The Living Dead - Argentina

Argentina's battle with the lethal narcotic Paco, often referred to as 'the drug of extermination', is slowly destroying the people of Buenos Aires. Can the resistance fight it before it's too late?

Sold for a meagre $1 a packet, Paco is said to leave its victims in a zombie-like state. As the drug becomes readily available to the younger generation; parents are stepping in. One mother states, "going for a walk is like walking in hell lately, because of the Paco problem". However on the drug circuit: "there's money at stake and it takes away their power", and abundance of Paco; will make this fight harder than ever.

This is the future of most all cities if people keep moving into them. Because of TV, masses around the world have now left the self sufficient lifestyle of farming in the country and taken up thinking that living the modern western life in cities is what they must do. People move into cities, get no jobs and no money for food and are lured into drugs which turn them into addicts, then their body is taken over by the drug and they go into criminality to feed the monster of their addiction.

Sad story. I remember my parents telling me when I was a kid that Argentina was a very good country to live in, of course that was before the bankruptcy.

So the 2of you think this is a solution? Why? Why waste your energy and time to be so hateful and crude? By no means am I judging or implying that I am better, I just want to understand where stuff like this actually comes from, and how somebody can be so ridiculously discustingly mean. Get over the homophobia, if for some reason something turns u on and u don't understand why,Take a chill pill and accept it, its not ur fault its not a gay persons fault. Therapy, anger management? take care

@cmv88 es chiste, le echas la culpa a los extranjeros por que ellos caen en el vicio, los narcos, carteles o como le llamen no tienen nacionalidad, argentinos mexicanos chilenos estadounindenses etc hacen plata/negocio de estos consumidores, que en su ignorancia hasen ricos a otros desgraciados, mientras ellos se pudren. Es una lastima q suceda esto, lamentablemente seguira sucediendo, si nos seguimos echando la culpa q si son extranjeros o nacionales lo q consumen. Prevencion a los padres!
