I will save him the bother and omit most of the profanities
Feb 13th, 2015 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Who cares what the National Geographic, ( a 4th rate publication), thinks about a lot of fat, illiterate, stinky effing penguins from a group of shitty islets with no scanners,schools and inhabited by pirates/squatters - choose either or- I am off to play polo, surf or eat the world's best food while admiring the world's best architecture from world leading universities.
This photo entry will have KFC and Gollum foaming at the mouth. “How dare they enter a photo of an offensive weapon - Falklands Nuclear Penguins!” Be afraid Argentina… .very afraid!

Feb 13th, 2015 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0LOL. Now I have no doubt. You are in fact Paul.
Of course the child malnutrition rates in the Falklands...Zero I believe.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Are way below the Argentinian standard.
Totally off topic, but no different from Pauly-Wally.
@2 Would have been a perfect impersonation except you missed out the magnetic resonators lol Ohhh and commented on our poor poor school system lol

Feb 13th, 2015 - 03:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You used to many capitals and punctuation. However it was uncanny.
The important thing is that these are REAL penguins living on many of the Falkland Islands. Lovely creatures.
Feb 13th, 2015 - 04:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So many blow-up argie imitations. How do you tell the difference? You put a bullet through. Mini-gun? Mortar? Cannon?

Feb 13th, 2015 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You didn't mention the Argentine women!

Feb 13th, 2015 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11 You are so stupid, the links you posted are broken, but I suppose you are refering to the picture of the Globe after the illegal occupation by you god forsaken country. Firstly, it is no longer a hotel, just a bar. Secondly, it has been renovated since then.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 01:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway what would know about hotels, you're to poor to even enter a hotel.
Yes Paul. Original penguins.... not pretend penguins like someone's pretend education in Barcelona.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 02:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0paulie, no one gives a shit what you think.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 02:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do tell us some more about having attended 'one of the most prestigious Universities on earth'.
You know, the IAAC, which describes itself as an 'Institute', (not an actual university), and acreddited by a 'polytechnic' no-less. Well, whoopee-do!
lol!!
how many days did you 'attend'?
was it 'visitors' day?
arf! arf!
He saw a slide show in the Visitors Centre when took the tour.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 03:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0- that's a “seminar”, I suppose.

Feb 14th, 2015 - 10:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0I see by your comments that you know nothing about wildlife photography either.
Planning and “savvy” have to go into taking a picture like this. The judges thought it good enough to be a finalist but in your astounding arrogance, you know better.
The theme of ALL your posts.
Where does it say it was taken by a FALKLAND islander ? Most likely taken by a wildlife tourist who value SAFE and FRIENDLY LOCATIONS unlike the country some 400 km to the west.

Feb 14th, 2015 - 10:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I actually looked for pictures of rough looking places in Argentina to illustrate the point that anyone can trawl the internet to find pictures of places not pretty enough to win a competition.
I'm not going to do it, because there are some truly awful ones- poverty, slums, heaps of refuse, homelessness. It's really sad, and not a fit subject for a tit-for-tat exchange with an internet troll.

Feb 16th, 2015 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“You know, the IAAC, which describes itself as an 'Institute', ...”
you are not very bright, are you?
the mit is also an institute of technology and also a university, you ignoramus.
guess you dont have the slightest clue about what a university is, no???
anyway, what the fuck can you know when all your education can be summarized in attending the community primary school of the islets?
@20 Please stop pretending to be something you are not. You are not an architect, or a surfer, nor do you watch polo. You are a waste of fresh air, if you have even breathed any in you metropolis shithole. So please, stop annoying everyone like some petulant little child and go sit in the corner.
Feb 16th, 2015 - 05:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also, I have decided that I am at least 10x smarter than you, and an all round better person as well........ you loser :)
brainless
Feb 16th, 2015 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0to be smarter than me, at least you should try to speak / write YOUR OWN LANGUAGE properly.
it is the only idiom you “know”, you monoglot, and yet you insist in massacring it.
you are a joke, brainless

Feb 16th, 2015 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You don't know anything about anyone here.
You don't know where we went to school, whether we went to university, where we are from or what we do. Brian could be fluent in Lithuanian for all you know.
It is your assumptions that betray your poor intellect, not the fact that you can get by in English. Those, and the fact that you can't communicate without childish insults. Seriously, anyone reading your posts would just think 'what an idiot!' Isn't that what we are supposed to think?
Actually i can speak and write very well, but like i said b4 (LOL I'm destroying my idiom), this is forum on an online newspaper, no one, and I mean NO ONE cares apart for you. Only you are sad enough to be a grammar Nazi and correct people when you are proven to be a stupid liar.
Feb 16th, 2015 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also, do people in the slums have access to CT scanners? A simple question, I am sure you will have no trouble answering it.
Finally, why haven't you entered a photo into the National Geographic Traveller photo competition? Surely you must some photos of the giant rats and stray dogs that roam around outside your house. Try entering next year Piggy Pauly, they might me considered artsy.

