So all that talent, rule of law, superior Anglo genetics that you always boast about, and your country is just as dependent on commodities and China as Argentina.
:(
“Argentina's foreign trade policy has become to the say the least, confusing”

Just because they make shoes to fit the Sasquatch, doesn't mean the Argentine can do without foreign trade.

Argentina imports 90%+ of what it needs for finished products.
Why don't you go live in North Korea and stop bothering us?

May 05th, 2015 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since “Anything foreign can go to he!!.”, then why don't you put your actions where your mouth is.....get rid of, or never again use anything imported or produced by multinationals.....so, get rid of your car....move around on foot - admittedly here, you'd have a big (foot) advantage ; no more listening to the radio, listening to cd's, or watching TV ; no more computers, so no more internet - you can communicate with your Troll friends by smoke signals ; no more medicine - when you get ill, just die ; stink to high hell as you cannot use any toiletry products manufactured by multinationals....I could go on and on, but I don't need to, you get the picture....in other words, go back to medieval times and enjoy it. What a fake you are...
Oh please, I have already posted inventions from Argentina that while not copious, are remarkably useful and without them your life would be quite more inconvenient, boring, and unhealthy.

I choose work to live, not live to work.
If you like living to work, great. But don't force it down my throat.
Nothing of consequence has come out of Argentina in at least 2 generations. Argentina is clearly devolving. My oh my what would you do all day if not talk with the hated Foreign speakers on this and the many other boards you post on.
May 06th, 2015 - 09:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your'e a hypocrite and too stupid to realize it.
US$30 billion is hardly anything really.
May 06th, 2015 - 12:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For trade between two country that consider each other to be 'hermanos' and have had Mercosur going for 20 years.
Quite piddly really.
@12 Trolley,
May 06th, 2015 - 02:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm talking about things that nowadays you practically cannot do without....not some 'remarkably useful' but superfluous inventions....and, as usual, you have sidestepped the fact that, implicitly, you claim you can live a normal life without the things I mentioned. And I doubt you practise what you preach.
Listen you BrazzoBritto, besides the fact that invention lists are notoriously overlapping, even if whatever you lousy, smelly foreigners invented is true, you didn't invent it out of the goodness of your hearts. You did it out of sheer primordial GREED. No noble or chivalrous thoughts.
May 06th, 2015 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thus, if I buy those products, then I have earned the right to use them because you losers have decided to sell those products to me.
So actually, if YOU foreigners had any morals, you would not sell Argentina anything and walk the walk about how 'evil' and 'pariah state' we are. So in fact it is you that do not practice what you preach.
I didn't befriend foreigners to get any products, they avariciously sold them to get more money.
That's they way it is.
Don't worry Toby that time may be coming soon enough. Argentina is a NarcoState with links to Terrorist States.
May 06th, 2015 - 06:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We've cut off countries for much less.
No wonder you don't cut us off then. NarcoState to NarcoState love!!!!

I lived near a Drug lord in La Lucila in Znorte the house had guard towers on ever corner. It wasn't a very nice house though.

So this recession is being blamed on the end of the commodity supercycle and China's softening growth?
May 07th, 2015 - 03:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0And yet Australia is forecast to grow 2.8% this year and 3.2% next year!!!!!!
And we don't have supposed BRIC friends helping us. Guess there must be more to Australia's success and Brazil's failure than the commodity supercycle and China's burgeoning demand.

Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina are in a recession moving into Depression because they blew their wad and spent when they should have been saving.

“Citizens concerned for the future of their country, under a federal government that's increasingly bloated, corrupt, reckless and invasive, have a constitutional option. We can call a Convention of States to return the country to its original vision of a limited federal government that is of, by and for the people.”
Hows that going...don't they need 34 States to sign up ...how many States have signed up already...
When's the next Civil War....;-)
The USA has been in decline in absolute terms since 1954. A graph indicates that in 1958, out of a total world power points of 500, the USA had 337 of 500 points!!
May 07th, 2015 - 05:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Today, it's it's 129 of 500, and by 2020 will be 115.
Burn baby burn :)
22. I'm for that amendment. I want a balanced Federal budget and the Feds out of everyone's business. I think its a great idea and I really think it will move forward with the next Prez.

How many people were kidnapped today in Argentina? 50? 100? More? Does anyone even know?

May 08th, 2015 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Thus, if I buy those products, then I have earned the right to use them because you losers have decided to sell those products to me”....
WTF ??? so now it's the foreigners fault that you are “forced” to buy their products ? Don't make me laugh...you are a bigger twit than I thought you were. You don't 'need' to befriend anyone to buy an imported product - you've just got to go into a shop, buy it and pay for it...I know that paying for it might be a bit of a problem for you wankers, but that's too bad.
And, since when did “we” foreigners, ever preach that we would not sell our products to you numbnuts ? If you are going to lie, at least be coherent.
