Oct 08th, 2013 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I did not give any opinion!! So your conclusion is invalid.
Nothing personal.
I do not believe the IMF.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's not an opinion?
Pray tell, what does that pass for in Brazil?
GOSSIP?
No! There is not an opinion. I just made a statement about my feelings regarding the IMF.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And what happens in Brazil is not in your account, gossipy.
Oh! That's okay then you made a statement, based on what?
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this article about Brazil? a country which as it happens, I like. I blame Pele myself, your greatest ambassador, not just as a footballer, but as a respected respected person. Lovely man, best smile I ever saw!
Excuse me though, if I still choose to accept the IMF Statement over yours.
By the way, did I hear something on the news, that the UK's projected economic growth is suppose to be way, way, up there? Somewhere near the top!
Nothing to do with Brazil of course, but love to to rub the Argentine Anglophile faces in it, what with their persistent demonic, projections, nay, I should say hopes of our pending economic demise!

Oct 09th, 2013 - 03:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0If one was to read only this site then it would appear that the UK's only connection to America is the Malvinas. But the Malvinas lens gives the UK a distorted view of America which they will come to realize. It is for this reason that the UK will be returning the Malvinas to Argentina and America within the next 25 years.
Hepatia, Uruguay now owns the Spanish claims for the Falklands/Malvinas.

Oct 09th, 2013 - 08:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Returned, that implies you once had sovereignty, you never did, within 25 years. Pure fantasy.
IMF and such organizations still think they can decide what we have to do in our countries. We do it our way, soooooooooorry... and UK still stuck in second gear.
Oct 09th, 2013 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry Gonzo, you just missed the bus. We are in overdrive now. The world wants to buy our aero engines, our cars, our luxury cars, our diggers, our fashion, our tv output, our films, our premier football league, Formula One, our music our art, our software our computer games, our fish, our food and many many other things. People want to come and live here, its safe, its fun, its cultured its beautiful. All this while you rot in a totally bust crime ridden country with rubbish strewn streets and politicians that are robbing you all blind. Is all relative and I am afraid you are the poor ones.

It doesn't really matter which American country the Malvinas are returned to. The important thing is to get a Europen power out of America. So, if you prefer, the UK will be returning the Malvinas to Uruguay within 25 years.

Oct 10th, 2013 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some posters can't help but show their lack of intelligence.
Would pay Hepatia to look up the locations of countries/territories that are:
* British Overseas Territories
* Commonwealth Realms
* Commonwealth Members
I count the UK's Americas connections as:
* 8 BOTs
* 10 Commonwealth Realms
* 3 Commonwealth Members not included in the above.
Of the 35 sovereign states in the Americas, more than 1/3 belong to an organisation headed by Queen Elizabeth.
Only connection..... pfffft! Is she a product of the Argentine education system?
13. Your lack of history, politics and geography knowledge is astonishing, you should be embarrassed of your posts.
Oct 10th, 2013 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know. I'm still laughing!
Oct 10th, 2013 - 08:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fully 28% of all countries in the Americas that are sovereign and UN members share the same monarch as the UK!
28%!
“I don't think that the UK figures too much in American thinking. The European countries most important to America are Germany, France and Italy.”
Countries in the Americas sharing a head of state with:
Germany: 0%
France: 0%
Italy; 0%
UK: 28%
“the Malvinas lens gives the UK a distorted view of [the] America[s] which they will come to realize”

Oct 11th, 2013 - 02:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Teabagger?
Oct 11th, 2013 - 03:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Christ Hepatia we don't wanna know what you got up to down some lane way last night.
I love some people's English; especially blind ignorance of certain terms!
Blind ignorance of certain terms in English must still be better than blind ignorance in general though.
Oct 11th, 2013 - 06:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Or could it be it's not blind, but proud...
Hmmm good point!
Oct 11th, 2013 - 10:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0I've never actually wondered if Hepatia is just blindly ignorant or proudly ignorant.
I'd probably err on proudly.
See?

Oct 12th, 2013 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sounds like Argentina
If not for the meth/cocaine trade Argentina would already have a negative trade balance.
