Despite all the naysay, NYC is still the place to be. Still drawing countless of people from all over in hopes "to make it" in the Big Apple. As cliche as it may sound, it's true. Just walk around any neighborhood and you will likely meet people from places most never heard off. Like they used to say in Chile "Nueva York es el ollo del queque". ;)

Sounds like NYC is overpriced, too. Perhaps, even, for what it is. Who knew?

Anyway, it's a free country and I don't have to explain anything to you. Especially if you can't even give me a good reason (after I asked you for it) and you don't deign to sign in non-anonymously.

So, mend your ways and you might get something from me. Until then, read the FAQ.

Aside from the Santiago Metro, the NYC Metro is in a really bad state. Yesterday it closed down for the second time in three weeks. The NYC Bus transit system was overloaded and couldn't handle the demand.

Sherman, you still have yet to address why you choose to tolerate Chile.

Chileno, where did you move? Outside of Santiago?

You still haven't actually explained why you chose to tolerate Chile? And what is the clinical rate of depression in New York?

The depression rate in Santiago is 50%? How convenient for your psychologist friend.

Neither Bush nor Bachelet can get approval ratings that high.

NICE!!! Discussion...Echamos carbon?

Anonimo, nice to meet you. What is wrong with Bush? He is an intelligent and deliberative president who will add to our nation's proud history as no other has every done...

There is no one out there who hates Chile mas que los Chilenos mismos....and Pinera es dueno de todos los aviones, y los aerodromos en Santiago estan siendo cerrados, por lo tanto, veo dificil que un Chileno atacara su propio pais con sus propios aviones.

Posiblemente un milico resentido "por persecucion politico" como Iturriaga Neumann (DINA, Prats), o un milico a punto de suicidarse...como uno de los torturadores de Victor Diaz, del Partido Comunista...a lo Kamikaze..

O, imaginamos que los Mapuches tuvieran acceso a aviones, o si los millones de trabajadores explotados, endeudados a Falabella para comprar su pobre vision de exito y la clase media se levantaran.

Lamentablemente estan demasiado agachados por si mismos para hacer algo para cambiar su situacion.

But you are right, you can walk the streets of Stgo without fear of airplanes crashing, but there is nothing to fear, really, but fear itself..and plus, La Moneda, as well as the White House, is just a boring school trip. Who visits those places? and..you can't buy anything there anyways.

Lastly, Imagino que eres mas elocuente en espanol...por lo tanto sugiero comentar asi.

Some of your detractors should go ahead and drink some "hatetorade". Now, in all fairness William this little trick of sweet talking the metro workers will not work with most people. Attractive caucasian Chileans along with the Gringos can successfully pull stunts like that. Ironic, since those who can afford things are more likely to get those "freebies" in life.

what are you doing in my country, if you dont like it????

you fuckin morron!!!

al least, in my country i can walk in the street and nobody crash one of my own plane against a building!!! even i can walk into the goberment house and no body will make my a problem!! can you do that in the white house????

for what i see, i'm sure you vote for bush, idiot!!!

A variation on a theme. The subtle intricacies of stupidity, the same question asked...in a different way!

...and using the not-too-shabby logical fallacy called "it could be worse" in order to evade the real and present issues faced by one of the world's most economically unequal countries. And for a city that's not in the midst of full-scale war or dictatorship, Santiago has an abnormally high rate of clinical depression. 50%. That statistic comes from a Chilean friend who is a psychologist.

Anyway, the Santiago metro is really great because besides being overcrowded, it works well and it's easy to ride for free.

And as for your xenophobic "get out", well, I've already answered that question please don't bother commenting any more, you won't get published. Or maybe you will. It's so damn tempting to keep demonstrating the idiocy of my haters, you've kinda got me hooked. Meanwhile you're murdering my readers' brain cells, stop for the love of god!
