It's the end of the year, it's really hot, there is no electricity so no a/c , no running water in large parts of the city. It must be maddening to be stuck in such a horrible place with no escape. I think they should go bang some more pots and pans that seems to have worked so well in the past. Not. Worse now than a year ago and next year it will be worse again.

1900 was going well, but the devil, the English and our bad politicians put the tail and damaged the Argentine people.
Jan 04th, 2011 - 04:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0baaa .. not to mourn over spilled milk.
Islander existed for the English by Galtieri in 1982.
Before the islands almost returned twice with Peron and Frondizi.
the English is not interested in their self-determination, if the oil and Antarctica. With love they are still a “Giles. ”
Malvinas are negotiable for the Kingdom.
Never a pearl in the crown

Jan 04th, 2011 - 09:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Awwww, someone pass me the violin. When are you going to start taking responsibility for your own actions? How, prey, have the English 'damaged' the Argentine people? Bad politicians? ever heard the saying 'you get the government you deserve' Ant? and as for 'the devil'...well...what can one say? you make a hash of something and it's not your fault, it was 'the devil'......feeble Ant, just feeble.
Guess the heat and thirst must be getting to you.
WestisBest was fredbdc who mentioned 1900 in Argentina.
Jan 05th, 2011 - 03:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is obsessed with us.
I do not understand your irony, it must be for my bad English.
we have the rulers we deserve if Argentina among the 20 best countries to live (International Living)
it's hot in Argentina, but good beaches and rivers.
I have no thirst, we have plenty of water and very good wines.
The water you drink should be contaminated and expensive.
Good Beaches?! Hahahaha Your beaches SUCK! Always windy, wet sand,, cold brown water. It's the only beach I have ever been to where people have to bring tents to get out of the blowing sand. If they were so nice why do you think the rich people go to PDE? Which in my opinion is not that much better but at least the sand and water are nice.
Jan 05th, 2011 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0gdr, What does that have to do with this string? But since you brought it up:
Jan 05th, 2011 - 09:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Gross national income Argentina # 43 u$ 6576 ( I will round up)
# 5 United States: $33,070
So by your stats you can move to the USA and make 6X more than what you are making in the most foul Argentina.
Wow RICH! RICH AS AN ARGENTINE! I wonder why no one says that any longer.
Bahahahahaa
You say the stupidest things, do you think before you write? Yes I have heard of income inequality, again for the 500th time on many many strings what is your point?
Jan 05th, 2011 - 10:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BTW you can't live well on 6K anywhere in the world no matter how disgusting it is.
I would guess it costs about 1/2 as much to live in BA as it does in DC, so 1/2 of 33k is 16K still a LOT more than 7K loser.
