Apr 28th, 2012 - 07:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's 'plans for farewell intercourse law so widows can have sex with DEAD husbands' branded a 'complete nonsense'
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 16:28 GMT, 27 April 2012
Alleged proposals to allow Argentine widows to legally have sex with their dead wives for up to six months after their death have been branded a 'complete nonsense'.
The controversial new 'farewell intercourse' law was claimed, in Argentine media, to be part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Peronist-dominated parliament.
Controversial: The 'farewell intercourse' law is 'a complete nonsense', according to sources
But sources inside the Argentinian Embassy in London have said the claims were 'completely false', and 'could never imagine it happening'.
The source said the proposal, if it even existed, had not reached the congress- although it was also admitted it could be the work of an extremist politician.
Although not officially rebutted, the claims that someone inside Argentina could introduce such a law provoked widespread skepticism.
It's fun to see all those Argentinians working hard at yet another La Campora rent-a-rally. Seemingly she's still trying to be Evita, deified by the followers of her rotund son.

No one there seemed all that bothered. It was also the time of the census so everyone in Argentina had the day off (two days for teachers) and we had the whole town to ourselves for the morning. By lunchtime people emerged with their families to have picnics and general celebrations; there was no sign of mourning in that town.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is reasonable to wear mourning clothes for six month, one year at a push, but after that it is a worrying sign of mental instability. But we all know CFKC is mentally unstable.
I am sure she mourns him (when her man is not distracting her) and will continue to do so, they were together a long time, but there comes a time when it is unseemly to keep harping on about it in public. The woman has no style or class.

Joke=train rumbling along in the USSR,
Four people in a compartment.
1) NKVD Officer in uniform,
2)Old peasant
3)Old woman(his wife)
4)Teenage girl.
Nobody speaking because of the NKVD Captain,
Train enters a dark tunnel, no lights in compartment.
Everybody hears the sound of a long passionate kiss, then sound of a slapped face. Nobody moves.
Train comes out of the tunnel into daylight,
NKVD Captain is seen rubbing his red cheek.
Old woman thinks “what a brave little girl, a Captain in the NKVD kisses her & she slaps his face hard.”
Young girl thinks “why did the Captain kiss the old woman when he could have kissed me?”
The Captain thinks “l don't know who kissed who, but if l find out who belted me, its Siberia for sure!”
The old peasant thinks “lvan lvanovitch, you must be the smartest man in Russia. you kiss the back of your hand then smack a Captain in the face!” ta da!

1) A person earning $50,000 per year has a $200,000 mortgage but does not make repayments, they have bad credit.
2) A person earning £100,000 per year but with a $1,000,000 mortgage and repays it on time every month, they have excellent credit, even though the debt is larger.
1) Would probably not get another mortgage or would have to pay very high rates of interest. 2) Would be able to borrow again at favourable rates.

And I challenged it because quite obviously it was incorrect.
As for UK debt, I don't think you really understand the context. Do you know how the debt is structured and when it has to be repaid? If so please provide me with a breakdown.
As for not you not buying it, well uninformed opinions of a single person really don't matter do they? As for lying, well if I am lying then so is every other respected financial body in the world that supports the UK position.
What matters is the world markets, the ratings agencies and international bodies (IMF, WTO, EU, USA) do, i.e. the people who matter. And its for the same reason international companies and organisations still consider the UK a safe heaven, buy our currency, store assets in the UK and invest heavily in UK economies.
As for Argentina's ratings, do you think your default and refusing to repay your debts has just a little to do with your rating?
I'm guessing whatever your job is, it has zero to do with economics....

Yes, I know how your debt works. You spend way over your budget and to cover the difference you sell “I O U” papers (called gilts). These IOU's comes with interests, hence you owe more and more for every minute that passes. What you say that you are good payers is a lot of crap, as you generate more debt in interests anually than Argentina owes in total.

