I was proficient in Spanish before I got there. I understood all that lunfardo and tumbero you sent to TL. I understand 'verse' as well. My friends were mostly prostitutes, who are the only remotely honest Argies. I never met a single male Argentinian that I liked in the long run, probably because their arrogance is exceeded only by their uselessness, and you can't trust them as far as you could throw a piano. Look at how Peróand attempted to create a self-sustaining economy. His attempts failed because all the resulting products were of ridiculously low quality. Maybe if you would take the cigarette out of the one hand and the mate out of the other hand, you might be able to find your ass long enough to produce something of value. But probably not because in five minutes you will need to take another coffee break and this time it will take you an extra thirteen minutes to eat a bunch of silly, stale, flavorless cookies.

How many provinces have YOU been to?

Could't make in Argentina? Nobody talked to you when you were trying to get into that society? Frustrating eh? Were they constatly asking you where were you from? (I am Superman! I came to saved the world!). Don't win Argentinian chicks being like that. The closest you got to Argentinian society was paying an street walker? Were you ignored?

Why are you so mad? Mr. Traveling the 24 provinces! What did you do in Argentina?

You could click on any one of the many sources I provided, and then you could read that source, and since you only believe what you have read then your beliefs could easily be corrected. Your contention that Yiddish is 65 years old is so laughable as not to require further response other than to to point you towards further study.

Miami Bob, where are you now that we need you? One of Yahweh's sheep has strayed from the flock.

The Language that was invented in the Death Camps may not have been Yiddish but it was NOT Hebrew or Yiddish; it was "Help Me" in any fucking language!

I only believe what I have read DH, and Yiddish is about 65 years old; it became a language when all the Jews were put in the camps. I may be wrong but how can you explain the FACT that the interned were able to communicate in so many languages? TL

Dude, have you been eating fucking glue again? Or was the Catholic school that you attended La Virgen de Guadestupe? That is like the most inaccurate statement on the face of the earth. Allow me to enlighten you:

Lunfardo and Tumbero is only for the lowest of the classes,"Prison Slang" for the Negrada that permiates this beautiful city.

Don't get me wrong, Yiddish was born when the Nazis put all the Jewish people together in the camps; the Poles, Gypsies, Germans, Hungarians, etc, created a modern day Ebonics. Yiddish is only about 65 years old but Hebrew is 1000's of years old. This a a fucking Socialist country and along with that you get the inherent problems associated with Socialism.

On PAPER, Communism and Socialism work perfectly, but when it is applied it reeks of Corruption. A s a child when I received a gift that was marked " Industria Argentina " I cringed because I KNEW that it was a piece of shit. At times I am embarrassed to say that I am an Argentine!

In Italy the W. O. P. S have a half liter of wine during their lunch per union laws!

Fuck ALL!

Seems that you could not make in Argentina! So you are proficient in Spanish and Argentinian dialect and culture just being there for seven years? Who were your friends?

You are a genius! Should working in the UN as an interpreter!

How many provinces have YOU been to?

[Caricoso]

Yes, I do tend to evaluate things based on my own personal experiences.

I am not Argentinean. Good things about Argentina: Foz de Iguazú, La Ruta de Siete Lagos unless it is still fucked up with the volcanic ash, Salta, Fanne Foxe. Just because it has a lot of physical beauty does not mean it isn't all fucked up economically. And a lot of the formerly good things have disappeared, such as good cheap steaks and $5 Clarin hookers.

No; I lived there for almost seven years but I left because it got too fucked up. Yes, I am fluent and in the dialect. I understand the essence and character of the society quite well, and it is deeply flawed. I also have a degree in Latin American history and have studied the Argentinean economy extensively. I fucked over 500 Argentinean women which also gave me an in depth cultural understanding.

A lot of my Argentinean friends are embarrassed by the corruption and inefficiency.

But it doesn't have trash and dog shit everywhere and the merchants are nowhere near as dishonest. I lived there and did not like it. The food and weather are both terrible and the women are worse than American women.

I have been to all those countries you mention. I have also been to every province in Argentina, every Spanish speaking country in South America, and every continent except Antarctica. Argentina has the most unfulfilled potential of any of the 34 countries I have visited.

