Feb 11th, 2011 - 08:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0that moustache is a joke!
Feb 11th, 2011 - 09:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0no need to worry about
Feb 11th, 2011 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is (least)merely one of the all countries hereof.
There is no doubt about it Red, and it is barely a denial! It is just the typical Argentine tactic, just attack! It doesnt matter if you attack with a lie or if it is rubbish, just attack and make things a lot worse.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe he should invest some of his corruption money in a moustach trimmer?
Feb 11th, 2011 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0hahahah, just a year ago, it became public in the UK that their politicians were using taxpayer money to clean their MOATS and other such nonsense. UK and US have incredible corruption, they have no place to talk.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 02:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mastershit...There is corruption in the US and the UK, there no doubt about that. But to say that it isnt talked about is just wrong. The UK news over the last year has been full of the Expenses Scandal, and a politician was sent to prison this week for his expenses scandal. That is the difference between Britain and Argentina, corruption happens in both countries but it is punished in Britain, in Argentina corruption is not punished as the leaders who can choose to punish are the ones benefitting the most from the corruption. You cant really argue with that...
Feb 11th, 2011 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK has more developed country than Argentina to secretion corruptions.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If denial works for the brits illegal aliens occupying Malvinas Argentina, why not for for Argentine officials ?? why would we act with dubble standards, we accep lies from UK we can't be bias against our own government. “porque los que entre hermanos see pelean los deboran los de afuera” Martin Fierro...
Feb 11th, 2011 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0lol, 1 politician was sent to prison eh? who was it? And what about all the others? scott free? please provide references.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 04:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure most, if not all, got off scott free, and are continuing to live their lives same as before.
“BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said Chaytor could be free by the end of May as prisoners given sentences of less than four years can be considered for early release - subject to electronic tagging and a curfew - if they are not convicted of violent or sexual offences. ”

Wow, so your ONE politician who went to jail will be there just long enough to get processed and find a cell, then he'll be released, rofl, what justice!
There's no curruption, there's no inflation, there're no people dying of malnutrition. Of course not!
Feb 11th, 2011 - 05:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0in Argentina we spend a lot of time destroying good politicians to make the world happy, about we start ignoring the world while we are happy, and let the world solve their problems, What Argentina needs is a fee on foreign exchange, and high taxes to limit the theft of resources, if we want to fix Argentina we got to rid our land of illegal occupation, that will give Argentines many jobs, we have pirats robbing us we need to unite and leave the internal problems for when we are free from occupation again.

Feb 11th, 2011 - 05:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Insult are not a good argument for my comment, but thanks for contributing with such a worthless effort. typical, I didn't expect any better from a europid like you, if I ware you I would file a complain with your maker, and stop hanging on the shadows of Argentine intellectuals.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sure the diplomats could be 'jokes'... why the hell not. Its all coming down to people in their own countries getting fed up with what the Americans - and the British - think of them. Just listen to the reports from Egypt, of people saying to the journalist 'We Egyptians want what is right for us - not what the Americans , or the British think... '
Feb 11th, 2011 - 06:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enough said.

Yep, thats one, and that is still more prosecuted for corruption than Argentina. Also, I's obsession with Lewis Clifton also proves that corruption does occur in the Fallklands/Britain and was subsequently punished for his illegal actions.
#17 I am sure for you it's ok to sleep with the brits because of your homosexual nature, it's clear that you go around looking for videos to play with yourself, that is nothing new many brits do that some of them end uf in jail, I am sure you will end up in a similar situation whereever you are, it's all matter of time for you. now when we talk about corruption why don't we start with the british illegal aliens occupying Malvinas Argentina ?? and then we get the Argenties politicians, or can you tell us all here who is your real enemy ??? Brits or Argentines ?? with that out of the way, now I can tell you that if you don't want our elected leaders you should move back home to UK, we like them !!

Corn is up 92% in a year, wheat is up 80% - with the usual knock-on effect on the cost of bread, meat and dairy products. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization has shown that global food prices have hit a record high, even higher than during the 2007/2008 food crisis. Food inflation now rules all over the world, not only Egypt (where, crucially, more than half of an average income goes for food; food price inflation in Egypt is at an enormous 17% a year).

@ 19 Imbecile, you just keep living in the first world and playing in the snow with your buddies drilling holes in the ice in Canada, and telling us how great things are here in Argentina, specially with people in Salta, Imbecile. People in Salta have no food, no water, now tell me how greats things are Imbecile. Sos un pobre tipo, ignorante, no valés nada Alex o como te llames. divertite, tenés guita, ¿qué drama te podés hacer vos si te la pasás jugando en la nieve? Acá hay gente que no tiene ni agua potable. Cobarde, lacra, espero que pagues por toda tu cobardía y tu negación de la pobreza y sufrimiento de tanta gente.
Feb 11th, 2011 - 07:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To be fair to the Argentine official, there was that cable detailing how Cuba had banned Michael Moore's film 'Sicko', which turned out to be bullshit.

Argentine official calls US diplomats “a joke”
Feb 11th, 2011 - 10:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0where does it mention the Falklands.
should you not be shagging of the yanks rather than the brits again.
or do you really like the comedians, but you hate the British more.
so much in fact, that to you, their is only two countries on the planet,
and you don’t like one of them, [charming] I then wonder if the Americans think you also are a joke . ??????
brits and US are the same people ? if you think they different you risk being stabed in the back by the ones you trust. in Argentina's case we can't trust neither since 1833, but for some reason some of our most stupid politicians where such tradors to allowed for US to get closer to Argentina, and some of us Argentines don't really give $#!T what USA or brits think of us, if you really want to find corrupted people follow this links.

has anyone seen bush lately ?? accoring to many people corruption in Argentina is bad but the people that killed muslims and never found WMD are here telling us how bad our government is, why don't europids go and put bush in jail ??? or are muslims not people worth deffending.

Feb 16th, 2011 - 06:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0I confess that I have been accepting bribes to buy junk food to be given to the poor kids, I also confess to be involve in drug trafficking...
I also agree those charges for torturing and murdering some guys because they owe me money for illegal gambling.
That I made illegal documents and pay some bribes to import illegal immigrants is also true.
But come on chief, accusing me to be British that is too much, I don’t want that my family and friends think that I’m a serious criminal.
haha

Let’s make something constructive would you?

Argentina is a gorgeous country with the hottest women on the planet. But, the government there is laughable at best. That commie Kirchner and her cabinet, are you kidding me? The Argentine government is a joke....good job controlling inflation and getting your economy under control. Go to the immigration office in Santiago, Chile. Look at the number of Argentines standing in line. Ask any one of them why they're trying to move to Chile. They'll say, the government, the economy, etc. Women = hot. Government = joke.
