    Given the current foreign threat posed to Argentina by the likes of the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the others, as well as the United States, Canada, and by our neighbors Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and China, and India, and some African nations, and Australia and other Anglo nations aligned with the UK and enemies of Argentina, these documents should not be made public.

    We cannot given anything to foreigners that can be a tactical advantage.

    No worries titti boi. They are not listening to you, they have never listened to you and they never will listen to you. SO go back home and suck some milk from momma or stick your head back up your ass where you feel safer. The world is a scary place for children.

    “The truth is...“
    once an arg minister begins a sentence with these words, one can be sure: ”...the lie begins”.

    @1 Get real, you dumbass. No-one needs a “tactical advantage” over argieland. On its knees, one hand tied behind its back and blindfolded, the UK, alone, could grind argieland into the dirt and jump on your head in less than a year. That includes travelling time and weekends off for the UK forces. However, you seem to have a lot of “enemies”. I thought the whole world was on argieland's side!

    *** -MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT- ***

    After much deliberation, reflection, and personal musing, during which I oscillated between stout and resolute conviction and ambivalent pangs of conscience, I have summarily decided to be magnanimous to all of you present here in this website.

    As some of you may be aware, long ago I determined the most cogent action would be to stoop down to the noetic capacity of the members of this community. At the time, upon first arriving here, I wished to profer a higher more sofisticated level of intellectual discourse, creating a symposium unlike any on the world web. Unfortunately my efforts were marred by the lack of civility and public pulchritude by most posters that engage here. Thus I felt the best way to “reach” you was to pretend my education level was that of a fourth grader experiencing precocious puberty. That is the best way to describe how ost here engage their opponents (me) and comport themselves in more general terms.

    I have now decided to e the greater man and essay a SWITCH BACK to that more educated, cerebral, and enlightened colloquy which was underway here in days of yore.

    You are all welcome to engage with me in this 2nd attempt in a globally cosmopolitan experiment.

    It is your choice, the nasty me, or the reasonable me.

    If you choose to engage the reasonable me, you can find me from now on in the new Mercopress en Español...

    The Troll shall remain in the English language section.

    Your choice, my monolingual fiends.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Whatever appeals to your vanity. Nobody really cares.
    When you sort out your brain and obvious personality disorders, let us know. Until then, keep on posting in your peculiar version of the English language. Highly amusing.

    Go have fun in the Spanish section Nostrils. You seem quite pleased that you have finally found it even though I was in there on the weekend reading the articles without a single comment posted by anyone.

    However it is not NEW! As you will see, Mercopress has posted articles in Spanish before http://es.mercopress.com/archivo

    Head on over and all you Argentineans can sit around and pat yourselves on the back without anyone interference. I for one will continue to reply to your true personality on the English version.

    But congratulations! You are the only person that has admitted that you exist solely on here to troll.

    While you're over in the Spanish section, you might see if you can teach your Defence Minister some simple arithmetic.

    “From a total of 36 minutes, 13 represents more than a third”

    13 x 3 = 39

    Yeah, I go and do weird stuff like, breath fresh air at the park, or go eat pizza and beer with friends. I'm not here 24/7 investigating every solitary nook as you do.

    It seems you are quite upset that you will have no power to influence the debate in the other Mercopress.

    Well, I had a look at the site in Spanish looking for “lively debate ” from Spanish speakers. All I could find was a few of your monologues with nobody else saying a thing. Surely Think, Marcos, Dany et al would have welcomed this chance to widen the “debates” to their fellow countrymen...if they have a country. It appears that the average Latam has no interest in this site. So, I suppose that the Spanish speakers on here ARE just trolls.

    Nostrils

    Well today I breathed fresh air in a park (Carlton Gardens). And then also ate pizza and drank beer (Asian Beer Cafe) with some uni friends to celebrate our final exam and end of semester.

    And I didn't feel weird about it at all. I guess I just do normal things like that.

    But thanks for admitting that I influence debate on this site.

    Pretty amazing that I manage to project an impression of being here “24/7 investigating every solitary nook” and still manage to work a 35 hour week, attend uni lectures and studios and I even moved house a fortnight ago.

    How are your monologues going on the mirror site? Not exactly debates are they. Make sure you wear socks when they start. Your Spanish is, however, much less pompous than your English. Was quite refreshing.

    It's alright repoll. Nostrils couldn't give up the English version of this site even if he wanted to.

    It's why his autarkic vision of Argentina will never transpire. The average Argentinean couldn't give up their luxury imports either... or their not so luxurious imports actually.

    Nostrils is ours!

    I am surprised that the “Defence Minister” aka the Boy Scout Leader didn’t say that the documents blame the British and Lady Thatcher in particular for the problems of Argentina.

    Perhaps when he has had time to “order” the documents he will “find” it.

    It must be a particular skill of the argies to “order” the documents, perhaps a “quick march” may be appropriate.

    You really couldn’t make this shit up.

    You possess more knowledge about Argentina than you do Spanish, @24.

    To give you an analogy that fits the above to your individual circumstances, it's like when a louse thinks of a flea as “giant”.
