Disclaimer & comment rulesI don't think Argentina needs to be threatened by thugs, lets not forget that Argentina's economy was doing a lot better without the help of pirats. I think it's about time we cut the umbilical cord of our pesty europid cancerous heritage. I hear China, Pakistan and India's economy are growing faster then many EU members..the only thing I can add to the EU thugs threats of going to WTO is, Thanks! but no thanks, and maybe WTO can expain to us, why would we trade with france or brits anything when they violate other nations self determination, I wonder if france and UK expect Argentina to pay for oil thefted from Malvinas Argentina ?

NEVER FORGET!
1 Pirate-Hunter-------And you know everything about thugs don't you , and yes we Brits will expect you to pay for oil from the Falklands if the islanders decide to sell it to you seeing that they own it. And you have a nerve to lecture us on violating other people self determination when your country is one of the worst for doing that, Oh and by the way if you take a look I have shown you how to spell Pirate, if you are going to insult us do it right and spell the word pirate properly. you are quite right on one thing though WE NEVER FORGET.
Apr 15th, 2011 - 06:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0We never forget that we can never trust your country.
We never forget that you invaded a peaceful Island in 1982.
We never forget that you would do it again at the drop of a hat if you had the capabilities.
We never forget that your country tries to bully every country in South America
we never forget how your country kidnaped and killed many people.
We never forget that you would have done the same to the people of the Falklands.
In short we never forget anything that you people do.

Apr 15th, 2011 - 08:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0That is right, pirat-hunter, we never forget. And do you know what? We don't trust your country. If there is any oil, then it is ours. lt has not been“thefted” from anyone. l used to hope that there was no oil. Now l hope they find a lot, so we can rub your noses in it. Thugs

Apr 15th, 2011 - 12:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You don't have to, sell your goods elsewhere...if you can ;-),
“I wonder if france and UK expect Argentina to pay for oil thefted from Malvinas Argentina ?”
What's France got to do with that...or the UK for that matter, AFAIK there's not going to be a nationalised oil industry in the Falklands so you'd be buying from a company rather than a nation, I expect that given your history and attitude towards payment that you might be offered COD terms anyway...if you're lucky, more likely it'll be payment in advance.
Anything to keep Argentine Meat products out of the EU would be fine with me.
Apr 15th, 2011 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't understand bit about buying Falklands oil. When any oil is refined you wouldn't know where its came from.
Maybe Argentina will go 100% renewable. It has plenty of wind and perhaps it can exploit solar a bit more with the on-going desertification of much of its territory. Happy days.
Argentina has no interest in free trade, it reaps all the advantages Mercosul has brought to it without ever contributing anything. Brazil is a big enough economy to sign a FTA with the EU on its own. It really doesn't need the peripheral countries bogging it down in their failed economic policies quagmire
Apr 15th, 2011 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, I also am beginning to think that Brasil, UR & PA would be better off distancing themselves from Argentina and entering into non-Mercosur trade agreements with the EU along the lines negotiated by Peru and Colombia (as opposed to C.A.N.).
Apr 15th, 2011 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina might find a friend in Venezuela and, perhaps, Cuba. Mexico may also be interested in such a new partnership of nations. VE & ME have enough money to stop AR & CU from starving; they could, at a pinch, actually buy them and run them - until the ferrets start doing what ferrets always do..
Really geoff? There is nothing Argentina can get from a bankrupt country like uk!!
Apr 15th, 2011 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No need of free trade,we have the resources,not uk...

Shocked to learn that Argentina had foot and mouth as recently as 2006.

I will recomend to go for the Basic,and after a couple of years go to the intermediate level!
Again shocked to learn that in the uk died om BSE.
Curiosly the Malvinas reported one case,and none in Argentina,having a much larger herd.
It is notable that there are no cases reported in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Vanuatu where cattle are mainly fed outside on grass pasture

Epidemic in British cattle
The first confirmed animal to fall ill with the disease occurred in 1986 in the United Kingdom, lab tests the following year indicated the presence of BSE; it was only in November 1987 that the British Ministry of Agriculture accepted it had a new disease on its hands.[20] Subsequently, 165 people (up until October 2009) acquired and died of a disease with similar neurological symptoms subsequently called vCJD, or (new) variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.[6]

I ask you,
Apr 17th, 2011 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0is it fair that Argentina should stop the flow of new trade by Brasil, Uruguay and Paraguay with the EU?
20 I'm so pleased.
Apr 17th, 2011 - 03:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think though you lapsed a bit into Spanish though, in your excitement.
You are a funny guy!
Anyway it turns out that Britain isn't objecting to opening up its agricultural markets to Mercosur. Its the French, Irish, Polish. Romanians, Italians, Belgians, Slovenians, Swedish, Portuguese etc. So I guess you, tool and tit have been insulting one of the few EU states that supports importing Argentinian crap. Its a funny old world.
Bet you cant wait to start chomping on a bit of British prime steak. You cant beat a bit of bully. Keep smiling.
regardless of all this bullshit back and forth ..No, I'm better than you crap, the name of Tte Estevez should not be used in vain, he was a fellow officer that gave his life for his country. I do have a problem with this .....(no personal attack intended). Thanks
