Disclaimer & comment rulesI think Argentina should put a higher tax on export or scrap it all together since we are loosing the bulk of our heards to export, if the bulk is getting smaller it must mean we are exporting more then we produse.

Too easy, really..
R.I.P. Argentina with that kind of brains...
No, gassy, it's because you are EATING your herds. Because there is no profit to be made in export. Because your president(s) and government are corrupt. Because you are stupid.
Sep 08th, 2010 - 04:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#3 what a brit says about Argentina is irrelevant, in any case we always eated meat in Argentina and why would we export to other nations what we consume ourselves ?? what Argentina needs to do is to expropiate those large cattle ranch reducing their herds and auction them off to hard working national consortiums willing to pay high taxes to exports, we pay 15% to 26% in taxes in Canada why is Argentina being targeted for doing the same thing that other countryes do ?? is it because we are Latin Americans and not white british pirats ??

Sep 08th, 2010 - 05:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What an amusing statement Vargas (you never did say if Vargas was a native American surname). Sometimes economic laws transcend borders and nationalities. And no, it's not some anti-Latin American conspiracy. It's your own mismanagement y punto!
Gas: Why do you post about Argentina when you obviously don't know what is going on there? How in the world can you be a communist living in Canada? They should send you back to South America.
Sep 08th, 2010 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Ks destroyed the cattle industry by price controlling the sale of beef to domestic consumers and drastically reducing the amount allowed for export. Which has lessened consumption and raised the price of beef. Why should anyone bother producing if it is not profitable? Do you go into a business to lose money?
So you want to expropriate farms to give it to people who don't know how to produce? That is exactly what Zimbabwe and Venezuela did and now they are starving.
You are definitely one of the dumbest people I have ever seen posting.
It appears that gassy doesn't have the bottle or honesty to live in his own country.
Sep 08th, 2010 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Instead he sponges off Canada.
you were all deemed irrelavant subjects..and if anone should be sent home are the foreign land owner in Argentina.
Sep 08th, 2010 - 08:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well that would include you. Isn't Vargas a surname foreign to South America? It's a Spanish name, right? That means you are a foreigner in South America, no?
Sep 09th, 2010 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0No, J.A. your only foreign if you are living in South America and have a british ancestry, if you live there and you have a spanish ancestry it's ok.
Sep 09th, 2010 - 08:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Get with the program.
2-3-5; you all are on target, but the one who really seems to hit the bullseye is #6 and wins the prize!!
Sep 09th, 2010 - 10:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only a legal Citizen of Argentina could ask me to go to Spain, fortunatelly for me I am from Argentina and I don't claim to be Spanish, unlike the pirats occupying Islas Malvinas Argentinas who claim to be british and we agree they should go home to their queen, I am a free American who can tell all britards to go home and stop pesting our people, britads comments regarding America are irrelevant.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But “Argentina” is a colony. What language do you normally speak? Is it Argentinian? Now comes the big question. “Free American”? South American? North American? Who does “we” refer to? If you're not in Argentina, you can only speak, possibly, for the fanatic Argentines on this board and people you keep in touch with. You can't possibly speak for 40 million people. That's not democratic.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0America is a great nation from north to south, this is why we travel from Argentina to First Nations and we need no papers or pay no taxes while you sit here and cry to us for your problems, I am free to speak for all Americans because I am the only true American in here the rest of you are all Europeans this is why you should all STFU and kiss my backend.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A-ha! gassy is too scared to answer the questions. The answers would probably reveal him to be an illegal immigrant somewhere. As well as the rabid, psychotic, fanatic animal he clearly is.
Sep 11th, 2010 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Before Kirshner the First waved his hand and cancelled the beef export contracts, Argentina was providing the highest quality beef to countries like Russia and France. Countries that rely on other countries to live up to contractual aggreements can be fooled once. They now source their premium beef from Uruguay, and Brasil.
Sep 13th, 2010 - 03:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the Argentine government, god keep me from idiots with initiative!
Sep 13th, 2010 - 05:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Dare we all hope that Argentina WON'T change its current policies?
Sep 13th, 2010 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0The world knows the best beef is bred in Scotland.
Sep 14th, 2010 - 08:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Damn, I thought Wagyu Kobe came from Japan. Thanks for setting me straight Cadfael... Nothing like some mad cow and a nice bottle of Malbec..