How much do you think Argentina owes in total then? I'm interested in this answer as I know the rough number.
As for comparing UK debt to Argentine debt;
UK GDP; 2,776,324
Argentine GDP; 447,644
And given the UK has less than 20 million more people you can see how formidable the UK's economy is vs Argentina's.
We are a stable economy with the highest credit rating in the world. Argentina on the other hand is a unstable economy with junk grade credit, inflation over 30% and still has international creditors waiting to be paid from over 10 years ago. The IMF closed its offices in Argentina and has been demanding for several years Argentina provides truthful figures and stops lying.
And to top it all in the midst of its latest (of many) financial melt-downs has stolen the largest company in Argentina.

Apr 28th, 2012 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let me give your “economy” the same treatment I gave to the yanqui's yesterday:
As we all should be able to agree on, a country's wealth is made up of what the country owns, minus what they owe. Like any economy, this is all natural (I'm not richer because I borrow 1M from my neighbour, I only appear to be)
So, with this in mind, lets do the maths:
Population
UK : 63M
Arg: 42M
GDA per capita
UK: 35.900 USD
Arg: 17.400 USD
Public debt
UK: 9.8 Trillions (hehe)
Arg: 136 Billions
Debt per capita
UK: 155.556 USD
Arg: 3.238 USD
Now, lets take what we own and subtract what we owe
UK: 35.900 - 155.556 = -119.656 USD per capita
Arg: 17.400 - 3.238 = 14.162 USD per capita
See? The only reason (you too) uphold such standards of living is (lets say it in choir) YOU DON'T PAY YOUR DEBTS!!!
:)
I'm finding you really simple, when he say's 'lets do the math' he actually means lets do a childish, fundamentally flawed calculation!
Apr 28th, 2012 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And for those that can't seem how flawed his argument is;
UK GDP; 2,776,324
Argentine GDP; 447,644
Now what he completely fails to understand even though he has been told several times is, UK GDP supports the countries rolling debt which has maturities in excess of 50 years and unlike Argentina isn't crushing our economy forcing us into protectionist policies, lies and theft.
And lets clear one thing up the UK has paid every debt it owns, Argentina has not, it defaulted and refused to pay back debt which is still outstanding and what is worse is the 136 billion figure he quote excludes the unpaid debt.
How about you stop lying now eh?
And in support of my position I'm quoting all of the world bodies and ratings agencies, what evidence do you have for your position?

Apr 28th, 2012 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But just for you;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_credit_rating
When it comes to repaying debt, I think you misunderstand the concept. The debt is paid at different maturity points. The UK does this every time without failure. The reason it can lend as much as it wishes to is because of the fact it repays its debts and this is one of the many reasons the UK still holds the much sought after AAA credit rating.
So you are either lying, stupid or both.
Which is the absolutely opposite of Argentina that hasn't and still refuses to pay outstanding debt from over 10 years ago, hence the junk grade credit rating.
As for your math, well at best its crude and misleading, at worst its childlike.
Why don't you show us how different debt needs to be repaid over the next 3-5 years based on maturity and interest rates of the remains outstanding debt, since you are so keen to educate us all?
@56 You are right about the headlines, although I think it's great SA is taking their natural resources back. And if Repsol, Exxon and the other multinationals have to pay the price, I'm ok with that too.

The government will have to go back to seeking financing in the markets in 2012, as it won't make it with using reserves to pay debt maturities.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 03:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“There are little reserves left for debt payment,” is the title of the report, whose conclusion is forceful: next year the maturities will go up to US$18.5 billion, for which it will make no sense to avoid access to the voluntary financing market. Of course that will depend on the interest that Argentina will have to pay to be able to place a bond in dollars.
The estimate of the payments includes interest, amortization of capital and a new payment on the GDP coupon (which in this last case will be around US$3 billion if growth is greater than 6% this year). The amount will greatly surpass the US$6.5 billion used for debt payments in 2009 and some US$9.7 billion used this year.
A report from the consulting firm Econviews, which is led by Miguel Kiguel, estimated that this year there will be a net drop in reserves, due to the purchases of currency by the BCRA not being so heavy due to the flight of capital and that maturity payment is high. As such, the drop in reserves this year will come to US$2.3 billion and the stock will end up being below US$50 billion. The same estimate is made by BofA: “We estimate that the level of reserves will end 2011 at between US$48 billion and US$49 billion. The drop will probably happen in the second half of the year.”
BoFA-Merrill Lynch report puts forth a series of alternative scenarios for the weight of the debt to not provoke greater upheaval in the economy:
Greater depreciation of the peso: the Central Bank will have to raise the exchange rate more quickly to reduce the debt burden.
Debt emission will have to increase: the government will have no other choice but to return to the markets in 2012, as intra-sector public financing will be insufficient to cover the needs in funds related to debt maturities.

