Apr 02nd, 2011 - 10:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Las Malvinas son Argentina, yes, but this country is so sick we're f*cking full of hate. After seeing what I've seen minutes ago, I'm sure that will never have the islands back. Can someone be as f*cked up in the head as to kill their own children's chances for a good life with their own sh*t? And now I know why the islanders believe that this government is not telling the truth about not being willing to attack the islands. Do you know what I'm talking about, Argentine posters? I'm sure you do. If you don't, think about it and you'll know what I'm saying, and if you really love our country you'll feel like I'm feeling now. I really hope one day we'll be able to kill you all, each one of you Kirchnerists. It will take lives to rebuild this country. Now you must thank Cristina and supporters.
Apr 02nd, 2011 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@#20 Here here Xbarilox. To me Christina is looking more and more like a dictator, her speeches remind me of Hitler. Hell she even has a youth movement named after her like hitler did. The sooner argentina is rid of her and her croonies the better for the true argentine people like yourself. Though the islands will never be argentinas and never were.
Apr 02nd, 2011 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hell now she planning of using a school teachers letter from 1982 to brainwash your children with even more hatred towards the islanders and UK, and educate them in the false claims argentina claim over the islands. The argentine government say they are peaceful yet all the rehtoric comeing from there mouths and economic aggression towards to the islands says otherwise.
Malvinas for ever in my heart.

And that solution is to have a look at a map. Anyone who does that, and who exercises his BRAIN while doing so, will see that Gibraltar is quite clearly a part of Spain, just as surely as the Falkland Islands are a part of Argentina, and that it therefore should be governed by Spain.”

The people living on the Falkland/Malvinas Islands do not want to be part of Argentina. You lost a war in 1982, you lost your claim to the Falkland/Malvinas Islands.
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 06:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0This sounds like the Argentine governments smoke screen to cover up the fact they can't solve Argentina's real problems.
Hopefully Argentina's people are not really this gullible.
If the problems in Argentina get bad enough, will there be another war to take people's minds off the real problems?
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner wants the Ilse Malvinas/ Falkland Islands back from Brittan. Maybe she will give Paraguay back the land Argentina took from Paraguay?

Anybody notice the clashes of logic? “Malvinas are ours for ever”, followed immediately by “we will never yield in our claim”.
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 09:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0So if they are Argentina's forever, then Argentina must therefore currently be exercising sovereignty over them...but wait on a second!...Why then do you need to perpetually claim something if it is currently yours forever????!!!???
But mind you when has the Argentine state ever approached this issue in a rationale logical manner, some sensible ideas and words were briefly said by Carlos Menem, but that was the highlight of what we called rationale logic in Argentine diplomacy :)
@30. Using geographic proximity to establish ownership might be a tad risky. You know, I have always coveted my neighbour's swimming pool and as it is right next door I think I shall go and claim it as mine!
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 10:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Also, would you be happy for Chile to claim ownership of Argentina because it looks close on a map?
Given the very real and immediate problems Argentina's President should be addressing, does it occur to anyone there that this may be successful diversionary tactics by CFK?

Apr 03rd, 2011 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Back to Think's #42
Come to think of it Argentina has never attacked another country, that is a distinction shared almost exclusively amongst “superpowers”. ;-)
Every three months or so this borderline deranged woman brings up the issue again, makes a few irrational remarks and gets what is purely an emotional response from maybe 1/3 of the Argentine population. Roughly the same 1/3 that is gullible and nationalistic enough to be fooled over and over again by those who appease them with empty rhetoric instead of enacting anything resembling a sound policy. Two lessons can be learned from this: A) The Falklands will remain British for the foreseeable future, which is good for their inhabitants because Argentina is increasingly becoming a branch of hell, and B) Voters get the governments they deserve.

