Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Foradori received this poor sods credentials then.
Jul 25th, 2016 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where was The Malevolent Midget Malcorra? Hiding in the ladies in case the 'M' word came up? Or with her 'team' appointed to help her be the next UN General Secretary?
Who GAF?
Macri blew away his best chance to soften the approach to the FI nonsense set up under TMBOA and Gollum and so far seems to have stalled somewhat.
At least Kent is fluent in Jibber-jabber, but is it the highest grade of super jibber-jabber used in The Dark Country? I think his Thai might come in handy, at least he could order a takeaway.
“At least Kent is fluent in Jibber-jabber....”

Nonetheless, the Argentine government policy of claiming sovereignty over the disputed South Atlantic Islands has not changed and President Macri and Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra have insisted that the Malvinas Islands remain a priority...'

Based on what??
Ah that Malvinas myth:-

Jul 25th, 2016 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You really have reached the limited of ignorance.
What is your point in using such unacceptable language in your comments? I am totally against the claims of Argentina viz a viz the Falklands archipelago and their lack of validity BUT the only way the problem is going to be resolved is by diplomacy NOT by your uninformed insults. “Jibber jabber” indeed to describe the Spanish language. Is that how you describe the language of Uruguay, your host country?
What a diplomat you are!
Che Gordito, compa, no es exactamente el castellano de Cervantes que hablan en Argentishtan.

I have no idea how he thinks I passed the theoretical driving course exam with a score of 93% first time when it's all in jibber-jabber?
I shouldn't goad the mentally weak but you have to laugh. :o)

Idiota much? Is that the limit of your knowledge of castellano/español?
Jul 26th, 2016 - 08:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But you didn't know that 'gordo' in jibber-jabber was FAT! As in FAThead and FATty, did you?
Jul 27th, 2016 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0So I see you are the ventriloquists dummy of gordo1, being gordo01 then?
You need to get a new 'vent', one with a brain and no RCC death wish.
Then you could at least start to enjoy life instead of being fixated with death only to find 'The Final Disappointment'.
But you won't even see that coming: you will be dead!
PS you 'live' and 'exist' within what passes as a brain for you. When all the electrical activity ceases within your brain you DIE. No Father, Son or Holy Spook to 'save' you, your 'faith' dies with you.
Now stop with the jibes about jibber-jabber (see what I did there) it's getting boring. Go play with your girlfriend, that will be enough to depress you.

Jul 27th, 2016 - 01:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just what is YOUR problem in regard to what you believe are my religious beliefs? I accept you are an atheist and so what? Why can't you just accept that I am what I am and leave it at that? I accept that you are a non-believer and it doesn't bother me - so why are you bothered by my religious status?
By the way, for your edification “jibber jabber” does not refer to a language but to a way of speaking! No doubt you transfer the jibber jabber(nonsense!) in your brain and then post on mercopress!
@ 14 gordo01
Jul 27th, 2016 - 06:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you recall, you defended the indefensible spouting from The Dope of an Argy Pope as if we should all 'respect the faith'. I see absolutely no need to respect a faith that systematically rapes young girls and boys, hordes billions of $ to itself and instructs it 'followers' to 'look after the poor and that is without the Brazil abortion issue which I know you do not support.
So basically the RCC push themselves as if they have the majority of the world with them: they do not.
When you are not under the influence of your 'girlfriend' you can post intelligently on many subjects but when it comes to the RCC you revert to what they want from their 'faithful': mind-numbing obedience. It's such a shame.
BTW, should you ever go to Uruguay you will discover for yourself that:
1) they do not speak Spanish, not even close. The daughter of my Spanish teacher went on holiday to Madrid and she was laughed at for how she spoke. It upset her very much and she will never return.
2) There are many, many sub-dialects throughout Uruguay, many in a small area of the town and they differ from another part of the town.
3) The so called poor are only poor because they never worked at school and then left at 15 YO before graduating to join their parents (who have never worked) in sucking up 'No Money Pepe's handouts. They have to get special permission to leave school bit it is never refused because of the disruption and thefts they cause. One 'poor' boy turned up at the 'special school' in Maldonado (and I am sure you know why it is special) with a loaded 0.38 Special revolver and would not hand it over to the Deputy Head (another of my teacher friends) and he had to call the police.
4) Then there is the confusion with the alphabet, it is unlike that specified by Madrid. B = B, V = B, LL = shahh , the y in playa is pronounced 'plasha' and it goes on. Bet you didn't know that, did you?
Jibber-jabber, I am being generous.
@14 ChrisR is mentally ill. The early stages of dementia often present as anger and irrational thought. As for his revolting language, he picked that up in the transport cafes he frequented as a lorry driver.

