MSC information and library science programme at Charles Sturt University in Australia. Any suggestions of what is the best country that offers good employment opportunities for migrants and healthly living. I think I should maybe forget about Europe because I am not a EU citizen and also the cost to live is very high. Have considered the UK, Switzerland or Germany to relocated. I know some spanish, french, swedish and german. The US have not treated me fairly with some situations I have had. I been ripped off and lied to by corporations. Also, told to go back where I came from from a branch manager at a large US company.

I live in Australia, its gaining on the US expensive-wise. HUGE opportunities for employment over here at the moment. Mining companies need blue and white collar workers in regional WA and are paying $100,000 plus to get them! My family is moving to Newman (WA) at the end of the year to take advantage! There is a housing shortage though so you will need half a mil to buy a house or $300 a week for rent.

Is it wrong for Colleges to have communist leaders speak at the college?
Is it wrong for Colleges to have communist leaders speak at the college?
I had recently heard of a professor of some college that invited the leader of Iran to come over to our country and speak at the college. I feel that since Iran is in bed with North Korea, and North Korea was just busted because they were making and distrubiting counterfiet American Money in the United States and Iran is very vocal about being anti-American, this guy should not be allowed to speak in our Universities, and the Idoit that invited him should be tossed out of the Country or thrown in jail because I feel that he is a security threat to our Nation. People like that are threats to this wonderful country and they need to be dealt harshly with, because they sacriface the saftey of all the other people in America. When they sacriface our saftey, I feel that they should loose their rights. Just like criminals, when their actions harm or hinder another persons rights they should loose all of their rights. This is how we need to treat this college professor. He's a Trader!

No, neither the president of Iran or the professor should have anything bad happen to them. First of all, the leader of Iran IS NOT going to commit a crime while he is here. He will always be surrounded by police and secret service agents. Second, I doubt he would come for fear of assassination. Yes, he is a tyrant and all that, but what is going to happen if he comes? He's going to talk sh*t and a bunch of college students are going to boo him off stage? The leader of Iran meets with American and World leaders all the time. He is a world leader, not a terrorist (not directly anyway). He will try to give a motivational speech about how Iran is trying to be peaceful, it will be a facade and no one will believe him, and maybe he'll do some questions and answers that'll catch him off guard. Props to the professor. When you refuse to listen to your enemies side, why should they listen to you? When you refuse to hear their word, you too are causing violence in our world. A lack of communication and understanding causes a lot of problems in our world. Take what the leader of Iran says with a grain of salt and know that he is evil, but take the opportunity to listen to someone the whole world has their eye on.

I feel that you represent everything that is wrong with America today. First, the syntax, spelling and grammar of the above rant is something that I would expect to see from an eigth grader, and a poorly educated one at that. Second, it shows that you are very closed minded, to the point of being a bigot. Third, it's obvious that you didn't go to the lecture to hear what this person had to say, and yet you condemn it. Free speech shouldn't be limited to the 'warm, fuzzy' stuff. It's important to hear ALL sides of EVERY issue before making up your mind.

Wow. How is someone who has an idea they want to talk about a physical security threat? Those are the only ones we should be concerned about. This is America. It's perfectly acceptable to have opposing views and to express them in the appropriate places, such as when you are invited to speak at a college.

A college is supposed a free marketplace of ideas. People who are old enough to go to college are old enough to listen for themselves to all sides of a question and make up their own minds. We believe in freedom of speech in the US, and that doesn't just mean freedom of speech for those who agree with you, it means for everyone.
5 :
It's really a major ethics case. I agree with you 100% that it is wrong for this so-called professor to invite the leader of Iran into this country, let alone our colleges. The problem is that there are also a lot of far-left extremists who think there is nothing wrong with the ways of a communist country and even insist that the U.S. converts to communism. Therefore, no ethics are being violated (in their minds). **For those who believe that this question is ignorant, I'd like to ask you if you'd let Hitler (if he were alive) into our country so that he can speak to our college students?

in order to make good judgement in our lives, dont u think its a good idea to hear both sides? CRITICAL THINKING is what school attempts to teach us.

