Mar 15th, 2014 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does Argentina still have any boats afloat?
Mar 15th, 2014 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Or is it just the Navy that struggles to get out of port without tipping belly up and sinking down into the murk?

Mar 15th, 2014 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you cannot differentiate between a fishing boat and a military boat, can you?
not a surprise though

Mar 15th, 2014 - 03:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes I can thank you.
That is why I said 'any' boats. Any boats at all. Even a kayak. ..
and
'Or is it JUST the navy...'
It was a lighthearted comment on the general standards of Argentine seamanship proficiency, or rather the lack thereof.
Try re-reading very SLOWLY and CAREFULLY.
You really can't differentiate between the subtle nuances of the English language, can you Pablito?

Too bad we can't actually buy any decent seafood here...of course we don't need anything that is a good for us. Like seafood, blueberries, cranberries, fresh fruit and vegetables...potatoes with no worms in them, firm GREEN broccoli and etc....
Mar 15th, 2014 - 05:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can't buy seafood in Argentina? My God I didn't realise it had got so bad so fast!
Mar 15th, 2014 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can confirm that the vegetables obtainable in BsAs are crap.
Mar 15th, 2014 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My Argentinean neighbour and his family have just been over for a few weeks and his lovely 91 YO mother is always bemoaning the lack of decent fresh food and really loves to go to the markets while she is here.
They are resigned to yet another round of trouble and this time they think their businesses will really suffer.
Lovely people led by self-centred, corrupt, cunts the same as Uruguay, Venezuela, etc., etc.
No seafood in Argentina? How can that be?
Mar 15th, 2014 - 07:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They have a huge coastline, and surely a well-developed fishing industry, don't they?
Fruit and veg.?
Is ALL the arable land turned over to soy factory farms?
“there will be an Argentine pavilion in Boston and at least nine Argentine fishing and processing companies will be attending the show”.....
Mar 15th, 2014 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the hell for ? do the Argies actually WANT to do business with the USA, Europe ?? or are they hoping to hook a few suckers from Africa ??
The funny thing is that many Trolls have expressed their desire that Argentina should isolate itself from the big satanic world - that just wants to screw them - and be self-sufficient....what happened to that ?? OOOH, just hot air, as usual..
'isolate'...?
Mar 15th, 2014 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only a few have place such comment...
The facts is that countries such as the UK and many other countries maintain diplomatic relations with Argentina means foreign countries are desperate to do business in argieland.
10. When I was living in BA I was craving lobster. I went to every seafood place I could find in Recoleta, Retiro and even all the way down to Puerto Madero and not one restaurant served lobster. Not one.

you can't buy any of that in canada?
sorry for you.
so funny these ignorants isleños who have never seen a vegetable, a plant or a tree in their lives, opine about the quality of argentinian vegetables.
of course, we not only have the best meat in the world, but also the best vegetables, fish and seafood of south america.
the fact that a friend of an ignorant isleño doesn´t know where to buy them here is another issue.
where do you get your fresh food in the islets?
from a ship?

desperate??
really? I think not! All first world countries have the choice of doing business with anyone they damn well please.
This is because they are not beholden by billion USD debt.
The UK/EEC etc doesen't 'need' Argentina any more than it 'needs' a hole in the head!
They already have food supplies in order. No beef? No Soy? They have multiple arrangements with more reliable countries.
Argentina desperately needs help.
Why else is Crass-tina going to the Paris Club begging?
@14
Nice to see you struggling to make any point what so ever.
You must be the only Argentine fish wriggling on the hook that Mendoza Canadian has ever seen!
I'm sure the Falkland Islanders can catch plenty of fresh fish whenever they want.
Except for Defense (which would be unecessary without Argetine aggression), the Falklands are self-sufficient.
Paul, you need to accept you have lost the arguement, grow up, and get on with your life.
Maybe get a job in the oil/gas industry?
I hear they are hiring in the South Atlantic?
But you need to apply through the London Recruitment Agencies.
I have many friends in this field. Do you need me to 'put a word in, ?
I'd be happy to put you forward for some Mine-Clearance, work!
LOL! Sad little Argies, Always the Divas. Seriously lacking in Balls!

even your fish are contaminated with that joke of an oil well.
an oil well that no petrol company is interested in.

