Sure she's improving plenty.....if you call Argentina's slide toward becoming a dangerous, corrupt, bankrupt and repressive quasi-failed state like Venezuela an improvement.

K-Apoligists drank the Koolaid long ago. They are therefore incapable, like true believers everywhere throughout history, of having any awareness outside the rigid dogmas of official K doctrine. Argentina has become an Orwellian/Kafkaesque joke. Suerte chicos.

Argentina is an Orwellian/Kafkaesque joke to everyone except the K Koolaid drinkers.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people!" Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat. "We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” -Lewis Carroll, "Alice in Wonderland" Perfect...

And Argentines just eat that Freudian and Neo-Marxist crap up wholesale. The whole country is wacko in so many ways.

I think it's because she's a radical (read delusional) socialist idealogue just like they were/are.

Really? Then why does Chistina worship at the Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and Hugo Chavez altars?

Chicaargentina you've proven the point that Argentines are not open to criticism when you are not open to the criticism that Argentines are not open to criticism.

Enough with the cultural difference baloney. There's a cultural continuum of civilized behavior and we're all on it somewhere. Some human cultures are down there with New Guinea headhunters, Rwandan machete-swinging lip, nose, ear and amputators, and hand chopping, clit-cutting...

Yup...BA has the best ice cream and pizza (and some other foods) I ever ate. I like tango even though it really is a downer. BA is one of the dirtiest, most graffitied-marred (and I mean not just funky barrios but buildings that are beautiful architectural treasures), trash and dog...

That's why I call her "Chistina". Current events in BA is like good stand up.

Under the guidance of her whimsical majesty the Red Queen, (as in "Off with their heads!") Argentina is fast becoming just another Venezuelanized third world shit-hole. I have no use for it. Cost benefit analysis impelled me to get out for good about 5 months ago. In my opinion the roots of...

I agree Camberiu, Brazilians also have their faults, of course, as do we all, and some of them are the same as Argentines' (no surprise...they are both latin cultures after all). And yet my experience of the cultural tone and emotional ambiance of Brazil contrasts starkly with what I found...

"At the end of it all, it is not one economic system or another that results in economies not doing so swell. It is the government, and the people. It is the culture that is followed by these people." First, thanks Nico. Well said. For me it's the last sentence of your post that gets to the...

Amen, Eclair.

Bienvenido al mundo loco Argentino Off with their heads, eh Cris? We always get the government we deserve. Esta noche me voy al norte. Chau. Nunca mas.

Looks like there is no 2012 calendar?

I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you find in Santiago a place that is supportive and civilized. My experience was that in some areas when looking around I felt like I was in Portland, OR. It was the most first world place I've seen in all of latin america. Remarkably and happily they...