@Xect
For being a stockbroker you know very little about economy mate.
“The UK has never defaulted and then refused to repay the debt unlike Argentina”
Ah! this is reaaaaaly good “the UK never defaulted”. Ha ha ha
UK defaulted more than 3 times one of the first was with the Italian bankers. And in 1930, 1932, etc.
“refused to repay the debt” This is even good.
Ask the argies that they had to wave 1 billion pound to UK in debt because poor Britain cannot afforded to repay after WWII.
Now debt has to parts principal (the money lenders really lend to you) and the interest. UK is hardly paying interest with more borrowing. Refinancing its huge debt that at current moment is 2t (domestic) and 10 t (external) total 12 trillions US dollars. Just to have an idea US debt is close to 15t.
As if this is not enough UK has a gap of more than 150bn in trade deficit (financed with more debt)
So in the near future the cost of serving interest of this tremendous debt will be so huge that will trigger a debt crisis like in Iceland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, etc.
Now even more bad news, EU crisis will sunk UK’s economy even more as exports will drop drastically to EU zone.
Now do you understand your serious situation?

“Can you post sources to these defaults? They certainly are not recognised by international bodies.”
And? You defaulted, what you are saying is like a thief is not a criminal because has not police criminal records.
The fact that BoE doesn’t recognise any default doesn’t mean that they have not existed.
1- One of fist default of Britain was with the bankers or northern Italy. King Edward III refused to pay his debt and crashed the Italians banks.

Sure you can find a copy in a library in UK and for free. I Camoron didn’t introduce any cut yet.
2- Defaulted on gilt known as “War Loan” issued in 1917.
3- 1932 in during Great Depression, Britain (and France) defaulted on First World War debt to the United States. Knows as “excusable default” ????
4- After WWII UK failed to pay debt to Argentina and was waived.

Reuters Moscow: Saturday April 28, 2012
Apr 28th, 2012 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In an earth shattering announcement, the Venezuelan government has leaked news today about a new defense agreement involving Russia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Argentina.
As a part of his “Bolivarian Revolution”, Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez has been closely involved in negotiations to modernize not only his country, but also the armed forces of both Argentina and Bolivia with a remarkable revolutionary concept that has left his admirers in a elevated state of approval.
Assisting Presidents Chávez and Morales is the special defense minister, Maximo Kirchner who is assisting in one of the most complex, costly and sophisticated arms for petroleum trade barter agreements in history.
To summarize the deal is as follows: Venezuela will acquire 92 T-72 Main battle tanks from the Russian Federation. The 84 French AMX-30 Main battle tanks and a few assorted other models will be transferred to Argentina. In turn, the antiquated 54 austrian tanks now used by Bolivia will be transferred to Venezuela for target practice. The 236 domestically designed and manufactured “Tanque Argentino Mediano” will be sent to arm the Bolivian forces.
Payment of the transfers will be extraordinary as Venezuela’s purchase will be a part of the Argentine promised repayment of the near 100 billion loan bailout agreement between the two nations, that will be accomplished with barter grain and refined petroleum shipments to St. Petersburg over the coming harvests. Bolivia will repay Argentina with natural gas shipments in exchange for the upgrade in armament. As the special defense minister, Kirchner was quoted: “we all get something from the deal, some more than others…”
In other related news, the government of Paraguay is planning to take this alarming news to the UN Security Counsel as they are worried about the escalation of a military build up in the region. There were no other comments.
@123 Got to admit you make some sense, and it is a sad thing that everybody generalises on threads like this, as we are all different even within our own borders.

