Jun 07th, 2020 - 06:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +1There is a big difference between listening to highly qualified and recognized professionals in their respective fields, and listening to a poor manipulated twerp who doesn't know her arse from her elbow...
At 15 she dropped out of school - great decision - and started her campaign in favour of the environment (just so you don't get the wrong idea - I have nothing against defending the environment, and a lot in favor of it) ;
But of course, now, at 17, she is the expert on many complicated subjects.
Reekie, you sound very optimistic about the world's future - “.......the signs of a better world that will eventually shape up, as it has in the past”.....“as it has in the past” ?
When, exactly ? or are you referring to random (short) periods of economic progress, which have done little on a world scale, to “shape it up”
And, if the world listens to a frustrated, misguided teenager, we are going nowhere, fast.
Nevertheless, I'm interested in knowing what your crystal ball has to show us.
You don't have to be an expert to inspire people. Plus it's funny to watch grown men and presidents getting triggered by a school girl.

Jun 08th, 2020 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is no doubt in my mind today that men should never allow for feminine tyranny to influence important decisions. They are relentlessly malevolent to deviously force their evil agenda upon all men. Historically it was clearly a terrible mistake of our forefathers to have allowed them the vote.
“A woman, a dog and a walnut tree —the harder you beat them, the better they be” Somehow that proverb has been misinterpreted by Madame Defarge as — un âne obéira comme un chien dressé si une femme le bat à plusieurs reprises avec un bâton... Evil, Mean and Effective...
I'm somehow resigned that I'm still harnessed to the marital yoke. I'm an admitted coward...
Instead of enjoying the beautiful solitude of the Aconcagua Valley, I'm currently sitting this cold morning in a waiting room at what is rated as the 2nd best clinic/hospital in Latin America. I just finished the first barrage of what is referenced as as a thorough complete examination. I still have another 5 hours of tests and and exams.
I'm reading the list of all the tests, that my doctor has asked and note the evil bastard specifically has requested for a Carbohydrate-deficient Transferrin and Liver Function Testing — which is to utilize direct biomarkers to determine when someone who consumes as much wine as myself — may have liver problems. (My proverbial goose may me finally cooked... or should I say gander.)
I feel Madame DeFarge has deviously used her harsh stick to beat me as a sacrificial jackass to the steps of la guillotine.
Anyway, I'm looking for the damn thing to be over with!
As I proclaim from my smartphone in this pristine modern dungeon of waiting: Trust no woman!

Science and common sense makes it perfectly clear that the virus is easily destroyed by intense exposure to sunlight and it thrives in the dark danknesses of subterranean lairs such like where dwells the subterranean asexual creature infecting this comments section.
Any student of modern literature will enthusiastically remember that in the book and movie 'Fahrenheit 451' — which used flame-throwers to effectively cleanse their society and gives me a delightful vision of a Modernized Socially Correct Fire Department incinerating the subterranean vermin as it clutches its “Precious” Long Dong Silver and it's bisexual inflatable companion bursting into flame...
...However, that's simply my wistful imagination, but I do know for certain that after a careful and exhaustive scientific analysis of Sméagol's war trophy mug (which the entire analysis findings will be soon published in The Scientific American), proves the mug from the historic Cuban Missile Crisis is actually a stolen 1987 3rd place prize trophy from 'The Durham Cup Stakes' annual Thoroughbred horse race in Toronto.
This is absolutely factual — and to again utilize the creature's assertion: “Since we don't know with an absolute certainty either way, and that I again have previously so indicated. While in the meantime, you are free to object to the authorship.”

Gollum. Its enlightening comments in reply to your “I've had NO wine ...” =>“ Your behaviour indicates otherwise as I have posted”....and “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser”...
To be expected .....his air of superiority stands out when you get to “...as I have posted”....is that to make it sound important ? ...but ok, who gives a rat's arse what he posted ?
This time he forgot to claim that the quote he incessantly repeats, “ad nauseam, ad tedium”, re the “tool of the slanderer”, belongs to Socrates....what happened ? did the penny finally drop ? And we all know what kind of “tool” the creature is into....I'll give a clue...something to do with 'Silver'...
As to referring to your wine as 'plonk', just proves his sublime ignorance....I wonder what Ma Gollum throws down the chute for him to lap up ?
Fact is, Terry does not HAVE a mug....he IS a mug.
Stink : finally out of his whisky-induced coma down in Chubut, he asks who can boast ”just one (1) honour or award equivalent or similar to any of those many....” received by the climate brat....
Lula, the 9-fingered toad can....he received titles of Doctor Honoris Causa, from several Latin American Universities, and obviously from all those that he altered the names of, re-inaugurated, then claimed to have created...(but that is another story).....and of course, from Universities in countries governed by his leftist buddies...
So we can safely conclude that his titles, as well as little Greeheettta's honours or awards, or whatever you want to call them, in essence, mean nothing, zilch. Just birds of a feather praising their own crap.