Apr 03rd, 2011 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Conquest of the desert.
Populating the desert can hardly be described as a war, it was the natives who attacked the European immigrants. Argentina's defense was not aimed at destroying the native people.
Malvinas war.
The name says it all, our land, not yours. We did in 1982 what we should have done in 1833, a little late, and badly planned.
War of the Triple Alliance
Several theories exist, no doubt you will pick the one that portrays Argentina as the bad guy. And of course the fact that Paraguay invaded both Corrientes (Argentina) and Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) will be conveniently omitted.
War of the confederation.
I'm going to call complete bullshit on this one, sorry. This started first by Chile declaring war on Peru which started with a tariff disagreement. It was also Peru's plan to place a blockade over Buenos Aires with the help of the French navy. (go figure) Peru had it coming…
Asuncion. ?
Again you're referring to the War of the Triple Alliance
“Conquest of the desert.”
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was there land, you landed, killed them and took there land.
“Malvinas war.”
You stated that you have never attacked another country. Nomatter your reasons you still attacked us. I am simply proving the fact that you are chatting shite again.
“War of the Triple Alliance”
Was wrong about this one, you attacked in defence.
“War of the confederation.”
You declared war then attacked them in Peru.
“Asuncion. ?”
Belgrano attacked the city to try and bring it under Argentine rule and lost. He was finally beaten again at tacuari and is the reason for there independance.
You attacked Uruguay in the civil war.
Stating that your nation has never attacked another nation is complete crap, even from you.
changing the subject ..... why is Japan taking so freaking long to seal those Nuclear Plants?? Do they have nukes hiding there? is that why they don't want any assistance? Your thoughts please , and don't tell that “Conquest of the desert” is related to my question .....
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, one of the reasons seems to be that because of history they don't want the Chinese to help. The US fleets aren't in a major position to help as much as they could. While the Chinese fleet could have all there ships in the area helping within days.
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also, nuclear plants aren't easy to fix and the country is a mess. I hope they get it sorted and no more people die from this disaster.
52 ElaineB,
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My view of Argentina is that of someone who sees it from both the inside and the outside. Argentina's resources have been managed, post the Perón period, by a bunch of selfish, corrupt imbeciles. This caused the economy to stagnate and deteriorate rapidly. I believe we are just beginning to wake up from this, the right people are beginning to have the right influence. People like national delegate Mario Cafiero, who does not support the current presidency in all aspects, I dare say almost none. The national debt is a very complex issue, I don't claim to understand it, but it is said that this debt has been payed many times over. Interest on this debt is usually higher than the rate at which the economy grows, making this debt a chronic decease. People like Cavallo and Lavagna, who in 1982/1991 and 2004 respectively transferred debt from privately owned operations to the state represent what is called internally, the 'illegal debt'. I'm not sure how this is being looked into now, I would need to find out.
Continued...
Martin_Fierro, you speak out of sheer ignorance. I'm from Argentina, I also lived there most of my life. Most of my immediate family still lives there, and I don't need to read or watch TV about it. Argentina is a country that never misses a chance to disappoint me. Every time I think it has hit rock bottom, it sinks further. Do you think that the fact that the most capable Argentineans live overseas is a coincidence? All you can accuse me of is oft NOT being an irrational fanatic nationalist like you. By the way, saying “the UK is shit” only confirms your ignorance. The UK gave the world William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, John Maynard Keynes, Alexander Pope, Charles Darwin and Bertrand Russel (to name but a few). Can you match that? I didn't think so. You and your groupies are not only wrong, you're also hopeless.
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0…from #57 Answer to 52 ElaineB
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think CFK has the right intentions, the right attitude. Whether or not she is being truthful, and whether or not she can overcome these chronic deceases the country faces, is yet to be seen. But since Nestor Kirchner took office and even more so since CFK took office there have been more changes for the better than for the worst. I will give you two examples. 1. The national aircraft factory, FMA, had been sold to McDonald Douglas, it simply stopped functioning. It is now back in the hands of the government and there are numerous projects in the works. 2. Tandanor, the national military shipyard in Buenos Aires, which run for a consecutive period of 112 years, was somehow sold to a private firm and driven straight to bankruptcy. Like the FMA, Tandanor is once again an industrial complex of the state and it appears to be doing very well.
I think I've already made my opinion of CFK's attitude towards the sovereignty dispute more than obvious, she represents the sentiments of the Argentine people extremely well. What she needs from us Argentines, is a little faith and a little less cynicism.
@59 My apologies. You have answered my question fully, much appreciated.
Apr 03rd, 2011 - 03:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know a great deal about the debt issue and you should spend some time, if you feel inclined, to look into it as I think you will see where the current financial troubles originate.
There are three sides to every story in a dispute. Two points of view and the truth. Who was most culpable for the financial last crisis, the Argentine government or the IMF and the bond traders that brought a country to its' knees? The truth is all of them. (Personally I think the bond traders are a bunch of lying thieves but I am sure their mothers love them).
I sincerely hope Argentina reaches its' potential but it will need the collective will of the people to do so. Institutional corruption has to become unacceptable at every level for a start. I could say more but I am not here to insult. I try to look objectively at the countries I work in and embrace the differences between them.

