Whoops, argtards. More people don't like you! Are you surprised, faggots?
Aug 21st, 2012 - 08:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is only to be expected given the actions of TMBOA and her despectic 'world leading' government: they wish.
Aug 21st, 2012 - 08:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And more is yet to come, so all the Malvanistas had better get used to it.
What a bunch of wimps they are all becoming, like little children running off to tell sir.

“I'm gonna tell on you too.”
“Yaha, I'm gonna tell on you first.”
Grow up for ferk sake!!!!!
the world struggle to go forward,
Aug 21st, 2012 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0meanwhile south America, in part, rushes to go backwards .
poor CFK she promises the only thing, she cannot produce,
[the truth ]
F'k Japan, the United States, the UK, the EU, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, India, Russia, China, and all the other bastards who have never allowed Argentina to trade fairly with them. They are cheaters, dirty, and pathetic.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 01:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is taking on you all, good for us. We ain't taking it sitting down how about that???
TTT and reality check - try to get this through your thick skulls. It is widely accepted as fact that free trade between nations is a benefit to every nation. The WTO exists to ensure that all trade is free and that individual nations are not restricting it and nations can report instances where others are not allowing this, through import duties or subsidies for instance. Argentina, has on the face of it, broken these rules and has been reported. You probably think it hasn't and it's all a giant conspiracy by colonialists, because you're both stupid AND paranoid. But it doesn't matter what you or I think, because an independent body, the WTO, will investegate and rule on the facts.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0It DOES matter whether Argentina has broken the rules, because restricting free trade is bad for the global economy and the global economy isn't exactly booming at the moment, as I'm sure you've noticed.
Whenever Argentina mention the Falkland Islands they mention the ovwerwhelming world support they get for their claim.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0This only goes to show how self-deluded they are, because I can't see where this overwhelming support comes from.
@7
OK, then you're going to be a lot poorer then aren't you.
Have the Falkland Islands been reported to the WTO? No because they know how to run business and trade fairly. A country of 3000 can do what a country of 40,000,000 cannot. CFK would be well advised to ask the Islanders to help run her economy. Then, Argentina would be a huge success.

The WTO is a toothless organisation, name one ocassion when it ever followed up any complaint with any form of of effectived sanction!
Erm, how about the $1.3 billion fine for Brazil in 2000:
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 07:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/894230.stm
Or more recently, fines against the US over cotton ($300m), against the US over steel ($150m) etc etc. There are plenty of examples. So much for the argument its just big countries hitting smaller ones.
Free trade as widely accepted fact??? That's an outright and blatent lie. Mayhap within the halls of capitalism, but that's also it

Aug 22nd, 2012 - 11:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a fine patriotic speach, Cristina would be proud of her little troll, it proves her indoctrination program is working perfectly.
“Argentina is taking on you all, good for us. We ain't taking it sitting down how about that???”
Actually, you will take whatever comes, Arg is a sinking ship, it niether has the ability or will to change what is coming (financial & social meltdown).
however I don't doubt the old trump card will be played “it wasn't us it was the Junta” “it wasn't our fault the world was against us”
With fools like you blatently ignoring what is happening and patrioticaly defending your Gov, quite frankly you deserve what you get.
I guess it takes a sinking ship to know a sinking ship?
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 03:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 Ah, diddums. Is it all everybody else's fault again? Knew it couldn't be your fault. Just as a matter of interest, has anything ever been your fault? When you decided to try to steal some of our territory in 1820, that would have been our fault. Naturally, the “Conquest of the Desert” was the natives' fault. Imagine the temerity of those people trying to protect THEIR land, THEIR way of life, THEIR lives. And whose fault was it that you backed the wrong side in WW2? And only “changed sides” when it became obvious that your pals weren't going to win. When you got as far as your “Dirty War”, whose fault was that? Presumably that of all the people that “disappeared”. How convenient. Then you tried to steal our territory AGAIN. I clearly remember how the farmers of the Falkland Islands threatened you and forced you to invade and start a war...not! Then there was that business with the IMF. Many countries have been aided by the IMF, but not argieland. No, that was a disaster for you. Strange that. Now all these countries are against you when trading. Could it be anything to do with the fact that you lie and cheat? Or that you can't keep to agreements? Or treaties? Or laws? Unless it suits you. AND you're trying to steal our territory AGAIN. “cheaters, dirty, and pathetic”. Well, yes you are. As well as a lot of other nasty attributes. But you could try to reform. The first thing to do is to try to identify where you went wrong. I can help you there. It was in 1816.

@12 And your evidence is......? Or would that be too much trouble? Because no-one's told you what to say yet?
@14 Who's got the inflation rate of 25-30%? Who's got the sovereign credit rating of B? Who's got the power cuts and fuel shortages? Who's got all the strikes and industrial action? Who's got no money and has to rely on “credits”, i.e. handouts?
#13 You know the funny thing about slow sinking ships, those on board can't see it, only those out looking in can see her listing and the foundering waterline. Most of the troll's here are experiencing the “drowning man” phenononom, so do not get too close or they will take you down as well.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I give those trolls credit though, for such loyalty. More than I can say for Sussie who jumped ship.
@16 Please don't tempt fate!
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I like Sussie so much my only wish is that she get back on that ship before it is sunk.
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sussie and TTT on the same boat,
Aug 22nd, 2012 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0no help, no trade,
and a big hole in the side.
reply to them please.lol.
Sussie took a row boat the the USA......as she like to tell people. I think she tells everyone that so when you pisses on the USA she tells eveyone she has credibility because she lives there.

“It's as if this is considered legal protectionism when it is done by developed countries and populist protectionism when it is done by emerging countries.”
Aug 23rd, 2012 - 12:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly. Well said Queen Cristina =)
#1 I've always supported votes at 16. If you can work for your MP, marry and/or have sex with your MP, join the army to fight and kill and die for your MP, all of which a 16 year old can, why shouldn't you be able to vote for your MP?! Glad to see fellw Cristinistas agree with this progressive proposal =)

US, EU and WTO are a bunch of blood suckers, thieves and corrupt liars, let's all boycott this racist bastards, sons of dogs, I am really looking forward for the next school and mall shooting, and the next wave of mad cows. I tried to get a visa to visit but people can't travel they only want our jobs, food and minerals not our people, I say let. Send them non. Ban any US, EU and WTO produce from our land.
Aug 24th, 2012 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@25, actually of those named, only one was ever a british colony.
Aug 28th, 2012 - 10:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Liberia was an American protectorate set up to repatriate freed slaves and Rwanda was a German colony until WWI when Belgium took control of it.
Just a bit of fact-checking for ye :)
#27 Facts get in the way with these trolls. They prefer to call everyone racists,l bloodsuckers and every menial self contrived insult that they think is damaging.
Aug 28th, 2012 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Their real anger at a free market economy is that people are expected to work to maintain a life. That's not something in their creed. They expect business is suppose to take care of them and can't comprehend the “profit motive” concept.
Mexico lodged a complaint against argentina as well......a LATAM country.....oh my.
#26 You get a written reason why it was denied......criminal activity?