Really a high level of education is what results in personal success in my country.
As Mr. Hill has also been blessed with with a high level of education, I'm certain he'll agree, but again I would remind our colleague that some of us know the brutal grotesque fate Cicero incurred for his repetitive sarcasm. (I would describe it in detail, but I prefer not to ruin the civil discourse.)
With that observation, I would suggest Mr. Hill direct his quotations away from the bitter and self-destructive rants of Cicero and contemplate instead of the more pleasant commentary in the English language:
‘what we have loved
Others will love, and we will teach them how;
Instruct them how the mind of man becomes
A thousand times more beautiful than the earth
On which he dwells, above this frame of things
(Which, ‘mid all revolution in the hopes
And fears of men, doth still remain unchanged)
In beauty exalted, as it is itself
Of quality and fabric more divine.’

The real world, of which he rarely gets a glimpse of…except thru his tiny, barred window. The slop his Mum pushes down the garbage chute.
The fact his dolls fart when he squeezes them tight (he can bite LDS’s knob, no danger of it flying out the window).
The truths on serious sites which contradict his false beliefs.
That the 9-fingered toad is a convicted felon.
That Mourão did not serve in Haiti, far less under Gen. Heleno.
Criticism of his obsession with Latin phrases he himself does not know the meaning of.
Our making fun of his silly, incessant quotes ‘ad nauseam, ad tedium’.
That no one believes him.
That his ‘mug’ is a cheap copy of the ‘real McCoy’, picked up by his Mum in a flea market. The fact he does not have a College degree.
The fact that the RAF would not let him near the planes after testing him /concluding his IQ was, at best, compatible with lavatory cleaning.
That not all Brazilian toilets are holes in the floor, or have plastic bins.
The fact he can’t understand Portuguese.
That we don’t accept his lame excuses, i.e., it’s the author’s fault.
His forced solitary confinement, not only for his Mum’s sake, but the whole neighborhood’s. The slime that oozes out of his greasy pores and his bald head.
And last but not least, how the name Gollum has ‘stuck’ to him.
“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance.” Hippocrates”....just another example of trying to sound smart...
If Hippocrates knew that Gollum misused his saying, he’d be pissed off.
So, according to Gollum, anyone with an opinion is ignorant.

You are referring to 2018 statistics. Every morning by habit I check the exchange rate.
https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/USD-CLP-exchange-rate-history.html
You'll note the remarkable strengthening of the Chile Peso vs the US Dollar.
If you do a similar analysis of the Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) exchange rate history and factor national per capita income, you'll note that Chile has surpassed Uruguay.
I have great admiration for Uruguay and would argue they do enjoy a far larger percentage of their population pertaining to the middle class. (A few years ago, Argentina reined as first.)
Of course Argentina was arguably the 5th wealthiest country in the world a century ago.
Chile has prospered by having an independent central bank.

I should add to the above, Thanks to The Chicago Boys!
Yes, I have a license to practice two of my more pleasurable pastimes. (Not my absolute favorites, by far — but life would change if wine and skiing were taken away.)
Actually, Madame was not angry with me, as she needs a constant income stream to fund her grandiose farm kitchen aspirations. (It's become ridiculous now, but I've learned to allow her to do as she wishes.)
Do you see the wine market in Brazil now offering large discounts? The market here has practacily collapsed.
Finally, speaking of the exchange rate, it's good to see your Real is on the rise.
We are however here in Latin America facing one of the worst economic resessions imaginable. If copper rebounds, it will be a recession, but overall we will suffer well into 2021.