58 Dan4,
I didn't say the UK was shit, I said that I don't know because I've never been there, you're the only one that didn't get what I said.
“Every time I think it has hit rock bottom, it sinks further.”
If you are what you say you are, you strike me as one of those Argentines that blame the country for all your misfortunes, regardless of what the state of the country may be. Nothing to do with you, right? It's all the country's fault.
For your information, many… MANY Argentines that left Argentina during the worst periods are returning home, precisely because conditions in those countries are actually… WORST.

You want to blame Argentina for all your misfortunes? Why don't you build a cross instead and nail yourself to it, you're probably a victim no matter what country you live in. Go to hell.
What misfortunes, Martin_Fierro? I'm doing great both personally and professionally. I don't have to deal with insane inflation rates or devaluation, I don't fear they'll put my savings in a “corralito” and I live in a country where the official statistics are reliable and not simply made up. I also get paid well and in a stable currency, in accordance to my qualifications and WHAT I know instead of WHO I know. I go to Argentina roughly once every 2 years, and each time it looks worse than the previous one. It has gotten to the point where people cover potholes with dirt after getting tired of asking their municipalities to do it for months. Nobody told me, I saw it myself. Those who stay in Argentina are a) happy to live amidst mediocrity, b) don't know any better, c) wouldn't be capable of making it anywhere else, or d) have no other choices. Finally, I don't have to tell you to “go to hell” as you did. As far as I'm concerned, you're already there.

Martin_Fierro: A) the right way to write it is “A monument TO exaggeration”, not “OF”. B) Letting your “identity” be defined by a mere geographical accident of birth is what deterministic losers would do. I'm a free man, therefore beyond those pedestrian limitations. My identity is defined by my choices and my abilities, not by a latitude. C) Regarding the “bullet in my head” comment, give me your address and I'll gladly send you a gun and ammo. Of course, there's a 50-50 chance that “Correo Argentino” will “lose” the package (i.e. steal it) on the way. Samuel Johnson was right, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”.

History proves that. When will you morans get it .
As for war again you could not beat our British forces when you had already established key positions on the islands in 1982. What makes you think it will be easier this time round.
Face it the Islands will never be Argentine and the quicker you get used to it the better.
Seems we might also be enjoying a new wealth from the recent black gold find. You could say we have ze oil you don't.
Pitty that your leaders are still brain washing your kids. Still you have to clutch at any straws because without your brain washing chances are most sensible Argentines would let us get on with our lives in our own Country.
Good news is that last time I checked we were still British and your still over there complaining.

Artillero 601 (73). Quite correct, Moyano bought a property (not as large as they say) in Henderson some 5 years ago; Randazzo is the one who has purchased a larger property in Vedia (much better land and more valuable). Doesn't mean they support the farmers, I would say they are stashing away for a rainy day, who ever looks into the origin of funds in this country??? In case you aren't aware, you now have to declare in advance what day and what time you are going to start harvesting so they can send inspectors to make sure you aren't trying to sell your harvest on the black market (imagine these twits sitting on your harvester, and you probably have to serve them maté); nobody told these blithering idiots that climate (and humidity) plays a large role in when you start your harvest.

