Dec 27th, 2012 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0It has got to be hard to run an economy that is 100% dependent on good weather.
Bahahahaha
Checking out argieland's weather forecasts suggest that there will be around 100mm of rain in January. Bit too much methinks. Never mind. Does that mean even less crops?
Dec 27th, 2012 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is one of the only times where I consider bad a weather a good thing. We need this loony government to go out of business as soon as possible.
Dec 27th, 2012 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina should get onto the blower to the FI Ag. dept and pay them consultancy fees for some advice........

Dec 27th, 2012 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Planting: October through December.
Harvest: April through early June.
At what point do the farmers throw in the towel?
I wonder if they are worried their farm will be classified as “unproductive” and nationalized FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE?
A family member has a friend living in the USA. He told me this friend commented that he was shopping before Christmas and he heard a balloon pop... and people started running in PANIC!!! Apparently this happens now all the time across the USA, especially in malls, schools, universities, and movie theaters... even the most silly sound (like someone dropping a wood plank), sets off mass histeria.

And people call that civilization??? What a horrifying place to live, always with your heart at your throat. Maybe Somalians still feel at home there.
Ummm yeah so that post made no sense whatsoever.
Dec 28th, 2012 - 12:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Back to the rain and soggy soil?
Unless you have another family member who has a friend living in Argentina and they have told you that every time someone hears a balloon pop there people start running in PANIC and get covered in mud.
Yes....of course what a horrible place to live....words from the person who has never been there or anywhere out of Argentina and of course an absolutely a meaningless contribution of a post as usual.
Dec 29th, 2012 - 05:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why do you not add something to the fact that Argentina is now becoming an agrarian nation in order to finance it's infrastructure and how this weather will impact Argentina's means to acquire U$ that is so desperately needs, demonstrated by it's the outlawing possession of greenbacks? Or how the combination of this weather and the farmers strike for retaliatory expropriation will effect Argentina? Maybe your intellectually cunning use of words can tell us how Argentina has found a new method of sowing seeds in mud? Come on nostril, get that thesaurus moving.
I think I speak for every poster here that we all are waiting with bated breath for the great NOSTRIL to hurl a new volley of insults and of course the self praise of one's own intellect that always follows. Truly titti boi.....we are all waiting......don't fail us or deprive us all of another laugh on the great nostralldamus. We all look forward to your meaningless and laughable posts.....please, I know I can hardly wait. Please tell us....we waiting....at least I am waiting for my insult of diversion.
@7 Um, maybe your friend was panicky from running from immigration?
Dec 30th, 2012 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#4 It will take more than rain to dislodge government of the people, by the people, for the people, which is what Cristina represents...
Dec 31st, 2012 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I have told shed time and always told you, you need to be there to form a real, meaningful opinion. Your's is far from based on the reality of the people or what ACTUALLY goes on in Argentina. You experinced nothing, you know no one and the now know nothing but what you read. On top of that you are so blinded for you errection of CFK, that in you eyes she is perfect. As I said before, they failure of the people to hold a critical eye to their leaders was how hitler and the third reich started.
Dec 31st, 2012 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I love reading as many bloggers Islanders (probably all people do) want deep inside the wreck of the Argentina. We say we are clumsy, barbaric and backward .. certainly are. But you harbor the worst feelings are all RESENTFUL! Dan penalty ..

Jan 02nd, 2013 - 10:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Argentina wasn't so belligerent, we could accept them into the family of nations.
lt is precisely Argentina's attitude that cause us to wish ill for the country.
For myself, l would rejoice to see Argentina break up into many smaller nations.
You bring it all upon yourselves without any outside help.
Don't you wish that Argentina was as prosperous & respected as it was in 1900?
Ask yourself,“what happened? why”
lts all in your people's hands.
It gives me goosebumps BK, to see you quote an American Presidential speech dedicating a battlefield. A Republican no doubt.....lol
Jan 03rd, 2013 - 12:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0#14 Unfortunately for the moderate mind Argentine's, they are somewhat behind the 8 ball. Peronism has infected Argentina like a cancer. Also I am not so convinced as many Argentine's that the democracy there is on the up and up.
Lincoln was a real hero, Marx also admired him =)
Jan 04th, 2013 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can't imagine why.....he was the farthest thing from a marxist commie
Jan 04th, 2013 - 03:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because Marx was anti-slavery. And while Lincoln was no communist the Republicans were to the radical left of the racist Democrats at the time; American political history is a bit bizzare =)
Jan 04th, 2013 - 11:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would call it evolutionary, you want bizzare .....come down to Argentina