Your version of economics is on par with your version of Falkland's history i.e. a bunch of half truths and lies.

The banking crisis was due to a lack of oversight and allowing capitalism to drive politics.

Also, I'm just guessing but the reason why SA countries debts are so low is because they don't own their homes, but just rent them. Like Brazil, where a lot of the people in the Rio favelas pay rent. That may be why, but I could be wrong. Would love your opinion on this.

Apr 28th, 2012 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course you have a very valid point,
Please remember, when people say, Argentina, they mean the argentine government as in CFK .
The innocents are just that innocents, , we cannot be blamed for what our governments have done in the past, but still carry the consequences of their legacy.
Today, you will find, that all the British islanders wish to do, is to be left alone, to get on with there lives in peace, the British government would like nothing more that to bring the troops home, to live in peace, but sadly CFK will not allow this to happen, in this day and age. No country should be invading or claiming another people territory.
CFK changed your constitution to add the Falklands to it, this in its self was totally wrong. And should be removed,,
Argentina has lots of problems, and some feel that she should be concentrating on her own country, rather than others.
And she keeps on pushing and pushing, but it will not be her that suffers, it will be the innocent, again,
Argentina can prosper again in her own right; others it seems are overtaking you,
It just seems that she is pulling you down,
We could well be wrong, but all we are interested in, is that CFK just leaves the islanders alone, and renounce all claims, and we can all get on with our lives,
Which must surly be more important than jingoism.
Just an opinion.

@161 -Guzz, we blame the government of Argentina for several things, not just the past governments but the present one too. Here is a list of things we blame the Argentine governments (past and present) of:
Apr 28th, 2012 - 11:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 01. The illegal invasion in 1982 and the continued aggressive behaviour towards the peaceful people of the Falkland Islands who only want to get on with their lives.
2. The constant lying about history to try and make their claim to sovereignty look valid.
3. Their deliberate brainwashing of the Argentine people, who as children have it drilled into them that the British stole the Malvinas blah, blah, blah, when the true facts are that the Islanders can trace the ancestors back on the Islands to a date before Argentina existed!
4. Their deliberate provocation of changing the Argentine constitution to include the 'recovery' of the islands, when they have no legal, moral or historic claim to them.
5. Their constant refusal to acknowledge that the people of the Falklands have as much right to determine their own future as the people of Argeninta or anywhere else do.
6. Their constant refusal to take arbitration on the subject to the International Court of Justice, and say it's judgements are not legally binding in Argentina.
7. Their constant whining to the UN and anyone else that will listen regarding the Islands.
8. Their constant demands of 'negotiations' on sovereignty, when they are the one who refuse to negotiate, they just demand.
9. Their complete lack of honour, regarding any treaties, especially the one signed by the Argentine government in 1850 which recognised British sovereignty of the Islands.
I could go on, but their aren't enough characters on here to let me.
So Guzz is it fair that the people of the Falklands have to live their lives in the constant worry that the present, or some future Argentine government, might seek to invade them and destroy their culture, way of life or maybe even take their lives completely? Well is it FAIR on them?
@161 Guzz I could call you very stupid for thinking that Argentina has a better claim to the FALKLANDS than the UK does. Fact is, we have them, will always have them and there is nothing or no-one that can do anything to change that apart from the people living there. And no, I'm in my 30s, have a doctorate in social sciences and have done reasonably well with my life.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 11:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@162 We can agree on that the islanders are the rightful inhabitant, after all they have been there for... ages. As for the claims, well, when we see english newspapers claiming the island basins holds oil reserves not seen since the 70's, we find that self-governance hard to believe... Nobody really cares about the islands, you want some truths? It's all about the oil. Problem is, like I mentioned before, that the oil knows naught about borders, hence if you want to be fair, they should drill in unity and divide the wealth accordingly. However, world is not a perfect place.
Apr 28th, 2012 - 11:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The other matter, the one about YPF, shares the same history. YPF was a national company that was left in heavy debts by the military. A debt of 6 billions was actually their legacy, thats the amount of cash they put in their pockets, from that company alone. From 83-92, YPF generated losses of 200M/year in interest only. Bear in mind that the rest of the country was aswell on its knees, sacked and plundered, common folk looking for their disappeared relatives. Only was to get the country on its feet was to privatize in order to get fresh money from investors. This was done to YPF 1993. 5 years after, in 1998, Repsol arrives and buys YPF for money equivalent to 9 months of production. Sellouts like this happened all over America, we not only lost our money, but we were forced to sell our natural resources just to get back on our feet. Now, Repsol has earned craploads of money on the deal, and we beg your pardon, but we do NEED our natural resources. We dont feel we have to continue to pay for injustices commited, and quite few thinks that the multinationals that bought up our natural resources for spotprices, are more guilty than they appear to be...
I dont expect you to understand, but as I tried to tell you, there are many sides to this coin...

