That's the Argentine work ethic for you ;-)

You obviously have nothing intelligent to say. You seem to like childish name-calling more than facts. Really sad...

That "small section of youth" represents the whole. What I see on Gran Hermano reflects a way of thinking and acting that is prevalent among Argentine youth. You are really uninformed, my friend... And you obviously haven't read the article, which btw was written by ARGENTINE EXPERTS. Well...

bf4, The fact that big brother (which btw was a DUTCH invention) is also popular in the US and many other countries has nothing to do with what I'm saying. I think you are missing the point... What I meant is the Argentine version does a great job portraying the decadence of Argentine youth. The...

Do you really think so? I wouldn't be so sure... For one, I highly doubt many Argentines are fluent in other languages... Specially when the majority can't even speak proper Spanish... Have you looked at the Argentine youth lately? It seems you haven't... Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking such...

I was about to ask a very similar question... Where are the statistics that show the US is more violent than Argentina??? Also, I’d like to see the statistics regarding crime against elders, which you said is low here in comparison to other countries.

Are you saying that the media exaggerates crime or is simply making it up? Give me a break. Maybe if you asked the relatives of the victims you wouldn't be so skeptical... Besides, the same could be said about American media. Or have you not seen "Bowling for Columbine"?

Igor, Thanks for your response and no, you didn't disappoint me.What I meant to say is it is much easier for an American kid to get a gun than for an Argentine kid. In the US many, if not most, households own guns. That is not the case here.

bf4, Just because high school shootings and snipers are not as common here doesn't mean Argentine society is less violent. Keep in mind that guns are not as easy to get here as they are in the US. So that would explain why there aren't so many shootings. Besides, Argentine...

You're wrong. There are lots of Argentine names, most of them aboriginal. Anyway, I meant Spanish names as opposed to non-Spanish (foreign) ones.

Yes, Argentines are one of the most arrogant people I’ve ever seen. Most of them are extremely chauvinistic. Everything has to be Argentine… Until very recently, they wouldn’t even let people put their kids foreign names. Not sure if it changed though. But bottom line is they are an arrogant...
