You must be a total idiot who has never even been to the country.  How about we exchance passports? You go live under his communism and I stay in the US. I just hope you get exactly what the people of venezuelan have gotten because of his dictatorship.

 

And just by looking at your posting history I can see that you are just a troll so I will avoid responding to you again.

I am a total idiot but you don't go into why you think so. You then attack me again by bringing up something that has nothing to do with the point you're trying to make. Therefore, it is you who is the idiot. Learn how to make an argument. You are obviously an infant in that arena. This site has become a perfect example of what a true american is, one who is overly emotional and values that which has no value and now it looks as though the same can be said for this particular Venezuelan.

Saludos. You are right - ignoring the troll is best.

I have visited your country several times for business and it is heartbreaking to see the devastating impact of Chavismo on people's lives and businesses. I hope and pray for a better future for Venezuela, w/o Maduro, or Cabello, or Chavismo of any stripe.

I also hope to be able to return someday - I really enjoyed my time there. Some customers of mine gave me a cap and jersey for the Aragua Tigers - Miggy's old team

Thanks harmon and it is a pleasure to meet you. I agree with you, Venezuela and especially Caracas is not a place to visit.  I have been mugged at gun point 4 times and it is not fun.  I've had several friends from the US wanting to travel there and I always tell them to go to Colombia, Peru, Brazil or Mexico instead.  Very sad.  There are many people there suffering a great deal.  I hope things get better soon, the few videos coming out from the internet blackout are scary, specially Tachira.

 

Aragua Tigers! Ha, awesome.  I've always been a Leones fan.

It is definitely better to be a Lions fan in Caracas than in Michigan.

One thing I really loved about visiting Venezuela was talking baseball with people.  After an event in Valencia I had to travel to Caracas by car.  My customer set it up with a personal friend who owned a taxi.  I thought I could get some work done on my laptop during the trip but ni modo, pues we wound up talking baseball the whole way. 

It was like being home back in Michigan - we ended up about laughing about the Tigers trading Smoltz for Alexander back in the 80's (he may have laughed more than I did).

Man, hazing has really gone farther than in my day, no one ever sent me to a South American dictatorship to protest for democracy and against duke. I'd prefer just to eat the cat food.
