I consider that topic that Bob (SirGH) links to a true disgrace to the name and reputation of all mexican traders. I can see that it is most likely a depiction of the actual way many mexican traders conduct themselves but I know for sure I'm not like that.
There's a bunch of cultural issues put in evidence in that post, like I've said before, and that leads to misundertandings. This doesn't rule out the posibility that there are assholes in my country, like there are those everywhere. I don't really think that the assholes per square kilometer ratio is bigger in Mexico than everywhere else. Yet, this jealous, informal and unreliable trader image is negative for the rest of us who are not like that... :S[/QUOTE]
I know you're not like that! I'm just reporting history as it is. I think I've made it clear that not every Mexican trader is like those ones I've dealt with. But I can't deny that they are the worst I've ever dealt with, and it was many, many people.

I used to like Shakira before she sold out...
...and I'm not talking about selling out shows.[/QUOTE]
So I assume you don't like The Works or A Kind of Magic? haha :) Just kidding. Shakira's first album was very good, she was a very good composer and had lots of good songs. Her second album was good but I didn't listen to it as much as to the first. I haven't listened to her later releases, apart from what I've seen in videos or heard in radio. Yes, she most certainly sold out, like you say it, but she puts on a good show. It's not Queen, but it's good, haha :).
I'm only going this time because a female friend wanted to go. Then I bought several tickets to re-sell them and so my ticket was free, hehe :). No harm done to my economy.[/QUOTE]
I'm not crazy about 'The Works', but 'A Kind of Magic' is one of my favorite Queen albums.
Now speaking of Shakira, you're talking about her first two albums, which I believe might be 'Piez Descalzos' and 'Donde Estan Los Ladrones'. In fact those two albums were her 3rd and 4th. The first 2 were only released in Colombia, and they were a commercial flop, that's why not many people know about them.
It didn't bother me that Shakira recorded in English, but what bothered me is that the new tracks sounds so unoriginal and too mainstream pop. 'Whenever Wherever' was a good song though.
What really made me despise Shakira was when she recorded that reggeaton shit 'La Tortura'. She really sold out by following the stupid trend. Anyone with an IQ over 80 can see that reggeaton is nothing but crap.
