Nov 08th, 2010 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what my hateful president Crista would think about this. She is such a liar, she plays the peacemaker, but what she really wants to hear is a different story, a story of hate and vengeance between these people and the Falklanders. She hates it when people forgive and change their mind, or even if they only try to.
If you call Cristina a hateful president chilenito what would you call the Brits after this article today?

Nov 08th, 2010 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not a Chilenito, I'm as Argentine as you are, but I don't go around calling people Pirates! It is your problem if you can't grasp the truth. If you love conflicts it is your problem. If people kill you should not kill. No matter how you call it, KILLING IS WRONG!
Let's say the British invaded our islands, ok, Argentina and England went to war over the islands, we lost, they won, end of conflict and finality of claims, accept the truth, it's over. Let's move on and work so we can create something valuable and good for us and the Falklanders. That land was drenched in blood for ignorance and greed, we should honour that blood by seeking peace, not the opposite.

Mendoza prison, Argentina
In 2004, Amnesty estimated that the prison with an official capacity of 600 was crammed with 1,600 inmates in insanitary conditions.
The inadequate sewage and drainage facilities meant the cells were teeming with rodents and the potentially fatal tropical illness Chagas disease was rife.
In the isolation area, Amnesty found that overcrowded prisoners had no access to showers and were forced to defecate and urinate in plastic bags in front of each other.
The women’s wing was no worse but caused more concern since many of the inmates were mothers and had their children living in misery alongside them.

Trust narcos to screw up what was a good-news thread!
Nov 09th, 2010 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is about trade you sicko, not your feeble brand of politics.
interesting how an article about a business man returning to the islands and getting on very well with the locals suddenly turns into a shit slinging match about supposed Iraqi abuses at the hands of British soldiers in Iraq courtesy of Marcos.
Nov 09th, 2010 - 09:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Are you so inadequate in life Marcos that you have to try and bring allegations about Britain at every thread?
Pathetic.
Are you so inadequate in life Marcos that you have to try and bring the same allegations over and over about Britain at every thread*

Nov 09th, 2010 - 12:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All best wishes, Jack. Show them your meat production knowledge and wool fibre classification, but don't give your husbandry secrets away. I used to be a competent argie on that same field, more than 35 years ago, while working with Corries and Romneys in the province of Buenos Ayres.

Nov 11th, 2010 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder why all these Mercopress blogs are used by people who only want to spit out their disagreement or annoyance with anything but the subject matter of the revised notes, by using expletives, insult and giving names... I thought we were all gentlemen and ladies here, but I'm afraid I was wrong.
Nov 12th, 2010 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah you were wrong madam/sir I don’t know what you are.
Nov 14th, 2010 - 01:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But if you were looking for gentlemen and ladies I guess you got into the wrong place.
In fact I will put a XXX in top close to the logo.
Sorry its the way it is.