That means I live in those blue states that subsidize (via federal taxes) those sad, pathetic backwaters you both inhabit (You're welcome, by the way). When I'm in Europe my base is Geneva, although I also tend to go to London and Oxford as often as I can because both are superb. Work for new clients also requires my presence in the Western Cape, so I'm considering buying either an apartment in Cape Town or a house in Franschooek.

She's just spouting the kind of speech that gets “her base” fired up prior to an election, but executing on any of those grandiose promises is a completely different endeavor. Past pre-electoral promises included commercial space shuttles launched from Anillaco, an airport atop a floating island and a bullet train between Buenos Aires and Cordoba. It's in the nature of Argentine leaders to hallucinate out loud like this and in the nature of many Argentine voters to self-delude into believing those empty promises, which in turn proves that they deserve each other. Given Argentina's organizational capabilities, I'd be surprised if they could put together a 3-day camping trip. A complex military operation is out of the question. No need to stress or lose sleep over a nonexistent threat.

Kleinmond and Hermanus provide a great complement, with whale watching and quiet beaches. Equally amazing are Knysna, Plettenburg Bay and Wilderness, where I spent a week in January.

Apr 05th, 2011 - 09:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Typically (if there is such a thing) a younger person becomes unemployed and develops a group of unemployed friends, none of them stupid or uneducated, but they develop a vision of the world that is conditioned by their (group) outlook.
The books, articles, links, clips etc - largely involving conspiracy theories - are passed around within the group, further reinforcing the world-view.
Their bedroom/hostel-room walls are covered with anti-establishment posters and, if there is an external 'enemy', the process of group-demonization transfers an illogical and/or excessive hate to the 'enemy'.
The conditioning is akin to that in '1984', but it is largely anti-establishment.
Thus, whenever the 'enemy's' spokesperson makes an assertion, it must be countered - however warped the logic. It is a type of conditioned reflex (a bit like the need to RESPOND to every insult on these blogs ;-)
The 'hate' condition can occur naturally, though, in recent years, I have observed it most frequently in individuals between 16-28 who have developed a pot-habit using skunk [ THC has jumped from 6% to 30% and the protective antagonist, CBD, is virtually absent].
There is good research evidence that the induced paranoid tendencies and/or psychotic episode triggers this class of behaviours.
This is not just me speculating; my 'acquired daughter' (these things happen ;-) is a Clinical Psychologist, and it is a recurrent family conversation because of her profession.

Apr 06th, 2011 - 03:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Speaking in wider terms, do you think another contributing factor to this anti-establishment rage is the lack of social mobility and opportunity in some societies?
Hi Elaine @ 146,
Apr 06th, 2011 - 08:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0- probably.
There is a high correlation in the UK between the type of secondary school you attended and the probability of employment/unemployment. but social mobility occurs when someone crosses from one stratum to a different one - and the biggest crossing is between full-time permanent employment and long-term unemployment. This is now more endemic in the UK than ever since the early 1990s.
But your question implies Upward mobility; glass ceilings, wrong school, wrong type of university - you know the 'privilage', the 'silver spoon'.
Yes, people who keep bashing their head against 'the barrier' get disaffected and more frequently fall into the behaviour-group mentioned.
Does it happen here in Bahia? - to a MUCH lesser extent.
Social mobility is not constrained by ethnicity or racial mix, but powerfully by Education. True, black genes predominate in the poor, but there is no lack of aspiration and there is no visible frustrated rage against the machine.
Different cultures, different systems, different expectations.
But the Balsa Familia in Brasil IS developing a dependency culture where the entitlement ethos is becoming fixed in the mentality.
Perhaps all cultures developing towards first world urban living go through it - or more likely, the Rage is an inherent feature of imbalances in (first world) urban living where you can see the riches but cannot reach them.
You see - I am no expert, but the virtue of blogs is that we can all express opinions and float ideas.
Argentina has no claim to the Falkland Islands or any other South Atlantic or Antarctic territory; I say this because Argentina has never made a claim for any territorial or sovereignty dispute at the proper United Nations organ, i.e. the International Court of Justice.

