Disclaimer & comment rulesBrazil has complained, now the EU has complained but still Argentina deny that there is anything wrong! Denial in the face of evidence to the contrary is clearly an Argentine trait.
Jul 05th, 2010 - 05:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Did I read that right? According to Argentina the EU is wanting to divide Mercosur.
Jul 05th, 2010 - 06:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is having paranoia a criterion to be an Argentine politician?
I'm sure it helps......
Jul 05th, 2010 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yep! AFIP makes life difficult for everyone. My company sells many machine / equipment spare parts to clients in Mercosur, notably Brazil, Argentina. Priority airfreight from Europe to SA generally takes 4 days to accomplish. AFIP takes 30-36 working days to “check ” the import before releasing it to the forwarder. In Brazil, this procedure takes 10-15 days. In Mexico 15days, in Chile 10days, in China generaly 5-10 working days within the associated European economic zone - 1- 4 days.....we even have a budget to assist the AFIP processing time for urgent deliveries because these idiots are eihter on mate break, fast asleep, or drawing salaries under false pretenses.

Jul 05th, 2010 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0globetrotter - By now, you should know that someone in AFIP is waiting for a “little fiddle” in order for your goods to go through the system.
Jul 05th, 2010 - 01:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What problem ?? people here talk about problems !
Jul 05th, 2010 - 04:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't see any problem here, all I see is EU taking UK side on Malvinas and being left out of Argentine, we don't need anything from EU if they will stab us in the back, go home stop bugging the Argentine people with your problems, maybe EU could mention the Malvinas problem to the WTO while they are there. LOL.
If they are not with us they our enemy, it's really too bad that they sided with UK really, now south America will have to go back to selling cheap farming produce and they will have to cry to WTO as we cry to UN for Malvinas.

'we will have them in stock in a week... they are with the Aduana' ' How long have they been with the Aduana??' ' two months........
Jul 05th, 2010 - 09:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0we have millions of immimigrants waiting for over 6 months for their legal status in EU and EU is worried about a potato sitting at “ADUANA” ? Who is the racist harrier ?

Jul 06th, 2010 - 09:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your “Land or People” question has been answered best by the most intelligent Briton in her: Mr Hoytred.
I quote him:
“Now the Antartic is the future issue that will energise the world and it'll depend on how important the Falkland Islands are viewed in that context. This I guarantee, if the Falklands were handed over, there would be no corresponding handover of South Georgia or the South Sandwich Islands (already split away in case the Islander's change their minds?) however the Falklands offer more habitable facilities so no, I can't see Argentina getting them even if all that was left were penguins!”
On second thoughts .... if I'm the most intelligent Brit here then maybe we are in trouble!

The editor who blocked this ranting clown was kind enough to note that it was for ”Disruptive editing”. Given the words used by the ranting clown, I call it racism. And if you or he don't like it you can shove it where the sun don't shine. Supercilious drongo.
Another one who thinks we still rule canadia? I understand when it's one random uninformed person.
Jul 06th, 2010 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But i remember their president asking the queen to give back the islands, the nations leader does not even realise that we are no longer ruled by our queen? Quite embarrasing really.
Actually, it was Venezuela's resident idiot.
Jul 07th, 2010 - 11:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0LOL harrier my comments are suported by facts, 10th of thousands natives in Canada were separated from their families, stripped of their land by white Canadians who exploit and pollute the land and guess what the UN does nothing for them, but when 2000 white pyrats attept to steal land from latinos they are up in arms, enought said, there is nothing to prove here when facts themselves speak for me, if you still don't believe how racist the white people are check how illegal inmigrants are treated in EU and USA and compare it to what the UK expects for their white pirat colony, illegal aliens are not welcome anywhere in the world, not even the white ones.
Jul 07th, 2010 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What about the natives in your homeland?
Jul 07th, 2010 - 07:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How illegal inmigrants are treated in the EU? badly? are you sure? over here they give them a house and benefits, its a big problem.
Are you aware yet that canada is not ruled by the UK? Think i've told you on six occasions.
I llive in Canada and believe me Canada doesn't run their coutry, we are a province to USA and UK, didn't you noticed it ? or are you still in first grade ? even a Canadian can't argue with that, the facts is still ovious illegal alliens from latin america and the rest of the world are treated worst then white people, I am still wondering why.
Jul 07th, 2010 - 09:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“we are a province to USA and UK, didn't you noticed it”
Jul 08th, 2010 - 08:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0This sentance proves that you are unworthy of the internet connection you use.
@gassy. You have it wrong. YOU are treated worse than everyone else. This is because you are a bigoted, racialist, ignorant, stupid, brainless, mindless, despicable waste of space. Lord alone knows why the Canadian authorities leave you alone. Oh, of course, it's because you're a wetback, aren't you? Sneaked over the US/Mexican border, travelled north and sneaked over the US/Canadian border. A double illegal!!
Jul 08th, 2010 - 01:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you don't like the country you are (illegally) living in, why don't you go back to your home s**theap?
Harrier I know how the brits are there was no need to descrive them, and by the way Canada and USA are my land not yours maybe fakland really got to you head and the fact that you guys polluted the gulf of Mexico do to the british racist ways, now BP treats North Americans like wetbacks as you call them, and believe me they had it comming to them, how is that line ? “stupid is as stupid does”. America is my land no border can keep me out the EU and UK can look from far away and STFU.. all we need you for is come to give us money other then that you are not welcome.
Jul 08th, 2010 - 03:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That entire rant does not make any sense. But it's funny as hell.
Jul 08th, 2010 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know zethe it was writen for people with at least a working neuron, I was sure none of the brits would get it. but that is ok they are irrlevant here this is a report for China and Argentine, the brits in here are trolls who come to do what they do best PEST. and now everyone can lought at you again with my comments, I have a question for you why do the brits call Americans wetbacks ?? is it because BP pist their water in the gulf of Mexico ??
Jul 08th, 2010 - 05:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know, i've not heard the term personally. Around my area we call them americans or yanks.
Jul 08th, 2010 - 09:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for the pervious post. It's funny because it it's so rediculous.
“usa and canada are my land not yours maybie falklands got to your head”
...? What a completly random statement, especially after it took me three days to convince you that canada isn't UK territory.
You keep going on about us being racist, and yet you continue to spout racist and homophobic messages all over the forums.
the last sentance doesn't even make sence. the UK does not give money to USA Canada or argentina.

Jul 08th, 2010 - 10:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A nuke wouldn't help you. No missile has the range for it to reach the UK From argentina.
Jul 08th, 2010 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also, why a nuke? we've never threatened to nuke your nation, i don't see why it's nessacary. And to be honest we aren't exactly being aggressive towards you. In the last conflict if we wanted to we could have attacked your mainland, but we didn't. we would only use military force against you in defence.
Defend against invasion? we aren't planning or have never planned on invading your nation.
who said we need to send a missile into UK they ship meat and other stuff to UK I think it would be better to get a few nukes plant them in UK and then ask them to leave the island of face extermination if they don't leave we detonate it right in the heart of london, then we annex it to Malvinas and we turn it into one of our provinces, since they being trying soo hard to become Argentines, we need nuke to protect Argentina from a nuclear sub and the british troops in Malvinas, we don't want UK to arm Malvinas the way USA armed Israel, in any case we should get armed before they coe taking more land we all know they are headed to Rio de La Plata, or did you already forget 1830 ? in any case i am not taking the british words for it I rather have Argentina ready to defend Malvinas since UN seems to be irrelevant, you already did invaded malvinas and the colony is occupying our land, I think that act should tell our politicians we need to get nukes and defend ourselves from british invation, we could have deported all the ilegal aliens from Malvinas but yet we let them survive, they are lucky the junta was working for UK otherways they would have ended up like the 30.0000 desaparecidos, they will not be soo lucky next time I assure you of that.
Jul 08th, 2010 - 11:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A nuke would not help your nation in any way possible. The only thing you could do is nuke the islands which would be a bit counter productive.
Jul 09th, 2010 - 12:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0You would be better suited using the money to sort your armed forces out, they are a joke.
Like i've said. Our nuclear sub is not armed with nuclear missiles. It's an attack sub for anti ships, possibly carring Tommahawks.
We aren't arming the islands. They the equipment needed to sink any landing ships, destroy any aircraft or repel a small commando raid. They don't need anything else.
Either way starting a war would be silly for your nation, We have a greater capacity for war, it would just be embarrasing.

Jul 09th, 2010 - 09:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0All except the usa, yes. As only the US has ever used one. So they are for show.
Look, at 27, gassy has found a new word, “neuron”. It's a pity that the person writing the comment doesn't have one. In a thread of 36 posts, including this one, gassy has posted 9 times. That's 25%. And he's had nearly 25% removed. That has to be good going.
Jul 09th, 2010 - 07:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now to one of his points. “we have millions of immimigrants waiting for over 6 months for their legal status in EU”. The question is who is “we”? Can't be the USA as they like to tell everyone that they have the best country in the world. Can't be Canada as any proper Canadian would know that the best route would be via the UK. So they must be Argentines! So millions of Argentines want to emigrate to the EU? Argentina must be SUCH a great place if millions of its people want to live somewhere else! Of course, Argentina is a bit of a dodgy place. Belligerent, corrupt, egocentric, genocidal, mendacious. The EU, of course, is not keen on economic migrants unless they are of use. Now, of what benefit could millions of Argentines be to the EU? Street cleaners? Sewer cleaners? Refuse disposal? Don't need that many. So, there's the answer.
36: Aye canada is part of the commonwealth so unless im mistaken they can move here no problems.
Jul 09th, 2010 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Then again, i thought just about anyone could move here with little fuss?
35 zethe, we will not need to use them is the illegal colony in Malvinas goes back to their homeland britain, this is what they say they are british, sooo go home or else quit crying about how unfair big bad Argentina is, if you don't like Argentina get out of our land and nobody will slap you around, but all brits are alike they like being pushed around and cry like babys, all brits act like you homosexual, they stick out like flaming fags and if you say anything they cry wolf, typical british trade, make you wonder if they got this from the jews or the other way around.
Jul 10th, 2010 - 12:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UK is not crying about anything. Think you'll find it's your nation who is “crying” in every forum available to them. All the UK has said is “There will be no negotiations” Then reinforced the islands.
Jul 10th, 2010 - 01:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thats hardly the actions of a “crying” nation.
No-one is pushing us around.
if it's us crying #39 What's the EU doing at the WTO, does EU think we don't have laws and regulations in Argentina ?? Argentina might be irrelevant to UN and EU, but in Argentine our laws should come first for national securuty, if EU doesn't like the way they are treated in Argentina, I will suguest they take their busyness elsewhere, why would EU waste time arguing at the WTO when there are other people in the world who would be happy to make a deal, move on stop crying.

Already answered your dozy post elsewhere , Twinky. Don't waste people's time with multiple posts. It only demonstrates your inadequacy.
Jul 10th, 2010 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 040. Hi gassy. Argentina is a gangster nation. Argentines are gangsters. Argentina is irrelevant to the entire world. Argentina is a waste of space. Argentina is a rebel colony of misogynist transexual morons. Argentina is attempting to spread poisonous foodstuffs to the free world. Argentina is secretly communist and in league with Communist countries to take over the world.
we hear on the grapevine, that Greece is very upset at Argentina, making things worse for them, i hear that the GREEKS have offered to go all the way down to the south Atlantic to give the Argentineans a slap,
