    The problem with Rgs is they believe in their inflated sense of self importance.
    It is their downfall every time they deal with a civilized country. They don't realize they are insignificant, are of no strategic importance and that no one cares if they cease to exist.
    Maybe someday they'll wake up
    I doubt it tho...

    ”the EU has been involved in different protectionist measures with the purpose of excluding from the European market the Argentine bio-diesel”.

    And the Argentines don't deploy protectionist measures?

    But the EU is the world's largest producer of bio-diesel. Why would we want any more? Surely argieland isn't suggesting that the EU buys argie bio-diesel because argieland needs the money?

    Why can't they sell it to someone else?

    Meanwhile as a common practice, Argiland has to ban some Spanish and British products (if you can find any of course) until the bio issue is resolved...

    Well to be honest the Spanish better exporting products seems to be Gallegos to Argentina and the British best exporting products are Mohameds to everywhere...

    Can that be banned arguing some kind of danger for health or contamination?

    May be applying to any law that prohibits the movement of species in extinction to South America?

    Ah! we have to think harder I think... bad luck....

    Dany, You have a fascination with Muslims. Why are you so racist? Were you raped by a gang of them?

    BTW you do realize the largest Mosque in South America is in Buenos Aires right? And San Luis province is chock full of Moros.

    @6 Typical “Dany”, nowadays...

    A jumbled anti- Britsh, anti-Muslim, racist rant, that's basicly incoherent.

    Don't like it Stevie?

    Sorry. When I see one of your compatriots mis-representing or denouncing articles and other posters with streams of self-serving ideological rhetoric, I'm going to call you on it.
    Whether you like it or not.

    Your own glib, smarmy comments on poignant social issues and systemic tyranny, are disgusting and morally reprehensible.

    Just my opinion...

    I was listening to a discussion on bio diesel fuel on the BBC overseas service and it appears that bio diesel is not the panacea to the extraction of hydrocarbons.
    It was said that the growing of crops to produce the fuel was having a detrimental effect on food production in developing countries and could lead to food shortages if it continued apace. Any way, it did nothing to help the reduction in global warming.

    Bio-fuel is NOT a panacea.
    It is just as polluting,uses energy to produce, creates shortages of food for those who can least afford it.

    Plants for fuel are not plants for food.

    CFK then EXPORTS the final product of farmed crops, and “DUMPS” it at a reduced price, on International markets, while complaining it is “not fair” they are being censured by the WTO.

    I think you are sickening too, and totally bereft of morals.
    But it makes no sense for me to keep telling you that, as you obviously don't agree and lack the capacity to understand what I mean...

    I don't care what you think of me, and your disgust for everything I hold dear will not convince me you are anything else than a sack of shit.

    Still, we can always share our meanings on matters that are relevant, no?
    That, or we can continue throwing pies at eachother.

    I'm fine either way...

    Thank you for saying that yanqui.
    Having you calling anyone disgusting is the best measurement any man can get on how good he is.
    I'm glad I upset you, anything else would be me doing something wrong, lacking mrals in the process.

    Again. Thank you.

    Please don't mince words with me.
    You call it “throwing pies” and “all that you hold dear”

    - I call it, “trampling on Human Rights, human dignity, liberty, and thievery at the expense of the people, and most of all, the poor - all to perpetuate your corrupt, tyrannical ideology.”

    I thought you said a Populist government was “for the people”, right?

    Good thing people like you are protecting Maduro's “Moral Authority”.

    If you aren't someone's stupid dupe, I can only think you are an evil callous sleazebag of the worst kind.

    What do you is happening to the people of VZ, their families and children?
    How about the murdering “Collectivos” on bikes, armed by the government?

    Just get out of South America.
    Just get out of the Middle East.

    Stop bombing children.
    Stop droning innocent.
    Stop interfering.
    Stop meddling.
    Stay home.
    Stop stealing.

    And you'll se that you can lack morals and dignity without anyone caring.

    Get out Europe you ungrateful little shit.

    Come on down to South America and actually live the socialist dream.
    Venezuela lovely right now. Corrupt cops, violent youths.
    Three hours queuing everyday at Mercal will put it all in perspective. Oh. Make sure you register for your ration card first, only takes a few weeks, and then only if you know the 'right' people on the 'left'.
    Don't forget that as an Expat/European you are a serious kidnapping risk.

    Come on down! Viva la revolucion! If you're so keen why not move there and fight for your beliefs!

    @6 Who's on-shift at the moment? Totally crap!
    @7 Dany was NOT raped by a gang of muslims. What she asked was whether 50 of them could keep up with her. Only 3 orifices and two hands. 250 an hour. And all FREE! Unfortunately, she couldn't match the 72 virgins promise.
    @14 Sorry, what would you know about “morals”? Is honesty “moral”? Then why don't you try it? Is law “moral”? Then why don't you comply with it? Is democracy “moral”? Why don't we ever hear a balanced uruguayan view? Do you actually have any intelligence? Or are you a semi-educated, brainless turd with delusions. Shown your comments to a number of people. “Turd” has it!
    @16 What do you have in common with a man? Stand on hind legs? Meerkats do that. Create? Ants do that. Sociability? Fleas are right there.
    @20 Talking to anyone in particular?
    Britain is not “in” South America.
    Britain goes where it's invited or needed. Nothing to do with a 5th world aborigine.

    “Stop bombing children”. Why? It's good practice.
    “Stop droning innocent”. Like you'd recognise “innocent”. You are guilty yourself!
    “Stop interfering”. Why? Leading member of the UN Security Council.
    “Stop meddling”. Why? So that you can?
    “Stay home”. What? The Falkland Islands are “home” to all Falkland Islanders. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are British. Therefore “home” to all Britons.
    “Stop stealing”. Hahahahahahahaha. From a homicidal, genocidal thief. Do explain why the major part of South America gibbers Spanish. A European language from thousands of miles away. Can you show us the documents where the indigenous people of South America voted to speak Spanish? Did you leave any alive?
    I'm kinda with ilsen. I can't think of anything bipedal that speaks Spanish in South America that deserves to live!

    just a lighthearted comment of a supportive nature!

    I enjoy it when you or yankeeboy destroy a trollish diatribe. But I don't always have time to contribute properly so I like to throw something into the mix for fun.

    Dany is mad because I pointed out his fortune in pesos is worth 1/2 of what is what last year at this time.
    I think he's hold out for 20/1 later in the year.
    He's just too stupid to realize he has the denominator wrong!
    I am pretty sure he thinks at 20/1 he's richer than at 11/1!

    Psst buy full tanks of propane
    I have a feeling they're going to get very expensive in peso terms very soon.
