Well considering my BA is in International Relations I'd say I've opened quite a few books, but thanks for the advice. You speak as if refugees are a naturally occurring part of nature, and not the victims of theirs and other states actions. The United States and other nations have created...

All the skepticism and suspicion invested in to the CIA, NSA, MI5, etc. wasn't enough to stop 9/11, or the Boston Bombing, or the Anthrax mail, or... you know what, now that I think about it, we weren't able to stop the AMIA bombing, or the Lockerbie bombing or My Lai, the Holocaust, the...

I understand how the asylum processing in the Schengen zone works, but it's all in theory, the reality is that people desire to be around others they are similar to. Why does this forum exist? Expats/migrants/immigrants/refugees/average joe likes to be around people that have similar traits to...

Yup, there are some greedy opportunistic people pretending to be refugees and some actual refugees that aren't grateful, just like you will encounter everywhere, from every crisis past, present, and future. But facts and history be damned, if you have an agenda then a crisis such as this is a...

It's only freedom of speech if it's pro dear leader, otherwise you're a mouthpiece for neoliberalism

To be fair, for those in the middle class or wealthy things are *generally* are fine, my point about development isn't so neoliberals can have a field day, or companies can have the GDP of African nations like in the States, its so that those on the margins, the plurality of Argentines, don't...

There is no past, no future, just Peron... But, I think the thing that best summarizes the issue with the inability to be governed is something my Argie friend said: Me: "The shame is you guys have a country with so much potential, yet it's wasted and it could be developed, wealthy and like a...

Later part I agree with, but then there's this: Dólar Blue o paralelo COMPRA 15,900 VENTA 15,950 ♫ no llores por mi Argentina, al pulsar el botón, me sale dólares ♫ In all seriousness we have entered a recession and our dollar is no worth 75 cents USD which sucks for folks like me, but our...

Yet worse than many schools in the United States and UK. Yanquis/Pirates de mierda, right?

I'm not saying the work is easy, but I would easily put them, bad grammar aside, in the K camp. They will often write or post quotes from Ks/FpVs as fact, albeit with quotation marks, but little in terms of commentary or fact checking their claims. Just click on any article lately involving...

Am I the only one that finds it difficult to read, as if it were thrown through a slightly smarter version of Google Translate? They also desperately need an editor, as in the grammatical kind. One time I was so annoyed I copied their article to MS Word, bold/highlighted/marked with red the...

Here's an example I've encountered while visiting this week: I visited the casa Rosada with one of my friends who is Argentine. We chose the castellano tour as we didn't want to be patronized and desired the whole casa peronismo experience. The woman mentioned the times, and we discussed them...

It would explain a lot...

Really? Maybe because I'm gay I had a different experience, but I found the opposite amongst myself and friends. My former roommate seems to meet guys who are super flaky, only looking for sex, and have no desire to seriously date, while for myself, I could meet guys for one night stands, but...

Whatever drugs you're on, the Kirchenerite thing to do would be sharing them amongst the more fortunate of the board.

There isn't an author, its based on the polandball meme. There's thousands of them on Argentina and Brazil too.

Yeah, typical American/European anti Nepotism inperialism...

This sums up the thread nicely

You're kidding right? As I previously stated, I'd love to be an ambassador but my age and lack of professional experience means I should not be considered, and if nominated, the correct thing to do would be politely decline. I also don't get the "sympathy" for this woman. She could say no...

I criticize them because I'm sick of our culture of paranoia. The terrorists, the fluoride, GMOs, death panels, etc. I'm not saying don't be critical or question authority, I'm just saying its bad the amount of paranoia and fear that seems to dominate peoples lives. If you watch the local news...
