You are all a bunch of fucking fools. You all claim to have travelled up and down Argentina (of course I believe none of you), and how shockingly poor it is. lol

What you don't realize is how pathetic, ridiculous and doltish fools you are writing such things. If you travelled up and down the country is because there was the infraestrucutre, the cities, the economic motive for you to do so. And the fact that it was safe enough for you to do so.

You fools have no precious clue what real poverty, lack of infraestructure, and insecurity and risk to oneself is don't you?

You spit on Argentina yet you yellows woudn't dare to travel through Central America, Venezuela, the Amazon, most of Africa and the middle east, big chunks of Asia, etc, etc.

You like creature conforts and some sense of safety... you played it safe and stuck to Argentina. I understand. You are like those ungrateful immigrants that bash the country that received them. Argentina this argie that... but none of you have the guts to go to really poor and unsafe place, so you bash us.

Your welcome for being exposed. :)

Yes, TTT,
I do feel unsafe in the favelas of Brasil, but it is not the fact that I have experienced them that enables me to comment on Argentina, it is the perspective gained from travelling and working around the world.

And B_K,
tourism remains strong in B.A. and Rio, but there is much more to these two countries than these two coastal tourist honey-pots.
Lula has spread the World Cup and Olympic football around this huge country of Brasil to afford visitors a wider view of the nation, but SO much needs to be done to make Brasil a tourist destination of choice.
