    Other nations (and before any of the Argies start jeering yes I do mean the US & the UK) made some serious mistakes that led up to the Credit Crunch, The world learned a lesson from that.....except for Argentina, now it's their turn to screw up their economy (such as it is).

    It's so funny that Chileans, Mexicans, Brits and other specimens are praying so hard to see my country falling in disgrace like their own countries. They're just like scavengers, following a wild strong animal in hopes that one day, the animal will finally fall down to the ground, so they can feed upon his body lol

    HAHAHA, there is not one indicator that shows that Argentina is a “strong” country. You can't play with he big boys, Argentina can only threaten and harass it's smaller neighbors. Weak Currency, weak military, weak people, so what is strong? Inflation and Corruption they are pretty strong I guess, maybe that is what you are talking about.

    “wild strong animal”. Two out of three isn't bad I suppose. But you shouldn't have used “strong”.

    Xbollox, Open your eyes FFS! your country is a JOKE and it'll remain a joke as long as people like you keep lying to yourselves and spouting such utter, utter BS, “wild, strong animal”?? just listen to yourself. Brings to mind another joke:

    How do you make a million pounds?

    I reckon you might have done once or twice think. Don't see why you've got an issue with him mind as you're both singing from the same hymm sheet.

    “keeps you all busy” wouldn't go that far, 'entertained' perhaps.

    Hi everyone! I'm an argie, and I want those people in the islands to be happy, and living quiet and peaceful lives. I'm 19 year old boy, and two of my cousins went to that war, so I guess my feelings should be different? I don't know, but this is how I feel. Falklands don't belong to my country, I've always said it, and I will sustain it. This government of my country is really opressive not because it respects the law, but because it's all about lies, and they're completely nuts. Everything President Kirchner and her husband do is only to brain wash people into their way of thinking. They don't really care about the islands, it is all a failing political game they're playing with Chávez commanding them. They're puppets in the hands of that communist nut, Chávez from Venezuela. I lived in England for a whole year studying, and I thought that people would be hostile to me because I'm an argie, but people were sweet and kind to me, I've made friends, so the experience taught me that things are not as I was told. These are my own thoughts on the Falklands Islands. Thank you for letting me have a space to post my comment.

    Can you see the diference now?

    Yeahhh...
    He was “talking so much sense” that I got a little bit distrustfull.....
    That's why I googled him and found about his Chilean origins...
    He is certainly quite “usefull” for those of you that need to reconfirm your prejudices against Argentina...
    Even if he is Chilean ;-)

    “He is certainly quite “usefull” for those of you that need to reconfirm your prejudices against Argentina...”

    Don't need any help with that think, you and the rest of your compadres take pride in stating your support of your countries attempts at sabotaging our tiny country, not to mention your military incursion in 82, prejudiced? when it comes to having guns pointed at me I'm downright bigoted.

    My heart ”bleeds” for that episode where an Argentinean gun was pointed at you…

    Anyhow… that episode has apparently made you so bigoted that you don’t seem to oppose your beloved Islands to be the main training center for British troops that do the same to thousands of other people around the world…………….

    Ahhh…
    I nearly forgot…
    Those British troops don’t only point their guns…… they also pull the trigger defending themselves against little yellow dressed girls and defenseless tied prisoners……..

    And you talk about Brainwash ???

    Perhaps paraphrasing a movie quote wasn't such a good idea, as with most things it went right over your head think. I really must remember to dumb down my comments for you.

    Regarding the British army doing combat training in the Falklands:.....Well why not think, they need to do something to keep busy while they're here, and who's fault is it they're here eh? yours and your fellow RGs thats who.

    Think, “that is why I googled him” you are such a frigging cyber stalker, don't you have anything else to do? Other than me and him, who else? Since you can't attack on legitimate issues you have to dig up personal ones? What a loser.

    NATO stops invading and killing people worldwide.

    You Argies are not so adventurous , prefer to do your killing at home

    First we kill all the subversives; then, their collaborators; later, those who sympathize with them; afterward, those who remain indifferent; and finally, the undecided

    @ #3 xbarilox. no we don't want to see your country falling in disgrace at all. we wish that you would get on with making your country honest & prosperos & having respect for your neighbours. you have problems with all your neighbours, why? you upset Uruguay, you claim land from Chile, you claim the sea-bed,you claim the Falklands & now other British Antarctic territories. have l missed anyone? what about Bolivia? surely they must have a province or a mountain or SOMETHING that you believe is “RIGHTFULLY YOURS”.of course you would not dare to challange Brazil. clean up your own backyard first Argentina
