A proud week for South-American democratic institutions…
Still interesting to see where the USA goes on this one…
Of course, the Britard mob, which knows nothing of the region's politics, will nonetheless make sure to register their inane tut-tutting only because this is a Unasur/Mercosur action. They'd still find ways to bitch if Unasur passed a resolution saying the sky is blue and clouds aren't made of cotton.
Jun 30th, 2012 - 05:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done Cristina. Now Paraguay will have to democratise fast
Jun 30th, 2012 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Gawd what a waste of hot air. UnaSur...hahaha The next step is for all the countries to adopt the Arg Peso as their common currency. Bahahahaa

Good move Unasur - same as in the Br Commonwealth- you get suspended out. But not so sure how Timmerman can claim such expertise in free elections etc?
Jun 30th, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently direct payment to vote is OK and considered Democratic, so it ruling by decree and ignoring their Constitution. Otherwise how does Argentina stay in? Hmm? Odd?

@3 Now let's see, the democratically-elected National Congress decides to impeach a “president” who wasn't legally entitled to run for office. And other S. Am. countries are really quick to condemn this? How does that work?

Much in the same way that you don't know anything about Northern Irish affairs eh Mr Forget? Hypocrite. I guess that makes you a Argtard then doesn't it?
If any of the malvinistas on this thread took the time to read the Paraguayan Constitution, they would find that the Diputados and Senadores of that Nation complied totally with their Constitution during the impeachment of ex-President Lugo.
Jun 30th, 2012 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only organizations showing a total lack of Democracy are Mercosur and Unasur, which are basically run by a group of semi-dictators like Kretina, Corea, Chavez, Evito, etc.
It is a shame that the more serious Soth American Republics, like Chile, Peru, and Colombia don't stand up to these anti-democratic dictators.
The Mad Bitch of Argentina's lap dog Timmidman is just the person to spout the crap on behalf of this disgraceful organisation. Odious toad.
Jun 30th, 2012 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are all assuming that Paraguay WANTS to come back! Why should they? They have the FTA with the USA and their support in military matters.
WGAF about Mercosur? They can dance to the tune of the Dead Man Walking until he croaks at the end of the year.
Paraguay has a good relationship with the USA why would they give a FOOK about Mercosur. Tinman looks like he's got wind
Jun 30th, 2012 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Both Argentina and Brazil constantly break the charters of “MSur” and “USur” by not letting all the countries trade equally among themselves. Why have these groups not sanctioned both countries for breaking their charters? Sounds very democratic to me, NOT.

Jun 30th, 2012 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What did I say of North Ireland that was wrong? That you deserved to be bombed by IRA? But that's correct.
Paraguay has one of the more important German communities in South America. German settlers founded several towns as Hohenau, Filadelfia, Neuland, Obligado, Nueva Germania, etc. Some specialized German sites that promote German immigration to Paraguay refers to 5–7% of German-descent Paraguayan population
Jun 30th, 2012 - 08:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cant Germany help them.
If Argentina gave up all the land,
Posadas [south of] all the way down to Buenos Aires
All the lands between, reconquista and uruguaiana,
And between=parana and concordia,
Taking all this land is a snake like spiral, paraguay could have access to the sea.
After all, argentina is far to big, to ambitiouse,
We say, give them the land and access to the see,
Just an opinion, so don’t jump out of the 20th floor windows,
Mmm ok then, jump, but don’t scream, people are trying to sleep.

no one deserves to be bombed and killed,
but no doubt if it happend to your family, a different opinion, we suspect you would have, [08 conor is correct ]
how does it feel mr tinman to have so much power, in ones hands,
shame them you did not do better things with your hands, like putting them over you mouth,
just an opinion boys .
I hope Paraguay drops out of UnaSur and MercoSur so the USA can finally ramp up the military airbase there. It would be a boon for their economy and give the USA ( and of course UK) a very strategic location should we need it for some reason...
Jul 01st, 2012 - 12:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You're a know nothing dumb fucktard. Military bases a boom to the economy? Please show to me the downfall of the Ecuadorian economy following the kicking out your breed from there. Only sector of the economy that US military bases are known to stimulate is prostitution.

It's dated but still relevant, especially in a very poor country.

