I personally don't have anything against Goblins but my grandmother still won't forgive them for the war.

[QUOTE=aydin690;52709976]You have a higher chance of getting murdered in central and south america than an actual war zone like iraq.[/QUOTE] Depending on the place* Let's not be this broad with our criticism, please. You're only skewing your own view of reality if you think of the entirety of Latin America as worse than a warzone. It's got problems, so many problems, and if I didn't agree with that I wouldn't be as eager to get out of this place as I am, but there's no need to be this unrealistic about it. Your average urban center is nowhere near the level of danger you'll find in places like the Amazon.

[QUOTE=The Aussie;52709760]God there's a lot of people here who sound like they've never left the country they were born in, whos idea of a holiday is sitting on a beach in the Caribbean sipping cocktails. You're not going to get kidnapped the instant you step off the plane in medellin lol[/QUOTE] You are posting this in a thread about a woman who got tortured, raped and finally killed as she was just kayaking around.

[QUOTE=CarnolfMeatla;52712927]You are posting this in a thread about a woman who got tortured, raped and finally killed as she was just kayaking around.[/QUOTE] She was taking her kayak through a stretch of the river that was renowned for criminal activity. This is fucked up and the people who did this deserve jail, but it also shows a serious lapse In judgement by someone who should have known better. It's fine to go to these places, but you've got to put more thought into it than a holiday to Ireland, NZ or something. It's just such a fucking shame she paid for this mistake with her life.

Just don't be dumb and research a while. Amazon is known for it's crime rates, be aware that the place you're visiting might be different from your hometown.

I don't see what we said as downplaying the violence, either. It's just about being a [I]tad[/I] more nuanced than "This entire continent is more dangerous than a war zone". I'd choose a trip to São Paulo, Cali or Santiago over a visit to Iraq any day of the week, wouldn't you?