Apr 29th, 2012 - 12:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0After 46 years, the Argentine Army is still haunted by the controversy of a land dispute in Posadas – the tussle over the land with the Ossa family, in the north east border of the country with Paraguay, which started in 1966.
Some members from the family have appealed with President Cristina Fernandez to prevail on the authorities of the army to obey a court judgment that ordered it to release a parcel of land it illegally occupies in Posadas back to Paraguay where it belongs.
After many years of ignoring the judgment given by an Argentine court, members of the Ossa family staged a peaceful protest in Buenos Aires calling on all relevant stakeholders to plead with the Argentine Army to release the land to them.
In a letter of August, 2005, and signed by a Brig. General, Alonso Atafagatti, on behalf of the army staff, agreed to release some portions of the land back to the jurisdiction of Paraguay.
The Army, however, did not keep its promise because, to the amazement of the family, the land was not released to it.
Led by the affected family, a crowd of Paraguayans marched through major streets in Buenos Aires begging all well-meaning Argentineans to intervene on their behalf.
But, a new twist to the issue started when the family began fencing off the land measuring 14.264 hectares. Some soldiers from stormed the place and drove the owners of the land away.
Gen. Salazar, said through the Army Public Relations that the accusation by the family was misleading and malicious.
He said in a release signed by the Acting Assistant Director, Army, Public Relations, that the land is owned by the Argentinean army and is used for training and reserved for future use by the army.
“It is unrealistic for Argentina to recommend release of such land as it compromises security of officers, men and their families and military hardware located at the Paraguayan border, the army said.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 28 April 2012
Alleged proposals to allow Argentine widows to legally have sex with their dead husbands for up to six months after their death have been branded a 'complete nonsense'.
The controversial new 'farewell intercourse' law was claimed, in Argentine media, to be part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Peronist-dominated parliament.
Controversial: The 'farewell intercourse' law is 'a complete nonsense', and was confirmed after re-interviewing sources
Sources inside the Argentinian Embassy in London have said the claims were 'completely false', and 'could never imagine it happening'.
The source said the proposal, if it even existed, had not reached the congress- although it was also admitted it could be the work of an extremist politician. Although not officially rebutted, the claims that someone inside Argentina could introduce such a law provoked widespread skepticism.

In the case cited for UK in one UK didn’t pay at all what made collapse the Italian banks. In the second case UK performed a cut in interest rates. And in the other cannot meet payment due. All are defults.
Why as a lender I will give you new terms after all? If you have to reschedule contract terms you technically are in default. Again, default means to not be able to meet contract terms.

The Casa Rosada Government House in Buenos Aires when first contacted refused to comment and Maximo Kirchner was unavailable to be interviewed.

i have no idea about -- Chicureo- didnt read his(her) comments yet but i believe there should be exigency to have equalizer names from all other countries in the world ( all other latin countries..from MidEast,from Africa,fromEurope,fromAsia...) i know who write from Mercopress edition team no problem for me ,i interpret it just the intentness to enlarge the swallow articles..very normal..!
i always write daily comments for some Asia--Africa--Europe--

Anyway, I'm going to keep on to Mercopress until they get rid of Chirureo and if Conquerer comes back out from hiding I will pursue him also. We can do without idiots like them on either side of the discussion.
Think
If you don't like the pieces put forward by the likes of Lisa, John and Janet, why don't you send valid comments to Mercopress for their consideration? If you think Mercopress is so lopsided why do you keep reading it? You could've fooled me though because I can recall several recent occassions when you've been delighted with Mercopress stories. Maybe the ACTUAL news is not so good for your views these days, rather than the way it is reported.

