    ”No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple-A country.“

    Show's how the country is ruled by a tool that continues to have is head stuck in the sand and ignore the reality. Bond vigilantes know the US is a banana republic and buy GOLD.

    Barry Obama , the Affirmative Action President, has learned well from the Peronists. You see it is not just “Perfect Latin American Idiots” that can destroy an economy. Arrogant gringos can too.

    A moist and spongy chocolate cake.

    @ 6 Europeans can do that too, actually all beings can, and that includes ants and tea plants. And for your information, the continent is America, the name of the country is United States of North America. You are a perfect idiot too, you see now? Latin America is a false name, because Latins were an ancient Italic people of the Latium region in central Italy, (Latium Vetus - Old Latium), in the first millennium BC and they spoke Latin.

    Xbar: A moist and spongy chocolate cake.
    Fido: Those are nice words to describe “ Wesley is covered with Shit”.

    xbar: the continent is America,
    Fido: Correct
    xbar: the name of the country is United States of North America.
    Fido: Incorrect, the name of the country is United States of America.
    the word of makes the difference and shows in which Continent the United States is located.

    Xbox: Latins were an ancient Italic people of the Latium region in central Italy, (Latium Vetus - Old Latium), in the first millennium BC and they spoke Latin.
    Fido: Correct, but don't hold your breath that a chump called wesley to understand that. Education in the UK is the worst in Europe and in the US it's a joke. They know that, but will never admit, because it hurts their ego.

    Xbar: wesley mouch learn something first if you want to teach something.
    Fido: He can't, goes back to the point what I typed about their educational system.

    Is Obama an affirmative action pesident just because he's Black? Well, for all of his mediocrity as an administrator he's still a smart and educated individual, more than one could say of his predecessor. He isn't an Affirmative Action anything. Well, as for who's to blame for the state of the US economy, that's not Obama. Capitalism has always had such crises. But if we're going to lay the blame on someone, blame the Central Bank for creating the housing bubble by maintaining low interest rates; blame US corporations who opened subsidiaries in poor countries, leaving the US economy overly dependent on financial speculation; and blame the Republican Congress which jeopardized the US economy by toying the the idea of defaulting, just so it could to score political points against the Democrats.

    you don't need to be a Brazilian to understand that the real problem of the crisis is the Federal Reserve, what is a private central bank.

    it's funny, Falkers think that anyone in the world who is not brittish is from Argentina!

    Well I sometimes post nice things about UK and criticize Argentina and they STILL think that we are all from Argentina!
    There are many chileans, uruguayans, paragauyans, peruvians and so... who work in Argentina and the other way around so that's why we are in touch with our neighbours , sometimes we argue, sometimes we cooperate, we discuss, we play Football championships.. well the last one was Copa America!

    There are many countries in Latin America, not only Argentina.
