I would visit Colombia again, but not for the BJ, Medellin is a beautiful city, safe as most major cities in the areas a tourist should be.
Hey, I frequent E STL, ISLE KC, and the Indiana Side of Chicago, and even I won't travel to Colombia, despite having access to it. Call me practical, pragmatic, or chicken shit, but there's a tax, and there's the constant fear of being murdered by cartel lords that just doesn't sit that well with me.

But to have Bjarg call me a clueless idiot? Come on. I know its not the Medellin of old, but it isn't exactly the Good'ol US of A, is it? I certainly don't enjoy the same rights or comforts, and as a Caucasian Male, I'm a huge target in Central/South America, and I"m not willing to risk that or my money. Security has always and will always be a huge concern of mine, and I honestly do not care to put myself into a precarious situation like that. If Bjarg couldn't take that at face value, then he's just got a stick up his ass about things.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I"m just saying it shouldn't be done. That is literally one of, if not THE most dangerous place on earth to count cards for a guy like me, and to insult me for feeling that way and expressing it as such is just low.
