I don't have me exploitation history books in front of me. What did we do to them?



I don't recall anything. Did we overthrow a government? What do they have to exploit?

"When I ask like how, exactly, has US exploited Argentina the details get suddenly very sketchy."



Funny how that works, isn't it? "Exploited by the United States" comes from the same intellectual and philosophical place as "manipulated by the Jews."

Default Re: Excellent Point

Yeah, I should have been more specific. I'm talking about the smaller motors, and I really only mean comparing their 4-strokes with those of their competitors, not comparing them to 2 strokes. Their smaller 4 stroke outboards are are very reliable, which is a big deal for me in an outboard.

As far as I know, and I know a lot, you never exploited Argentina. There was this one US naval ship capitain who went to Falklands (yes, them) around 1830 and kicked briefly some ass there but was not a big deal.

I'm 26 and ride a Buell. Wouldn't have bought it if it didn't have the sporty engine.
