Who would have thought that right-leaning Latin American head of states could take things so personal. Nevertheless, Calle 13 was expressing the opinion of a good percentage of other Latinos in that sentiment.

The term ?Paramilitar? is a derogatory and offensive word. Colombia has had thousands of people killed by the association of drug cartels and the ?guerrilla?. Uribe has been fighting them in order to have a peaceful country. To call Uribe ?paramilitary? is an insult. People that do not know what is going on in Colombia should stay out of it.

It is almost as if a Colombian artist goes to Puerto Rico with a T-shirt saying ?Puerto Rico is not good to be a USA state.? It is offensive. What Puerto Rico does internally is a decision of the good people of Puerto Rico knows

It is a shame that Calle 13 insults not only Uribe but the thousands of people killed by the ?gerrilla?. People should mind their own business and let other countries govern themselves as best suited. Educate yourself first and respect others. Do not use the lives of death people to gain publicity. Is it maybe that Calle 13 can?t cut it just with their music and have to stick their noses where thy do not belong. I bet if one of the members had a family member killed by the geriila they would not be mocking the peace Colombia struggles to obtain.

well Mr. Boriqcanprince...is the little boy from a little island mad at Colombia? aww boohoo jaja. It is a simple fact so I will explain it in small words so you can understand. Calle 13 offended Colombia and we do not want him there. Simple as that, nothing more nothing less. And that comment you made about "biting the hand that feeds you"..jaja. You make me laugh. Actually we feed ourselves not like a good majority of you boriqcanprinces where welfare feeds you and then feeds your 6 kids and then feeds your 6 kids kids. But thats ok because then they can save up money and buy those 93 honda civic hatchbacks and put some 20's on that %#&@$!..jaja...So get that constipated look off your face, get your facts straight and get back to cleaning the toilets in that office where your boss took that wackass picture. Oh yea, one more thing, the word is idiot not idouit...you idiot! jajaja ...QUE VIVA MI COLOMBIA HP!! VAMOS MEDALLO HP!!! Paisa naci..Paisa me muero!