You have no roof to your needs, and as a society, you are despicable :)
Guzz/Toby/Forget, If that makes you feel better good for you!
Jul 01st, 2012 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I see CFK shut down the funding for privately run soup kitchens but has the military delivering food to the villas/slums, what do you make of that? Nothing nefarious is there? Methinks she is trying to drum up a little support so she keeps her neck the same length as it is currently.
BTW I also saw that the basic food basket went up 9% compared to last month. Did you get a 9% raise too?
Mmm burgers are tasty.
What I make out of the military feeding its people? Well, a more dignified military than your own, travelling the world killing infants...
Jul 01st, 2012 - 01:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well if you can't fight I guess trying to feed a starving citizenry in a country that exports 89% of it's food is probably a good thing.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Although I am pretty sure that is not her motive.
So if the goal is to feed people why did ALL OF THE FUNDING GET CUT TO THE SOUP KITCHENS? Hmm strange.
yanqui
Jul 01st, 2012 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are yanqui, and you criticize funding cuts to soup kitchens.... Get a hang of reality, you are M U R D E R I N G children in the arab countries, but hey, what about those soup kitchens, lets talk about them....
Better to let them slowly and painfully starve to death so that CFK has a lower trade deficit.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Arg military delivering food I am sure can't have ANYTHING to do with her plummeting support. I wonder what is next electric heaters, no that won't be too good for the grid..gas stoves...nope need the nat gas other places...well food it is. What do you call that gross fried flour? I can't remember they were serving it at the soup kitchen in Puerto Madero when I lived there.
The place improved in humanity and morals the instant you left...
Jul 01st, 2012 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what Hector Timerman knows about democracy?
Jul 01st, 2012 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He read the declaration. Perhaps he should be invited to read the result of the forthcoming Falkland Islands referendum?
Did you know that US kids PAY to work in RG soup kitchens! Wow what a great way to understand how Socialism/Marxism/Peronism ruins a county.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 03:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think the USA gov't should send them for free!

Yes yanqui, I bet it's mainstream nowadays,the young glorious yanquis pays to help out poor hungry people in BA while the older glorious yanquis get themselves an own little poor African kid to promote themselves with. In the meantime they will bomb, steal, torture, rape and kill any society that dares to chose its own path to follow... You guys are true american heroes...
Jul 01st, 2012 - 03:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know, right! The USA is great!!
Jul 01st, 2012 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Did you know I can smell your jealousy (oh wait is that desperation sometimes it is hard to tell) all the way up here! Even with the windows closed and the a/c blasting!
There are two scenarios here.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 01, I don't really care what you think, and that would be it.
2, I do care of what you think, and that leaves me this... sadness, how sad a human being can be so self-centered he actually believes anyone would like to be like him, you fail to realize we all appreciate our lives the way you do yours, we just don't draw the conclusion that it must mean everyone wants to be like us...
So, either your post is excessive, or just plain sad...
That would be true if your posts weren't so pathetic, full of jealousy and desperation. Maybe you don't see it. i certainly do and so does everyone one else on this board. Toby/TTT/Guzz/Forget and quite possibly one or two others....pathetic, sad and desperate to be relevant.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 04:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You mean that everyone on these forums can see that everybody wants to be like you? yanqui, we are not treating “you” here. Nobody here ask your good day, do they? No, that's because noone cares, lad. Believe me, noone wants to be like you :)
Jul 01st, 2012 - 05:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would say the est 12MM illegal Latinos living in my beautiful country came here to live like I do...they could have just as easily gone to Argentina or Brazil right? Even easier I guess since they would assimilate quicker and easier.
Jul 01st, 2012 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So why the USA....I wonder. Why leave an advanced degree career to come here to clean pools or houses? Must be a reason huh?
I bet they have 12MM reasons... Either way, noone really cares how many kitchen soups your youth attends to, nor your imressive personal, admirable way of living. Your government is murdering children in the 3rd world, that we DO care about...

I do agree with him that you are a desperate twat. 24/7 here blasting a “3rd world country”, to feel better about the sh!t that your own is in, that is the only explanation.
It would be like me going to some forum to egg on Burma all day for being “less rich” than us. Don't you realize how burlesque you make yourself?
feel better about the sh!t that your own is in...is that yoda-ese?

Where did I say I thought you were Think? He is even a sadder case then you are. He lives in bizzaro world where Argentina is not falling apart and making itself look ridiculous on the world stage.
BTW are you going to the BA salary protest on Wednesday? Will they be paying salaries in Patacones shortly or just not pay them at all?
