    Missed opportunity to prove the blade by chopping off the head of TMBOA and solving all our problems.

    At least she didn't utter one single word. Amazing.

    She acts all patriotic, meanwhile she fleeces the country of public funds with her corrupt cronies.
    We need a guillotine in Plaza de Mayo for her.

    Does Cretina comprehend the symbolism of the object and her co-opting of it?

    Probably not . . . . .

    Internationally #107 with a 34 score.

    “Missed opportunity to prove the blade by chopping off the head of TMBOA and solving all our problems.”
    When you believe posters like ChrisR have reached the bottom, they still manage to get one more step lower in their promotion of violence as a way of dealing with political issues or persons.
    Additionally, this keyboard warrior, safely tucked behind a nickname, appears to believe that the--violent--suppression of a head of government will magically, “solve all our problems.”
    Hateful, violent statements such as those posted in #1 and #3 must be negated legitimacy and repudiated by those who believe in solving conflicts peacefully, as described in a Toronto Sun article:
    “...there should be law that allows for us to suppress a rejection of others and a call for violence and a call for death,” said Harlem Desir, French state secretary for European affairs.

    It is all about me, in that I mean she is saying “ look at me see how patriotic I am” personally I often wonder why the Latam countries are so fixated about the past and do not look to the future. After all the museum is not finished yet, or maybe they run out of money to finish it. Never mind the Chins will give them money.

    “safely tucked behind a nickname”

    And of course you are nowhere near The Dark Country, are you being safely tucked away in Canada? Hypocrite!

    I have an obvious need to mask my surname: it is VERY rare, even in the UK and I would imagine unique in Uruguay so why would I put my wife at risk you fucking moron?

    You are a typical inbred argie: full of arrogance in telling others what they should or should not do whilst telling lies as if they were the truth and frightened of your own shadow; otherwise why are you hiding in Canada if TDC is such a good place and full of honesty at the government level?

    BTW there are probably 27M Argentines who agree with me: Klingon for a start.

    I take it that the grinning idiot with the stupid cap is you?

    Come on, don't be shy, who else would tell lies about Vultures and the 92% if it was not you? OR: “Has reported on Rocky View County issues since 1999”.

    Took me about 10 seconds to find this, a little more to find out where you live!

    I bet you don't live in the straw bale house “you” made though do you?

    I think I will pass your location onto a well known friend on here who would just LOVE to “meet” you. I think he would enjoy a trip to Canada, don't you?

    Do you feel threatened and scared for your life: I bet you do? See how easy it was? Try and find me, NO CHANCE.

    IDIOT

    San Martín se hartó tanto de su “creación” que se jubiló en Francia y allí murió.

    Are you running out of insults and need to resort to veiled threats?
    “I think I will pass your location onto a well known friend on here who would just LOVE to 'meet' you. I think he would enjoy a trip to Canada, don't you?” notes Chris in another of his anonymously posted messages. That, my friend, is pure cowardice on your part if you ask me.
    “Do you feel threatened and scared for your life: I bet you do?” asks Chris in #8.
    Your veiled threat is duly noted but...not a chance my friend. Here's proof. You found what you did online just because I allow it to be there--and I feel very comfortable with it.
    In the meantime, let's see if you are able to produce any valuable arguments instead of insults and threats. Arguments!

    Mrs. Kirchner:

    - DO NOT F*CKING touch that sword without gloves, you moron ! It´s an historical, ancient object. Not to mention you don´t even deserve to look at it.

    - Had Mr. José de San Martín (the original owner of that sword) being alive, he would have killed you with his bare hands. You are a disgrace for this country. No wonder why he just spent a few years here and then he moved out.
    We don´t deserve somebody as great as he was. Forgive us.

    @ 10 Kiki Mashed Potato Head

    Well, at least you didn't deny it was you.

    But what about a few more home truths from other people living near you:
    http://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/lowther-calgarys-plan-to-bully-surrounding-communities-is-a-bad-idea

    “”You write this piece Enrique as if you speak for the whole county. WRONG. You do not. There are actually many residents in this county that are forward thinking and want to see reasonable and progressive development in the county. Hopefully other readers realize from your continuous rants in the media that you are not the voice of all residents as you like to imply.“”
    AND
    “”Good job Eric 100% bang on. I am one of many residents in Rocky View unlike the esteemed Mr. Massot that is very much in favor of commercial and residential development within the county. I am a small acreage owner in Springbank and have no ties to land development whatsoever. I am sick of this bunch of “NIMBYS” that incessantly rant to the media that ALL residents want to stop development in this county. This is simply not true....For Mr. Massot to suggest that Rocky View 20/20 members are all Calgary developers again is 100% flat out lies. It amazes me that this group of “NIMBYS” will grab any media source available and slander, defame and outright lie about any approved or upcoming developments and do so without any consequences is mind boggling to say the least.“”
    AND NOW YOUR REPLY from 'Mount Royal College':
    “”John Bamlett's aggressive rant showcases the contempt Rocky View residents have faced every time they have attempted to make their voice heard.
    From “bunch of NIMBYS,” and “whiners” as above to “misinformed” or “anti-growth zealots,” residents have heard it all in the last 15 years.
    In most cases, those humorless people end up showing direct or indirect ties to development interests.“”

    You just cannot stop the LIES can you AND you are so inept at LYING that you get caught out again and again?
    TBC!

    So you found adverse comments regarding my position about development in the community I live and work. Wow! Congrats. We all know now that you know how to “Google.”
    And your point is...?

    Mmmm! I suppose it beats having to compete with all those ”aggressive rant(ers),“ and ”humorless people“ who know you as we do: a little arrogant, lying argie who will not ever give up on the myth that TDC is worth more than any country on earth.

    Congratulations! Thanks to your superior knowledge of Google, you now know how to phone me, email or even send me an old-style paper letter.
    Now for your sentence “little arrogant, lying argie who will not ever give up....”
    Besides the adjectives little, arrogant and lying, the rest is true. I am an Argentine and won't give up.
    And again: Your point was...?