Did I sour your stomach and ruin your breakfast? I'm In Chile with a bout of insomnia and Merco Press can confirm that my IP posts originates from Santiago.

#184 I have to make a confession. I'm actually Joe Bloggs... I suffer from schizophrenia, which is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness which you can easilly see in my previous posts.

I DO add to the discussion at an intellectual level at least as high as your very valuable contributions. Mine however are somewhat more verbose and certainly more accurate about the reality we face in the region.
Oh no, I just remember... I will probably be banned! I did suggest that Argentina consider invading Uruguay instead of the Falklands because they had the militia capable of logistically supporting an attack from across the river.

In reality its up to you to prove an allegation since it has no basis with all of the most respected international bodies.
Also regarding the classification of default, I'm wondering if the term is different in Argentina/SA? Because what you are stating as fact certainly isn't true of western countries and it most certainly isn't in the UK where I am legally qualified and given no UK/international body recognizes your allegations its clear that I am correct.
This is where we end up when we divide people by borders and origins. Mayhap we should divide people by morals and values instead, only to find out that we are more different within our own borders than compared to others...

Has anyone else notice that #102 nerosaxo and #195 Guzz seem to be the same person. Similar personality and level of intellectual debate contribution seems to make it clear. Also, Mr. Nerosaxo-Guzz claims to be an Urguayan, but I have always encountered the ones I've met as amiable, reasonably intelligent and well informed. So how do you explain this nasty character?
Apr 29th, 2012 - 11:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0198. Guzz may be Ogara but his english is much better. Ogara used to pretend he was from Ireland and lived in London and he also went by brazilerno if he wanted to pretend he was from Brazil. I think this one is the same. They both had a very tenuous grasp of economics, simple math and hated UK and USA. Probably because he is trapped in some poor BA suburb working in a locoturio and that is how he is posting all day.

#199 Sounds sadly like Guzz... I'm feeling somewhat sorry for the pathetic soul. Well that explains why Nerosaxo-Guzz claims to be an Urguayan, because he's always aspired to be considered civilized. Even with my highly creative writing, there is no way I would be able to get someone to believe the rationality of Patacones. It's just too insane...

You, Yanqui, are a bender of truth, allergic to it's very presence. A fact that took me only 4 days to realize. You type anything that crosses your mind, disregarding the fact that we too have internet to check up on your fact.
You, Chicureo, are a bit harder to read, although I suspect you are some sort of law inforcer from the school of Pinochet. You two should get along perfectly, as you share same values and morals.
For the islanders, the only thing I can say is that although I might disagree with you people, it does not even compare to what I feel for these sad excuses for human beings. As a historically failed project, these characters have reached the point of no return, as the tragedy and pain they brought to other people needs to be suffocated in their own minds, just so they can live with themselves.

Apr 29th, 2012 - 01:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0By the way if you carefully analyze posting #204, you'll notice it makes absolutely no sense at all. He feebly denies posting as Nerosaxo and do you notice how he openly expresses an inferiority complex with North Americans? His lack of grammar and certainly his inability to compose rational thoughts place him perhaps with a mediocre secondary English missionary school in Paraguay, probably run by Jehovah Witnesses. (Speculation on my part.)
Finally, his true colors show as a frustrated mediocre-Maoist-Marxist- misogynist suffering of delusions of grandeur regarding his pathetic jealousy of the Falklands Islands wealth. His last paragraph is obviously plagiarized and I think it's brilliant to use for the CFK government.
“...not even compare to what I feel for these sad excuses for human beings. As a historically failed project, these characters have reached the point of no return, as the tragedy and pain they brought to other people needs to be suffocated in their own minds, just so they can live with themselves.” Does it describe Cristina's government or not?

