Nope, it's pretty much true, that's why he is scared shitless of the US military coming to some Colombian bases. I wonder what they're gonna find
Well, the CIA loves the FARC. Since they have all the drug money we actually have some ties in there, too. Chavez isn't an idiot.

twice: 1st- i had 104 km's in the locality and my drivers licence was suspended for 30 days ( i needed to take an exam to get it back in that period, if not 90 days). And the last one- i passed a truck on the continuos line and my luck that me and 2 other cars were pulled on the right, i was in the middle. The first driver was a policeman so after 5 seconds of speaking with the other policeman was set free...behind me was a judge, so of course i got away too.
:lol: What a whack coincidence that was.

Well with those huge 5-lane highways in the US 145 doesn't sound too bad. Going that fast is scary though you gotta be sure your brakes are good. I'm used to driving at 120 nowadays
Esto fue en una carretera de doble sentido en una montaña. It's not scary at all for me, but I need to watch out for deer during this season.

that passat is still rollin' andy?
Oh, you better believe it. :D

If I have to pay a premium to the cops to use that 1.8 Turbo to full effect, I'll pay it.

That's for damn sure.

Caracas is probably mas o menos the most dangerous city in the world.
Not at all, prolly many more dangerous. For start, Mogadishu Somalia, most guns per capita city in the world. And not frigging pistols or uzis, but kids going around with aks, machine guns and RPGS. Now they started with bombs just for the heck of it too. If it was a Tarantino movie, I'll be laughing, but the shit is too sad.

Of course he isn't an idiot, that's why he has lasted so long, but I pray to God some really controversial thing comes up and he has to stop being president.

In Ciudad Juarez there are about 100 deaths per weekend.
In Caracas there are about 60.


The insecurity is out of control here
And you are supposed to be civilized? :eek:

Though "ze land of ze free" has insane death rates in its major states, so that doesnt say much of being civilized, if it didnt, they wouldnt be considered so.

Though some people may believe that Johannesburg, South Africa may be the most violent city in the world, it's not.

The most violent city in the world is actually the capital of Venezuela, Caracas; which is also the country's largest city. The city of 3.2 million has a homicide rate of 130 for every 100,000 residents per year on average.

To put that in better context the city of New York has a population of 8,274,527 people. If New York had the same homicide rate as Caracas then about 10, 757 people would be murdered every year.

I take the Caracas, and raise with some Cidade De Deus...

Police in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo have killed more than 11,000 people in the past six years, many in execution-style murders, according to a report released by Human Rights Watch.

Few of the officers have been charged in the extrajudicial killings, which are often labelled in police reports as the deaths of suspects who resisted arrest, the report said.

The 122-page declaration echoes a 2008 United Nations' finding that police throughout Brazil were responsible for a "significant portion" of 48,000 slayings the year before.

"Extrajudicial killing of criminal suspects is not the answer to violent crime," said Jose Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. "The residents of Rio and Sao Paulo need more effective policing, not more violence from the police."

Isabel Figueiredo, Brazil's coordinator-general of human rights and public safety, acknowledged that police violence is a widespread problem and "it concerns the federal government a great deal."

Ms Figueiredo said authorities have launched a series of initiatives to confront the problem, including training police to respect human rights and the appropriate use of force, in addition to the purchase of less-lethal weapons for state police forces.

Security forces "have begun to understand that instead of solving the problem, confronting criminals with weapons leads to casualties on both sides," she said.

Officials from the Rio and Sao Paulo police departments did not comment.

Not particularly, but when I know the words I need to say, I try to use them.

Honestly, I love it here but recently it has gotten a bit out of hand for me, I still need to graduate from college and when I do I wanna try to move to Australia with some friends or apply to MIT to do a MBA
There's no point in moving to Australia. They already have a water problem there, so in the long run, it might not be a good idea.