Hey ChrisR, do you think American's don't speak English too?

Jul 28th, 2016 - 07:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Where do we start? After reading this most recent post of yours we can all see why you love to use “jibber jabber” - it is nothing BUT “jibber jabber”!(As defined by English language dictionaries!)
1) Your approach to the RCC is just plain wrong. If you were to apply your criticisms to all Christian faiths then that would be logical but to just concentrate on one division of the Christian Church it is not! Furthermore the faults you find, regrettably, are not just confined to the RCC - as ElaineB and I have pointed out to you they are found throughout pretty well all other religious faiths but also in society generally. Indeed, the incidence of child abuse is far higher in the “civilian” population that in it is the clerical population yet you seem to specify the Catholic Church as the only offender. That is not to say that I or others condone the RCC - practicing Catholics are more offended by these evil acts than people outside the Church.
2) You state frequently that you have been in Uruguay for almost 6 years - yet you still employ a Spanish teacher? Frankly, that shows us just how thick you must be! And to suggest that a Uruguayan national could go to Madrid and not be understood is plain stupidity - if a person from Sevilla or Jerez de la Frontera(Andalusia) can go to Madrid and be understood then a Uruguayo or an Argentino or a Chileno can also be understood there.
3) In most Latin American countries local dialogue is often found and they are usually words from the indigenous peoples of the territories - in Central America, México, Colombia and Ecuador this is the case. Yet a Mexican can go to Chile or Argentina(or the reverse) and would have no difficulty in being understood.
3)The “c”, the “ll” the “z” when written are exactly the same in Spain, in México, in Uruguay whereever you go in the Hispanic countries. Pronunciation is another thing BUT with today's swapping of cultures this is not a problem! Unless you are the individual involved!
@ 20 gordo1
Jul 28th, 2016 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0The RCC are condoning child rape, forget what your girlfriend says, as usually she is wrong: look at Boston and their experience of the 'holy fathers' in their society, which is replicated throughout America, and see for yourself how it was condoned and the rapists actually protected by the Vatican. The numbers are also much higher, The Kracken was looking at the RCC reports (which I have read) and they are utterly false.
The cretins in the Vatican also claim that other faiths have higher numbers of abuse which is a bold-faced lie. So, as usual, get your facts straight.
I stopped having language lessons after two years but the teacher is still my best friend in Uruguay. I use the term Spanish teacher to hide her name from the likes of you and The Kracken.
Again, you miss the point about the teenage daughter: she didn't expect her language to be the same, she was upset because the arseholes in Spain laughed at her without attempting to help her AND they are supposed to be RCC prisoners the same as you. That was Christian of them, NOT.
Anyway, you and your 'son' are beyond help. You lie about me to other people, you suggest I bribe officials of the government without any evidence at all, so as of now I will not return you a post.
Just remember: you will be my age in about 13 years, I just hope you are treated the same by some other twat.

“You lie about me to other people, you suggest I bribe officials of the government without any evidence at all, so as of now I will not return you a post.”
When have I lied about you to other people? When have I suggested you bribe officials? what I ASKED was “How much did he slip the examiner for his 93% pass in his driving test?” This is a question not a suggestion! Or are you losing the capacity to understand English now? Silly billy!
So you won't return my posts - clearly that will mean I have succeeded in getting you to desist with your ridiculous nonsense about the Catholic Church.

Everyone in the world knows the English language originated in North America, and then North America established a colony (to this day), in some off shore area near Europe.
