“Self determination” seems to have lost it's meaning to South Americans.
May 03rd, 2012 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's become another snappy but meaningless phrase to them. This article has nothing to do with self determination.
No one is against self determination (except the usual suspects the malvanista's and other assorted argtards), but their is a difference between nationalising a company and stealing a company.
May 03rd, 2012 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In the last few weeks both Argentina and Boliva have 'stolen' companies that belong to the Spanish.
It seems to me that you are all hell bent on burning all your bridges and connections to the mother country and flouting international law and business practices.
That's fine, that's your respective countries perogative, but don't expect a happy ending when the international community stop playing nice and start getting serious. As always the ordinary people will suffer for these insane policies.
@6 Lack of morality is in their DNA and supported by their culture, so theft is normal behaviour for them. They're sadly trapped in this cycle by both nature and nurture. Prevarication is another key facet of an Argtard.

This 'Marine Engineer' whose qualifications could not get him into the Institute of Marine Engineers in the UK: most of his cohort are out of jobs and advertising in LinkedIn, is not Uraguayo. That much is clear.
Looks like I migh be banned with you and GreekYoghurt after this! Good company then. :o)
#14 Yes, and if I have to go down with the ship, let it be with those who are right.
May 03rd, 2012 - 04:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Although an attractive proposition in the immediate term, nationalization does not work. You end up with too many employees, too much bureacracy and endless govenment interference and as a result the industry stagnates and fails. This is why the Russians and Chinese denationalized.
May 03rd, 2012 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So did Argentina and now they're doing it again. Never ending nightmare...
May 03rd, 2012 - 07:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16 The issue then is that it develops an ingrained 'civil service' culture where people don't lose jobs, pensions are massive, it's all comfy and like in the real civil service no one actually does any work, because ultimately no one is accountable.

@9 I believe you're right. He's shown himself as a total numbskull on numerous occasions as Guzz. So, now he's embarrassed and is using a new name. Give him a week or two to make himself look like a shithead again and we'll see a new name. You go girl!!!

Simple logic: A third world country (I've been there.) that lacks basic services of health, education and sanitation that is controlled in areas by the drug lords who treat their coca growers relatively well, but are a cancer to the country. They have enormous natural resources to develop, but are hindered by their own society.

As I said in my previous intervention, the so called 'first world' must come into terms and start negotiating and follow clear rules with everyone. I am not going to waste time writing about how good or bad is Britain, Europe, etc as everywhere there are good and not so good people....thanks.

May 04th, 2012 - 02:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't get in discussions with Chicureo and GreekYogur, it's a tactic they use, them two, together with Yanqui and el Pistolero Conquistador will start telling you that you aren't Uruguayan and start abusing you. If you get upset and abuse back, the beehive queen will judge you. Hence you will be defined as a troll.
Don't interact with them.
#24 I agree with all of that, but something also has to be done about the oligarchies and imperialist interests that have held these countries back

PUBLISHED: 4 May 2012 |
Callous Argentine fishermen are eating steaks carved from dolphins which have been illegally caught in the South Atlantic Channel, conservationists claim.
Experts believe the animals are being hauled on board trawlers after becoming trapped in nets off the Falklands Islands waters.
Fillets of flesh are then sliced off to be eaten before the bodies of the highly intelligent mammals are callously tossed back into the water.
Threat: Common dolphins seen off the Falklands coats. Wildlife experts have accused Argentine fisherman of eating the animals
Since the beginning of January, Falklands Wildlife Trust's Marine Strandings Network has examined and recorded 50 dead dolphins and porpoises. Just under half, 23, showed distinct signs of having died in fishing gear.
A common dolphin, examined on the beach at in early April, one of five discovered in the same week, showed scars typical of a large trawler net from which it presumably tried to escape. A spokesman for South Atlantic Wildlife Trust said: 'A large fillet of flesh had been removed from the back - presumably for eating. 'This is a known practice on Argentine boats and Argentine pair trawlers were working close to the Islands waters at the time. 'The dolphin's tail had been cut off in the course of cutting the animal free from a winch strop which was used to lift it over the side of the boat.

May 04th, 2012 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please like this page in order to force Argentina to return Misiones and Formosa Provinces to Paraguay, the country they were stolen from in 1870!
Misiones and Formosa Provinces are provinces of Argentina that were seized and annaxed by Argentina from Paraguay this page is dedicated to address Argentine hyporcacy and ensuring their return to Paraguay.
It's only right that Argentina first addresses its own hyocracy by re-examining its own history before talking about taking more land it has never had soverignty over. Not just the Falklands but South Georgia and the South Sandwhich Islands.
