Nah Hans, the maority of he Argentines shogreat behaviour towards Uruguay. I think 61 % is a low number though, having the port issues in mind. Mainly because there are no other alternatives.
May 02nd, 2014 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0A bit like asking what country that directly nighbours to Uruguay is the biggest.
Not Brazil's fault, really, is it?

Far from wanting a “discussion” of a new form of government, you were very obviously fishing for a condemnation of the royal Family as “tyrants”, by asking leading questions several times.
You are correct that I did start out by indulging you with a reasoned response, but your reaction was a patronising evasion of my conclusion and a reiteration of your questions, yet you offered no discussion or ideas of your own, just continuing to harp on the same theme.
You started out by labelling everyone on MP as “so-called free thinkers”', already judging their opinions as wrong or inadequate.
You were yourself, repeatedly evasive, refusing to enter any discussion or put forth ideas.
It was clear that the only answer you would accept to your repeated question was one that denounced the British Monarchy.
Far from promoting free debate, you were looking to bash the Monarchy for reasons known only to you.

May 05th, 2014 - 03:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0if you need to stay in recoleta, you have the algodón mansión, the alvear palace or the plaza hotel at u$s 300 / 380 per night, pretty expensive for argentinian standards, or the plaza francia, etoile, etc at a range of u$s 90.
all of them are well located.
anyway, i would try with a smaller hotel in palermo like the bys hotel (u$s 70) or in san isidro (s.i. maybe is a bit far from downtown for you) like the hotel del casco or the san isidro plaza (u$s 170)
TY Paul......guess what, fairly expensive for American (at least this one) standards as well. Most of us don't live with gold laced toilets......lol. I am stay with family.....but thank you just the same.

hope you enjoy your stay.
the colón is open now, guess you can check their agenda in their website.
@40 hi Ynsere, you're right. Having Australia and beautiful Pacific islands as neighbours here is pretty cool.
May 06th, 2014 - 05:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Paulcedron - 170 for the hotel del Casco is pretty good, although San Isidro is dead in the evenings and the tren de la costa station is seriously going downhill.
I have always said I enjoy all of my visits. My worst experience is usually a cab or the city bus, but that can be said anywhere.
May 06th, 2014 - 09:02 am - Link - Report abuse 075. Be careful on a city bus. I hear the fare is now a finger.
May 06th, 2014 - 11:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0I try to avoid them if I can as it's really an aerobic exercise standing in them as they narrowly avoid the pedestrians.
May 06th, 2014 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I tried a bus but the diesel fumes, body odor, noise and lack of a/c made it into a one time experience.

Maybe you should pay for a shower next time...
May 06th, 2014 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stevie, Have you seen this yet:
May 06th, 2014 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“In three states, as well as in Caracas, security forces allowed armed pro-government gangs to assault unarmed civilians, and in some cases openly collaborated with them in the attacks,” found the one-hundred sheet paper entitled “Punished for protesting.”

BTW the conflict is STILL deadly and STILL ongoing. Didn't you tell me 2 months ago it would be over?
Yeah, yeah you did.
Are you ever right about anything Think2?
Anything at all?
Did you see what is happening in Ukraine? The military attacking its own people. USA says the violence is acceptable.
May 06th, 2014 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe you lot should stop talking about Venezuela until you've managed to make people look the other way.
As it is, it's just way too blatant...
No I am happy to show you how ridiculous you are.
May 06th, 2014 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maduro was just saying the new ration cars will solve the bare shelve problem
Do you believe him?
Bahahahahah
dufus
While in Ukraine your nazi buddies killed some 40 people setting a building afire...
May 06th, 2014 - 01:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'd rather fight an enemy that, out of desperation, puts production at halt in order to impose his/her views...
My guess is you've never been in a fight your whole life. Keyboard warrior that you are.
May 06th, 2014 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder will the V ration cards help inflation too? Will they save everyone from a life of misery?
DId the Happiness Ministry dole out Happy quotas too?
Can't have too much you know.
Oh the foolishness of Progressive
It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.
Ah!!! That's why you agree with the Ukranian nazi's!
May 06th, 2014 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Burning people alive most surely helps to end a “life of misery”
You reckon Maduro should send the Venezuelan military to kill their own people, don't you?
85. Nah, Maduro is doing well enough arming gangs on motorcycles to deal with those pesky protesters that want a few extra sheets of TP this week.

So here you go:

I don't understand, is it better or worse than burning the protesters alive and sending the military to kill its own citizens?
May 06th, 2014 - 02:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“While in Ukraine your nazi buddies killed some 40 people setting a building afire...”
May 06th, 2014 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You father really should not have raped your mom, look what they produced. Apparently you are not aware that that whore.....peron was the one who smuggled nazi's as a buddy into Argentina and took looted Jewish treasures.
BTW......where is the USA stating the violence is exceptable?
yankee most of the world knows that venezuela is self destructing. How fast is entirely up to the bus driver and the people.
88. I am seriously wondering if the Happiness Minister has put in Happy Ration Tickets in the book.
May 06th, 2014 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what the trade ratio is 1 happy coupon for 2 TP or the other way around?
Marxists are such silly fools.
Any country that installs a bus driver as their leader, well.....we see what is happening. Lack of toilet paper is no big deal as limited food supplies means no shitting. In fact.....now the shortage is ALL paper. He blames the “IMPORT MAFIA”
May 06th, 2014 - 04:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can't make this shit up!!!!
I see thousands have been laid off in autos in Argentina....sales dropped 36% because big daddy (Brazil) can't get it up anymore. I am not saying it with joy as it affects many I know, extended family. But maybe the silver lining is that the people, or the former assface supporters will see cuntlips for what she is.
Well the bus driver does have a helpful bird giving him advice when he doesn't know what to do.
May 07th, 2014 - 12:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0I will give you one Happiness ration ticket for all of your TP tickets.
Current happiness levels in Venezuela?
May 07th, 2014 - 02:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Umm.... not so good!
Most miserable places in the World, and why.

Venezuela gets top spot, (and Argentina gets an honourable mention coming in fourth!).
I wish the Boli-bullshitters would just self-implode but I think they need a little push....
They won't self implode, they are like the walking dead, they need head shots.
