Mar 23rd, 2013 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0So Timerman is now saying he's now a Christian and a Catholic. No wonder he was so eager to stab Israel in the back.
Gollum reminds me of the Vicar of Bray sir - something the trolls on here will have to look up, but with which the Falklanders and Brits are well aquainted.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pope Belgrano is a force for backwardness, its absolutely right he should be an Argentine.
I met Timmerman a few years ago and he made my skin crawl. He is also plainly stupid and very arrogant.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 12:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not heard Mr Pope make any public announcements on the Falklands yet, despite being asked to do so by his president. Her time is running out and her patience is wearing thin, she won't wait long for him to say something. More comedy to come.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 12:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shan't be loosing any sleep over this story; more Timmerman garbage, and showing up the Argentine regime for what it is - a slimy, double-faced, corrupt and not to be trusted bunch! Let's leave the Argentines to their own in-fighting - they are exceptionally good at it.

Is it the spilling of many beans about the truth of how f**ked up Argentina is by a man who now leads millions of catholics and had many 'run ins' with the present RG Government, could be interesting, or there again, no surprises and not at all interesting.

It is now a very highly developed nation in humanity. I do not comprehend this compulsion for dishonesty by the British people my child. Are you ever capable as a people of truthfulness?
I will troll for you.
A Jewish catholic... More incense my boy, only 40 pesos a shot! Bet Belgrano is over the moon with new pals like Gollum and the reformed Botox Queen! Not pals because of any religious affiliation, no doubt just cosying up to popery to see what they can get out of it. #1 on agenda, get grubby little Rg mitts on those mythical Malvinas (and all that oil and gas of course) at last.

Oh Nostrils your new favourite toy is the HDI of Argentina.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly, its built on Argentina's false statistics. Do we wish to discuss those? Dent think so.
Secondly try and look at what happens to Argentina on the Inequality Adjusted HDI. Do we wanna discuss Argentineans inequality? Yeah didn't think so either.
Nice to see how high the 'Anglo' countries rate - especially mine in BOTH! You are the gift that keeps on giving.

Foolish child,
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those were simple questions
Ask your parents and/or grandparents about the 70s and 80s and then post their reply.
BTW the Austral to Peso conversion was 10,000/1 you're far from that for awhile but not if CFK keeps printing. It only took them 6 years to ruin the Austral.
Maybe they'll come out with a Super Austral next.

Mar 23rd, 2013 - 02:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh my child, I do know that the weakest form of argument is to discredit the opponent “statistics”.
My child, Argentina was in the same location in HDI even before any “number” debate could be lodged. Are you know saying the numbers have been falsified for 40 years?
Your hatred of Argentina is eating away your frontal cortex my child.

Oh you mean like the Falkland Islanders!!
Its clear some on the right are trying to make Francis to Latin America what John Paul II was to Eastern Europe; the difference of course is that while the Soviet bloc was authoritarian and falling behind, the Latin AMerican left is democraticly elected and surging forward, and it will take more than a Pope, god willing, to change that...
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 04:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#22 Surging forward ? Could that be into the abyss ?

Hahaha! Latam democracy = doshing out wholesale bribes to poor voters to get votes, that's not democracy that's bribery. Latams wouldn't know democracy if it hit them round the face like a wet kipper.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 05:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for surging forward, 30% inflation, price controls, fast depreciating peso, crime ridden streets, international pariah, cut off by IMF, aircraft and ships in danger of being impounded abroad, sounds like surging forward like Thelma and Louise actually. The abyss is waiting....
@11 You need to search for my explanation of your “illness”. It may help you to understand, temporarily, why your state is not a “nation”. Notably, your state is not part of “humanity”. There are differences between “you” and humanity. As an example, you should examine the pictures in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblin Do you recognise yourself? But it is important to differentiate between the description and images and “gobbling”. An activity popular with many male argies with their male friends.
Mar 23rd, 2013 - 05:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@14 At last! You will, of course, be taking up arms to ensure that those who “refuse and will refuse for eternity to adopt your personal or national values and philosophies” are left in peace without interference. And that you have enough guts to ensure that “others live as they so wish.” There is such a thing as tacit approval. If you don't fight against a dictator, because “it doesn't matter to you”, then you approve the dictator. Much like the Germans and Hitler. “We didn't agree with that”. Okay, but what did you DO? Nothing. Guilty.
@18 Do you think the phrase “my child” gives you some sort of credibility? I think we can agree that you are a “credible” prick. “Incredibly” prickish. Or possibly a fart. How long do others remain in the same enclosed space with you? 30 seconds? 10 seconds. Do they upchuck when they see you?
@22 If you see moving from one state to another as “progress”, you are no doubt right. Much like moving from “stable” water to “steam”. Insubstantial and largely useless. Until put to use by intelligence. Sadly lacking in argieland. And the SNP. Do you think it would be useful to be able to spell “democratically”? How about thousands of pages of evidence from Alex demonstrating why Scotland won't be a basket case? Not that we English care. Argieland starves to death. Scotland starves to death. Who cares? Not us. On the one hand, we lose an incompetent enemy. On the other, we “lose” an incompetent. It's just “win-win”.

Do we have a direct line to Queen Victoria telling you to go forth and reclaim the ENGLISH empire again with your English army, Navy and Air force. Are you sure that you are not in the pay of Alec Salmond to raise the YES vote. If you are the typical English man then God help the rest of your country. You won't have a friend anywhere - not even Canada, Oz or NZ.
You are a mirror image of Nos. A pretension of moral superiority with nothing to back it up apart from your own bitter prejudices.

For the fact that he will refuse to indorse CFK and her inglorious empire building,
The CFK government will revert back to its old ways and try to embarrass the pope or ruin him,
Why not , she does to everybody else that disagrees with her,
And the pope is no different in her eyes,
You either agree with her,
Or she refuses to even acknowledges that you exist..

Also a lot of anti-Catholic bigotry on display, for one thing I don't think indulgences have been on sale for centuries!

Even peronists in Argentina(ever been there to ask a REAL Argentine bk?) think he's an embarrassment to Argentine's and that's bad.

Whomever wrote that report doesn't like kretina.....lol. It sounds like the line of complaints I hear from my Argentine friends. Perhaps the writer is Argentine. When you buy something there, you get charged the sales tax, but few give you a register receipt so they do not have to report the sale and pocket the tax collected. If you ask for a receipt, they get all bent out of shape.

The Pope made CFK crawl on her belly and beg for forgiveness.... and then said no anyway.
Moments later there was a lethal mud-slide in Argentina killing 14 people... but then they realized it was CFKs makeup running and Now TImmerman is blaming it on a foul British plot to undermine her.
A British spokesman said “There's no mine big enough to get under all that makeup!”
And the upturned Santa Fe would make an excellent South American office (like Queen Mary in Hong Kong harbour) for Universal Exports ... aka MI6. Damn it, I should be in the film business!

b) You cannot feasibly call something bigotry if you don't know perfectly if indulgences are or aren't currently on sale. For pretty much the entire life of the catholic polytheistic church, they have been selling indulgences so without a reason for them to stop selling them, why would they stop?
Just so you're aware of your illogical babble.
