Never overlook the bribery effect of 'No Money Pepe' and his social programme, the one where he gives handouts to people not working. He's too stupid to realise that they won't work then, anyway.
Guess who the lazy bastards will be voting for: Vasquez.

Voting is also compulsory here, in Argentina . Appart from that trifle, I warmly congratulate you on the quick grasp of the merits of the uruguayan voter: his (or her) lucid search for the excepcional, the uncommon; vouched by the result of the former election : nowadays, ALL uruguayans are aware that President Mujica has been only one, and never will be another. SOPHISTICATION: the right word in the right place, for the right country (“como el Uruguay no hay”).
Uruguay pollsters can agree in whatever they wish.....

Greetings to all Rochences...
El Think.
Go away Think and sort your own problems out in Patagonia where you are squatting on Amerindian land. The rebel province of the Banda Oriental wants nothing to do with your corrupt lot. Uruguayans know what a democracy is and the rally by La Campora and Scioli in Colonia did not improve the Frentes chances,rather the reverse.

So, please, don't play “Native” on me....
You Haughty Engrishmen would rather die than go native...
Typical troll behaviour. Attack the messenger not the message. Glad to hear you have gone native.Native of what? The Falkland islands?

Your haughty Ex-Pat Engrisman message to me was loud and clear...: “Go Away”
For your info, I'm a born South American, a Mercosur and an Argentinean citizen with no plans whatsoever of going away nowhere...

By the way, Mr. Redpoll, does your memory keep any recollections on something queer about the sudden “disappearance”, in the XIX Century, of the CHARRÚA indians, the original inhabitants of the República Oriental del Uruguay...?
I just love it when a resident (perhaps) of TDC claims to speak Spanish, PMSL.
Oct 24th, 2014 - 05:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What argies speak can in no way be considered as Spanish, even what the Uruguayo speak, which is closer, is laughed at in Spain.
So the question is this: who cares WTF argies say about anybody, especially those paying their taxes in their new country?
A clue: it's like looking at your shoe when you have stepped on something brown and nasty and smelling like an argie.

TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT YEARS AGO.
Wow, you argies like to press your luck!
Try 1982. That's only 32 years ago and I believe you recently gave The Cowards of the Continent a losers medal for that.
The only grumble I had with The Blessed Margaret was that she listened to Raygun Ronnie Reagan when he asked her to “go easy and leave them dignity”. Shows how much his old brain had gone by then.
What we should have done was to destroy all argie infrastructures and put you where you belong: the Dark Ages as befits The Dark Country.
At least it would have stopped you being a pain in the culo for the Falklands.

@9 yes I quite agree with you about the extinction of the Charruas. A dark page in our history. Bernabé Rivera was a psicopath. Just a question. Who exterminated the Charruas in Enter Rios?

Excuse me, but I know nothing of that sort in Entre Ríos, unless you appointed to ”maladies of 'civilization' “ :alcoholism, syphilis, etc. .Apart from them, racial intermix was rather quick in the province, as well as in Brazil, and so it seems correct to consider extinct the charrúas as a pure ethnological category.Even so, the 2001 census recorded 676 charrúas in the Province, most of them of mixed ancestry. But I´ve found nothing that even remotely may evoke ”ethnic cleansing”, let alone occurrences as the Salsipuedes massacre. However, as these last are frequently hidden or ignored by local historians-for obvious reasons- I´ll be obliged if you could grant me any data on the matter.
