    If Brazil doesn't like it they can join Paraguay and Uruguay and leave Mercosur.

    Argentina would have Mercosur all to itself. Then it could properly protect the industries from cheating EU and US subsidized dumping, and from slave labor Chinese junk.

    We would all be very happy if Argentina built a big wall around itself and became self sufficient.

    Marcos Simian,

    What has skin colour got to do with the word Simian?

    Why is Simian racist?

    @6 Condorito

    In reality we are all Simians, being part of the primate family! I am not (and this is where marcos shows his idiocy) using the word here to imply that anyone looks like a primate, but am using the word as I believe it
    1) really annoys some of these malvinists, which is my intention,
    2) conjures up imagery of an idiot unable to grasp articulated thought,
    and 3) is my use of freedom of speech = “because i can” :-)

    Brit,
    I think you’ll find simian means “ape like”. We are primates, but not all simians;)
    I think you’ll find TTT is not a malvinista.

    On the article...
    “Mercosur has become a political forum rather than a trade one. And this concludes with Venezuela becoming a full member without a concrete negotiation, which is rather strange”

    Rubens makes a lot of good points.

    Yes, Mercosur will perish. Mercosur in its original form will perish, and thank God it will. From the ashes a new Mercosur will rise, a Mercosur not intended to fill the pockets of the rich. A Mercosur that protects its natural resources from sellouts and its market from being flooded with cheap goods, killing the local production. If Argentina is the one responsible of this happening, I thank my neighbours whole-heartedly :)

    I say:
    The full membership of Venezuela has been negociated and ready for almost 5 (five) years!

    The ONLY thing missing during those 5 (five) years was the ratification of the Paraguayan parlament...............

    @1 - so Tobias, you want Argentina to trade with itself?? Excellent economic model there, wait by the phone 'cos I'm sure the Dear Leader Cristina will be calling you for advice.

    In regards to the comments by Mr Barbosa, our Argtard friends can't imagine that someone would have a view that isn't in some way political. But Mr Barbosa is a businessman and can obviously see which way the wind is blowing.

    And if he can see, so can a lot of other businessmen, whose job it is to make profit for their shareholders and themselves. So when people stop investing in countries belonging to Mercosur, their economies will suffer, and Mercosur will collapse and it won't be pleasant.

    It's probably best for Brazil to get out know before the ship starts sinking. But 'politics' won't allow them, and Argentina and Venezula will drag everyone down with them.

    @1 Congratulations! You have just shown yourself to be a complete TiT. As LEPRecon asks “Is argieland going to trade with itself?” Doubt if it could get it right. argieland NEVER gets ANYTHING right!
    @3 You are SO easy to HATE!! A criminal gang with so many delusions. 1. Importance. 2. Competence. 3. Democracy. 4. Power. 5. Honesty/Truth. 6. Wealth. argieland has none of these.
    @4 Couldn't wait to get an ad hominem in, could you?
    @6 If it looks like a TiT, thinks like a TiT and talks/types like a TiT, chances are it's a TiT!
    @9 And you keep your crystal balls where? Mercosur is headed down a familiar path. Are they calling it “ever closer union” yet? A “trade” organisation should stick to trade. But it's become political, hasn't it. argieland couldn't dominate Unasur so Mercosur was an obvious step where it could be one of the “top dogs”. Here is the problem. argieland is currently headed by a “dog” who is also impatient. So Mercosur becomes a political lever. Experience shows that when an organisation of this type starts to interfere in countries' internal affairs, it has started to kill itself. The EU is doing this. It doesn't understand that peoples want to govern themselves for their own benefit. Being smaller, Mercosur will die faster. And the people won't want anything similar. Dozy politicians.
    @11 Oh, how you love to “dictate”!
    @14 There seems to be some sort of buzzing, whining noise!
    @20 Got one right! “I'm just the idiot Guzz”

    Members need to decide if they want it as an economic block or a political block.

    If it is moving towards being a political block combined with full membership for Venezuela then any nation with any sense should leave.

    No it is not just Argentina, protectionism, border blocks, and shouting that will end Mercosur, it is also the Bolivarian imperatives that underpin Mercosur's Venezuela with its ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América) group of nations.

    With the incorporation of VE into Mercosur, there will be a powerful *political* imperative to integrate ALBA, (with its 'common SUCRE currency' and anti-capitalist practices) and Mercosur (with its monetary diversity and its capitalist practices).

    The illogicalities that have riven the EU with the incorporation of the 'poorer' Eastern group of nations will become (have already become) the coffin-nails of Mercosur.

    Whether Brasil will be prepared to undertake the scale of giving required across nations with such different levels of GDP and earnings per person is arguable, considering its own spread of distribution of the nation's income.

    MercoSur will be gone shortly, the powerful trading block of Venezuela and Argentina will be the only members left. Unfortunately they already do as much trade with each other as is possible. Chavez will be dead in 6 mohts or less then..CFK will be all alone. Left with only hyperinflation and depression, a terrible combination and not one that can be easily fixed.

    Its really quite trying here in Argentina. When I went to school I was battered by the “Malvinas son Argeninas” thing by my teachers until I really thought it was true, then as I grew up I noticed that it was only trotted out by the government of the day when something started to go wrong, usually after a military coup. That is when I started studying up on the subject and found that all I'd been taught in school was rubbish.

    You aren't very bright are you Mr Hunter? “And for us natives is now enough to just be born here to tell white trash to go home any time we please.” So when will you be leading a revolution to remove most of Argentine's population who are of “white trash european” origin?

