Feb 27th, 2014 - 03:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0argentina clearly picking and choosing what news to feed its peasants
Feb 27th, 2014 - 08:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Good news for who? The guys paying 100 a kilo for meat?
Feb 27th, 2014 - 08:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Or those actually PAYING their taxes having to stand the giveaways for these lazy bastards who never worked at school and have never had a job or will ever get a job while they are being paid to do nothing?
Feb 27th, 2014 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's the same in “No Money Pepe's” lala land of Uruguay.
I'm still curious. There's all those countries that support argieland. Says argieland. Now the FAO and World Bank says these nice things. Says argieland. Can't these countries and organisations speak for themselves? I reckon it's all argie lies. And the countries/organisations are simply saying to themselves that they can't be bothered. Quite right. We don't believe a word of it.
Feb 27th, 2014 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is the stand of Holligans!
Feb 27th, 2014 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Babacas!
When a pathological liar says “other people praise me”, it's laughable and sad at the same time.
Feb 27th, 2014 - 06:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is there anything selfless about taking 2 dollars for every 5 you steal as long as you give 3 to lazy illiterate criminals? Then preventing the working class from having access to resources they need to make the money that gets stolen anyway? I'm sure that's getting praised everywhere.
Brasileiro - if we are “babacas” just what are you? Keep your filthy slang away!
Feb 28th, 2014 - 06:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0They have a special scheme where widows who lack the competency to work can get high placed government jobs with millions of dollars in secret benefits paid into their Swiss bank accounts.
Feb 28th, 2014 - 01:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0EVERY SINGLE major newspaper in Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America have in the last 60 days come with absolutely abhorrent articles on Argentina. Saying the worst, most insulting, most humiliating of things?
Feb 28th, 2014 - 03:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why?
And also, its both newspapers of the LEFT AND THE RIGHT!
Why?
Coincidence?
No. IT is a global international conspiracy to destroy Argentina, that is what every single other nations wants, they want 40 million “vermin” DEAD.
It is a new holocaust of our time.
Why? Because everything they have said may, or course, be true!
Feb 28th, 2014 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But you contradict Argentina - have you noticed that Argentina also continuously claims that it is supported by the rest of the world in its nonsensical claim to sovereignty of the Falklands/Malvinas?
They can't have it both ways, can they?
Toby sounds really angry.
Feb 28th, 2014 - 06:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The gasolero lifestyle is now second nature to those who grew up knowing nothing but inflation and economic crisis. My generation lost economic mobility, having few chances to save money in pesos, few traveling options and a limited budget. But they remained creative and rolled with the inflation punches.

BTW Toby, I saw they are rationing Sugar now. I hope you took my advice. At least you'll be able to trade it for other food.
Now quoting from Aljazeera? hahahaha, yankeeboy sinking to ever new lows.
Feb 28th, 2014 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But thanks @11, 12, neither of you DENIED what I stated. There is indeed a global conspiracy to destroy us (will fail). The fact two extremists like you can't come to deny it confirms it is a fact. Cased closed.
Angry? lol, I am getting drunk on wine after wine. I apologize for not being here more lately, but its the Vendimia Festival, the world's largest wine celebration these two weeks, and there are literally dozens of wine tastings all over, festivals, concerts, international cuisine shows, and next week parades, shows, and fireworks.
As usual Mendoza not giving a ferk of the rest of Argentina and the world with their negative attitudes, always working, always progressing, and one time a year partying like crazy.
Now time to drink more wine, chau.
Toby, I posted that article for you, seems like it made you even more angry.
Feb 28th, 2014 - 10:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can you tell us what's the going rate for Sugar now?
Will 1 kilo get you a hotel room?
Good news for Cristinita (and the people), bad news for the haters =)

Mar 06th, 2014 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The report is excellent, although it is expectable that many of the detractors of kirchnerism will keep on considering most measures taken by c. f. k's government, like cheap populism, however, if they weren't so misserabe, they would realize that in a country like this one, where for more than 2 decades and a half, (1976-1983) neoliberal policies destroyed productive sectors, provoking high levels of unemployment and poverty, it's necesary to have a strong state which intervens on economy, otherwise there will always be signifficant sectors of the society who will be excluded of the sistem, especially in a casino economy like the actual one, where financial activities have much more relevancy than productive sectors. We all know that capitalism generates high social assimetries.
Despite some serious falencies of kirchnerism, i think it will leave a great legacy, nothing will be the same in the country, as it used to be before 2003, after c. f. k. leaves office in 2015. Although it's impossible to know who will be the winner of next presidential elections, i have no doubt that even if an ultra conservative party wins them, it won't be able to apply the neoliberal policies that they have always defended, because people have already empowered of all the achievements that we could get in the last ten years.
Despite the fact that we are still a very unequal society, something has changed drasticly in this decade, due to people's main concerning, had always been the lack of job opportunities, and since more than 6 years ago, it's insecurity, but i have no doubt either that everything we still need, can be made only with a economic model similar to this one, but not with the pathetic neoliberalism that many people in this forum love defending.

Mar 07th, 2014 - 01:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes indeed. “Something has changed drastically in this decade” ... we're out of several billion $
How much do you get paid to copy&paste this BS?
TARQUIN FIN.
Mar 08th, 2014 - 10:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If i were as misserable as you are, i would ask you also how much do you get paid to be a detractor of kirchnerism, but for being honest, although i can be wrong with some of my assertions, i'm not misserable, tha's why i don't think you get paid for being a detractor of c. f. k's government, you are just defending your ideas, which are as respectable as mine. Anyway, i understand that it's very difficult to talk to somebody so reactionary like you, who underestimates me just because i don't think like you.
