Feb 18th, 2015 - 02:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed, from time to time stories like this one give us a glimpse into a country that looks very different from the picture that day to day is fed to the public by most western media or by Clarín, La Nación or other Argentine media opposing the current government.
Feb 18th, 2015 - 06:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Too bad this leaves the average right-wing internet troll without words--all but the chronically constipated of course.
Considering soy is dropping, oil is mad dashing to 10 to 20 a barrel.......you guys need something. Why is it that in countries such as yours....you know......elected dictatorships, that criticizing the government is a bad thing?
Feb 18th, 2015 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In true democracies the transparency is often maintained by the critical review of an open and free media.......but not in Argentina. The public of a society seldom complain of an attacking and critical media of thye government. It is usually the government members themselves for they fear being exposed. But this is not the case in Argentina, for is you do, you may get burned........literally.....or suicided.
Why is anyone criticising the Argentine government for stealing from the poor called right-wing? You could hardly call CFK a woman of the people. She is snobbish and mocks the poor. Why do the Argentine poor allow her to take the food from their children's mouths to fund her lavish life-style?

Feb 18th, 2015 - 08:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm all for Argentina being successful and making money-because I don't want my tax money going towards aid in Argentina, and more income will enable Argentina to pay back its debts.
Argentina still owes the UK money for weapons bought in the 1970s/1980s. Also Argentines could be looked after better than they are.

Feb 19th, 2015 - 02:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0It all sounds good, but why is Argentina so poor it needs Aid from the EU?
”A British politician has called for an end to British tax payers money going to Argentina ... MEP Nathan Gill said it was “inconceivable that Britain has contributed £7 million to Argentina in foreign aid, via a £50 million EU aid programme.”
Why do you need free money from UK tax-payers?
Please include your explaination in the Thank-You letter that I expect to see you posting on this thread.

You are called right-wing because you ARE right-wing. You wish to impose Anglo-crony-capitalism, thus the fitting nomenclature.

Feb 19th, 2015 - 03:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Please explain why you are happy to take £50 million of EU money.
Why do you need this charity hand-out?
@7 No I am not and no I don't.
Feb 19th, 2015 - 08:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0For a self-proclaimed genius you are easily brainwashed. How do you describe your government? Argie-crony-thieving?

Feb 19th, 2015 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess that means firebombing cars and women, not to mention assassination of critics of the government, is Left wing? Or is that what passes for a Moderate in Argentina, at least according to your beloved NoEthic School of “thought?” ;)

Feb 19th, 2015 - 03:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stuff those 50 up your glorious one. I find it hilarious you think Argentina will suddenly collapse without that 0.01% of GDP.
@9
I describe is as “par for the course”. No worse no better than anything before. They are just the ultimate hypocrites, they learned from you Anglos well, the K clan.
@11
None of that is true...

Feb 19th, 2015 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I never said that I think Argentina will collapse with out the EU hand-out, so please don't attribute that to me.
Can't you just answer the questions?
Why do you need it? Are you happy for the world to know that you accept charity crumbs from the rich man's table of the EU?

It would be cool to have a two hour war with Argentina. But seriously we'd have more or a fight with girl scouts.
