    Business as usual then, graft, corruption, 'jacking the judges, ruining the country, etc., etc.

    Hope they get the default this coming year because this is getting boring.

    We chose to tell Europe and North America to fuck off, nobody wants you here. Glad we did.

    And the opposition acted like children...turning their backs of Cobos and calling him a “traitor”. http://www.mdzol.com/nota/504552-al-grito-de-cobos-sos-un-traidor-juro-cleto-en-diputados/

    @5
    No mate, you just voted for more of the same.
    More wasting money.
    More ignoring Merosur.
    More lies.
    More protests.
    More strikes.

    As I said, fill your boots Argentina.

    @ 3 Wartonhisweenie

    You really can't read can you? Oh, sorry, you went to what passes as a school in The Dark Country and can’t quite grasp the fact that if I am 67 my mother couldn’t be 68. But perhaps she could as you believe all the nonsense they “taught” you, didn’t you?

    Now seeing that you are about 20 and cannot take more than two cans of cat’s piss argie brewed “beer” (I still remember you trying it on with that girl from the coach party you went on ‘till she saw the wart on your weenie) I should leave it off so that you don’t sound like a girl when you giggle.

    You didn’t know that I knew that did you? I bet the small size of your weenie put her off as well but we will let that be our little secret: well only between us and the rest of MP.

    I bet your mom is pissed off with that Brit that knocked her up with you and then ran off when he saw what came out.

    Ha, ha, ha.

    TTT
    .... which of all the world's gods do you have on your side?
    Is one god better than the others?
    Is there a special god-of-football?

    Pretty demeaning stuff.

    Now tell me, TTT, do you REALLY believe in that mumbo jumbo?

    @9.

    You can believe god is on your side, doesn't mean god is on your side. Just like you believe the Falklands are yours, doesn't mean they are.

    Gotcha.

    So you are saying I'm responsible for my government's actions.

    So you are responsible for Iraq, and all that you did in the last four centuries. Thank you for resting my case for me.

    #9, 11: So, you really do see many eyeballs in the sky, TTT!
    ............
    TTT’s Polytheistic support for Argentinian football:

    Typically Bronze Age and Iron Age religions – but that won’t help the team.

    More recently, the ancient Egyptian and the Greek and Roman gods, Germanic paganism, Norse and Slavic mythology, Shintoism, Ásatrú, Chinese folk religion, Druidry, Taoism, Thelema, Wicca, and Candomble.

    Candomble? …Ah, I see where you’re going … chicken heads and sup-the-blood before kick-off!

    And Hinduism has lots of gods – with lots of arms
    … NOW I get it, TTT – you are short of a Hindu deity goal keeper.

    What's your problem with polytheism?

    I support ANYTHING Argentine, no matter how horrible it is. That's my duty, ALWAYS against anything foreign.

    It's okay TTP, I know you've always made it clear that you think we should be left to get on with things down here in the Falklands. It's just that you act like such a racist on all other matters that people on here assume you're a Malvinas supporter.

    I am not a racist, I just want nothing to do with Europeans. Lying, duplicitious, criminal people who think they are superior to me just by being born. Would you want anything to do with such creatures?

    I have also said that if they said “SORRY” for their 400 year-long crimes, that would really help matters. But they REFUSE, because of their stubborn, pathetic pride.

    No apology, no forgiveness for past crimes. End of story.

    And please don't bring the invasion of your country as equivalency of Argentina not saying sorry. Should we for a war of agression? Yes.

    That does not for a moment take away from the fact that EUROPE, 700 million of them, have not said sorry for crimes that they have had centuries to apologize for. And will Britain say sorry to the thousands of dead children in Iraq, a war of agression IT STARTED, and to top it off starte on ERRONEOUS INTEL?

    What a shock, that I take exception to Europeas telling me they are better than me, when I see zero evience to support that claim based on their abominable history, their dubious economic present, and their not so rosy future.
