Sun Bingo , Sun Bingo, Sun Bingooooo.
Are you shitting me, bingo to see if you get paid or not? You couldn't make this shit up, so if you don't win you get fook all for working
Jul 24th, 2012 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0we wonder if it includes all 4 corners,
Jul 24th, 2012 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A line,
and a full house .

You can see a situation where Argentina will break into separate provinces again. The richer, better run provinces must wonder why they are at the whim of the Portenos and a bad government to receive money they are entitled to. Stories like this must add fuel to the fire.

Jul 24th, 2012 - 10:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That would make their sovereignty claims over the FI, interesting to say the least!!
Cant wait to see this written into the Argentine constitution
Jul 24th, 2012 - 10:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hahahaha, you people are the works. Pathetic to the cells that you carry.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0So lets see... if some tiny town in the UK is populated by child molesters, then we must conclude that you all are.
Bialet Masse is a TINY town (and town is generous) that depends 100% on tourism, and it has nearby Cosquin which is the main draw anyway for the folk and rock festivals. So all their income is made in two months pretty much, January and February. The rest of the year, not much since while people do travel it is fraction and there are no big tour contracts and concerts then which trully help the coffers.
Bingo dilemma solved.
Elaine, keep dreaming. Even as a staunch pro-Mendoza guy, no argie believes in separatism, that is for backwards, disloyal countries like your own and those in your part of the world.
@7 You know your fascination with child molesters is not going unnoticed TTT.
Jul 25th, 2012 - 04:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Facts are, we have laws other here, such as the employment rights act 1998 that means it is unlawful for an employer (wether its the government of private/public company) to not pay employees their pay on their contracted pay day. It is also unlawful for the state to pay less than what the law deems is required for any person to live off, in state benefits, which also means that unfortunately even pedos are entitled to minimum that the law says is required for them to live of on state benefits.
However, in argentina, employers do not have to pay their employees on time and it is deemed perfectly acceptable to hold a bingo draw to determine which employees get paid and which have to wait until further funds become available. I would hate to imagine how many months wages are owned to any one employee as a result. Its pathetic and your trying to disguise how pathetic and clownish it looks by making statements about child molestors in british towns. You clearly forget that other here the age of consent is 16 whilst in argentina it is only 13 and the fact that it is a well know fact that poorer countries have higher rates of sexual assualts on children than in more develop countries, only reason it may appear that we have more pedos here, is purely because we have better policing and justice system, meaning more are offenders are caught, where in argentina policing is a joke, hence your high murder rates and other crime rates.
Now back to my first statement about your fascination on child molesters, one must wonder why your so fascinated with them and why you keep calling us brits them, you do know the saying “it takes one to know one!” don't you?
And before you complain about me calling you a child molester, i suggest you think about about how many times you have called us brits here on these comment boards child molestors, racist, sexist and etc. Just goes to show who you really are!!
And the sad, retarded, inbred Argentinian scum try to tell as that Argentina is a booming country? The only thing that is booming in Argentina is incest.

Thousands of care workers paid under legal limit
“Panorama discovers that many British workers are still being paid much less than the law states”
“Susan (not her real name) is one of more than two million people employed in the care industry in the UK.
She wanted to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job.”

“Her hourly rate was £6.16 but she was not paid for the 10-hour sleepover part of the shift - even though she was often disturbed by the patient during the night - leaving her with an average hourly rate of £3.36 - well below minimum wage and making life a struggle.
”It is just so difficult, you have to count each penny. It is a matter of having a bag of potatoes that will last me a week for supper, or it is baked beans on toast.”
“On June 29, a 48-year-old man tied himself to the railings outside Selly Oak Jobcentre in Birmingham, England, dousing himself with fuel and setting himself alight. He was protesting not receiving his benefit payment.
This horrific event is the direct outcome of the austerity measures implemented by the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition....
Unemployed worker sets himself on fire for not receiving his benefit payment.
A Guardian source reported that the man had been identified as vulnerable, with longstanding health issues, but had been found “fit to work” by a work-capability assessment. His payments had been delayed.”

It is kinda sad that TTT living in Argentina has no idea of the country beyond his Mama's front door. I have travelled the length and breadth of Argentina and a recurring theme is a wish to break away from control by BsAs. Separatism is very much a topic in the provinces.

TTT don't be so terrified of leaving the nest. You cannot learn everything from a book, you need some life experience too.
started reading and thought this was a story from the daily mash
Jul 25th, 2012 - 10:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done Burger, you posted a lnke to a picture, and your “Facts” are from forums. Well done, you are indeed a great diplomat for your country....PMSL
Jul 25th, 2012 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm certain you don't want us to spend 5 minutes researching poverty in Argentina, the amount of copy 'n' pasting that would be done would quickly turn this page into the most posted in Mercopress History.

Jul 26th, 2012 - 01:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are quite simply on crack, or paco.
How about you post some links to those separatist themes? I thought you were intelligent, I was wrong and I stand corrected.
This poor woman takes comments like “Buenos Aires is out of control” (true) and equals them to “we want to break away”.
Idiotic at the very least.
If I asked people in the UK, US or any European country what do you think of taxes, they would say “too high”. If I was Elaine, I would conclude that you all are tax dodgers. That's a perfect analogy of how ridiculous she is.
No argentine province will separate or break away or even has any organized movement to break away, period, end of story.

An Investigative TV show from BBC One

Here you have more

Undercover reporter 'haunted' by abuse of patients
http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_9604000/9604221.stm
“My experience at Winterbourne View will stay with me for a very long time.
The hitting, slapping, bullying, dousing with water, cruel and often pointless use of physical restraint on people - many with a child-like understanding of the world - all happened in front of my eyes...
On a near-daily basis, I watched as some of the very people entrusted with the care of society's most vulnerable targeted patients - often, it seemed, for their own amusement. They are scenes of torment that are not easily forgotten.”
Do you want more shocking stories from UK and the state of decline it has or that is just enough?
The problem isn't too much centralisation as Elaine would have it, but too little. Cristina isn't able to ensure the welfare of people in oppostion held provinces to the extent she would like to do according to her pro-people politics, because of excessive federalism. Short of a forced centralisation the best solution is for the provinces, and right down to the level of small towns, to elect left, Cristinista administrations willing to work under her leadership to serve the people rather than fighting her on behalf of the old elite and/or personal ambition. When are the next provincial and local elections?
