Jun 13th, 2009 - 10:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0About malvinas, its simple, the people in those islands born in the north hemisphere(mayority of population and government) and their passport were made in the uk and if you read it it says they are british citizens. Thats enough, so why should Argentina give sovereignty for free to people who didnt even born in those islands in first place.
My dear amigo Luis. Our nation is so indoctrinated and deluded. Please feel free to research your own personal history, in particular the migration of people seeking work from Europe at the turn of the century, in particular the inhabitants of Gallecia in Spain, Italy, Britain etc.. The indiginous population of South America are the only people who could have any claim to any land. Britain and Argentina should allow the islanders to live in peace, with their right to self determination with support from who they want. Argentina as a nation should concentrate on resolving its own problems as a priority, and make friends with all its neighbours, then other surrounding countries may start to gain some reasurance from that stability. The constant claim for the Malvinas/Falklands, is like a spoilt boy wanting to be the only one with the football, and excluding all others ... no wonder all the countries in South America dont trust us!
Jun 14th, 2009 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0well in that case why dont you drop your claim to antartida? no matter who discovered them we inhabitate antartida more than anyone else. so our cientific bases should have selfdetermination rights?. And if we ask them they will want to be argentines so why dont you respect antarticans selfdetermination rights that they want to be argentines and drop your colonialist claim. With that premise all antartida should be ours.

Jun 20th, 2009 - 06:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You already have a claim on Antarctica: Antártida Argentina? The only reason the people at Argentine bases there don't have self-determination is because of the Antarctic Treaty System. Who knows what will happen in the future though?
The situation in the Falkland Islands is completely different and what has happened in the Antarctic has no relevance.
Un saludo
Luis,