I have no idea what this means but what did Argentina ever do for Europe? Sold them meat in WW I? They sold meat to BOTH sides. And I guess Italy did not get the memo since they tried to seize Nestor's airplane. I will acknowledge that it was really sweet of Argentina to let in all those people. Like Mengele for example. Or Eichmann. Seriously, though, Argentina's immigration policy was pragmatic and not magnanimous. The country needed to be populated. Many parts of it still do. It is nice that you have this childlike naivete, though. It sort of reminds me of Mafalda.

Yes, the argentines are very nice people sometimes, in fact so nice that Juan Peron gave Heinrich Himmler 8000 BLANK Argentine passports to fill in as he wished. Argentina declared war on Germany about 2 days before the war was over, I think. Hell, in 1946 in Belgrano my mother's German teacher spoke PERFECT German. My grandfather, scratch that. I agree that Argentina is a gorgeous country with beautiful women and I am so happy that I was sent here for free but if you don't live in a high-rise in Puerto Madero you are VERY vulnerable to be a victim of crime.

My resto on Cordoba and 9 de Julio was broken into and the bad guys carved to " Boquetes" into Latin Express, sort of like Western Union. I immediately called Cronica and when Chronica comes EVERYBODY comes! I was on national television on 5 channels for 6 days! Great advertisment! FREE except for what they destroyed and stole from my lockers. The worst part about it is that I know who did it but he or one of the guys is in La Brigada so I was scared to death to testify.

Don't get me wrong Costco, sorry but I can never remember your name; this is a GREAT place to be if you have a Few Dollars More!

And what about barbedwire, dulce de leche and traffic lights?

Barbed wire and traffic lights were invented in the United States, although traffic LANTERNS were first used in England. Don't know about dulce de leche. A town in Iowa is named after the inventor of barbed wire, Joseph Glidden. Álvaro Obregón used barbed wire formations to defeat Pancho Villa at the battles of Celaya and León, which turned the tide of the Méxican Revolution away from agrarian reform and towards an economy revolving around export agriculture and extractive industries.

I don't judge societies for the economic trend but for its trajectory.

Good things about Argentina: Iguaz.

Do you live in Argentina? (Maybe you do!). Speak the language fluently (dialect included!) in order to communicate and understand the essence and character of the society you are living with?

Do all the Argentines are saying that Argentina is an "Fk-up" country? Or just pointing out the problems they are experiencing (just like people living in many others countries)

I am a very realistic person when it comes to solve problems, and although I agree with you that Argentina is facing lots of challenges, so other countries as well.

Talking about losing ground? How about Britain? What it was and what it is.

I was reading a book a couple of years ago about the "decadent society". British point the view of how things were changed in his "Empire".

Argentina is beautiful, so it is Germany, Australia, Venezuela, USA, Uruguay, and the rest!

As Goethe used to say. You want to know more? Well travel my friend!

[/QUOTE]Argentines?

I remember when I was about 10 years old, an my father with three kids trying to make both ends meet and during a Christmas Eve, the landlord of the apartment he was renting, came to him handled a bunch of "pesos" and said This is for you to buy gifts for your kids!

That is how bad the argentines are, and my 'nano' personal point of view to qualify a country. A country that is so bad, that before, during, and after both World Wars people from all over the world (mostly "old" Europe) came to the welcoming country of Argentina and stayed there for the rest of their life.

Travel to Belgrano, Barrio Norte etc. And see how many embassies there are. No bad for a country that is so "Fk-up"!

Quote: I think it was Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (Ex prime minister of Spain) and representing the European community at that time, when Argentina had the 2001 crisis, and Europe was in good shape. He said (paraphrasing) We won't abandon Argentina. We will never forget what it has done for Europe.

I don't judge societies for the economic trend but for its trajectory.

[Dickhead]

It seems to me that you qualify a country based on what you see, or what is happening to you. If that's the case, is a narrow point of view to write statistics of a country.

I don't know how much of an Argentina you are since you don't say anything good about such a wonderful country, although you're partly right but not enough to qualify the entire country.

If it's not proper Castellano then I probably have never heard it or studied it, my Spanish vocabulary is limited since I left here when I was 6 months old.

Thanks for the Lesson!