    You hate us Europeans and our influence and yet you fail to realise that Argentina was created by us. You haven't really got a grasp of reality have you sir? In fact by your logic Argentina will have to be dissolved all its institutions that are of European origin as well will have to go and about 95-99% of the countries population will have to come back home to Europe. You haven't got this anti-europe thing thought out have you?

    Oh and by the way the House of Lords does not dictate to us, it actually has a lot of respect as most of them aren't career politicians, they are only paid if they show up and they have always suggested legislation that has been in tune with the public. Try again salame.

    See Conor, most Argentines hate Europeans, not just the Brits. We don't hate you so much for who you are. We hate you for who you you try to pass of as being in our faces.

    You see, people tend not to like it when they are lectured on morality by people with an equally turbid, if not more putrid baggage of history.

    The day Europe displays contrition for its past, we would immediately show forgiveness, and the the ball would be in “our” (argentina's) court to fully attone for our past. But Europe never has. And never will we all know that.

    Oh Jesus Christ, IQ's certainly dropped will I was away! Sussie, TTT, Hunter etc, you fail to fundamentally understand, you try and contour me on my argument about Argentina's past, yet you fail to realise that you by the crap that you spout have no rights, to the land you occupy, you all say (TTT exempt) that the Falkland islanders have no rights to their islands as they are implanted, while you lot fail to realise that you are implanted as well, Mr Hunter I doubt you are a native, and even if you are, you are no doubt European related.

    “Please explain create by who?”
    “Argentina was now created by you?”

    Yeah us Europeans, were do you think your Spanish language and mostly European based political/cultural lifestyle come from? Did it perhaps fall out of the Sky? Maybe the natives phoned up the Spanish/Portuguese and requested that their lifestyle would form the basis of a future nation called Argentina? No we Europeans arrived with our technology and we said to ourselves “oh this would make a nice piece of civilisation for his Majesty.” “Hey you native man with spear, you work for us now.”

    “You see, people tend not to like it when they are lectured on morality by people with an equally turbid, if not more putrid baggage of history.” I did not lecture Sir I merely pointed out that “Europe's evil white trash colonialism,” created the most important basis for most of the modern world to exist. Hate us all you want, but genetically you people are European/Asian etc. colonialists and therefore you have no right to complain about colonialism, only the natives have a right to complain and most off them are either dead or they have been amalgamated without recognition into modern day LatAm. Oh and if Mr Hunter's worlds are anything to go by then, colonialism is just fine, he hates white trash Europeans, yet he supports white trash created Argentina in its claim for white trash created Falkland's.

    Obviously he is an “ideological capitalist”, he is a business man and representative of the business men of a state with a higher GDP than the whole of Argentina. Protectionist policies between Argentina and Brasil are killing off businesses in Argentina: Small fruit growers in Río Negro and Neuquén, olive oil producers in La Rioja and San Juan, car producers in Córdoba, just to name a few. These businesses employ thousands of people who are now losing their jobs, so BK where the hell is your socialism?
    Kretina and Dilma are throttling their own supporters, is that what socialism is all about?
    I thought it was about distributing wealth to all classes, not distributing poverty to the lower classes and money to the ruling elite!!!

    Sir your English is poor and the structure prevents me from understanding what you are saying.
    If you are asking why the My nation was fighting with her sister nations well there's many reasons for that, power, supporting allies, the desires of monarchies, wealth, religion, imperial desires etc. Why were we fighting in the middle east?

    “I really think that a lot of Argentines have come to the same conclusion.”

    I once lived in Argentina for a couple of years, have a large number of well educated Argentino friends with whom I am still in touch and visit once or twice a year.

    Based on their opinions you are not alone.

    Most of them say “up your with those bloody islands, we have all the natural resources we need, but we don't use them - let's solve our *real* problems.”

    Do you really think that the problem is the way I write in English or your lack of understanding? Uhm...

    You replied to the question of Guzz “Argentina was now created by you?” the following:

    “Yeah us Europeans, were do you think your Spanish language and mostly European based political/cultural lifestyle come from?”

    And then you continued...
    “Sir I merely pointed out that “Europe's evil white trash colonialism,” created the most important basis for most of the modern world to exist”

    later you follow with “he hates white trash Europeans, yet he supports white trash created Argentina in its claim for white trash created Falkland's.”

    To what I asked to you how was created Britain and why you fought against whites European if we where the base of you civilisation as well.

    Any logic explanation mate? Or is too hard to understand?

    Thank you for e wording Mr Berger as to the fast part of your comment I have already answered. We europeans fought against one another for some of the following reasons; “power, supporting allies, the desires of monarchies, wealth, religion, imperial desires etc.”

    If you were wondering why I used the term “White trash Europeans” this was an insulting phrase used by Mr Pirat-Hunter who used it and spoke out against colonialism, despite being so supportive of Argentina a country which was created by these same people through the same process. Does that answer your question?

    Because we Germans contributed to your creation after the Italians and the Spanish and also the French, the Dutch & Middle East more recently.

    You have obviously failed to get a grasp of what I'am saying, I'am not criticising Argentina for being the product of colonialism because Britain was created in a similar way and carried out the process for itself, I pointed out how Hypocritical it was for Argentina to scream and call for an end to colonialism when it itself is in the same situation. Mr Berger, I myself and the world respect Argentina's right to exist as a colonially created country so I would expect you to give the same treatment to the Falkland's Good day sir.