No its not because there is freedom of speech and just because he is a communist does not mean that he is going to try to convert people to communism. That college is not so smart in inviting him because right now we are having some serious issues with Iran over their nuclear weapons program

While Bruce J's words were a tad rough, I agree with him. This professor should NOT, under any circumstances, be thrown in prison just because he wants to expose his students to other points of views throughout the world. While we may not agree with a lot of Iran's president has to say, he has the right to say it, especially since he's a head of state, on his own soil, not ours. But he's a non-issue compared to the idea that you want to throw the professor in jail. The professor has done nothing illegal, and just because, you do not agree with what he's doing, does not make it wrong. And he is certainly not a traitor, and does not deserve to go to jail. And he is most likely a U.S. citizen, and cannot be "kicked out". Doing either of these is something Iran would probably do, not the U.S. And we don't need to be like Iran. Also, I don't think he's a Communist. More like a thorn in a very fleshy area of the body.

In my opinion allowing communist leaders speak at the college can be allowed subject to some restrictions such as it must not devole on the communist ideology and the nothing must be stated as against the college where he or she will speak. Further, the college must ensure the safety of the speaker specially in schools where there are many anti communist.

Is this what is happening in America?
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream. Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'" "Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "FIRST, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: "The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy." Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.". Lamm went on: SECOND, to destroy America , "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds. THIRD, "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together." Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities." "FOURTH, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school." "My FIFTH point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population." "My SIXTH plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties.

What grade(A,B, C,D,F), in your opinion, does this essay deserve?
Dear President Obama, We all enjoy a life of luxuries. Even those who can’t afford luxuries have them. However, these “luxuries†come at a heavy price. Cars, gadgets, the internet and electricity have become a part of our daily lives. Humans, who don’t enjoy hard work (no matter what people claim)enjoy the convenience these tool provide us. However, while we are carrying out our functions, getting upset over trivial matters, plotting, scheming, and being human, we forget on whom we are walking on. While we try to destroy others of our own species, we don’t realize that we are also destroying the one who conceived us: Gaea, also known as Mother Earth. We are slowly destroying our home. Like a cancer, the actions that harm the world keep spreading. Also like a cancer, there is a chance the disease will leave, but only with grueling treatments. And now we are standing in front of crossroads. Either we can heal the Earth, or we can watch it slowly die, plunging the world we know into a devastating apocalypse. There are many ways we can cure the disease that the “superior beings†brought on. Even the simplest changes can help us toward our goal of leaving the world the way it was before we poisoned it, plague-free. I won’t bore you with the standard “save water, save energy, save trees†advice. Only God knows how many times people have tried to get people to listen to that message. Truth is that people are hearing the messages, but not listening. The government and many charities are spilling thousands of dollars to try and promote these changes. There is another, more effective way. First, get actors, pop stars, athletes, and other teen idols to promote these changes. Second, put some boundaries on factories and oil companies. Last, try to slowly influence American car companies to become entirely hybrid. You, sir, have the most power to make an actual change in our country, if not the world. Adolescents idolize pop stars and models and athletes. After all, who wouldn’t want to be like them? Get them into the plan. If you get famous, rich people whom every teenager knows they will probably influence adolescents a whole lot more than Public Service Announcements. Adolescence is a great age group to target if we want to save the Earth. After all, they are going to be the future, but they aren’t so young as to be controlled by their parents or guardians. After all, we need to think about the future world. And the best way to construct the future is to have that future make the blueprints. I’m sure no one has forgotten the oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico not too long ago. When I read that the only “sentence†BP got for the spill was to pay for cleanup and other damage, I was horrified! An oil company such as that one is rolling in money. Money isn’t the solution to everything! And why is it that a person can go to jail for a lot less serious reasons, but a company that killed so many beings can’t? You probably know more about this than I do, but I think it would be a good idea to put some boundaries on factories and oil companies, if only for the sake of our environment. Those companies won’t have any lasting damage if the get a little less money. As President of the United States of America, you have a powerful image. Almost no sane person can contradict you. The best way to use this image to change the world is to influence car companies into becoming hybrid. You could also influence civilians to buy hybrid cars, maybe even possibly create a scheme, such as getting 30% off of a hybrid of their choice if they turn in their old car. If everyone in the country decides to drive hybrid, think of what a difference it could make.

