I don't know if I'd like Uruguay. I hear they're passing through difficult economic times, as is Paraguay. Argentina's economy is booming, but there's lot of problems politically, with battles between the press (El Clarin) and the presidents (the Kirchners). Colombia is in a civil war and Venezuela is a joke under Chavez. Ecuador is facing a coup d'etat as we speak and Bolivia almost went to civil war the time Evo Morales was elected. Brazil is also very violent.

Chile & Argentina  And Jibaro, I know South American history is full of Coup d'états but I'm talking about right now, not about the 'history'. So TODAY what do you think is the best South American country to live? xD That's the question  I personally go with the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile & Uruguay) |

I am Argentinean, and if I had a lot of money I would live in Uruguay next to the beach and travel 2 or 3 times per month to Buenos Aires to have fun.

I like exotic landscapes and lands, and rather deserts than jungles and rather uninhabited than overcrowded, and rather well-balanced societies than blatant inequality.
So I guess Chile, into the south, is my choice. |

Brazil is also very violent. It depends where you live. Brazil is not a jungle as movies like City of God wants to sell (those extremely violent favelas are the minority). Most favelas have problems of security and drug-dealing, yes, but people are not murdered everyday. If you live in a middle-class neighborhood, you are going to be safer than in a Barrio Miseria or poor place of Buenos Aires. |

Not surprised that this thread was started by Nordenskjöld.
 Chileans like to brag about their prosperity and stability, and they're right to do so. That's what ultimately defines a nation's success, not unsubstantial things like its military record or its achievements in the world of sports.Anyway, I'm going to take the bait and say Chile. I like their generally Western mentality, they remind me of a confident Southern European country. Some people in this thread have said Argentina, but from what I've heard and read I would say the atmosphere is more depressing there, at least where the nation's future outlook is concerned. Argentinian history is one of wasted opportunities, faded glory and even general decline, which seems to be reflected in their perennial pessimism. Go to any Argentinian message board where politics/history/sociology are discussed and you will find people constantly complaining about the past, especially their military dictatorship and the Falklands War. They seem to be among the most intellectually-minded in Latin America, but this is not really translated in a productive and assertive attitude; therefore, I still prefer Chile. |
