Why all the negativity about Colombia?

One thing that strikes me over and over when I come to this forum is how often folks post really negative comments about Colombia: the culture, the climate, the government, the difficulty of doing anything legal, the weather, the drivers, the women, etc, etc, etc………

None of the expats I have met in my 9 years here were in Colombia because they were forced to live here…every single one was here because they preferred to live here vs other countries.

And I am definitely in that group. I freely admit that there are inconveniences and downsides to living in Colombia, but taken as a whole I decided to live here rather than any of the other countries I have lived in or visited because for me its the best total package I have found.

How about a little love for this beautiful and amazing country and culture!

Aren't there downsides to every country for Expats even citizens?

Surely not everyone here hates Colombia?
