Disclaimer & comment rulesTotally absurd. None of these persons are actually living there. How is it possible for a person, such as the veteran Osvaldo Hillar, to register a false, non-existing, address in a place there he has never lived? Is this really in conformity with the election laws of Argentina?

Aug 12th, 2019 - 10:29 am - Link - Report abuse +4This makes a mockery of the Argentine electoral system if people are able to register with false names and false addresses. I would think the Electoral Commission or the UN watchdog on such things would deem this to be electoral fraud and the votes should be declared null and void.

You're all simply unfamiliar with the notion of excusing your unjustice and unethical actions, by justifying yourselves with obedience to the law. Argentinians have a palpable very human sensible awareness in their society, that the law is used by its creators for situations that we need order and guidance, and so it does not rule us like a machine would rule a blind ox, we use it for obtaining the righteousness we still know how to seek. That's why countries like Britain and the U.S. are so corrupt and unfair underneath the appearance of a well polished orderly society. You use the law and the idea of “rules” to have a mechanism by which to cheat while “technically” no one can say you do.

Sometimes people even break the law as a form of protest, but in that case they are prepared to face the consequences. If you allow people to ignore the law they will break it for their own benefit, not for 'obtaining righteousness'.

Just curious.
England will return the Malvinas within 25 years.

Aug 19th, 2019 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse -1England can't return the Malvinas because:
Aug 19th, 2019 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) The Malvinas doesn't exist
2) England doesn't own whatever it is you are mentioning
3) The Falklanders will decide about the sovereignty of the Islands if it ever comes to a discussion.
4) The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory so any discussion about that land mass will be with the British government if it ever comes to that, which is highly unlikely.
England will return the Malvinas within 25 years.
