    Got over the low blood pressure then?

    Does this mean that she's going to pay Argentina's international debts? I mean, according to the glorious 'Dear Leader' Argentina has loads of dollars, enough to pay off all the debt with some left over for a rainy day.

    No, didn't think do.

    Borrowing money then refusing to pay it back is nothing more than plain theft.

    Pure and simple.

    Did she say she is going to bomb Muslims?. No
    Did she say she is going to theft oil from Iraq and kill Muslims? No
    Did she say she is going to kill thousands of Muslims in Libya? No
    Did she say she is going to arm Syrian terrorists? No
    Did she say she is going to bomb Palestine or Lebanon? No
    So why are the thugs up in arms? I mean there are more important things to focus on like paying a restructured debt, I am sure she said it, What's the beef?

    The guilty always criticize the law, bla bla,
    but in the end facts are facts, CFK will pay the debt, full stop,
    no one cares after that, the debt will be paid, and its goodnight from the them.

    meanwhile CFK can shout condem, and even act as the fairy to set an example to the rest of the world, [her comments]
    but the debt will be paid.

    I find it funny that a matchbox lawyer has been, quite possibly a never was, telling a foreign (to her) court that they do not know the law. One thing is certain, neither does asslips kirchner know ANY law if she thinks it is legal to borrow money and not pay it back. In any country, that is called theft.....plain and simple. Argentina borrowed it and signed a contract to pay it back. Consideration received and none given. Criminal.........but not in the land of oz where the great wizard hides behind her curtains and fools some of her people.

    I do like the bit where she accuses the international community of an anti-Argentine conspiracy.

    Frankly, beyond the fact that Argentina owes money, the international community couldn't care less about Argentina.

    How many times can the 'Dear Leader' play the 'victim' card?

    The average Argentine citizen must cringe every time she does it, because it shows the world the the Argentine government is weak, pathetic, corrupt and completely out of touch with reality.

    Of course you have them, because you have been stealing them off your own countrymen for god knows how long.

    I notice that she hasn't said when she is going to pay back what Argentina owes though.........

    ..because that person, in particular, is a bit nuts and couldnt organise a sensible counter argument if his life depended on it?

    ...also... its a fairly standard action practised on these boards, mostly, but not always, confined to Argentine supporters, that whenever you find yourself on a loosing topic, the best approach is to try to change the subject ASAP.

    Sorry, support your posts but TMBOA lives outside the rules of normal behaviour. It is almost as if she thrives on negative energy, sorry to get all sci fi on you, she just does not seem to behave within the normal rules of society (by the way, have you notice I say she instead of they) the rules you and I and others live by, do not seem to apply. We make the mistake of judging her by the rules of norm, our rules.
    To my mind there can only be one reason for this, LMF on the part of her people, lack of national pride. How great can a country be measured, if not by greatness of her people.
    On a personal note, commiserations on the loss of your fellow countrymen and women in the recent storm.

    #41 thanks for the condolense. We typically do not get storms this strong this far north. They ride up the coast and weaken in the cooler waters, but the water up in the northeast keeps getting warmer. When we get these storms they are usually in the winter and it's all snow. New Jersey was really hit harder than NYC......Mother Nature. ANother storm is on the way for mid next week.
    There is something culturally different in the Latin Americans. But I can't say they are all LMF, a good portion but not all. The one's that want their dignity returned are outnumbered by peronist. They just don't get the concept of hard work and self reliance. There is a good dose of lack of trust in corporations, developed nations and government. I can't blame with the history in the manner of which they have been lead, historically and currently. I am not very religious, but Jesus did say “ give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for life”. Kirchner wants to hand out fish to keep them dependent and herself a lifelong president.

    As soon as Chevron starts paying up we will also pay relax people there is a law that says do to others as they do to you, we all have to face the facts some times.
    “Ecuador has asked Argentina to seize up to $19.2bn of assets from Chevron in the latest twist in a long-running lawsuit over pollution in the Amazon rainforest.

    The oil giant will also have its bank accounts in Argentina seized and gas sales frozen, a judge has ruled.

    The 2011 ruling, one of the biggest of its kind in history, stated that 30,000 residents of Ecuador's Lago Agrio region had been harmed by the operations of Texaco, which Chevron bought in 2001.”
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/9646826/Argentina-told-to-seize-up-to-19.2bn-of-assets-from-Chevron.html

    What's important here is that Argentine Around the world support CFK 100% and we cheer her policy, we will love to see her run for reelection. Other than that ignore the foreigners when they start to go hungry they will think with their heads.
