    Its time for6 Massa to join Macri and put an end once and for all to the k's. Please...do it for the good of the country. Like Cobos did when he voted against cfk 6 years ago. Put your ego on the shelf for a few years.

    @2 I am thinking the same. Massa is saying all the right things.

    How can these idiotic Ks go on record saying there will be no devaluation when even the Govt rate peso devalues every day?
    Are they insane?

    My friend has just come back from a visit to Royal Airforce Cosford in the midlands. He saw a Mercedes Jeep ( Argentine military jeep on the Falklands ) which was captured by the Gurkhas in the FALKLANDS and presented to the British Army. To get the jeep servicible they needed some parts from Mercedes for the gearbox and asked Mercedes to supply them. Mercedes said that as Argentina had not paid them for the jeep they wanted the jeep back. The Uk said that they would not be getting it back as it was considered to be “ spoils of war ” So the moral of this is if you sell to the Argies make sure you get the money upfront.

    It is not immoral to steal from the rich to give to the poor. Argentina is the only nation on Earth that stands to those honored principles.

    Was the Argentine military poor in 82? It's p@&s poor at fighting but Thought the Military Junta spent quite a bit on it.

    Glad that you concur that Argentina is a nation of thieves.

    At least not a nation of murderers and cultural destroyers like yours!

    @12 Really? Didn't some girl in Argentina have her eyes gouged out the other day? Murder is common place in Argentina but rarely reported there. And your President Roca was rather keen on genocide. You really can't throw stones living in that glass house.

    @12: “At least not a nation of murderers and cultural destroyers”: let's talk about the Disappeared! How many were killed by you r government between '76 and '83? Your bloody “national hero” was among one of the first to start murdering and raping in 1832, FFs!
    Ask the original inhabitants of S. America.

    Really? Stones from glass walls... That's what you British are undisputed experts on.

    Here you all are calling Argentina a nation of thieves, yet anyone that walks into one of the major museums of your capital city will encounter millions and millions worth of STOLEN LOOT from all over the place.

    Sheesh, how crass can you be not to see the hypocrisy?

    Oh I forgot this time.... ANGLOS will be ANGLOS.

    @16
    And you are going to give back the land stolen from the indiginous Indians in patagonia in your colonial past, probably worth trillions at todays prices, you certainly are the most hypocritical country on earth. Thieving twats.

    If there's anything more comic than Argentina's claim to the Falklands, it's Argentina's claim to the moral high ground.

    Scioli is not considered 100% K???....he is so far up cfk's ass that its pathetic. And with regard to indigenous people here...the Qom have been camped out in the plaza in BsAs for over 6 months...and they are totally ignored by the government. All they want is a couple thousand hectares of land that was stolen from them.

    I understand Felix Diaz of the Qom is only looking for dialogue. Maybe somebody should slip a placard to the Pope and take a quick snap.

    Maybe the Qom should phone the Chagossians for stories of their successful forays into dialogue with the Brittos.

    The Argentine opposition is desperate and will stop at nothing to seed disturbance on any election in which they are no winners.
    They know who may win if fair play is used and they do not like it.

    @23 Do you get your information from the La Campora Newsletter? Can you really be so unaware of the election rigging by the K's. It is not hard to find the video evidence of people being paid for their votes, it is blatant and recorded. Try a little researc; you disgrace your profession.

    @21 TTT will be TTT. What about the eye gouging incident?

    @9. Argieland doesn't even understand what the word “principles” means. Argieland has only one “God”. Money. Thou shall not kill. Argies do it all the time. Thou shall not commit adultery. Except on days with a “y”. Thou shalt not steal. And argieland has stolen at least US$300 billion. Thou shalt not bear false witness. And every argie lies at least 10 times a day. Thou shalt not covet. How many things does argieland covet?
    @12. Ready to explain spanish and argie genocide in south america?
    @16. Yeah. But then we went there and discovered things. Argies just stole whatever the indigenous people had. Did you wait until the people had been dead for few hundred years? Or did you just kill them on the spot like you do now?
    @21. Chagossians? Do you mean the itinerant nobodies who never owned so much as a grain of sand? How much has argieland stolen or tried to steal? From people who had far more rights than the so-called Chagossians. Try Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Falkland Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the British Antarctic Territory.
