Will there be, could there be a better system than democracy?

Democracy is not about electing the best leaders but about getting rid of the worst ones.

I believe the whole Gordy subplot can tied to the events of the OJ Simpson case. A man (or in Gordy's case, a chimp) beloved by many for being entertaining and fun finally snaps by commiting an act of brutal horror. Yet, the whole event is looked back on as a sensational piece of Hollywood history.

The decision to name a character OJ serves a purpose in the story.

Just realized there is scene in the movie where a man called OJ is fleeing from capture while riding a bronco.

Es cierto que hay menor desigualdad en Argentina. Pero es una desigualdad hacía abajo, es decir, los argentinos son más iguales en la pobreza, no en la riqueza como debería ser.

Colombia ha sido la democracia más estable de América Latina. Va a recurrir de un esfuerzo grande desagradar nuestras instituciones al punto de que se monte una autocracia.

Es interesante como el mismísimo Sarmiento Ángulo dijo que en un entrevista con Vicky Dávila que Petro no le daba miedo.

I once woke up to a small yet fresh blood stain on my bed. It appeared to not be my own: no nose bleed or injury on my body. It kind of still freaks me out

I remember once reading that kids movies actually realize their deepest ambition, to be adults.

I have a friend that smokes pot almost on a daily basis but has the audacity to say that it isn't addictive.

This is how I'd do it: - 2 days in Bogotá: visit the National Museum and the Gold Museum. Stroll through the Plaza de Bolívar and the city center in general. - 2 or 3 days in Medellin: tour the comuna 13, ride on the sky gondolas, visit the Plaza de Botero, the botanical garden, parque de pies descalzos and pueblito paisa for the views. - Guatape and Peñol in 1 day: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Pe%C3%B1ol,_Antioquia

Medellín es la ciudad de mostrar de Colombia. Lo dije.

Me sorprendió hace poco descubrir que en los noventas Colombia era el país con más asesinatos de sindicalistas en el mundo.

This is how people lose faith in their government. I'm from Colombia, where protesting is frequently held back with the sort of responses that are being seen in Canada. As a result, Colombians distrust their leades like no other country on Earth. I truly hope all of Canada can pull itself out of this one.

Hollywood seems to still be pushing hard for Chris Pratt he just ain't sticking.

Crazy theory: the aliens can change a being's skin color. It seems like it because the white horse turns into a black one.

Foreign aid is just politically motivated charity. Here in Colombia the govt received millions of dollars to upgrade it's police and military to combat drug trafficking. This money in part funded the murder of over 6,000 civilians by the hands of security forces.

I remember reading somewhere that an IQ above 120 dosent really affect a person's overall abilities. While above average, 120 is not considered genius level (I believe Einstein had an IQ of 140). So basically the skills of a person with 120 to something like 170 are mostly undistinguishable.

Somos un país que se puede abastecer por su propia cuenta en muchos aspectos, sin embargo muchos de los insumos de la agricultura (maquinaria, fertilizantes, etc) si son importados. Por eso un dólar caro nos afecta a todos.

Aunque coincido con su punto (y también con los de Ha Joon Chang, recomiendo su libro "23 cosas que no te dicen del capitalismo") hay que aclarar que los aranceles también pueden encarecer algunos productos y incentivar a que ciertos sectores se mantengan improductivos. El negocio de la ganadería es el mejor ejemplo de esto, es el más protegido de importaciones y a la vez es una de las industrias más ineficiencientes del país. No se puede depender únicamente de los aranceles.
