Argentina is confronting “clear inequities” as reflected by the incidence of “avoidable” maternal deaths during childbirth, the frequency of abortion among poor women and the concentration of new HIV infections in the most marginalized sector of the population, according to a U.N. report presented this week.

    second Highest inflation rate in the americas, a poverty rate above 40% and Argies claim that everything goes fine, even with one of the most corrupted government leaders in Americas. Che idiots are funny people, incredible, they are worry about the Falklands-UK that never was their property. Sad.

    We are still a very unequal society, we have a 33% of poor people, and our unemploitment is of 10%, this is not yet the country that we want and deserv, anyway i recognize that our situaton improved since that terrible crisis that we had in 2001, our povertys line increased in that time untill 53%, and the unemploitment level got to 22%, there is still a lot to do for our people, but i am sure that we will improve much more, in spite of our shamefull politicians, and of all those imbecills who like to criticise and throw sheet all the time to my country, bassing their argumenst in such a supine ignorace, and bad feith.

    I know what kind of job is that MercoPress. Always highlighting the bad things in Argentina. You could win the “Ortega y Gazet”.

    And Nicholas, well, poor idiot, his brain doesn't have enough energy to work. He needs more argentine soya. lol

    4. Jorge, you cannot hide bad things as you call them. You publicize and talk very openly about ALL bad things. If we dont, nothing will improve, and nobody will do anything about them. That is our problem..the people are not vociferous enough towards federal and national government. That is why “no hay progreso en el pais”.

    .....“Oh my gawd...this guy again....eyes rolling looking to the sky.”.....

    - Just for the record, I've been posting my opinions here for two years now. You'll find me several times, get used to it!

    .....“4. Jorge, you cannot hide bad things as you call them. You publicize and talk very openly about ALL bad things. If we dont, nothing will improve, and nobody will do anything about them.”.......

    - One thing is “to talk about bad things” and another is “to talk always and only about bad things”. I don't like that behaviour in media.

    .........“That is our problem..the people are not vociferous enough towards federal and national government. That is why “no hay progreso en el pais”.”.....

    - Do you really think so? What about other powers, like provintials?
    What about economic interests mixed with media, like Clarín and La Nación with Sociedad Rural???
    Progreso habrá cuando todos nos hayamos educado y expresado libremente. Mucha gente no se educa y la mayoria no puede expresarse libremente más allá de la coyuntura antigobierno de los medios.
    Podría yo expresarme a favor del gobierno en TN???
    Tuvimos y creo que tenemos una gran opurtunidad con la Ley de Medios, pero juezes que defienden los intereses economicos no la dejan salir adelante. Una ley votada democraticamente por gran mayoría y exigida por la sociedad desde hace muchos años. Claro, ese sector de la sociedad no se veía por la tele ni se escuchaba por la radio. Pero ahora, algunos juezes aduciendo irregularidades en su votación, prefieren dejar en vigencia la ley de medios sancionada por la dictadura, hay algo más irregular que una dictadura???
    Te digo esto por que por que la gente SI despotrica contra el gobierno, pero no sabe por qué lo hace, está de moda hacerlo. La gran mayoría de ellos los votó en 2007 y ahora no lo soportan. Preguntales por qué y no te lo van a saber decír.
    Por eso, progreso habrá cuando dejemos de creer ciegamente en todo lo que nos cuentan, ya sea el gobierno ó los medios.

    .....“Oh my gawd...this guy again....eyes rolling looking to the sky.”.....How did you know I meant you Jorge? :)

    Nonetheless, in this case, yes! I will agree with you Jorge however, we must continue unabated, to lobby against those who wish to silence and manipulate the “truth”. Their time is indeed running out...another 20 years perhaps, when los analfabetos have become alfabetos.