Well since the creature seems to be leaving a trail of meaningless posts, I decided to share a delicious use for avocado oil:
Jun 10th, 2020 - 08:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Avocado and Lemon Dressing
* 1/4 cup avocado oil
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 1/4 tsp lemon zest plus extra to taste
* 2 TBSP plain dijon mustard
* 2 cloves fresh minced garlic
* 1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
* A pinch of hot pepper flakes if you dare
1. Depending on the size of the lemons you have handy, you'll either need 1 jumbo lemon or 2 regular lemons to yield 1/4 cup of lemon juice for this dressing. Before juicing your lemons, zest 1 lemon into a small bowl and set aside.
2. Add dressing ingredients to a glass jar and tightly cap with the lid. Shake well
3. Juice your lemons and add to a small/medium mason jar. Start by adding 1/4 tsp of zest and half your minced garlic, as you can add extra after taste-testing.
4. Next add remaining dressing ingredients and close lid tightly. Shake to emulsify the dressing.
5. Give it a taste and, if desired, feel free to add remaining clove of garlic (We go with the full amount) and any additional lemon zest or seasoning you may like. Since the dressing is on the tart side you may sweeten the dressing with sugar/honey/agave/etc... if preferred.
6. Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, making it a great make-ahead option for the week!
We love olive oil and good quality wine vinegar is wonderful to use, but the above is really a favorite as it does not distort an accompanying wine selection and we have fresh year round lemons.

Chile suffered a similar upside-down economic fantasies during both the Allende and Pinochet mismanagements of our currency. That's why I respect how our democracy since 1990 has respected the independence of our Central Bank — solidified in the '80s.

Jack is mistaken as the creature-sockpuppet is far below your intellectual dignity.
As I've agreed several times, the economic disparity in my country is problematic. I also remember mentioning that the social unrest and riots early this year — would result with more of a disparity of economic classes. (I stated during the riots that the more fortunate segment would achieve greater wealth; and the lesser fortunate class would suffer greatly.)
What was unpredictable was a pandemic, and few anticipated the consequences.
Our small family farm has experienced 3 hard historical freezes during my lifetime — resulting in the entire loss of harvest. As I've been lately busily splurging on some property purchases — I've also remembered the possibility of catastrophic harvest loss, and yet the numbers still remain far on our side.
This is a rare economic curiosity, because normally the agricultural sector typically suffers the worst during crisis — yet in our particular case we are seeing the most profitable family earnings ever. (Assuming no catastrophic freeze.)
And yes, we're serendipitously seizing the current opportunities, as a result of this current economic collapse of many formally highly successful people — because “licensed piracy” does allow it. (I've been on the opposite side of the equation as well.)
Unfortunately, people I know personally are now facing complete financial ruin. Campesinos in the Aconcagua Valley are especially hard hit in their earnings.

Jun 11th, 2020 - 02:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To borrow a metaphor: Yes, THE SUM OF ALL EVILS!
Our wise democratic government, urged by idealist progressives guided our country to discourage foreign investment in increasing taxes on investment profits and embark upon moving our energy production to wind and solar.
Also, in an altruistic gesture — to bring in a Boeing 767 of unskilled Hatian immigrants, each day — resulting in floodinding the unskilled labor pool already heavily populated by our Latino cousins from Peru, Colombia and Venezuela.
That new clean green energy resulted in Chile having the highest electrical costs on the continent. Those increases were directly borne by our populace.
All those new unskilled workers resulted in depressing wages and higher unemployment and people became very unhappy.
Those new taxes resulted in less new building projects and less new business ventures... (I have a friend that in reaction to the tax changes, heavily invested in new table grape vineyards in Piura Peru because of the incentives given him there were better than Chile. There are also now Chilean avocado growers invested there for the same reason.)
I said during the riots earlier this year: Higher taxes will result for the ABC1 income sector.
We already knew that the unrest would result in an economic downturn, but the pandemic is a tremendous kick in the gut for everyone.
Somehow, and by pure luck, our family will prosper well during this storm.
Simple economics: Exporter grower costs are largely in pesos. Labor is plentiful. Earnings are mostly in dollars. Obviously taxes will increase. The net result is highly profitable.
Of course, in Argentina — they complicate the equation and results are those like a paragraph from 'Alice in Wonderland'
Who can predict the future? Révolution, labor strikes, earthquakes, droughts, poisoned grapes (remember that episode?), Argentine medfly infestations, plant-diseases, hard-deep-spring-freezes and pandemics... Or something...

Jun 11th, 2020 - 05:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those quico plata loving customers of mine only enrich the pockets of Jumbo supermarkets and all the other domestic distribution chains here. I however am thankful that I do reside in a country with the highest per capita consumption of my fruit in the world. There are times, when the demand is so great — Chile actually imports avocados from Peru. (Curiously, Chile has perhaps the highest per capita consumption as well — higher than Germany and certainly higher than France.)
The problem is that growers receive a small percentage of the domestically marketed profits. We suffer a similar circumstance with our few remaining wine-grapes.
However, as we actively participate in the export marketing of our avocados and table-grapes — the circumstances radically change. Unlike your government — our's here generously does not tax exports and only collects taxes only from returned earned income.
As you know, last year I over-invested in security. Some of my neighbors thought I was foolish. This year, I promised (in writing) everyone employed by our family that their income was guaranteed for this year, and assured those under medical leave would still receive 100% of their earnings. (Several of my competitors were pissed off with me at the time and again thought I was foolish.)
There's a wonderful metaphor in English literature for fools surviving disaster...