“Table 1 flags which countries in our sample may be considered default virgins, at
least in the narrow sense that they have never failed to meet their debt repayment or
rescheduled. One conspicuous grouping of countries includes the high-income
Anglophone nations, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. (The mother
country, England, defaulted in earlier eras as we shall see.) Also included are all of the
Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Also in Europe, there is
Belgium. In Asia, there is Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Korea.
Admittedly, the latter two countries, especially, managed to avoid default only through
massive International Monetary Fund loan packages during the last 1990s debt crisis and
otherwise suffered much of the same trauma as a typical defaulting country.”

Apr 29th, 2012 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So I have decided to give em some nice little poems about Argentina
We are the time. We are the famous by Jorge Luis Borges
We are the time. We are the famous
metaphor from Heraclitus the Obscure.
We are the water, not the hard diamond,
the one that is lost, not the one that stands still.
We are the river and we are that greek
that looks himself into the river. His reflection
changes into the waters of the changing mirror,
into the crystal that changes like the fire.
To Marianne Moore by Carlos Barbarito
If the idea of immortality is excluded,
there remains dust,
grass,
water that forms puddles,
the branch from which the bird sings,
a certain mystery that reason
supposes a fleeting shadow.
There remains, in the end, life,
And talking about CFK possibly
I SEE A WOMAN MAKING UP by Luis Benitez
I see a woman any woman making up and change
first she is thinking of something else (because when
a woman
begins to make up she hasn't yet separated this act
from the rest of the day).
But when arranging the various objects that the
ceremony
preciously determines in the exact place around
her hands
the woman knows that something has entered this
world again
However she avoids naming that to come
And as burns once said,
Burn the cakes again
And you fly a long way
For you are meaner and meaner
Just like Argentina
Lol.
.thank you for thousands of comments welcoming me back
oh britain, why are you so great lol.
CFK is by the very definition a fascist...

Apr 30th, 2012 - 02:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yankeeboy: I followed your advice and did an analysis at www.teamtechnology.co.uk/mmdi/questionnaire/ of the past 35 recent posts of the character who calls himself “Buzz.
No surprises: The conclusion is he’s a single male, most likely between 18 and 25 years of age, underemployed, most likely still living with is mother, perhaps attended one or two years of trade school before dropping out. An extremely self-centered narcissist, who craves attention and acknowledgement from others. He has trouble empathizing with superiors or understanding their positions. He’s apparently extremely sensitive to rejection - implied, perceived or real from others and may react with displays of aggression, threats or temper tantrums when denied. He claims being a “marine engineer” that commutes between Denmark and Uruguay, but the conclusion is its nothing more than another manifestation of his delusions of grandeur.

