NY Post: What's the deal with Buenos Aires?

For a country that has been through so much some really great people have come out of it.

Sorry I am just having a ball with this thread.

What is so much? Like one world war? Two? Major earthquake or natural disaster crippling a large percentage of the nation? Having two N-bombs dropped in its soil perhaps?

Everything that happened to Argentina were self-inflicted acts of stupidity. This is a blessed country. Where do people get the money to pay $100K, $200K, $300K for an apartment or home, cash, in which country in the world a Joe Average can have that amount of money at their disposal thanks to slightly marginal but otherwise legitimate work?

Opportunities are endless here. Argentina has been systematically trying to sink itself for the past 50 years and still bobs out and gets noticed.

Perhaps the problem is that. Argentina never had any major crisis to unite the entire country, creating a sense of belonging and a true national identity.

Thanks God for that, tango is a dance as it's a distinctive music and the contribution to this world is a mayor achievement without a doubt, instead the contributions of some other countries are nastily very good in exporting wars, oppression, propaganda and misery in a scale never been seen in this world before.