(Correction: Obviously Mexico has the highest per capita consumption of avocados, and Chile is second. Chile does have the highest consumption of bread in Latin America.)
The fragrant smell of Madam's preparation of today's délicieux déjeuner on this cool overcast day was highly distracting from factually writing reality. Same thing happens after half a bottle of a good red...
The current palta consumer price here is about CLP 3.000 per kilo (or about USD 3.90) Cuicos in el barrio alto pay around CLP 4.000, which is fine for the retailer who typically takes well over a 50% cut.
If the avocado industry had to market its entire crop domestically, obviously the market would collapse — as would our wine and the plethora of fine delicious types of fruit Chile has the ideal climate to produce.
The current globalist quagmire we are experiencing today where radicals are trying to re-enact 'Lord of the Flies' — 'Animal Farm' — 'The Brave New World' using Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' and it will simply result in just more chaos.

As far as economic progress, “a rising tide raises all boats” is complicated by the enthusiastic immigration policies of a well meaning president — that has flooded my country with a large influx of unskilled workers.

Nah, it's normal. Cities with a large population of minorities are more likely to elect Democrats and also more likely to have large BLM protests and suffer unrest.

My dear Gollum, if that doesn't sound like a huge sidestep to avoid the issue, I don't know what it is....but, a mistake is a mistake, in whatever form.
And I don't see what the law has to do with your ignorance.
Did you, by any remote possibility, even realize that you 'could' have replied to me in one, simple sentence, such as “I, Terence Hill, am a complete asshole, and thank you for correcting my many mistakes”.....instead of a 20-line paragraph filled with useless bs ?

“Jack, my reference of superior intelligence is like Screwtape’s nephew texting with his diabolical uncle.”
Yeah, have no reason to doubt Screwtape's IQ, but when he resorts to 'trying' to be witty and 'diabolical', he sounds as false as 'a USD 3 bill'. He'll attack simply for the sake of attacking, a lamentable trait of the human beast.
IMO, he just self-centered old fart.
“Gollum has amazingly refrained from degrading Brazilian bathroom facilities and also his inflatable dolls in frilly dresses. Perhaps he's become infected?”
Perhaps he's been too busy trying to understand where he's comitted grammar mistakes, and how to wiggle out them....a monumental task for an idiot like himself.....as to becoming infected with the virus, only if he's been sharing Long Dong with some other pervert.
As Chris Rock suggests, he longs for the day he can smash down the basement door and take over the ground floor.
When you mentioned his dolls 'n their frilly dresses, I noticed an increase in level of stress ...which prompted him to allege : “Sorry they are products of yours and JB's disturbed thinking that you both attempt to project onto others”.
I believe this would be a suitable response : -
“Since you provide no evidence for your assertion, I take it that it's simply your opinion. In other words, you're simply tendering your worthless word”
(where have I heard this rubbish before ?)

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder
Grandiose sense of self-importance
Grandiosity is the defining characteristic of narcissism. More than just arrogance or vanity, grandiosity is an unrealistic sense of superiority. Narcissists believe they are unique or “special”.
Narcissists also believe that they’re better than everyone else and expect recognition as such—even when they’ve done nothing to earn it. They will often exaggerate or outright lie about their achievements and talents.
Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur
Narcissists feel threatened whenever they encounter someone who appears to have something they lack—especially those who are confident and popular. They’re also threatened by people who don’t kowtow to them or who challenge them in any way. Their defense mechanism is contempt. The only way to neutralize the threat and prop up their own sagging ego is to put those people down.

Other nuances are far harder to explain, but during my vetting and extensive naval academy acceptance process, not only was my parents background privately investigated. In the interview process, they asked about my grandparents. (And yet, the commanding admiral was an absolute evil criminal.)
It's interesting that a cadet's religion was never in question, but you had to have a approved Priest, Reverend or Rabbi to recommend you. (Avowed atheists were unacceptable.)
One great thing about being a cadet — was we were completely equal and judged solely by our merits. That's still highly uncommon in our normal Chilean society.
(Socially unfair, but realist truth that accurately reflects my country.)
Jack, CS Lewis defined devious intelligence as Screwtape.

