    @2. Shouldn't think so. Kirchner will find a way to whitewash her tame crook. Will it be enough to threaten the prosecutor and judge, or will they have to be killed?

    6. Toby you are so very very wrong. Even if Griesa and Singer are no longer involved the obligations will not disappear with them.

    Griesa will allow most if not all of the “me too”s to pile on. Its estimated there's up to U$15B of them. I also think he will allow Arg gov't properties to be seized. All of this is coming.
    This is the beginning of the end not the end.

    The deaths are mainly attributed to motor vehicle accidents. In one case, a kidney dialysis patient died after being unable to get treatment due to wintry weather conditions.

    Most of these deaths are old people who went out to shovel. They should have paid some Latin to do it for $10. That's what they're there for.

    I think the people in Cordoba were in their houses when they were swept away.

    That was probably pretty exciting..
    until it wasn't

    Ahh the life of a 3rd worlder is so interesting.

    Its too hot in my house I think I need to turn the heat down.

    I'm saying its not an everyday occurrence like express kidnappings in your filthy country and rarely do we have burned corpses turn up in our nice neighborhoods. Rarely. :)

    If there's a problem with flooding for one example we figure out what went wrong and fix it or not allow people to live in flood planes. Easy Peasy.

    Tell me how many decades has Belgrano been flooded with very little rainfall? Nothing has been done, every time is rains a few inches there's raw sewage in the streets. Not like around the slum near Retiro where the rain washes away the raw sewage in the streets its a good thing. Probably the only time those people get water on their skin too.

    Voice the Bamahas are barely 90 miles off the coast of Florida there is nothing so special about going there other than it being warm. In fact this February is the highest booked month for escaping to the Bahamas. I prefer the Cayman's...GeorgeTown. It's not as poverty ridden as most of the Caribbean islands.

    I go much further south and in a much nicer town.

    Has the alcohol ruined your health? It really doesn't get that hot in St Pete. Anyway you must be in really poor health if you had that kind of trouble or maybe you've never really been there.

    Did it take 2hrs to drive there from Pearson too?

I really don't think you can find more rednecks in any area as there are in Virginia. But what do I know as an American. Perhaps your favorite city....NYC we can talk about the wonders there?

    I think many of us would love to know where you pretend to reside in the USA. You are the western version of tobi.......assuming not a transexual though.

    Yeah voice I think that is rt 4 and no where is it publicized about the excessive tolls like every 10 minutes the entire drive west to east. Not to mention the gulleys filled with alligators.

    I question you as an American. You seem to have little regard for democratic freedoms. Apparently either ignorant or resentful of the 25th amendment. Though the one thing that tends to keep a lingering possibility in mind is as a Republican, you do position yourself as a racist and hate those unlike you.....the weaker, the poorer.

    @6. Poor child. The case stays no matter what. Even if argieland continues lying and wriggling for another 100 years. Being a nasty, horrible English person, I favour dropping a nuclear warhead in the middle of Buenos Aires. Do you have any idea how quickly they can be manufactured? Pay, you little shites. Then you can go back to being a Zimbabwe clone. And ignored.
    @12. Yankee whores. Speaking a proper language? Not diseased like the latam ones? I've been offered a Mexican whore. Shite. Like an argie whore, only if I could squirt from 10 feet away. No problem with argie whores. Bit like a major sewer. And the difference between argies and argie whores is what...? They both gobble. They both do deep throat. They both take it up the rear. There is one difference. Argies need to have something pointless chopped off with an axe.
    @16. Perhaps you shouldn't go further. How many argie scum have drowned recently? Not to worry. Best dead and eaten by the carrion feeders. Some of the carrion feeders are even animals!
