Disclaimer & comment rulesGood, we should be able to keep a close eye on them here and right under their nose. Obviously the story of the Trojan horse never got taught in Argentine history, too full of bogus claims to fictitious lands and people who never existed.

Dec 19th, 2012 - 08:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0surely chile would have been a more stable place to situate such technology than argentina, how long before it becomes nationalized?

Dec 19th, 2012 - 12:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I doubt it have any real commercial value, but I agree that Chile would have been the more stable option. IIRC ESA already have a huge observatory in Atacama.
Yes Chile would have been a far better location, they will get dreadful interference from Timmermans ears where it is.

Dec 19th, 2012 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And can she claim sovereignty over it,, and everything it finds.
.We are surprised argie bloggers aint here claiming militarising of argentina
All this so Maximo could get SKY Sport.
Dec 19th, 2012 - 02:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 - to be fair, its only in the past two years that CFK has become visibly unstable and fully engaged in ruining her country, so with planning and construction already underway, it would have been difficult to stop at that point.
Dec 19th, 2012 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Breaking news....Argentina instrumental in selling sensitive satelite information to russia and Iran through fellow dictators venezuela......
Dec 19th, 2012 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0not such a clever move by the ESA, when Stable secure Falklands is in the same area.
Hey Maximo! How's the reception on the Disney Channel?
Dec 19th, 2012 - 03:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The 10 nugatory ramblings above are lucent and perturbing evidence of the UK education system at work, and more generally of the precipitous decline of the UK.
Dec 19th, 2012 - 03:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Here we have apparently EIGHT (8) full-bodied adult individuals, who not only attest for the incompetence of the British education system through their witless hyperbole, but also demonstrate with eloquence their otiose standing in society.
Instead of pursuing with plenary faculties their professions or métiers, edifying their moral core with spiritual learning, or use this time to improve (or ameliorate) their personal level of instruction, culture, or general knowledge; the fritter away precious minutes and hours by caterwauling andredacting vain claptrap that within 3 minutes of posting loses all effervescence, if it ever had any.
This is empirical evidence with real subjects, not the apocryphal agitprop that portrays the British as schooled and culturally refined people of acumen and savoir-faire.
The above is the real British: boorish, stupid, jaundiced, grudgeful, and worldly unenlightened.
Is that wise? It looks like an expensive bit of kit. Haven't they been paying attention. I'd be concerned the Argie oligarchy might suddenly decide it belongs to them, like the other stuff they've stolen, or attempted to steal.

Translation:
“I'm not a rustic gaucho! Look, I'm erudite, I can even use my english thesaurus. Please respect me”.
A brainwashed über-nationalist inadequate upstart with an obvious inferiority complex who's learned to use a dictionary, is still a brainwashed über-nationalist inadequate upstart with an inferiority complex. It's quite sad really.
@15 words that is all trolls have, no matter how many dictionary websites they visit, somehow their search for what they see as intelligent words on the internet does not change the fact their comments are baseless!

Dec 19th, 2012 - 04:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My 8 month old boy spouts out more sincere and well meaning tosh than you do.
For all of what you said and you probably spent a very long time working out; you actually said very little.
When I walk through the door after a day at work and my son's face lights up, he smiles, holds out his hands and starts screaming “dadadadadadadadada....” I understand completely what he is getting at and what he wants. Unlike your gabble of gyberish which means very little and really had little or no point to it... A poor attempt at a poorly thought out insult, that wasn't really insulting at all; more an embarrassment for yourself.
By TTT got what he craves. Attention. Ignoring a narcissist is the worst thing you can do.
Dec 19th, 2012 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 013... Toby has got a Thesaurus for an early Xmas present. he wonders if he looks up three or four different words meaning the same then list quote them in line it will make him look educated...epic fail Jajajajajajaja
Dec 19th, 2012 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@21 Tobias is just a language leech who is here to try out some new words he learned in his language lessons. Fair play to him insofar as he has to get a job, and all good jobs involve speaking english. The quickest way to learn a language is to go trolling on a site like this.
Dec 19th, 2012 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I still doubt whether he agrees with half the crepe he types though. He just wants to stimulate the conversation to allow him to use new phrases.
Language leech is gonna leech.
@22 anybody can do what insecure nostril is doing, write a comment change some of the words for more fancy words found on the internet in his attempt to big himself up,
Dec 19th, 2012 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the question is, is he sad enough to carry it on, knowing that his game was up long before he knew it, or will he continue to amuse us with his latest internet knowledge.
i believe hes using big words to compensate for other physical short comings, most likely sexual, his overuse of long words seems to point at the feelings of inferiority in the bedroom and the lack of performance with the opposite sex with repeatative bouts of denial and the lust for power, he probably stares at farm animals, he needs to seek a doctors help, maybe this will help him.

even with nostril and his big uncommon words, does not change the fact The Falklands remains a British Overseas Territory, but theres no harm trying, i suppose.
SELF-DETERMINATION!
@13 nice one nostril anus.........knob keep reading your thesaurus and keep the tissues handy, you don't want an accident do you?

Would they know how to operate it if they nationalised it? YPF haven't exactly blossomed since nationalisation.
Shed-time: The actual term would be psuedo-intellectual. Someone who pretends to be intelligent, one of the easiest ways to be a mighty forum warrior is to grab a thesaurus and try to sound smart by forcing words and concepts into your vocabulary that wouldn't otherwise be there.
Dec 21st, 2012 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Another way to pretend to be a mighty forum warrior is to constantly tell people how beneath you they are, and how you are a titan of intellectual capabilities.
Mighty forum warriors often like to tell you about there IQ levels too.
I see Nostro doing both, constantly.
good news, Europe comes to Argentina, wouldn't expect that from reading the ramblings of the haters =) Imagine if the aliens get in touch with Earth through this station and ask “take us to your leader” and its Cristina they see; they'll end up looking more kindly on humanity than maybe we deserve, if judged by what most of the other leaders are like =)