Dear President Obama, We all enjoy a life of luxuries. Even those who can’t afford luxuries have them. However, these “luxuries†come at a heavy price. Cars, gadgets, the internet and electricity have become a part of our daily lives. Humans, who don’t enjoy hard work (no matter what people claim)enjoy the convenience these tool provide us. However, while we are carrying out our functions, getting upset over trivial matters, plotting, scheming, and being human, we forget on whom we are walking on. While we try to destroy others of our own species, we don’t realize that we are also destroying the one who conceived us: Gaea, also known as Mother Earth. We are slowly destroying our home. Like a cancer, the actions that harm the world keep spreading. Also like a cancer, there is a chance the disease will leave, but only with grueling treatments. And now we are standing in front of crossroads. Either we can heal the Earth, or we can watch it slowly die, plunging the world we know into a devastating apocalypse. There are many ways we can cure the disease that the “superior beings†brought on. Even the simplest changes can help us toward our goal of leaving the world the way it was before we poisoned it, plague-free. I won’t bore you with the standard “save water, save energy, save trees†advice. Only God knows how many times people have tried to get people to listen to that message. Truth is that people are hearing the messages, but not listening. The government and many charities are spilling thousands of dollars to try and promote these changes. There is another, more effective way. First, get actors, pop stars, athletes, and other teen idols to promote these changes. Second, put some boundaries on factories and oil companies. Last, try to slowly influence American car companies to become entirely hybrid. You, sir, have the most power to make an actual change in our country, if not the world. Adolescents idolize pop stars and models and athletes. After all, who wouldn’t want to be like them? Get them into the plan. If you get famous, rich people whom every teenager knows they will probably influence adolescents a whole lot more than Public Service Announcements. Adolescence is a great age group to target if we want to save the Earth. After all, they are going to be the future, but they aren’t so young as to be controlled by their parents or guardians. After all, we need to think about the future world. And the best way to construct the future is to have that future make the blueprints. I’m sure no one has forgotten the oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico not too long ago. When I read that the only “sentence†BP got for the spill was to pay for cleanup and other damage, I was horrified! An oil company such as that one is rolling in money. Money isn’t the solution to everything! And why is it that a person can go to jail for a lot less serious reasons, but a company that killed so many beings can’t? You probably know more about this than I do, but I think it would be a good idea to put some boundaries on factories and oil companies, if only for the sake of our environment. Those companies won’t have any lasting damage if the get a little less money. As President of the United States of America, you have a powerful image. Almost no sane person can contradict you. The best way to use this image to change the world is to influence car companies into becoming hybrid. You could also influence civilians to buy hybrid cars, maybe even possibly create a scheme, such as getting 30% off of a hybrid of their choice if they turn in their old car. If everyone in the country decides to drive hybrid, think of what a difference it could make. Getting everyone to drive hybrid could possibly stop the ozone layer above America from melting(which is bound to happen if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels).

How can I save / make money on my travels???

I've saved up some money but not as much as I hoped and I am going for 5/6 months in about a month. Does anyone know ways I can save/make money while I am out there???

Wow, good for you. Enjoy the life while you can. If you can get in contact with some travel companies / magazines maybe you can write some travel articles. How old are you? If you are realtively young 18 to about 30 maybe you can earn some money on the beach if you go there. One thing you need to remember. If you are not a citizen of that country, then you may be violating the laws of that country by not having a work permit. I see you will be hitting a lot of countries that require visas in advance. Have you taken care of all your visas? http://www.samspassport.com Whatever happens, enjoy your trip.

I would cut back my intinerary to say this time the Dominican Republic and Cuba. Save it for another time and go for Mexico through Costa Rica by bus, not expensive and good buses Then fly to the mainland of South America, Colombia or Venezuela. In Colombia you can take a boat down the Amazon from Letiicia, Colombia Work is not easy to come by and pays little
