Dec 22nd, 2014 - 09:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0who is the fairest one of all?
Famed is thy beauty, Majesty.
But hold, a lovely maid I see.
Rags cannot hide her gentle grace.
Alas, she is more fair than thee.
Ban those damn pageants!
Yes your Majesty.
Argentina, a funny place indeed.
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 11:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0But, hey, this is the country where criminals run on the loose, while honest people live behind bar and get jail time if they dare to resist an attack and wound or kill a criminal.
Argentina, the land where local taxpayers get nothing in return, but illegal immigrants get health care for free.
Argentina, where former terrorists get compensations and appointments in public offices.
Argentina, where corrupt officials make fun of everybody.
Argentina, where so-called human rights supporters get public money without any control, just for clapping the current gov.
Argentina, where a beauty pageant has to be banned, yet you may be fined if you don´t call a shemale “a lady”
Argentina ... what happened to you?

Argentina, it would have been better for you to have been in our empire.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the typical former british colony are: gambia, bangladesh, kenya, nigeria, tanganyika, pakistan, sudan, zimbabwe, etc.
australia and canada were the exception of the rule.
the best that can happen to you is to not have nothing to do with britain.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“ not to have nothing to do with britain” For your information as it is our language after all, a double negative “ not ” “ nothing ” together means a positive and I am sure you did not mean that. You see that is why we are the superior race as opposed to you implants in Argentina.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 01:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4. Poor girlie. Why did you forget to mention New Zealand, South Africa, United States? That'll be three more 'exceptions' then. You're afraid of the United States, aren't you? Because your mythology depends on keeping your head down and hoping you won't be noticed. Just imagine the Anglosphere coming for you. From the north, Britain, Canada and the United States. Would Australia and New Zealand come from the east or west? Perhaps Zimbabwe would like an opportunity to ruin some more territory. Mind you, not a lot left to ruin in argieland. Wonder how those other countries will feel about an argie being so negative? It's not as though you're doing any better than they are.
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6. The important thing for someone from the lower orders to recognise is that the higher orders cannot sully themselves with gibberish. We understand that chimpanzees, orang-utans, gorillas and argies have difficulties. But, being advanced, we can be patient. One day you'll advance to a point where a chimp will understand you. Perhaps it'll be 200 years per species. 800 years and a human might understand you. Not much chance for you is there? Perhaps, if you stood really close to a nuclear reactor, you might mutate. But how many heads would you have then?

But let me indulge you. We are doing better than India. And the UK, and YOU.
We are not ANGLO. Your empire was among the worst crimes in human history, and you celebrate it. What a ridiculous person you are.

All that for selling a cigarette on the sidewalk. What a great country hahahaha, pathetic. You should be nuked just for that.
I think this is an edict of KFC. Old Botox butt cannot bear the thought of any wimin being more gorgeous than her and so she has outlawed pageants.
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Edict? There are no edicts in a republic, only in backward monarchies like yours.

Find that restaurant in Mendoza yet?
I find beauty pageants demeaning so any small steps are better than none.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The rotting roadkillians should still have pagents but they should let the surgical team share in the winnings of the contestant since they are responsible for her appearance - not nature.
Afterall, there is no true beauty in rotting roadkill without plastic.
Everything that appears good in rotting roadkill is an illusion.
It is hardly the governments role to decide whether a group of people should or should be allowed to have a beauty pagant just as they cannot decide who can and cannot marry.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Are they the same as ladyboys?
Why aren't they called transexuals, transvestites or homosexuals as appropriate?
Isn't that more polite?
Why not open beauty pageants to anybody or any or no sex?
Obviously the Argentinians have run out of beauty products such as hairspray, lipstick.
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They cannot import any more due to the shortage of dollars so they have come up with another reason for cancelling the pageants.
Apparently the TRUTH is not so rosy
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 08:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0seeing as they asked CFK to be a judge,
but after seeing that they were 10x prettier than she was,, and supposedly would upstage her plastic beauty,
CFK immediately stopped the contest siting sexist against woman,
So they say....
Seems perfectly sensible. Argentines should have stopped using public money to fund beauty pageants ages ago.