150 Marcos Alejandro. Yes I am aware of Diego Garcia and have been since it was taken over as a US Air Base, and I agree with Lord Avery. This situation is not comparable to the Falklands; what was removed from Diego Garcia was an indigenous population; what was sent off the Falklands arrived there on 6th Oct 1832, and on 3rd Jan 1833 Pinedo was ordered to remove the Argentine garrison of 26 men with their families which he proceeded to do on the 5th Jan. That was not an indigenous population that was sent off; they were 26 families which had been there only three months.

My mantra is that education is the answer. A bit simplistic but an undereducated work force will always impede the growth of a country.
I have interviewed disaffected people who rage against the establishment and, in some cases, I have had sympathy. They were born into a class-ridden society that would never allow them to move out of poverty. I would be pretty pi$$ed off too. Quite a few were clearly using drugs too but I am not sure which came first; The knowledge that no matter what they did in life they would die poor and turned to drugs or the other way around.

Apr 07th, 2011 - 09:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0On day a new philosopher very proud of his new social status achievement while walking around Athens found this tiny guy bad dressed sitting in the floor looking very poor together with his dog eating beans.
The new philosopher lectured the poor man about how wrong was his attitude toward life and his luck of aspirations. He also remarked that if he would be willing to do like him he could progress and he will be enjoying the favours of the King and he could have everything he wants like he has done. So he wouldn’t have to eat beans in the floor anymore.
The poor man without much surprise and slowly put his head up while looking him and said...
Too bad for your that you don’t like beans else you wouldn’t have to work for the king I feel very sorry for you.
Yes education matters as you have said unfortunately the young philosopher lack of such skill.

There are other motivations.
Some university professors chose their own degree courses to teach, chose their own research areas and travelled the world researching and giving papers at conferences.
Such people live a life of very different motivations and rewards.
And when retirement comes, they may not be the richest in terms of money, but, by God, they are rich in so many other ways.
And if they chose a beach - so what? Having seen most of the world - good, bad and indifferent - the choice of (metaphorical) beach is a way of chosing a closing chapter to the book of life.
For myself, powerfully influenced by Hemmingway's remeniscences of his old man 'fighting his last fight with the big fish' real and allegorical, the greatest riches come from the final distillation of memories that are the pictures in your mind as you approach your last fight.

In my story of the young philosopher, the poor man eating beans was “Diogenes of Sinope” or also called “Diogenes the Cynic” he was a master philosopher.
Diogenes was a fantastic character in ancient Greece he came from a wealthy and prominent family that for political reasons the king condemned them to live in exile and poverty.
He promoted the ideas of how should be a real free pure man, and he was against any material possession above basic needs.

What I try to say is that we “The Westerners” always try to classify people and cultures according with our indoctrinated standards. And if we are wrong?
Education is a relative thing depends on the environment How much useful would be a MBA in the middle of the Jungle or in a beach? And a Chaman Master in London?
When you ask people working hard for “social progress” about what are their aspirations the 80% answer to become rich to travel and to be under the sun in a beach, eat exotic meals, fun, sex, etc.
The Brazilians are so smarts that they are having all these things for free or by doing little.
So they are better educated than anyone to teach us on how to archive our beach dreams in case these are our aspirations.
We lack of fun Elaine nothing that we cannot get for few Quids and a couple of beers.

