    Oh Mujica

    I can give you two guarantees about Argentina. Actually 3.

    1/ their economy will collapse again
    2/ they will have a new currency before the end of this decade
    3/ they'll never have sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

    Both good points.

    C'mon. Keep going.

    Perhaps we can sent the list to Mujica.

    6/ Argentina will always blame someone else for problems it creates.

    Argentina is excellent at bullying countries smaller than itself (though that didn't work with the UK), so Uruguay will fall into that category.

    That's a yanqui parrotting what yanquis parrot.

    Normal.

    But you want my explaination? I couldn't possibly offer you one.
    I can only imagine... Inferiority complex mistaken for a superiority one, belly button complex in an advanced stage, heavy exposure to FOX News, lack of motherly love, natural born fear, allergic reaction to common sense, uncontrolled desire of commenting for the sake of it...

    It could be many things, most of them are even contagious.

    Just look at you lot...

    Must hurt to have their currencies compared to the US$.

    Do not suppose it ever occurred to the tossers that they depend on and compare economic success to the currency of another nation!

    A nation they take paleasure in deriding.

    And these are Ingleses parroting what Ingleses parrot...

    Of course the kangaroo has been successful. It is Aussie after all. Success is part and parcel.

    And the flying kangaroo is well known. So glad you know so much about my country. Unsurprising really.

    I was unaware that I have been a weasel. Please feel free to remind me when I deflect. Why is there something you wanted to know?

    As for shouting. Ummm nope. What is there to shout about? My country is descending into financial chaos. Neither is yours. I'm guessing the Argentineans will start shouting on streets soon enough with their pots and pans.

    32) I actually understood you were a girl... There are heaps of pictures like these because she always overacts when talking and expressing herself during her speeches, she always points her lips forward in the words finishing with the “o”s and “u”s. It’s common in few some upper class argentine women, but its quite crass

    ”Crime affects an economy in many ways. “The first effect that violence has on an economy is the way it limits international capital flows,” says Hugo Frühling, professor at the Public Affairs Institute of the University of Chile, who also participated in the UNDP study. “The high rates of crime also hurt people’s confidence and the possibility for entrepreneurship.”

    Well, that's not true.

    Broken promises, backstabbing, continual disappointment.

    So you see, Mujica has got it all wrong..............
