Ah, well, at least your current President is kinda pretty (for her age) even if she is a Peronist. Dunno about nationalizing pensions, though...

Neh, she is a puppet of his husband. And the pensions... well, i hated her for doing that.

PD:That was a bit of offtopic, btw...

Haha, no worries. Anyway, I guess I do respect that Peron was very good for Argentina from an economic perspective...political, though, not so much.

I always did figure Kirchner was probably working closely with her husband. It's hard for me to imagine she wouldn't be. Though they are part of the same party, anyway.

Here in Brazil most people like the US. The problem is, hating the United States is a goddamm trend. It became cool when W. Bush fucked up by Invanding Iraq. And because like ignorant americans, british and anyone from any other country, they generalize about anything, really. It definatly does not help that some people here in Brazil are actually scared of the US. Just like i am scared of Nukes, they are scared of the US invading us to colonize the Amazon and the rest of the country or some insane shit that's equally ridiculous to that.

And yes, MT2008, it's a emotional issue that i'm scared of nukes. I got shellshocked last year when i saw the effects of a large scale nuclear war during the 1980s between NATO and the Soviet Union would do to the world and humankind. I got shellshocked for 4 or 5 months because of that. No joke. It fucked me up. I started sleeping in class and all that. It was horrible.

Um, wow, that's taking things a little too seriously.

Those projections of a Fulda Gap invasion are precisely the reason why WWIII never happened. If there hadn't been nukes, there's a better chance that Europe would have become a warzone again, with far more deaths. Nukes made sure that couldn't happen by being so horrible that nobody would ever use them...or take risks that might provoke their use by the other side.

But anyway, it's still ridiculous that you're THAT afraid of them. Personally, I love nukes. I thank God/Allah/science that we have so many of them because it means war between states is more likely to remain limited (if it occurs at all). Nukes have, indirectly, saved more lives than they've taken.

Well. I learned something today. Nukes aren't that bad. Thank you Matt.

Uh, nope. After reading it it seems that nukes are something that saved humanity. The irony is ridiculous though.
