Lonely Planet: Bolivian Car Insurance – Bolivia video

LonelyPlanet asked:


Every weekend in Copacabana, lucky locals bring their new cars to church for a baptism. After they’ve dressed the car up in flowers and doused it in champagne, the priest comes around and blesses it (for a small donation, of course). It’s certainly cheaper and more fun than car insurance! Bolivia video.

Its too much.You can have whatever you want,you can go wherever you want.You can make as much as you want.Not just the us,but many countries,the wealth needs to be spread out,population must be controlled,earth must be first,mankind second,no more factory farms,you kill and clean what you eat.Its what is of worth that is warped and evil.
Malta is a nice place,I should come visit:)

Why do you call the 1st world evil? You think the U.S. does not give enough help to the world? Why does not thier government help thier own people instead of relying on every body else to help them. I come from a country that is only 122 Sq miles and our government did not say to hell with us people.

Ah, Bolivia! I’ve never been to Bolivia or Peru Or Equador. I should go to that region, visit several countries. But they have real car insurance there too, I hope? :)

Dude – no one deleted your comment, youtube hides your own comments. To see your comments click ‘view all xx comments’ below.

I think you are jumping to conclusions in more than one area. Take a moment, do some research, -think-, then make your comment.

Way to go some the scumbag who deleted my earlier comment giving this link…

The quran is beyond flawed.

watch?v=okIg5qSyPCo

The Quran is disproven in the video above as the Quran itself states it must have no errors or it is false (and it does have errors). If you’re stupid enough not to see the video and you’re a believer of Islam, Well… I don’t know what the hell to say to you.

and yes. He is the priest.
he-low!
:P

Daracon- Eve did come from Adam’s rib which is called a miracle. Just like Jesus was born w/out a father and Mary gave birth as a virgin. As far as your verse from the Quran it’s out of context & you know it. However the bible is mislead by the devil. Book filled with ****** and contradictions one after another is hard to believe is from God. Incest- Prophet Lot w/2 daughters Genesis 19:1-7, Genesis 20:12, corinthians 7:36-38 the list goes on. contradictions are countless. Quran is flawless.

get a life sad-o.

are you really that afraid of the beauty of islam that you have to slander it on youtube?

islamophobic i presume.

gaiamystic December 11, 2008 at 12:36 pm

There are plenty analogous examples from all Abrahamic religions.

bubbleheadtwink December 13, 2008 at 9:06 pm

You have taken it out of context, this passage is correct but ONLY during the time of war against mis-believers.

bubbleheadtwink December 14, 2008 at 12:08 am

Daracon75 you’re disgusting. You are so mis-informed it saddens me. That verse is mis-interpreted and the part of the human being made by a drop is also wrong.

Daracon75 December 16, 2008 at 3:10 am

Muslims are being mislead by Satan. Muslims follow a book that says men are created by a drop that comes from between a man’s back and ribs (which is physically impossible). The Quran says that if 1 thing is wrong with it, all of it is wrong. So the Quran is proven wrong unequivocally.

Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Its obvious the Quran is false & is from Satan

Pues tampoco es que se necesite tres dedos de frente para comprender que EEUU y muchos paises europeos son lo que hoy son gracias mas que nada a su bondadosa y desprendida relación y “confraternizacion” con los paises del Sur y de toda latinoamerica.

bigsteven1969 December 18, 2008 at 9:53 pm

oh my god(?) your so smart.you’ve been around!

Por favor si ustedes nos quitaron todo: nuestras riquezas naturales, nuestros intentos de una verdadera democracia social y equitativa, su progreso esta implicita en nuestro atraso y obviamente nuestro atraso hizo posible su progreso.

HardSkaPunk December 23, 2008 at 1:20 am

Thats indeed strange but its only logical for people to ask for divine protection in a country where many drivers dont have a license, roads have few signals and are the most dangerous in the world (the north yungas road, in the bolivian andes is ranked no 1)

anaanaa10 December 24, 2008 at 9:11 am

to chelsea , you need to learning english bb before then write , and I think you are very —— , and your knowaldge is vey bad …… hhhh

nhzrn December 25, 2008 at 3:07 am

dear chealsea,
get your statements right before commenting them here. dnt be such a *****.

twahashtini December 25, 2008 at 3:48 pm

They’re Catholics!
Muslims beleive in 1 God thats worthy of worship, not 3. Muslims follow a book revealed from God 1400+ yrs ago w/out any contradictions. Muslims condemn terrorist attacks. (hiroshima, iraq, Native Americans, hitler, stalin, vietnam…non-muslim attacks) Muslims are being attacked by the prejudices of the western media and their ignorant blind followers. Islam is the fastest growing religion for a reason. Read the Quran before swallowing Islamophobic internet B.S!

yourfriedreality December 28, 2008 at 8:21 pm

MUSLIMS are TERRORISTS.
MUSLIMS believe in a FALSE prophet.
Their prophet was a PEDOPHILE at best.
MUSLIMS are going to BURN to ASHES in HELL.
SCUM of the Earth.
Signed,
Chelsea.