Apr 30th, 2012 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0You said in post #38
Quote: “As for UK debt, every pence is repaid unlike your country that chooses to steal money it has borrowed in good faith....”
“The UK has never defaulted and then refused to repay the debt unlike Argentina”
Plus:
“I have not ever once said the UK has paid all of its debt” //comment here: Contradiction with quoting above.
“You really have no idea what you are talking about, unfortunately for you, I do as a qualified stockbroker who has actively traded debt instruments for over 10 years.”
Me #96 DanyBerger said:
“For being a stockbroker you know very little about economy mate.”
“UK defaulted more than 3 times one of the first was with the Italian bankers. And in 1930, 1932, etc.”
Then you ask me to define “default” I did from 3 different sources and said the same as I said before “Failure to meet a contract agreement over loans in this case”
You said in post #98 Xect
“Source to show the UK default since the BOE doesn't recognise a default ever.”
You said in post #232 Xect
“What you have posted is some individuals who classed the UK as having defaulted not international bodies that have recognized a default which is a very significant difference.”
Now I reply to you: Theses “individuals” one resulted to be the Chairman of the Board of
Governors of the United States Federal Reserve (Ben Shalom Bernanke).
And the others “Harvard & Maryland” respectable economy professors.
#232 Xect “Moving back to the subject in hand, what do you think YPF renationalisation will do to foreign investment? And who is going to pay for the 8-12bn required to fund oil exploration and development?
1-From your point of view nothing, because you repeated several times that none invest in Argentina so 0 sum.
2-YPF with its 1.5bn profits plus private investors that already are in the queue to make money with YPF and not by defaulting YPF.
Now Xect you are not British I can see that. Where are you from? Spain?
Regarding Guzz
Apr 30th, 2012 - 11:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0I know that in my lands they know who I am
because to the superiors, I don't bend my neck
because disregarding foreign tracks
I know how to make my own path.
Because you don't see me lick the whip
or move my lips to make some profit
they fully know I am harsh in my words
and not even a mule break will stop me.
Because when I have to sing truths
I sing them aloud, like a man should
even if these truths exposes nests
where no one thought there was any worms.
Because the stuckups of covered kidneys
for whom justice has made no laws
I treat the same as the one that has
only rags to cover their tails.
For you don't fill me with four lies,
the Maracanazos that comes of the people
to praise currencies already dismissed
and make us promises never fulfilled.
Because when I brough my “china” home
I forgot about judges to make marriage
and a womans worth, no matter her goodness
is naught if the man has not paid his rights.
Because I raised my children as infidels
disregarding your priests screaming of hell
I say and hear me, none is the worth of those who
spend all their days pointing towards heaven.
For though I have nowhere to drop dead
I am richer than you who broaden your fields
paying, in stews of dry tombs,
the poor who leaves their lungs, pulling.
So in my lands they know who I am,
because among the coral trees a quebracho disturbs
because all of you have been branded
and your envy is seeing me ownerless.
And what do I care, I'm wild and free!
I don't follow superiors, nor entangle myself in your laws
I follow the paths of my own will
and I need none of you to be my guide.
See you in a couple of weeks :)

@277 What does Argentinas rating matter, when the chinese are spending (your) money in the country??
Apr 30th, 2012 - 09:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your ship is sinking, flag waving high, white, blue and red, with three letters printed in black; A - A - A :)
278 - Argentinas credit rating only matters when they are trying to borrow money on the international money markets. Most successful countries do, but I guess the RG economy must be world beating, with no need to borrow money like 99% percent of the world economies. Must be the 25 percent rampant inflation that keeps it so strong, along with the IMF closing there offices in BA.
Apr 30th, 2012 - 09:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@279 They don't have your need to borrow money, as the chinese are spending those pounds and dollars there anyway (wonder where they got them from...). SA is so full of natural resources, you can't imagine. After 600 years of plundering, it is STILL full of oil, gold, cobber, silver... you name it :) Have you heard of Banco del Sur? We don't NEED the IMF :) :) :)

Apr 30th, 2012 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It matters not that the UK is slightly in recession,
We can only go up,
Argentina on the other hand, is slowly climbing the ladder to nowhere,
Her inflation is ruining any recovery,
As for the UK we will grow again,
And Argentina will soon have to make some very distasteful decisions.
So relax,

Again I say, Banco del Sur, Brazil and Argentina are not borrowing money from IMF anyway, and loans to SA fell from 80% of IMF portfolio in 2005, to 1% of the same in 2008 :) :) :)

May 02nd, 2012 - 08:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its the way modern capatilist economies work. Governments have always borrowed money far back in history, and if like the UK you are credit worthy you get cracking interest rate.
Sadly the RG's defaulted on all recent loans to the IMF and US so as a result you can borrow from anyone. But i suppose your strong economy means you dont need to. Must be a sign of a strong economy to have 25% inflation (and your government lies and mutes the press to keep it quiet) plus a ban on currency leaving the country. Raiding the national banks reserves recently as well!!!!.All signs as you agree of a strong and stable economy.

Is the same rate UK has in the period of 1970/80. And?
“The highest annual average inflation since the introduction of the RPI came in 1975, when inflation touched 25% for that year.”
