The non humble fellow Argentines according to Pope Francis
Pope Francis during one of the several interviews motivated by his two years in the Vatican, also referred to his fellow citizens in Argentina, which he described as non humble and on the contrary rather vain and arrogant. Read full article
Comments
Disclaimer & comment rulesYeah he is right, but he is just playing it for the millions and millions of Latin americans that fanatically hate Argentines. In this case Mexicans that became oversensitive because the Pope expressed concern that Argentina was on fast track to “Mexicanization” (i.e narco war and narco state.)... Those comments offended not only Mexicans but the Ks also, who swiftly picked the phones and called the Vatican to have a chit chat with Francis...

She thought 'her turn' had arrived!
She thought that the World was going to start takinig her seriously now, as she had 'God' on Her Side!
She stupidly thought that she had the Pope in her Camp(ora), and now the World would listen to her...
She looked a fool. She was proven to be a fool when the world just laughed at her parochial niaviety...
Now he is safe from her threats and machinations, he ridicules his own nation.
Anyone care to comment on why?
After all, they were not friends when he was a Bishop in Argentina...
I think he is a lot smarter than her.
I have no doubt that to help remedy this flaw, the world community if asked will vote to nominate the British, the North Americans, the Australians, or other Anglos, as they are renowned for their exceedingly humble, demure, non-boasting nature.

Mar 15th, 2015 - 09:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Au contraire. The British are self-deprecating. We are rightly proud of what we are good at but we laugh at ourselves for what we are crap at. Also we readily admit what we did wrong in the past - and don't consider unpatriotic anyone who brings it up. Does that sound like Argentines?
In any case, these are all just stereotypes that do not apply to all individuals in the 2 nations - since clearly the Pope also has a good sense of national self-deprecation.
The Pope is a good old boy.

Mar 15th, 2015 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1. Just goes to show. Isn't the pope supposed to be the vicar of Christ on Earth? Leaving aside considerations such as whether a 'God' or 'Christ' exist, shouldn't this 'God' or 'Christ' be objecting to the rival 'Allah'? Is 'Allah' another word for 'Satan'? Certainly seems to be keen on killing, raping, thieving, warring, naughties with kiddies. In the good old ancient days, priests in various cultures used to sacrifice children. Did they point the way for Catholic priests and shag them first?
Mar 15th, 2015 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But let's get back to 'pop'. The word is supposed to mean 'father'. Paedo father?
Sorry, 'vicar of Christ'. And the evidence of Christ or 'God' selecting him is....?
Thought he was selected by other humans. Individuals who habitually parade around wearing dresses. Who's figured out how much dosh the (Catholic) church has salted away? At least they are headed for Hell. Comments about eyes of needles and rich men. And still they wander around with collection bowls. It used to be plates, but they couldn't get enough in.
“Argentines are non humble, but rather vain and arrogant” said an argie churchman. Doesn't this properly display argie vanity and arrogance? If he wasn't vain and arrogant, he wouldn't have taken the post. And he gets paid what? Human concerns. Somewhere to live. Heating. Lighting. Food. Cooking. Amusement. Which of these is he concerned about?
A typical argie chancer and scam artist throwing out a brief comment designed to show that he's 'different'. No he's not. If he was what he suggests he is, he would tell argieland to be honest. He would seek Kirchner's removal. He would ask permission to visit the free people of the Falkland Islands. He would give church funds to Falklands defence.
Just another argie bullshitter.

Paul, the article you quote is almost from the last century. It is likely that the persons responding have only been to London which is populated mostly by foreigners with poor English skills, especially true of the Latin nations. England is a welcoming place. In the pub, in the fish and chip shop queue people always speak to you and smile, they are so helpful and always want to know more about our country.. If you have some knowledge of English football and Rugby both are excellent topics of conversation. Its the same in restaurants like The Ivy, Le Manoir, Fortnum and Masons, Browns Hotel, Berry Bros and Rudd and over the road in the Carlton Club English people are so nice? Perhaps its your attitude that makes you make these statements that all seem to stem from a bad attitude like a sullen teenager with an inferiority complex? And I have noticed that you pepper your postings with bad language which seems to be to insult and intimidate the many English posters here? Perhaps if you were to go to some anger management sessions and learn to speak English correctly you could correct these unwelcome aspects of your personna? Then you would be more comfortable when you visit England and other English speaking countries. Similarly when you visit the Falkland Islands.