Apr 08th, 2011 - 12:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you live in a society where the path to mobility is through education then it should be available to all, equally. What a person choses to do with it is another matter entirely.
Sadly, of all the developed countries, social mobility is declining in the UK and is stagnant in the US. This is in no small measure due to disparity in the education available dependent on social class. This is obviously from a macro perspective, individuals can and do break through financial stratum.
“When you ask people working hard for “social progress” about what are their aspirations the 80% answer to become rich to travel and to be under the sun in a beach, eat exotic meals, fun, sex, etc.”
In a recent survey of disadvantage school children in the UK, they were asked about their aspirations. An alarming number wanted to be like Katie Price* aka Jordan, the former topless model who acquired a fortune in the region of £42m by displaying her comely udders to anyone willing to pay. In other words she expoited the expoiters. I admire her for her determined success but is it a realistic aspiration for the masses? What happened to wanting to be a teacher or firefighter?
It is true that the best things in life are free but a little filthy lucre certainly eases the way.
* I think Katie Price is knocking around Buenos Aires at the moment.
Elaine, you ask 'I admire her (Jordan) for her determined success but is it a realistic aspiration for the masses?”

I personally can't stand the woman. It's nothing personal per se, she just embodies the banal cultural mediocrity that is so rampant at the moment., where the people with the least to say are given the most time to say it, 'celebrities' are made from reality t.v.

In Argentina education is available for all and free including university.
We have the higher rates in quantity of Doctors in medicine, Psychologist, etc in the world over 100.000.
And we are full of “Katie Price” we can export them and cheap.
What do you understand by mobility?
I know social mobility but what that means for you?
Because a lot of people believe that is money and shopping. Especially Yanks and they have exported this model to the world.
“What happened to wanting to be a teacher or firefighter”
Happen that the crappy media controlled by big groups had made a good job to portray Katie’s success as the easy way to get the “American Dream” buy, buy and if you can pay.
So the teacher and the fire fighter become a looser.
You have also say that you admire her, so can you imagine what’s the influence of the crappy media over a 15 years old girl?
The buy, buy model works having people unsatisfied old the time.
Would you like to be successful and have all these cute women you need a BMW! Call us 0800-spend what you don’ have. And close to the clip appears other ad saying...
Short of cash? Wanna buy you BMW don’t worry Bank Ruin you Life ltd. have the right loan for you.
Then even my mum will have to show her bubbies to pay back the draconian loan.
All is a big business and Katie Price for a good price found something to sale but like in economy to much offer means less $$$ then they will have to invent another new thing.
May be “be a teacher of Fire fighter man” and the ad saying Fire and teach Ltd. talk free 0800-pay first and later will see.
Life is like this, “models” change through generations. Look the Architects for example in ancient Egypt they were slaves today you have to become slave to pay them.

Apr 10th, 2011 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0What is a “Pirat”? Or is it yet another spelling mistake of yours while trying to type “Pirate”? I can't say I'm surprised, as it matches your overall writing and reasoning abilities. Let's see:
“#58 you are not an Argentine stop the BS, by the way you talk you are either a british illegal alien in Malvinas Argentina wich should make you a proud pirat or Chilean, who are you trying to fool ??”
I'm not trying to fool anybody. I was born and raised in Cordoba, where most of my nuclear family still lives. The way I talk makes me a rational and educated human being, but it doesn't indicate my nationality.
“you are missing a unique gene in your DNA, that wich is esential to all Argentine, the gene resposible for praid,”
First, I believe you meant to type “pride”. Second, where was that “pride” in June of 1982? Surely, if Argentine pride is DNA-embedded they would have preferred death to surrender, right? Your assertion only proves your ignorance regarding genetics (pride is a cultural concept, not an inborn trait) and that you suffer the delusions of grandeur that most Argies use to mask their crippling inferiority complex. Sorry about that. Seek professional help.
[...] and who are all those clowns you mentioned, do you know who Che Guevara was ??“
So, John Locke is a ”clown“ but a guy who decides that 2 people can ride a motorcycle across a continent with no spare parts is a genius? I have to thank you for being so amusing, even though you're not doing it on purpose.
[...] about San Martin o Sarmiento [...]
San Martin was aligned with England. Why else would he leave a promising career in the Spanish Army to go fight against that very army? Sarmiento was a known anglophile as well, as his books clearly indicate. Both were great and both would be on my side in this debate.
”WE NEVER FORGET.”
You can only forget something that you knew. Since your post indicates you know nothing, there is nothing for you to forget. QED.
