What countries have the best exchange rate for the dollar?
In article 59mdb.7177$Rd4.603@fed1read07, James Blanford
wrote: Please help me to understand how they brainwash people in the US on this way... You might want to study a little bit about Joseph Goebbels, generally considered the "father" of propaganda and brainwashing. Excellent reference. The lessons learned from the Third Reich were very helpful in constructing the extremely sophisticated forms of propaganda that we have made a critical reality in Unitedstatesian political life. Goebbels was crude by modern standards. Endlessly viewed television, endlessly corrupted "news" papers, magazines, and the 500-lb gorilla--Talk Radio. 100% fascist, 100% agitprop, 24 hours a day. On *thousands* of stations. The fascinating thing is that beyond a certain point the targets begin dissemination of propaganda themselves. Endless "political opinions" recited straight from fascist radio at the water-cooler like they just thought it up; like it's *their* opinion. And this too converts other people to do what every good honest Unitedstatesian attempts to do: believe what they are told. We assume only the "other party" are the liars, when we're both taking water from the same tap. The words "conservative", "liberal", "tax", "welfare", mean almost nothing or are used to label the diametrically opposite approach. "Leave no child behind" is the slogan for cutting billions of dollars in education. And so forth. Back to the original post. Who wouldn't I want to go to the place where I can get the most from my meager moneys? I don't see how that's snobbery. That's minimizing my penury. I'd rather have two weeks in some place pretty interesting than 2 days in some place pretty interesting. -- ///--- |

that we have made a critical reality in Unitedstatesian political life. Goebbels was crude by modern standards. Your argument is deeply flawed. Propaganda isn't the critical reality in the US; corporate usurping of individual's input into the political system is. Everything stems from treating headless corporate entities as "people", free speech chiefly among those individual rights that have no proper analog to corporations. Back to the original post.

It's snobbery to think that value isn't an important criterion. You've agreed with me inadvertently. Re-read the thread, and agree with me advertently! -C |

All he had to go on was the reference to US dollars, the statement that he wanted value for "my dollar" and an email address from one of the major ISPs in the US and he narrowed it down to someone from the western hemisphere. It's fairly easy to see he's in the DFW area. BTW, there are plenty of snobs in the US, so being a snob is no longer an exclusively European attribute, although they don't teach snobbery in public schools yet. You have to go to a private school for that? ;-) Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

Please help me to understand how they brainwash people in the US on this way... I would, ordinarily, but it would be wasted on a Belgian. -Chris I can hardly agree more on that You probably know that since 1930 there "are no belgians anymore" belgium is an artificial country that will explode before 2020 |

It's not even worth responding to these folks that don't understand the
question. That's why I wrote ....." (obviously everyone is different......this is a matter of opinion)." Yea....I love DIFFERNT cultures, food, people, religions, etc. I just cannot visit them all at one time. I'd prefer to go some place, like a previous post said......that I can stay a 2 weeks instead of 2 days. "King" wrote in message ink.net... Hi, I'm planning on traveling the world over the next year..... One of my criteria is to travel to countries that have a good exchange rate with the US dollar. That way I can get more for my dollar. Anyone know a website where I can find this info? I've searched unsuccessfully thru google. Obviously I didn't put in the right words. No use going somewhere where my money doesn't go very far (obviously everyone is different......this is a matter of opinion). Thanks Mike |

Even in case it is the last criterium on his list, even then, it is banal, crude and vulgar to write such kind of statements. You're being utterly ridiculous. Economical travel is a perfectly valid criterion. You would need to elucidate on your assertions to convince anyone otherwise. -C |

usurped. They don't seem to know it. I wonder how they've been kept so uninformed. Couldn't be propaganda, could it? If you equate "commercial advertisements" with propaganda, perhaps, But I'm not here to make your arguments for you, just to carelessly puncture holes in them. Your inability to follow the thread seems almost Slovenian if not down-right Greek! The guy is trying to find a cheap place to hang where he can have a good time. Reread Kafka and come bank and genuflect at my shrine. Right, I know. You don't seem to know that I know. You also don't seem to know I'm not calling him the snob. I'm calling the snob who originally condescended to him, the snob. Having read "The Trial", I can see you could use a good walk in the woods, with companions. -C |

If you have any facility in Spanish, South America will be cheap. Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, alll good bets. I'd stay out of Colombia without a guide (preferably someone visiting home); the other countries I've never been or have no reliable info. -C |
