Colombia is a badly potrayed country, half the definitions have arguing Americans and Colombians. I'm British, lived there for 6 years and explored it all, as any country it has it's crime rate, it has it's faults, but to instantly label it as the most dangerous is due to ignorance and false potrayal by everyone. Colombian day to day life is like that of any South American country, the poor get on with their lives, the rich get on with their lives and the guerilla try to screw everything up. Bogota is a beautiful capital city, Medellin has some nice areas and Cali is truly the home of salsa. Santa Marta on the coast has beautiful beaches and magnificient snow covered mountains. It is misguided for anyone to say that no one in Colombia consumes narcotics, in every country there are those who do, it just happens to be that in Colombia las FARC turned production into a business, however this doesn't at all help the country as they evade taxation and take land from the farmers.
It is also unwise to say that all those kidnapped are American. How many Colombians have not been kidnapped? I was present for the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt (probably most hated woman in the country) which was an amazing achievement, and she is Colombian, no matter how French she wants to be.
To finish off, Americans need to get a hold of themselves, no one is out to get them, you're not important enough for people to do that.

Get the Colombia mug.A colombian is person of well raised latin background, and is not subjected to the steryotypical latino image.
They are well dressed, well spoken people that come in a variaty of races and heritages. They are known for the best accent in the spanish speaking world, and yes THEY SPEAK SPANISH!!!!!! Everyone else who says they speak "colombian" are ignorant and probably cant even speak spaninh themselves.
Colombia is also known for the world's most beautiful men and women. Our people can range from dark to lightly tan to even pale skin. DON'T JUDGE THEM BY STERYOTYPES!
Although colombia has been known for drugs in the past, it is mostly European and U.S. user that believe in "colombian" drugs as the best.
The truth is that we colombian's are proud to be who we are.
Oh, and the guy who thought that Scarfacewas a useful reference to colombian's have probably never met one in person.

Get the coombe boy mug.Originally "colombre," this is a creature none have much knowledge about. Will someone ever meet one and live to tell the tale? That is indeed the question surrounding this mythical beast. Appears in a short story by Dino Buzzati.
Guy#1: That colomber has been waiting for me for weeks. I don't know what to do about it.
Guy#2: What are you talking about? I don't see anything.
Guy#1: That's the problem.

Get the colombian fever mug.People who have never been to Colombia need to realize that their comments are only based on ignorance and what the media has fed them. Mr.Valdez and Mr.Escobar are not the only people to come out of the country. People, like the Idiot that came up with definition #6 of Colombia, were probably dumped by a hot colombian chick because of performance reasons, and now refer to them as stuck up. Colombia is filled with rolling green mountains, beautiful flowers, oceans, emeralds, culture, fantastic food and gorgeous kind men and WOMEN!
