OMG - I would pay good money to watch that and see the reactions of onlookers. That would be so much fun.

$800,000 cash in a suitcase from Hugo Chavez to fund Kirchner's campaign in 07? Millions in K-Money embezzled from the people of Argentina for personal gain? Seems like foreign interference and 'sedition' to me. Apparently, sedition is a pre-requisite to become vice president!! oh and don't...

I'm not sure as a Brit, I would come here to teach English. Argentine people still remember the Malvinas war every year. Those wounds don't seem to heal Which is ironic, because if there was another Malvinas invasion, the Argentines would be much better off. and by another Malvinas...

Lol. Its ok Frank. Hey Red- I'm thinking of running for office once I get my citizenship (joke). I'll give you all the 'salt' you want.. You know... in exchange for your vote. After all, when in Argentina...do as the Argentines...

I guess I could just build myself a scale and grow some tomatoes if I want them, but why should I make the effort? After all, all I have to do is pretend that I am weak, helpless and totally incompetent.. and the corrupt politicians will offer to steal things from hard working people, and...

But I want cheap tomatoes and a free scale! I will vote for whichever candidate promises to nationalize that evil company and gives me a free scale; and promises to impose provincial tomato export restrictions so I can have cheap tomatoes in my village. Afterall, why shouldn't I have a free...

Ok. You might be worthy of toleration.

Did Reddit Argentina claim to be a "paragon of good taste and objective scholarly debate"? How smug and condescending.

I was referencing the quoted remark by toongeorges, not the initial event topic of the thread. I believe I even "quoted" toongeorges remark. Sometimes conversation flow happens that way. Toongeorges got it; and he/she/ze replied appropriately. If you think my snark about the Argentine...

Please excuse my harsh, inappropriate words, Somewhereinba. I can be a bit savage at times and was never properly house trained in the first place....

So the EU has quality standards to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs/vaccines. Companies A,B,C, and D all went through the safety trials and quality tests to get approval. Company E did not engage in the safety trials and efficacy tests to gain approval. Country A decides to buy Company...

can you please elaborate? who is being discriminated against?

Please invest! We love investors! Ok, you have invested everything? You are no longer an investor, now you are a vulture capitalist. We hate vulture capitalists. We seize your investment. Please invest! We love investors! Ok, you have invested everything?....

I certainly wasn't using the US as a shining example. I also didn't claim that democracy wasn't better than the alternatives. I was making a more subtle, sophisticated point than you are 'straw manning' me out to be. Let me simplify: Mandatory voting + meat payoffs = bad voting outcomes.

Yes, sir. I was being sarcastic. In most democracies, voting is voluntary and only those who care - turn out to vote. When voting is mandatory and not voting is a punishable offense, all the idiots turn out to vote....like the ones who can be swayed on how to vote with cheap meat...

Lets make voting mandatory in a country full of uneducated, superstitious masses of people - steeped in bitterness and resentment of success. Lets appeal to their worst instincts and enact pre-Ricardian economic policies that makes people 'feel' good while sending them all back to the 1700s...

I am in a rural, agricultural province. I hope the local governor bans exports of produce to other provinces to keep the price of fruit and veg low here. You know...to fight local/regional inflation. You 'big city folk' need to grow your own damn food. Quit your stupid advanced tech jobs...

Actually...nevermind. Please disregard anything/everything I've written. I've just perused through some of your other postings.... You problems all seem to emanate from falling under the spell of one magic coochie. As a gay man I have nothing to offer.

Lots of life questions for you to answer. I'm hesitant to wade into this much further, but... Have you befriended -or considered befriending- a local grandma there in your neighborhood? Someone who has observed multi-generations of child rearing in that environment? Might have some valuable...