Definitely on a medical scale somewhere, no normal interaction/understanding going on at all.
It seems the endless Latin legal quotes prove (irrefutably no less) that the accuser has to prove his case or its false, never mind “not proven” for now, so far so good, but then he seems to equate a “not proven allegation” as a proof that what he says is therefore right.
All this missing the blindingly obvious that we are not actually in any kind of court.
We are blogging on a website, where I have not noticed any such principles applied, “Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy”, “Soma's Dictionary of Latin Quotations”, no doubt riveting reads, but for blogging, hello, any grownups home.

Just so you know, the rules her are, there are no rules, whatever you can get pass the mediator is good. Proof only exists when talking about data, some wit will always find some figures from somewhere, not mentioning any names DT.
Everything else is allegation, insinuation, opinion, contention or otherwise un-provable bollox.
No one is going to, or needs to, “prove” anything about your alleged deviant behaviour/fetishes, reportedly squalid living conditions, rumoured convictions/ questionable past, purportedly non-existent military career, believed toilet obsession, otherwise assumed general level of stupidity/complete inability to understand what is going on.
They are simply going to “put it out there” and watch you “bite”. It’s called “a taunt”. No proof of any kind or legal process involved, just entertainment value.
“So all the rules as pertains to what is 'true', should be disregarded on the basis your opinion, that vox populi reflects a greater truth. Horse feathers, that's absolute nonsense.”

Jun 15th, 2020 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong, this is a court of public opinion where the “vox populi” is heard, not pseudo legal/classical blither. As DT points out “There's 5 people posting in this thread, of diverse views, who agree only in thinking Terry is an idiot.”
You’re not winning!
As for the medical diagnoses, simply hours of entertainment, a competition no less who can get the grandest sounding “title”. Chicureo is winning.
This does not work in your favour.

To judge a kid solely by his/her parents' screw-ups, is a bit drastic....but as they say, the apple never falls far from the tree.....in Brazilian politics, it is common for families to form political dynasties, and in this context, “Like father, like son” has never been truer. Sons of corrupt politicians invariably turn out to be the same crap as their father. In a general sense, it's less likely to apply to 'common' people, but all depends on the circumstances... here they have another saying, “filho de peixe, peixinho é”...
I see that Gollum carries on providing us with the definitions of his insults.....how considerate of him.

“Sure inequality existed long before the Chicago boys, but other, poorer, countries than Chile have done a better job of reducing it since they were in charge”.
OK, if I have understood what you are saying, the Chicago Boy approach has been outdone by other systems....so, where and when exactly, only in order to visualize your idea.
And, I'm presuming that the places you have in mind, to back what you have said, are democratic and free-market regimes...
On the other hand, where inequality has historically always been present, I think that reducing it, comes down more to honest governance and a no-nonsense approach, than by this or that economic principle, alone....i.e., in a free country, it's no use following Friedman or Keynes - or any other policy - if the government is not interested in doing what it was elected to do, or if there is no long term plan to stick to.

Helps explain why inequality is still so high.

More like one system might be better for increasing total wealth and another for increasing wealth of the poorer section of society. IIRC Argentina is more equal than Chile but always seems to be suffering financial disasters. Uruguay perhaps has similar policies but without the regular screw-ups. Besides, how do you compare eg Brazil and Chile? Brazil has higher inequality but it has fallen more quickly.
But I agree that when the government is corrupt and/or ineffective, then it doesn't much matter what system they are trying to implement, it's not going to work out well.

Terry just doesn't get it. He's like those cargo cultists who build something plane-shaped out of random materials and then expect it to fly. He's seen that people make arguments, accuse others of fallacies etc, but doesn't understand what an argument actually is, or the different contexts of a courtroom vs a formal debate vs chatting on a forum. So he treats it like a word game: if he can find a quote with the words he wants, then the context or meaning is irrelevant and he's 'won'.

Jun 15th, 2020 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's pretty hard to Compare Chile and Brazil, reasons being, IMO, that Chile's population is infinitely smaller (18 million today ?), and about 2 million slaves were brought to Brazil during the colonial period and up to abolition (1888)...and during that time, that number must have increased considerably......the 1890 census has Brazil's population at about 19 million, which means a high percentage back then were of African descent, who were largely ignored by government....there was no effort by government to integrate them into society , so they naturally formed the basis for the tremendous inequality that exists a century later.
Chile, afaik, never had African slaves....
The notion that inequality has fallen here, is not real.....don't lap up the leftist spin that it did.....people leaving poverty here, do it on their own merit, not because of a few crumbs from the government every month.
D'you think Terry believes the world is flat ? would think so, as LDS never rolls out of his reach....and, he's never been out of the basement. He must get confused when darkness turns to light, outside....
