3- Stop protectionism schemes to protect loses making Agri-business.
4- As any foreign investor we need certain warranties that any controversy over our investment will be resolved under Argentina or German or Italian law.
After that I guess we can start to talk about some kind of agreement we have a lot so pesos to invest in Spain and PiBigs countries like Britain.
I see that mixed “” Dany,Conqueror,Chris “” trio pull oar into the South America from Cape Town.

That only matters when you have no money and all the time you have to convince creditors that you can pay back debt to get more loans.
You sure in Britain know very well about that because you will prefer to don’t eat before loose the AAA rating that keep fantasy banking economy running for a while.
BTW have you moved your savings from any British, Spanish, Italian bank before financial collapse comes?

2 - As long as argieland funds employment opportunities.
3 - Only if the EU approves.
4 - No. The argie judicial system is corrupt. Disputes will be dealt with under EU law.
@5 Someone with a “junk” currency, a “junk” economy and a “junk” government has no room to comment on anyone else. Still, “junk” by name, “junk” by nature, eh?

Nov 17th, 2012 - 04:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0News from Bloomberg 16.11.12
'Argentina's bond yields are eclipsing those of Greece for the first time since the European nations debt restructuring in March as speculation increases the South American country will opt to default rather than settle with its so called hold out creditors.'
and from the Mayor of Buenos Aires via BA Herald 17.11.12
City mayor Mallricio Macri assured that, 'Investors are turning their backs on us because they don't trust Argentina and prefer to invest their money in the regional countries such as Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Columbia.'
The IMF Red card is also due on 17th December and INDEC is still telling lies about Argentine inflation figures.
Time is running out for the Banana Republic of Argentina and the Comedy Club of politicians in office.
lol, Pibigs. Cute try.

Argentina should really get together with Benin and Burkina Faso so that they can all celebrate sharing 100th place in the World's Index of Corrupt Nations.

Nov 17th, 2012 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I do think there's differences in governance-and passion, so they experience more dramatic highs (growth) and lows.
Maybe even shared epigenetic behavior reactions to a cyclical global turndown are at play.
Note that the English addition to Irish dna is tiny, the Irish have largely kept their Basque/Northern Iberian heritage, with traces of Celt.

The Iceland thing is too complex for me. They're half Irish (thrall slave wives), half Scandi & all cool.

You into Eugenics as well?
Now let me see.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_modal_haplotype
Great Britain includes England (as you know) and from further research we know that the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype is dominant in England much as it is in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It just happens to be even more dominant in Ireland than it is in the rest of the British Isles.
There is no such thing as 'English' DNA. Most of the English are the same as most of the Irish and they always have been. They just don't know it and would likely as not refuse to accept it.

The Irish just started adopting English in the 19th century.
Freedom.
British Isles have the largest evidence of Neanderthal DNA.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0red hair: this evidence is disputed but possible, since it is confirmed Neanderthals had a sizeable presence of red-hair and freckles, and recently it was confirmed they had the gene for red hair in their DNA (the dispute is whether this is the same as in modern humans, some scientist say yes, others say it is not the same)
skin that is incapable of tanning: this is VERY strong evidence... it is well known that the Germans, Eastern Europeans, and even the Scandinavians can tan well. Thus you see blond swedes or norwegians with swarthy skin from sun exposure, and they can keep their tan. This is clear evidence their ancestors are recent migrants to Scandinavia from the south.
This ability is not possible for most British, their skin simply turns a deep red and of course it is very painful. And after the redness fades the skin remains pale. This is direct evidence that their ancestors have had a much longer existence in colder climates, to the point of having lost in their DNA the need for skin color for vitamin D absorbtion.
bone structure: it is well known that many red-heads have very heavy bone structures, in their arms, legs, and face. It is also known by indisputable fossil evidence Neanderthals had extremely powerful and thick bones. This is thus far only circumstancial evidence, but some point to a link there. Scandinavians, Germans and most southern Europeans have much thinner bones for that lankier “homo sapiens” look.
It is also to note that “heavy” bone structures are more common in the Alps (central european), and in the fringes of Portugal and Spain. It has not been unnoticed that most scientist agree that Neanderthals for the most part were displaced by modern humans, and that their last Refugia were likely... they high alps, the fringes of the Iberian peninsula, and the British Isles.
You put the rest together.
“You put the rest together.”
Nov 19th, 2012 - 10:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Okay I'll have a go.
You are a eugenics enthusiast with a vivid and unhealthy imagination.
Eugenics?? I was just mentioning very common scientific debates. Eugenics is not science, it is pseudo-babble that suggest that there are “superior” and “inferior” genes.
Nov 20th, 2012 - 03:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I said nothing of the sort. You are brainwashed by the fact that throughout most of your life Neanderthals were considered brutes. It is now known that they had culture, they had burial rights (suggesting awareness of self and belief in existence of that self after death, also suggesting religion), they had literature (through recent discoveries of paintings that actually have “cliffhangers” that lead to other paitings in another part of the cave where the same story continues and the plot is advanced), and with recent fossil discoveries they had the same vocal tract shape, which was always thought Neanderthals had a different less evolved shape. That means they could make every single sound that we can.
They had bigger brains too by about 150cc.
Just because they went extinct does not mean they were inferior, they were just simply to specialized for cold weather, meat-eating diets, and their bodies just could not adapt to foraging for plants and their population plummeted when the weather began to warm and the mega-fauna was going exinct either through climate change or hunting by “modern” humans.

How many people have they banned yet Conqueror is allowed free reign in essence? And with the approval of the rest of you who so condemn the argie versions of “conqueror” for their acerbic vulgarity, yet are completely supportive of his BrUtish behavior. Go go.
Loosen up, Brits :0)
Nov 20th, 2012 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All we had was mitochondrial dna to go on before. Based on this, some internets said that the Ice Age N Atlanteans basically started the same. Some say there were two routes, the Balkan peninsula to England, the Iberian peninsula to Ireland.
But now: the Y chromosome. In that era, the men moved around, not so much the ladies, so it provides the window into the differences between England (speaks English), and Irish ( who spoke Gaelic until English domination in the 19th century).
The Y chromosome shows Brits are mixed with Norwegian/Germans, while the Irish & Basque share ALOT.
Two different styles, two awesome groups.
