Colombia is not THE most dangerous country in the world, but unfortunately it is well up there. Is it a fact? Yes, but a sad one. However, there is SO much more to Colombia than the stereotypes of cocaine and murder (I for one don't remember saying otherwise), and its many virtues far outweigh its few faults, which occur to a greater extent in Brazil, Venezuela, South Africa, etc.
First of all, Colombia is rich in mineral and agricultural resources: coffee, emeralds, flowers, etc. The quality of its coffee and emeralds is world-renowned and makes them very desirable.
Second, it is one of the most geographically varied nations in the world: it's the only country in South America (I'm not including Mexico or Central America) with an Atlantic AND a Pacific coastline, three ranges of the Andes run north-south through it (Bogotá is built on a plateau in the Andes), the Amazon jungle comprises much of the southeastern part of the country, and Cristobal Colon, South America's second-tallest mountain, is at its northern end.
Third, Colombians have a reputation in South America for being very cultured and sophisticated. Bogotá is one of Latin America's great cultural centers, and is renowned and beloved by travellers who have visited it (I'm not one of them...yet). And its murder rate, as mentioned before, is a LOT lower than my own country's capital, Washington DC; though both cities are getting better year by year.
So don't take offense if some people are a bit ignorant of the facts; you think it's easy for me living in New York and having to tolerate the outdated, uninformed, nasty crap I've heard about my city? Laugh, inform them that they're wrong, and move on to the next.

Get the Colombia mug.What is Coloniume?
Our ultimate goal and effort to create a massive, free coloniume network is summarized in the following structure:
U + ME = “COLONIUME”
You and I conjoin and build a huge free, cohesive, global colony that meets the interests and demands of each of us.
A completely free, decentralized, and government-independent communication network that will be implemented, developed, and expanded by individuals, organizations, and independent non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The main purpose of launching this network is creating and expanding a kind of completely free, secure, non-governmental and independent communication platform of the existing communication networks, so that it can be censored, restricted and influenced, and at the same time to make it impossible to disable communication and interaction with all communication networks and Internet.
In a general perspective, after its development and expansion, the coloniume will help the internet so that in case of internet network disconnection in any area covered by coloniume and without geographical and political restrictions, it will be possible to exchange information and data locally. And each of the nodes will be able to connect to the Internet and act as a bridge between the local network and the Internet.

Get the Colombian Dipstick mug.Backyard Colonic is a hygienic procedure by introducing a stream of water into the body via the anus at relative high velocity with a garden hose. This procedure is typically conducted in preparation of vigorous anal sex session. The first backyard colonic was performed at a hippie’s cabbage patch in
Berkeley, California hence the origin of the name sake.