As to England, I am sure that most of the impressions are gained from visiting London. London is NOT representative of England. It's a cosmopolitan city with people from all over the world living there. It's high speed with people too busy to stop and talk. As I said, Paris is notorious even among the French for rudeness, N.York had the same reputation. I would be surprised if any major world city did not come out too well.

In the global world of Fashion, Music, Finance or Politics it is always heard;
London, Paris & New York.
London, Paris & Tokyo.
In Europe, London, Berlin & Madrid.
In international terms, London is always mentioned first, whilst most people who think on a global scale consider Buenos Arses to be akin to Birkina Faso, and think that both are sub-Saharan African failed states...
PS: Why would people in London even want to be good hosts to a bunch of immigrants from Argentina?
a) they are too busy getting rich and enjoying the the cultural diversity
b) they don't need to suck up to any tourists because they are not desperate for US$s, unlike yourselves.
In fact, just today, one UK pound Sterling wil buy US$ 1.40, Euro 1.47 or 13.2 AR$ 'nuevo peso'
http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Summary?s=ARSUSD
Which means in the most basic language, that even you might undertand, that Argentines are 13.2 times poorer than the the Brits, with your currency being worth only 11 cents on the US $.

Vain and Arogant? That certainly describes our President. Unlike European and North American politicians she never gives interviews, she never faces questions and never debates criticism. The Pope is clearly up to speed on our management and so many of our people too. You can read it in their postings right here, trying to lecture English people who already have a highly sucessful economy and a decent tolerant society. Yet these Argentinians think they know better and display breathtaking arrogance by trying to lecture on subjects they clearly have no knowledge of. This doesnt work on the British who just laugh at them. For myself, this arrogance on the part of my countrymen I find highly embarrasing. The Pope is an intelligent and caring man who correctly identifies Argentinians basic deficiencies.

Troy Tempest: Italy came to Germany's rescue in Cete:
Mar 18th, 2015 - 09:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0“When the German attack around Galatas stalled and the attackers suffered high losses, on 26 May the Wehrmacht operation staff requested Mussolini to send army units to Crete and thus take some of the pressure off the German forces there. Mussolini immediately agreed, and two days later an Italian regiment, reinforced with armour and artillery, landed near Sitia in the eastern part of the island. By the end of the month these formations reached Ierapetra on the south coast without encountering significant resistance.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Crete#cite_note-62
Italian bombers from 41 Gruppo sank one destroyer (Juno) and damaged another destroyer (Imperial) beyond repair ... While at anchor in Suda Bay, northern Crete, the heavy cruiser HMS York was badly damaged by Italian explosive motor boats and beached ... She was later wrecked by demolition charges and abandoned when Crete was evacuated in May. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Crete#cite_note-62

You can re - fight every individual battle in your tiny mind, but you can never change history.
So we have a purported Argentine trying to defend Italian actions in WWII. How funny is that.?

Ironic really that you have an Argentine Pope, currently residing in Italy, who has publicly announced that he thinks the Argentines are a bit of a fucking joke.

Alberto is off-topic.
Mar 18th, 2015 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Embarrassing that the Pope is telling it like it is about the Argentines. And he would know.
I wonder if Alberto is one of those Argies that describes himself as Italian first, like some.
Too bad for him that Pablo gives all Argies a bad name.

as far as the whole world knows, argentina kicked those dirty british asses 3 times.
and as far as the whole world knows, it was an argentine general who freed chilotelandia.
and as far as the whole fucking world knows, the chilotes are not only a bunch of cowards, but also the biggest ass-kissers / bootlickers on earth.
maybe that´s why they are so despised.