Mar 16th, 2014 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's touching that you feel compelled to defend your “professor”, Axel, but you really are hopeless at it.
Everything you have written about us or accused us of, is based on very outdated stereotypes and indoctrination.
I assume you are still in school and living at home with no responsibilities yet.
It's obvious that none of your statements are based on life experience, personal enlightenment or travel - you just spout dogma.
It's understandable, but on spite of what other posters have shown you, you reject anything that conflicts with your limited world view.
Your posts are irrelevant, if not outrageously amusing.
Nobody listens to you, anymore.
Come back when you're older and have a job and a family to support on that money. Tell us how satisfied you are with the government handling your finances and social services.
Mum and Dad let you drive yet? You know, fuel prices are going to skyrocket, even though you 're sitting on a fortune in fossil fuels. Why's that do you think??

so, old and failed.... it is understandable why you are so bitter and resentful.
the good thing is that it is not going to last too much more.

btw, you two make a beautiful couple.
@ 16
Mar 16th, 2014 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, if you say that argieland is 'desperate' for the extra buck why the UK diplomatic personnel remains in Bs.As?
See, the UK established diplomatic relations with a country that killed hundred of british soldiers.., the UK keeps saying argieland is financially broke without any hope of improvement...would YOU keep a relationship with a person that killed one you love and give financial help?
The USA Congress have invited Pope Francis to the USA,...
is the USA 'desperate'
to get support from a non-politician to delay the 17 trillons dollars still UNPAID.
See, YOU simply don't make any sense.
Sussie@12....“only a few have place such comment”... ...perhaps you are right...but as most of you Trolls bind together blindly, it seemed reasonable to presume you all shared the same biased opinions.
Mar 16th, 2014 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And your belief that “countries such as the UK and many other countries maintain diplomatic relations with Argentina means foreign countries are desperate to do business in argieland” is so much bull, it isn't funny...well perhaps it is. IF the 'foreign' countries were all so desperate to do business in Argieland, then why don't they ?? Because it is the other way round : Argentina is desperate to do business with the 'foreign' countries, but these are not very interested.
Can someone hog tie sussie and drag her back onto the Reservation please?

not by chance argentina is the granero del mundo.
anyway, the best asset of argentina, putting aside the immense quantity of shale oil and gas, premium meat, soy, wheat, etc, etc, etc, are the huge sources of fresh water.
i can already see, in 5 / 10 years, the uk and all kind of 3rd class colony claiming that those big glaciers, enormous lakes and other sources of meltwater are of them.
Paul, This is your immediate future.
Mar 17th, 2014 - 12:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Alvaro Villarueda starts his morning the same way every day — putting in a call to his friend who has a friend who works at a Caracas, Venezuela, supermarket.
Today, he's looking for sugar, and he's asking his friend if he knows if any shipments have arrived. As he talks on the phone, his wife Lisbeth Nello, is in the kitchen.
There are 10 mouths to feed every day in this family — five of them children. The two youngest are still in diapers.
“The things that are the scarcest are actually what we need the most,” Nello says. “Flour, cooking oil, butter, milk, diapers. I spent last week hunting for diapers everywhere. The situation is really tough for basic goods.”

agree that this government, more or less like the venezuelan, is doing a complete mess here.
but i hope we (not the govt) can avoid to reach the situation that venezuela is living.
in the end, both countries are completely different, and so their economies.
i guess inflantion rate will decrease because of a “enfriamiento de la economía”.
it will be as bad as a high inflation rate, but anyway...
right now the situation in several industries (construction, metalworking, automotive, etc) is of total uncertainty.
this imbeciles generated a new “bicicleta financiera”, so, who the f*ck is going to put their pesos or dollars in a building, for instance.
at least the soybean harvest reached a new record.
let´s see what happens with all that money.
48. Just like Venezuela has mismanaged their huge oil wealth Argentina is mismanaging the Farm wealth. If things don't radically change Farming will be unprofitable next year.

Remember when YOU laughed at the electricity shortage in Bs. As.?...
Same thing is happens in the usa east states, these states are all buried in snow....no flight, no school, no goverment business.
No fruits or vegetables...this year!
Most states, cities and counties are planning to increase property taxes just to keep the police officers payroll, anything else, such as street repairs, removal of grafitti, school building repairs, etc.etc. have to wait....
My guess is that with all the quartely tax revenues these states, counties and cities collects is not sufficient to keep managing the sluggish economy and more cities filing bankruptcy are crying wolf..
Salvese quien pueda!
At some point Argentina is going to have to learn to play nice.
Mar 17th, 2014 - 06:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Several of the country’s 30 biofuel plants are operating at a very low capacity. We will not be able to export any biofuel to the European Union that, at some times, accounted for up to 90 percent of all our biofuel exports.”
On top of the EU’s imposition of a 24.6 percent tariff on Argentina’s biofuel announced in November is a 6.5 percent duty resulting from Argentina’s having been left out of the General Preferential Tariff (GPT) system whereby its biofuel was duty-free, something that resulted in a total levy of 31 percent which leaves it “out of the market.”
CARBIO estimates that Argentine biodiesel exports could shrink nearly 40 percent as a consequence of the EU’s decision that Argentina is challenging before the World Trade Organization (WTO), a process which Castro said may mean being in conflict this year and next.
