    Terrible damage to BsAs, such a shame for the people there. I hope they get through it quickly.

    Its difficult not to feel for all folks impacted by natural disasters, and who suffer loss of life or damage to personal property.

    If this is what happens to BA when they have “showers”, what will it be like when they have “rain”?

    Sorry to disappoint you RG Trolls,

    That was an erroneous report about the NY Stock Exchange.

    @5 Do you know the difference between an ass, a mule and a donkey? However, I can do without your advice as I don't keep any livestock. Do you take your ass in the shower with you?

    Was it not an argie on the other blog,
    Who stated that by divine right Argentina was gods chosen child and nothing bad will ever happen....

    hahahahaha, @1... it's called “spring severe weather”. Last time I checked central Argentina lies in the mid-latitude region where the Jet Stream meets warm air from South America and cold air from Antarctica. In the spring, when the warm air travels south, when a cold front sweeps the pampas you can have severe weather, even an occasional tornado. NOTHING UNUSUAL.

    It happens every year.

    What happened this year in the UK with the floods and now Yankeeland getting a warming from the gods is not normal.

    REPENT, ANGLOS, REPENT!

    @14 Mikarita Yatemata aka “A Tatami Karma Yeti” (lovely anagram that)

    Mmm. A question: if the severe weather is nothing unusual how come it that has killed two of you citizens so far and you seem to think that is funny?

    If a Brit had posted that there would be troll outrage all the way to the UK.

    By the way, I am an atheist, I do not believe in lies of the desert and I most certainly have no need to repent, unlike yourself.

    For a people who have already suffered enough hardship this must really be a tragedy. Of course, my thoughts are with those who have already lost so much, and have to suffer more.

    “Why would you think I'm a La Campora Troll?”

    If that's how it appeared, my profound apologies.

    I was simply responding to your quote of the incorrect Troll post.

    I know you are not one of the benighted hater Trolls of CFK.

    I follow your posts with interest.

    ”getting a warming from the gods is not normal.
    I agree - it was bloody cold here today. As you have a direct line to the Almighty and are no doubt shortly to be deified, could you put a word in with your big mate to hurry up with global warming. A rise of about 5c would be fine. Thank you in anticipation.
    On deification can we expect you to take the name of a minor Inca or Mayan God ? That would be more in keeping than a Japanese or Chinese hypocoristic name.

    “Teasing”
    I think that it is more serious than that.
    He seems to have a personality disorder.

    Alteration in Perception
    A patient also experiences derealization as one of the symptoms of this disorder. Sometimes, they feel as if the things they are watching are not real.

    Any stressful situation may trigger altering of the personality of the person who is suffering from this disorder. The person then acts and behaves as if he/she is someone else.

    Seems to fit ?

    Or else could be a loquacious quidnunk.

    Collapses! What? Nonsence. Talked to friends there, no problem. Only in surrounding downtown area. A big tunnel near completion to keep this from repeating.
    Now NY, that's what you call collapsing

    Aren't you proud of La Campora when you read stuff from Sussie like this ?

    “@ clyde15

    Keep it up Sussie, it's obvious why you are the most loved troll by La Campora...

    I don't mind talking with people from Argentina, at all.

    However, Malvinistas and La Campora like Guzz and PH- ALEX VARGAS, have an agenda to spread mis-information and lies to promote CFK and to discredit the West.

    Pure propaganda and lies, and deserve to be treated as such. No respect. You profit at others' expense.

    “Says the parasite that is promoting the sacking of the “3rd world”...”

    Funny, that, coming from a lying propagandist, paid by a belligerent government that is robbing its own people and wants to try a second time to exterminate an island of 3,000 peaceful neighbours (includes women and children) and take their homes and their lands.

    I just think that it is stupid and childish to keep changing your names. We are supposed to think someone new is joining he discussion ?
    Why should I bother with any other language?
    You need to speak English in order to post your peculiar ideas on this forum.
    I just happen to be lucky in that anyone who needs to communicate with the rest of the world without learning their tongue, prefers and uses English.
    Your lot on here have had to learn English - some after a fashion - or else nobody would look at this site twice.

    They do it because that is all they can do. Militarily they are impotent. Politically, on the world stage, they are a joke.
    They seem to think that if they had the Falklands, then they would be in the promised land. The reality is that the Falklands have no high rise apartments or good restaurants or national airline and the population are poor. At least you would be spared a visit from Sussie. I wonder if any of the Arg. posters have spoken to their forces who were politely removed from the islands - would they like to settle there ?
    Because their pride was hurt and they were humiliated, (by their own actions), they shout and rant, it makes them feel important.
    I suppose, for them, it is better than working.
