    This article adds to our knowledge about organized crime in Ecuador, and its spread to other parts of South America.

    I Argentina doesn't nip a similar situation in the bud, and very quickly, this kind of violence will escalate well beyond Rosario.

    "South America now produces more than twice as much cocaine as it did a decade ago"

    I've never been to Ecuador but always considered one of the more stable places on the continent. I've much to learn.

    I've never taken a drug in my life. They have always scared me so whilst schoolmates were trying all kinds of stuff I never indulged and have never since.

    But here's the thing. Cocaine is so pervasive in the UK. There's really never a time you don't see 2 guys go into a toilet cubicle together when you're out and about. And they haven't gone in there to fiddle with each other.

    Never tried cocaine either, but I've had the odd spliff or two which just made me fall asleep.

    Not the desired effect I was hoping for :facepalm:
