Jul 09th, 2010 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I understand now why you are having so many problems with Argentineans.
You say that people is occupying your properties, mugging you, robbing you, treating you badly etc.
Well.........Your comparison of our actual government with the old Juntas, makes me feel a profound and primal urge of slapping your face....................twice.
D’Elía has also admitted that he received $1 million (U.S.) from Chavez in Venezuela a few years ago to disrupt a meeting in Mar de Plata, Argentina because President Bush was attending.

#8. I would like to suggest you learn to read what was written elsewhere, before making stupid comments. I have no problems with my neighbours, I do carry strong objections however, towards those elements within our society which support extremism...left, as well as right and, I most certainly cannot condone the ever increasing crminal elements witin our society, who feel free to target the innocent and vulnerable. Most especially not when I or my family are affected. Gröfaz projected his image, influence and ideology in precisely the same manner. If you are unable to distinguish between this, and canvasing for political gain, in a democratic society, makes me believe you also support these methods.....head butt to your nose senor.

This says it all for any thinking Argentine person!
You are comparing some of the most abject beasts this world has seen to a democratic elected government.
No political repression since 1983.
No political prisoners since 1983.
No disappeared since 1983.
No military or political aggressions against our neighbors since 1983.
The whole repressive “Top Brass” jailed or on their way to jail.
Total freedom of speech and press since 1983.
An amazing Social and economical rebound since 2001 where Argentina was virtually bankrupt be it morally or economically.
I could go on and on.
And you have the nerve to call us a “Junta in a different frock!”
Just because your wife got mugged in a bus?????
No amount of corrective sweet talk at (11) can erase that.
I profoundly dislike your kind and yearn for your prompt return to your society.
Evidently Argentina is not your society, even if you dishonestly say so in your text.

That would be more correct.
Your Armed Forces where the fundamental factor in the break-up of our Armed Farces.
No doubt about it. Thank you.....
But......
If you are aware of that....
Why do you speak to us as if you where speaking to our old Armed Faeces?
As I have said before your democracy is extremely questionable and you most certainly do not have freedom of the press.

How can someone squat on land they're been in possession of for 177 years and have claimed sovereignty over for 320 years (I'm in a 1690 mood). In the UK a person can gain rights through 'adverse possession' in only 12 years. Is there not some similar law in Argentina?

#12. evidently you fail to read and digest what your eyes see.democratically elected junta in a different frock is rhetoric and a catachresis as opposed to a common metphor or similie. Therefore old boy, no comparison was made. Beyond this however, I do not agree with some of your denials and, since there is insufficient space here, I can only touch upon a few examples:
Jul 11th, 2010 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Telecommunications and media laws were introduced by Videla...yes he's in prison together with other cronies but, how convenient of successive governments to keep this law active? The K's attempted to reform this only very recently however, the reformed laws will prove to be fuurther state manipulation through the appointment of 7 members of a regulatory body, of which 5 are incidentally from the state besides, we all know the relationship between media and the K's. The media we have, is a prolongation of that introduced by Videla.
You have conveniently ommited to recognise that the present government were colaborators of the junta. There is ample information available both at home and overseas. The attitudes and direction of this government has not changed significantly since those days.
Only the pressures applied on successive governments by leading human rights organisations, international goverments & individuals, particularly from Europe (since 1983) brought about necessary changes to the judiciary which, until 2005 was incapable, unwilling to make democratic changes to civil laws. Many laws introduced during the 70's still fail to conform with the highest standards of civil liberty and privacy. Correo argentino is a good eg. There are a multitude of other irregularities which successive governments are loath to deal with.
There is an inherent, disturbing racist, macho attitude within society, with historical roots going back to the persecution of indios, negros, and women.
My impression is that you fit into the later category, and support the likes of D'elia or even Julius Röhm.
Rhetoric a catachresis as opposed to a common metphor or similie my arse...

Thugs and acolytes.
Globetrotter’s intention when planting terms like “GröFaZ” “Rhöm” or “Democratic Juntas” on his opponents are unmistakable...
However, his deep satisfaction when mentioning those things is evident; there he is at home.
Subsequently he Denies, Attacks and Reverses the Victim into the Offender.
He may fool the British readers in here with his “balanced critical tone”
But I have been dealing with his kind for decades and I can smell them from a long distance.
Repeat.
