Actually Argentina comes in 44th in the world for female smoking prevalence with 23.5%. Topping the charts is Nauru with 52.4% The cigarettes here do seem extraordinarily cheap relative to wages. According to the same study, Argentina has one of the lowest costs per cigarette in the region...

There is no misinformation - I have provided the link. You are referencing the last major global study of road fatalities before the 2009 WHO report which I am referencing. I asked you that if you are looking at more recent, credible or comprehensive global road fatality data to please link to...

You mean a false report about nuclear weapons in Iraq (not a statistical analysis BTW) invalidates all statistics? Or does this only apply to the statistics which run counter to your own points of view? Could there really be some shadowy world government hell bent on manipulating global road...

Really, Samson and Delilah proves that the Australian aboriginal population has the second worst standard of living in the world? Does it also prove that the Chinese have the worst? Please explain how.

As often seems to be the case with you Pericles it depends on whether one constructs ones world from hearsay and vague notions of how things should be or facts. Like your comical claim that the Australian aboriginal population has the second worst quality of life in the world after China - I can...

The more pressing issue is why should such an institution mediate in the union of any two individuals (and why on earth do homosexuals wish to be blessed under an institution that has shown hatred for them throughout history?). This should solely be an issue for the two (or more) parties...

...and nationality no doubt.

Just to show that stupidity transcends partisan politics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx7CfSCTpgU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ3LrwFL9oQ

You can't be serious, the narco's map (if its useful for anything) is probably best used as a map of the intersection of hysteria and internet connections in BA. There used to be a blog keeping track of the amusing entries ('they stole my socks and threatened me with a rubber penis') but I think...

or how about balloon tours of 1-11-14?

Yes, but all who take the tour are tourists, what is your point? There is of course no real difference, travellers are just tourists who think they're better than other tourists. See if you can get a tour of the offices of one of Mauricio Macri's staff.

Many died remaining in the south of the city during the yellow fever and cholera outbreaks of the 1870's, many black males were sent north to fight in the Guerra de la Triple Alianza and thus the remaining females tended to mix with the criollo population (they say a significant number of...

Actually neither are true - they rank last consistently only among OECD countries and I'm pretty sure several countries rank higher on private contributions per capita as foreign aid, I'm pretty sure Norway is one but can't remember the others. Still, certainly it does seem to articulate the...

In the past 2-3 years there have been steady numbers of immigrants from Senegal, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Cameroon, Guinea Bissau and Ghana - they mostly live in shared houses in Flores or in the Hoteles Familiares in Constitucion - I know there's at least one afro barber among them but I can't...

Well it's actually neither - it consistently ranks last among the OECD countries but still higher than many others and I'm pretty sure Norway and a few others rank higher on private donations per capita to overseas aid but still, yes, it seems to say a lot about American individualism and...

That wasn't what was originally being referred to but cheers, do you have any links comparing all countries on this figure?

The Philippines, Cuba, Korea, Greece, Vietnam, Congo, Iran, Guatemala, Laos, Cambodia, Libya, Sudan, El Salvador, Grenada, Honduras, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chile, Panama, Haiti, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Angola... I'm probably forgetting a few here but anyway, I'm not entirely sure...

erm, yes, but that's already been stated here. If you want to compare countries with each other you have to use a statistical measure and in this case ODA as a percentage of GNP is generally agreed as the most useful.

...and consistently ranks last among industrialised countries in Overseas Development Assistence as a percentage of GNP.

Getting back to my question, I was actually just interested in this statement: I find this period of Argentine history fascinating and often framing it within traditional European political templates proves problematic. I haven't heard Peron's election in 1946 referred to as a semi-coup (nor...