And yours?
Let me indulge you,
lf your economy was a horse, the vet would shoot you.
On 2nd thoughts, maybe you are right.
We wouldn't want self-pitying losers like you in our empire.
Of course if we deported all you whining, whinging, victims, err l mean Argentines back to Spain & ltaly, then l'm sure that we could come to some agreement with the surviving Amerindian people.
You're an idiot, boy.

LMFAO.
Ha ha-the tiny Falklands manage a national SURPLUS-whilst you are in huge debt!
Even the Falkland Islands don't need aid from the UK-but you do.
I guess you are doing better at being in debt-congratulations!
Your aircraft are great, especially the re-hashed Pampers jet trainer from 1983 -got an Argentine designed jet engine has it? And how are those marvellous Argentine aircraft carriers coming along?
How are all those Argentine designed jet engines doing powering all those airliners?
“We are not ANGLO. Your empire was among the worst crimes in human history, ”
But nothing compared to the Spanish empire-and look what followed that example in South America.
“And your economy is now crashing along with the oil price.”
That's going to help Vaca Muerta?
Arrested those Falklands oil workers yet?

Hillbilly is America and I am confident he is a Brit:
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 02:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hillbilly
Often used as an insult and racial slur against White folks who live in the country. A hillbilly is a person who lives in a remote, rural area in the South, often in the Appalachian (Or sometimes Ozark) Mountains and therefore is isolated and somewhat out of touch with modern culture.
I was stationed in enough of those shitholes...
Argentines seem rather dour compared to their northern neighbours. Can you imagine banning beauty contests in Brazil, or perish the thought, Venezuela?
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 03:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Uhmmm... beauty contests are seen as a joke in Argentina. We never took the Miss Universe or Miss world pageants seriously.
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 05:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0The “beauty pageants” being referred to here are the ones associated with regional festivals. The point is the festival, not the beauty pageant.
@26
Ouch. Someone got offended.
Not taking beauty contests/pageants seriously seems eminently sensible to me. Hmmm... a very 'anglo' attitude come to think of it.

2) Our economy is doing very well.

Dec 23rd, 2014 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just responding to an earlier post you made. The Anglo-sphere generally learn another language because they wish to, the non English speaking nations generally learn English because they need to.
I always felt that when your's primary language is the world's second language of choice, what language should we learn?
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@37 Ditto. English, for instance, is the international language of business. Fly into a major TCA - anywhere - and try some of that rotting roadkillish or Chinese for example and all you will receive is silence or if someone is kind - squelch. lol

@40 - Surprised you even knew what a loo is, or that you have to wipe your backside with toilet paper and wash your hands afterwards. Especially when considering the fact that your more accustomed to using the post office floor, picking up your turtle heads and chucking them at the wall's, with the believe that doing so would result in your ring piece being miraculously cleaned by the invisible hand of god, and your hands washed clean the lords golden piss, that was in the bottle your comrade next to you gave you!

but surely the name also refers to Argies, ain they ANGLO-something,
???????????
It's funny because they are either Euro descent or indigenous and sometimes something in between. I believe the cerebrally weaker ones weld the word Anglo like an assault of something. Just like making a ludicrous claim that.....“we clean our asses better than you do”. How the fuck does one substantiate that claim?

Just look at some south American countries today.
@59 - Soooo - Argentina is also one of the poorest nations in the world, financially, and Argentina is among a few countries to have defaulted on its debts, not once, or twice, but over 7 times. Says a lot really!! But Argentina was a product of Spanish colonialism was it not! Just like the majority of the poorest nations were.
Dec 28th, 2014 - 03:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ohh and central africa you say? Well that is made up of mostly french former colonies!! And tanganyka was a former state in the German East Africa, it was only a British colony from 1922 - 1961 after the Germany relinquished it to the British in 1922 under League of Nations Mandate, along with the rest of German east Africa to Belgium of you retard! So you can hardly say its Britain's fault they so poor when they were only a british colony for 39 years 5 of those years was during WW2. So you go back to school and learn some real history, and some geography whilst your at it too!!
Anyway, Argentina wrecked the Falklands economy in less than a week - So Argentina is not exactly the best example of how to build upon a successful economy is it lol!
