Yeah but SkyTeam got world's third best airline alliance three years running! (out of the three polled). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skytrax#World.27s_Best_Airline_Alliance

Fiscales like these marching for justice is akin to members of the current administration marching for good governance. http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/1-265694-2015-02-08.html

This is a complete fabrication. You are referring to asylum seekers arriving by boat to Australia. They are not illegals, on arrival their status has to be determined according to the international protocols governing refugees that Australia is signatory to. Agreed, with the qualification that...

It's interesting that the data that Pericles used to invent his earthquake fantasy (which is in fact an incomplete list of selected earthquakes of general historic interest) is from the same source (the USGS) as the complete data published on this thread and others to refute his argument. Data...

It's called moving the goalposts, a task at which Pericles has proven himself quite adept on this forum (actually Pericles can move goalposts, backpedal and contruct a straw man simultaneously, a cool party trick).

Actually inequality is a greater predictor of crime, as a glance at the crime rates of the Menem period will confirm. As for reasons why there wasn't a similar degree of media hysteria around the issue, that is an interesting point to ponder.

Well, the report has a methodology which can be reviewed (and which has several faults in my opinion but it is one source to utilise in order to assess what is happening).

Well many of the criticisms that were made two years ago when this map was launched have been made in this thread such as: 1. The fact that it was launched by a politician in the lead up to an election 2. The fact that there is no verification of the public input on the map (see rubber penis)...

Where in am I defending the recent lack of government crime statistics?

Yes, we would all like more detailed and more reliable statistics but that wasn't the topic and I don't see why it should preclude pointing out the dubious credibility of a cynical political exercise from two years ago.

Agreed, it was right in the middle of one of the worst inseguridad hysterias, remember the billboards with that escaping rascal having a giant map tac stuck in his hind-quarters by a giant justice-dispensing hand in the sky? Reports from provincia indicate he has done nothing on the very issue...

Is El Colorado wheeling out that old chestnut from the last mid term elections again for 2011 or did you only just stumble on it? I got bored with it eventually but there was some gold on there: They sold me fake drugs A knife wielding monkey is assaulting people and selling drugs, he is a...

No, the knackery. Perhaps they'll take the Dudester too.

Yes I have seen the PISA results for 2006-2009 they show modest gains in the three indices measured at percentages higher than the Latin American average gain over that period, Argentina's ranking is still unacceptable but from this evidence things have at least turned around and are moving in...

I stated that the majority of this investment has occurred over the last 2-3 years, I'm not sure what you don't understand about this. You still haven't elaborated on what results you expect to 'see'. No, a journalist working for a media outlet one would presume. If your aunt is waiting to...

What results do you wish to see? The majority of this investment has occurred over the last two or three years do you think it will be registered instantly or do you think it will take time as students who benefit from it come through the school system? I think there is much more to be done with...

Who is getting a free house? Those people paid for lots in the park, to who we still don't know and have repeatedly said they want pay for houses of their own. Go back to 2005 when a law, yes a law, was passed mandating the urbanisation of villa 20 where most of these people are from. Not a...

As those questions cut straight to the heart of the matter, I would not expect a reply of any substance.

All we can do is wait for Lilita to emerge from her enforced meditation to lead us towards the light - interesting that she is off to Mexico, maybe she'll come back with a plane load of disappeared and bankrupt the madres.

There is a long tradition of disinterment here, I wouldn't like to predict the reason but I am fairly sure Nestor will be dug up at some point, give it 5 or 10 years.
