    Good lord, this is a good example of crooks ( crony capitalists) getting arrogant. Two great examples:

    Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein: “I'm doing God's work”...(Making money by selling worthless papers)

    President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez: “God wants us to be socialists, God loves Socialism, God wants me to spread Socialism”.

    Really? You see, what they all have in common? They are not only power and money junkies, but those phony Progressives are using God all in the name of for them self. Jorge, if you don't or can't see that, you truly deserve the title che idiot.

    If the voices are telling you to do things then seeking psychiatric help sounds like a good plan...

    By the Way God save the Queen says your national Athem.
    And the right of kings from they got their power says “that they were appointed by God and were accountable only to God”

    “In God we trust” says the greenbacks

    Aha I do understand your point now.

    NicoDin you are a twit .... “God Save the Queen” is a request, albeit a case of hope over reason!

    I'm not aware of any British monarch claiming appointment by God recently ...

    “In God we Trust” is the same as crossing your fingers and hoping for luck!

    Bush and Blair probably thought they were acting in the name of god but even they would never have been daft enough to say it.

    Christina does think highly of herself.

    gdr ”Dab you are correct,the Falkland Islands are British Republic (not UK) must be God's will ! ”

    The Falklands are a self governing overseas territory of the UK and therefore have the Queen as their head of state. They are therefore not a republic.

    Your analysis of Commonwealth nations is simply gibberish. I recommend you tell the next Australian or Kiwi that you meet what your views are - then duck and run.

    18 jorge “Malvinas is part of Argentina, currently ocupied ilegally by UK and their squatters, just that!!!! ”

    If you and Argentina truely believe that, if you truely believe that the Falklander islanders are there illegally, and that the UK retaining sovereignty is illegal, then why oh why haven't you taken it to the ICJ?

    If you are so sure of your arguements and your claim, why are you afraid to take it to the international court?

    GDR you ignorance of constitutional structures of other countries including your own continues to astound me.......

    Monarch is head of state in several different countries, but the sovereignty of the people is supreme in these countries, if they wanted they could vote to get an elected head of state if they so wished, so it seems to me that monarch has no power.

    Now dear retard, if they were autonomous regions? Why on earth are they in the UN they seem to be independent states in my mind and everyone elses, in fact where does it say in any democratic hand book that you must have an elected head of state, or even have a head of state to function as an independent state? different democratic constitutional arrangments favor different countries, it's taken Argentina the best part of 200 years to get their chosen “superior” model squared away and even then Argentina's democracy is shakey to say the least, they have democratic elections but in between that democracy is out the window! Too much corruption and patronage and butt licking the Kircheners being the worst, the head of states husband being in charge of the legislature and several close family and friends being in charge of various degrees of government organs in the provinces? We might as well call the current Argentine regime the Kirchner Monarchy, because that is how she acts, divine providence I don't think a British head of state has said that since Charles I during the english civil war, and he lost his head, both mentally and physically!

    I think if you withdrew your ambassadors for that reason it would be construed as nothing more than anglophobic racism and confirm in many peoples eyes the idea that Argentina despite it's illusions of democracy still behaves in a baffling and irrational manner on the international stage.
