Disclaimer & comment rulesA decade ago? Yeah right. So for the past 10 years Brazils security services have been doing what exactly?
Nov 05th, 2013 - 08:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'll tell you what they haven't been doing. They haven't been protecting Brazil against foreign countries spying on them, the government has probably had them spying on opposition members instead.
Here comes the hypocrisy.
All countries spy on each other. Some are just better at it, and put more resources into it than others.
I am very surprised by this, but it's more like counter-spying.
Nov 05th, 2013 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0All countries spy. They always have and they always will.

Your societies are depraved and debauched. Spying, pathetic.
Nov 05th, 2013 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina never spies. We tell eveyone everything in their FACE. That shows more respect than these silly games.
Funny you people don't realize this fact, that Argentina shows you more diginty of treatment even if we are telling you that you are horrible countries and horrible people, because at least we are honest an open with you.
Something your societies obviously do not value at all.

Argentina has not spied on anyone since 1988. FACT.
Nov 05th, 2013 - 03:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I say 1988 for a very specific reasons. Since none of you are argentines, or have ever even been to the country, you'll have to search it up.

Nov 05th, 2013 - 07:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0just googled but can not find any information that Argentina has not spied since 1988. I wonder why, could it be because spying is in itself secret.

Nov 05th, 2013 - 07:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Argentina never spies. We tell everyone everything in their FACE. That shows more respect than these silly games. ”
I'm not understanding this statement. Spying is “gathering” information. Speaking frankly, and upfront (telling it to their face), is “disseminating” information.
The first receives information, the second delivers information.
Can you explain the relation you are using between these two activities?
If there is no immediate relation between gathering info about other countries and, disseminating information to other countries,
I don't see how you can use a faulty comparision, to demonstrate that speaking straight shows more respect than the silly game of intelligience gathering.
Can you explain?
Countries and people compete, if your competitor knows a lot about you, you had better pay attention to him too or he WILL eat you for breakfast. Even where we work there are people, some of your co-workers, that consider you competition and they pay attention to what you do and try to hurt you to help themselves.
This is human behavior. It is not evil caucasian gringos that put this whole vicious cycle in to place.
East Germany had a communist, no competition, ideology and just about “everybody” was on the Stasi payroll, to spy on “everybody else”. If the DDR did it, a hyper-competitive, vicious capitalist place like the U.S. would do it even more, wouldn't they?
Are you sure Argentinians don't snoop? Can you name some other countries that are like Argentina and don't spy?
Brazil has now admitted it spied on people,
Nov 05th, 2013 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So now we wait,
Tomorrow Germany will say it spied on people,
by the weekend this will turn into a stampede, and they will all be queuing up to tell the world they have been spying on each other,
mmmmmmmm
confessions confessions lol.
Toby, TiT! You pretend you are in Mendoza, which you are not, and, you say we have never been? We know more about RGland than the lot of you, because we have all been there lots of times. I cycled from BA to Ushaia. You dont know about your Villas, the rubbish piles, bent police, Cartoneros, and you keep posting the most ridiculous things. Are you in an Asylum somewhere?
Nov 05th, 2013 - 10:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Titti boi tobi needs to be ostracized and ignored. He talks like a dickhead and has no clue about the people in Argentina and everything he says about the government the government does the complete opposite. You are the perfect idiot Brassie....I mean tobi.
Nov 06th, 2013 - 12:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0#15 He is probably in Europe like all the toads that argue for all the commie countries in SA. I think when it comes down to it, there are only two maybe three of them here posting from Europe.