Feb 16th, 2015 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so brainless could be fluent in lithuanian, according to you, no??
the funny thing is that he is not fluent in HIS OWN IDIOM, you nincompoop.
“... and I mean NO ONE cares apart for you.”
apart for you?
or apart FROM you?
guess you both were classmates in the internationally famous pork stanley community school.
Hehehe i did that one on purpose, you are so predictable Pauly, can't answer a question or face the truth so you deflect and change the subject. Also you missed my typo on the last line of my previous comment...... stupid Pauly lol.
Feb 16th, 2015 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, do people in the slums have access to CT scanners? Can you answer this question Pauly.
Also, are there any Argentine entries in the National Geographic Traveller photo competition? Considering the beauty of Argentina (ignoring the slums and arrogant populace) there must be several entries.

Feb 16th, 2015 - 07:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can't answer those questions, can you?
DO the people of the Argentine urban slums, the millions of them, families, women, and children... do THEY have access to CT Scanners, or even drugs and appropriate therapies??
DO they?
Hmmm,
waiting for your answer...
not likely you ever will.
I don't think there's any point talking to him. He isn't even a very amusing troll.
Feb 16th, 2015 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't think I'll bother any more; the only thing he has to say is how stupid everyone is. It's just very boring, frankly.
I don't argue with fools as a rule, and I don't respond to children throwing a tantrum, so I think I'm done.

Feb 16th, 2015 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I agree 100%
I just want to demonstrate he's a fool and full of sh!t.
If he doesn't respond to Brian's post, or my post - he'll be showing himself for the idiot he is.
Actually, even if he does respond, he'll look bloody stupid.
Sorta waiting for Voice/Vestige to come along in his defence.
let´s see, imbeciles
Feb 16th, 2015 - 10:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0first, you uneducated pieces of shite, have to differentiate between urban poverty and rural poverty.
people from villa 31, for instance, have access to 2 high complexity hospitals, hospital fernández and hospital argerich, totally free.
that´s why a lot of people from bolivia, chile, perú and paraguay declare a domicile there and have the right to be attended in those hospitals.
in rural areas, the situation is a bit worse, you imbeciles, since the closest hospital is at 100 km distance.
now, you also have to differentiate between urban or rural poverty and declassed people.
in the second case they die because of cheap drug abuse, alcoholism and starvation, and it is a fenómeno urbano.
then, the government who claims to be nacional & popular, and which is governing the granero del mundo, is responsible for the death of hundreds of people, most of them kids, in the provinces of formosa, chaco etc, and in villa 31, which is just 10 blocks from casa rosada.
as i said many times, kirchnerismo and you falklandistas are the same shite, the worst thing is that they /you think they / you are the great thing..

Feb 16th, 2015 - 11:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is a genuine question; what does 'declassed people' mean. Is it an official term, or is it a phrase used for people who we would say have 'fallen through the net'- homeless people, drifters with no fixed abode etc

Feb 17th, 2015 - 12:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am NOT asking if the Villa 31 residents, and the millions like them, are in the vicinity of hospitals.
Dumkopf!
I 'm asking if they have ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE?
You know, like CT's and MRI machines that work and are not broken? Do they have qualified competent, Doctors, hospital beds, appropriate sterile conditions, drugs, treatments, etc.?
Do the hospitals have gauze, syringes, new needles, etc etc etc???
Will patients have to wait hours, days, or longer for treatment, if it is available at all??
Your answer only dealt with whether they lived near a hospital, or their citizenship.
What is the reality ?? - don't lie, now.
Odd, that CFK had to be airlifted to BA because nobody could do a simple c-ray for her stubbed toe, in Olivos!
Or was the MRI for her hangnail, not working??
Regardless, The services seemed to be inadequate.
23 imbecile & tremendo pelotudo
Feb 17th, 2015 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0being in the vicinity of hospitals is fundamental, you ignorant isleter, because if you have a domicile in the proximity of barrio norte or la boca, like the villa 31, and you dont have a private healthcare plan or a healthcare plan from a syndicate, like most of the residents of the villas, they have the right to be attended in the hospital fernandez, hospital de clinicas, rivadavia, argerich, hospital de niños, etc.
both the hospital fernandez and argerich are in excellent condition, the same with the hospital de clínicas which depends on the universidad de buenos aires,
the situation changes for worse in the south part of the city, the exception of the rule is the hospital garrahan
now the situation changes a lot for worse when you move to the provincia de buenos aires.
except the corredor norte, vicente lopez, san isidro (which have the best public hospital of south america) and tigre, the rest is a mess, a disaster.
and in the interior of provinces like formosa and chaco, the situation is untenable.
that´s why lots of kids and old people die there because of simple diseases, diseases of poverty, etc.
as for waiting to be attended, etc, it is like in most of the hospitals of the world, you retard.
if it is an emergency, they treat you soon, if it is not an emergency, you can be waiting for a pair of years, and probably dying without being treated.
