    Argentina used to have the best beef in the world, but since Nestor and Cristina Kirchner have been in power, the beef industry has been completely destroyed. Nobody should eat the poor quality and polluted beef, it's not fit for human consumption. Argentine beef loaded with hormones, drugs and chemicals that have been outlawed in the USA and Europe and they have been known to ship rotten beef for export after it's been washed with bleach and ammonia, injected with formaldehyde and red food coloring.
    Lemons from Argentina are sprayed with toxic and dangerous chemicals that cause cancer and nerve damage and injected with artificial yellow coloring because the soil in Argentina is so depleted of minerals in that the lemons grow white on the trees and have no flavor.
    Industrial products such as tools, automobiles, machinery and appliances from Argentina are the worst and poorest quality in the world. Even the chinese won't buy them. There is no industrial standard, they use the lowest quality raw materials and no testing is done before they are shipped. This has caused people to be injured by unsafe products, many people have been electrocuted by Argentine washing machines and hot water heaters that leave the factory with short circuits.
    All countries should completely avoid ALL Argentine products permanently.
    And this is how Crisitna Kirchner stays in power.......

    'Argentina to apply new software for quantifying' ....
    “quan·ti·fy/ˈkwäntəˌfī/
    Verb:
    Express or measure the quantity of.”

    I guess they are using the fancy new abacus the Chinese sold to them.....

    3 Fuckland: Thanks for your derogatory comment (and name “Fuckland”!), because just like that derogatory Fuckland movie of 2000, you are very clear what you think of the Falkand Islands community and people. Your clear hatred of the Falkland Islands people is probably more accurate than CFK lackeys such as Arg ambo to UK Alicia Castro offering all sorts of human rights security to the Falkland Islands community. By your brief insult to the Falkand Island people, you make it clear what many Argentines really might hold in store if they ever again have any power over the Islands.

    3 F......d

    Anybody can be as puerile as you but it is obvious that you are at the yob and less intelligent end of the Malvinista posters from
    Arse end Tina. There I have done it .

    The Falklanders are already 4 to 5 times richer than the average
    Arse end tinian with the prospect of being amongst the richest people on the planet quite soon. Not bad for a 'barren bunch of rocks' that Britain was trying to offload until they realised what an arrogant bunch of fascists the Arse end tinians were and still are. This racism against 'gringos' is so blatant that there is absolutely no way the Falklanders want anything to do with your pathetic loser of a country.

    @briton

    The Islands have been watching from the sky since long time ago so don’t worry this is just a normal procedure for fish stuff.

    @STRATEGICUS

    can you define “gringos” please???

    And Kretina
    You don't get electrocuted by a machine that “leaves the factory short circuited”. Such a machine will simply just not work and all that will happen is that the fuse will go.
    Only way to get electrocuted by a machine is if the machine isn't grounded and the phase/s are in direct contact with touchable metal :)

    Great technological step forward for Cristina's Argentina, marvelous!

    #1 Are you posting this crap everywhere?

    #5 I read that that film was actually challenging Argentines' perceptions and shoed the Islanders in a good light =)

    Very very scary news about Argentina signing a military cooperation agreement with Venezuela, these people are looking to start a war.
    www.buenosairesherald.com/article/105945/argentina-venezuela-to-sign-military-agreement
    Did you hear about the new “militant” movement that Kirchners are starting that will make “La Cámpora” look like a group of kids in nursery school? It's called “Vatayon”, it's a Kirchner backed group that goes into the prisons of Argentina to recruit supporters for their political movement. This is frightening!

    12 British_Kirchnerist: Not disagreeing that the Fucklands (2000) movie showed Argentine actor Fabián Stratas as a callow person with a misogynist view of Falkland Islands women and one especially whom Stratas impregnates (British actor Camilla Heaney) but the ethical issue is that movie was made with neither awareness nor consent of Falkland Islands community - same ethical issue as more-recent Zylberberg Olympics short video shot in Stanley. Now after 12 years, still have problem with Argentines ignoring and belittling core values of Falkland Islands community. Not a lot of progress there eh?

    Contrast the trash movies with Iluminados por el Fuego (2005) that while it still retained much of the primordial Argentine belief-myth that Falklands are Argentine, was shot in Falklands with awareness and consent of Falkland Islands community. Obviously with an anti-invasion message it would hardly be contested by Falkland Islands community.

    Actor Gastón Pauls in Iluminados has a small moment of awareness of the Falklands as a real community when at 1:24: 50, he sees Falklands children playing and looks up to see a painted placard on a house wall saying in Spanish:
    “Argentines: You'll be welcomed when you stop demanding sovereignty and you accept our right to self-determination”

    I told you guys that every macho stupid comment by CaMoron and fellow party supporters are endangering some 3k in SA even more.

    You are still in time to avoid another war but I think that some people never learn.

    @17
    as well as the Fur Seals you are clubbing to death like the primitives you are.
    And that action will get the USA on the side of the UK-go figure.
    @16
    Correct, the Argentines never learn from their mistakes, but in 1982 were lucky in that they had airfields at the end of it.

    Not, next time.
