    All the talk of South American integration is such hooey. These few countries can't even get Mercosur to work the way it is supposed to. What a bunch of jokers, does no one respect the rule of law in Argentina?

    Argentina is strong with the weak and weak with the strong like a big big dumb playground bully.

    “ ... Paraguayan union leaders said the Argentine union leaders had the blessing of Argentine government officials in continuing their blockade with the aim of wearing down the opposition.....”

    Think you are truly disgusting individual, your country is full of butchers, bullies and thieves and I doubt any other country wants to be infected with that Argentinian disease. This is just a way for Argentinian unions to get a foothold into Paraguay. Revolting!

    Here is an example of Argentinian integration, Argentinian vigilantes killing Paraguayans and Bolivians.

    groups with special interests like human rights for instance eh think? They're such a pain for the likes of Argentinians aren't they.

    Lugo can´t fight alone; conservatives are still in power in paraguay.

    Paraguayans workers needs a peronist revolution to make a developing country.

    Kirchners, Lula and Mujica all of them change south cone political trend, Lugo & people failed, big corporations succeded but people must build a second americanist-party chance in post-lugo era.

    Master, How many years does the GDP of Argentina need to grow to match the UK? 50, 100? If I were you I would be crying not laughing.

    A pleasure to see how a Yank with just a “Onliner” can get all those Redcoats (and the odd confederate) to wiggle :-)))

    Anyhow, hope that the ROU is being kind to you and that you find what you are in search of............

    Right Master, stagnant. I recall that Argentina is the defaulter in this scenario. If you are so promising then why are you unable to win over a group of Islands only a few hundred miles off your coast? Why do international financiers hold Argentina with such suspicion? Probably because Argentina cannot be trusted with money!

    Fine enjoy a higher percentage growth. Percentage is largely irrelevant when increasing from such a low base. Total cas terms growth is what pays the bills and with Argentina's inflation rate reducing the spending power of the average guy on the street I know where I would rather be.

    A glass of Merlot and a Jag XF.

    Merry Christmas and peace to all men!

    Peronista disease infecting UK:

    Anarchists from as far away as South America plotted to provoke violence and chaos at the student fees protests that rocked London.

    As fury over the tuition fees rise swept social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, militants from Italy, Germany, Spain and Latvia made plans to travel to Britain.

    Others came from Argentina to carry out planned attacks on the Treasury and Palace of Westminster alongside rampaging students and schoolchildren.
