Which do you think is the best South American country to live?

South America:
Brazil
Argentina
Chile
Uruguay
Colombia
Venezuela
Peru
Bolivia
Ecuador
Paraguay

Explain why

[seodiary]

Uruguay, It's economically and politically stable, socially forward, as well as safe. While it's not an economic powerhouse like Brazil, Argentina or Venezuela, there is healthy middle class and you still have have the opportunity to live a comfortable life. I haven't heard of much political unrest in Uruguay like in other South American countries, but a lot of political unrest is in the past for most South American countries anyways. I also think Uruguay is making great strides in modernization, much like their neighbor Argentina and honestly Latin America as a whole is moving forwards. The biggest plus for me Uruguay's is not plagued with gang violence, drug wars, human trafficking, etc. and lack of social unrest.

Personally, though I would want to live in Argentina, it's scenery is breathtaking.

[CenICrerflind]

Uruguay and Argentina. Maybe the southern states of Brazil but dunno, too much violence. Chile is doing great but it would be too boring for me.

[AncewwewBus]

I would choose somewhere in Brazil. Simply because i would integrate better than in any other south american country.

[esconsise]

People say Mexico is richer than Brazil, but from what I've seen Brazil looks a lot more prosperous than Mexico.

[videolkif]

If you have money, anywhere in South America.

By the way, even inside the countries there are good and bad places. In Argentina, I would prefer Buenos Aires. I would hate to end up in a boring place like in Patagonia, cold and boring (to live, not to visit).

Or in Brazil, between a Favela and a rich neighborhood. Even in Lima, Peru, there are good and bad places to live. Just like in Paris, London or Tokyo.

paraguay and uruguay, which seems not to have a dictatorial history.

Argentina, i live there half of the year (I'm there right now) specially the Buenos Aires City, Rosario and Cordoba. There are other countries more economical and political stable like Chile but they lack of the adrenaline i need. Argentina is very European, most of the people is very intelligent and reflexive you can talk about anything with the people, they are very fashion, excellent food, there is always something to do there, the best girls outside Europe. The people is very funny and youthful even adults behave like 16 years old (not like Europe which is becoming a boring place).
They have a problem with the politicians, but is not that complicated as the BBC or CNN depicts them, my family has a small piece of land there and we never had a problem, also Peronism is very cool, the problem are the internal conflicts between people in the power, Argentinians are very ambitious.

In Argentina the Jews and the Nazis are friends and live together in peace, also most muslims chose the convert to Christians. It is a Magical place.

Between 1930 and 1949, however, Argentina took in more Jewish refugees per capita than any other nation in the world, with the exception of Israel. Dr. Leonardo Senkman of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says: "the reopening of post-war European emigration to Argentina during the first Peron Presidency in 1946 pushed up the net immigration figure to 463,456 persons between 1947 and 1951..." the highest in thirty years.[6] The legislation, though already in disuse for many years, was repealed on 8 June 2005 as a symbolic act. The Jewish Virtual Library writes that while Juan Perón had sympathized with the Axis powers, "Perón also expressed sympathy for Jewish rights and established diplomatic relations with Israel in 1949. Since then, more than 45,000 Jews have emigrated to Israel from Argentina."

QFT

That's actually where I would prefer living.

I say Uruguay, Argentina, Chile. Uruguay on top of the other two, though.

[PetrZimin]

paraguay and uruguay, which seems not to have a dictatorial history.

Paraguay is so poor!

[Tic Tac Took]

Paraguay is so poor!

yes, but not dictadores!

[Greapyjeory]

yes, but not dictadores!

Paraguay has the record in the world of coup d'etats, what are you talking about? Learn a little of their history, it's almost bizarre. They tried to make a "Nietzche" colony financed by the man himself, to make an "Aryan race" heartland in the middle of south america.

And that's not the only one, they have other bizarre shit like "Nova Australia" wtf???

there are onlty a few latin american countries who haven't any dictadores in their history(including mine)

[kictainiSot]

Talking about South America's history is talking about dictatorships and Coup d'etats.

[Pateeffelty]

not only south america, but almost every latin country has their dictatorship era.

[iOqedeyH]

Chile & Argentina

Reason: climate, nature, architecture, peoples

so awesooome

[hrotedk]

not only south america, but almost every latin country has their dictatorship era.

I think a Coup d'etat is happening right now in Ecuador.

[GreefeWrereon]

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.

That leaves Peru and Chile, without going to the Guyanas (which aren't Latin American). If there's no earthquake, then I'd live in Chile. If there'd be another, then Peru.
