    Fantastic. Now to watch the remaining (approx) 39,999,996 Argentines follow suit.

    BRITON: Unless you are a little original, not like that moron harrier.
    I must say that in my case, there wont never be a picture of me and my future boyfriend (if some day i have one), getting marryed, never never never, anyway i am very happy for the lagalization of gay marriage, it was the happyest day of my life, when i saw on the news that our congress legalized the bill, i was in the congress that day, i am total supporter of equality.

    BRITON.
    Why do you want malvinas only for you?, why dont you ask your self why do we claim for the islands?.
    The malvinas are not a caprice for us, we are not a nation of resentfull people who does not want to accept that lost a war, wich was absolutly ilegitmate, because it was made by a dictatorship, do you what a dictatorship is, how you ever suffered any dictatorship?, we did.
    The malvinas dispute is a serious and painfull issue, we can't take it frivolously, i have allways said, that we must find a fair solution for the three parts of the conflict, but at the moment there is a big intransigence in the three parts, that's why i think that the solution is so far away.
    Regarding the pharse that you typed, where did you get it?, on the other hand, in the u.k. gay marriage is legal too?.

    axel. If you call me names again, I shall have to respond in kind

    The malvinas issue is not a serious issue. It is not an issue at all. For two reasons. The malvinas DOES NOT EXIST. It is true that it sometimes printed on maps (in brackets) but that is a sop to the intellectually challenged. The territory in question is properly called the Falkland Islands. And the second reason is that it is British territory, inhabited in the main by people of British ancestry who intend to remain British and decide their own future. There is absolutely no prospect of the territory being handed over to a bunch of dagos with grandiose ideas 300 miles away. Get used to it!!

    Oh, and by the way, gay marriage is NOT legal in the UK. For someone who constantly reiterates his search for THE TRUTH, you really should do your research!!

    HARRIER: Only a moron with 2 neurons like you would think that the malvinas is not a serious issue, you can agree or not with our claim, but like it or not, we have right to claim for what we consider as our territory, get used to it, i prefer to claim as valid the knwoleadge of many british experts who know much more than you and i, and who i add for my survey.

    You ignorant and silly arrogant Harrier, why don't you ask the Malvinas Chamber of Commerce about the seriousness of this issue?

    Malvinas is NOT british, never was, never will be!!!

    Our government will do anything to presserve our rights, if that bothers you, then change your attitude!

    axel. You really are one of the most dimwitted apologies for a cretinous ape that it has ever been anyone's misfortune to encounter.

    Your so-called “survey” is a joke. As are you! I won't tell you to go away. You are free to post your lame-brained stupidities anywhere you like. As if anyone gives a fart about them, or you!

    As for “gorge”, were you around anytime your lot got their asses kicked? Probably not. You're just a useless gob of air. The Argentines! Best known for filling decent people's home with human excrement. Probably don't do it where you exist because there are no decent people. When are you going to quit farting out of the hole under your snout?

    Falkland Islands are British and will remain so until dagoland is no threat. Rule Britannia!! (Hurray for the captain and crew of HMS C

    HARRIER:
    Reactionary morons and ignorants like you, show their miserys all the time, when a clown like you does not have any solid argument to hold all the crap that you parrot everyday, the only one thing that you can do is insulting, so, dear harrier, keep on vomiting all your poison, it only makes laugh for a while, beside if my survey is a joke, you are underestimating too, the words of all those british experts that i add in my investigation, like i said before, you have a right to desagree with our claim, every opinion are respectable, no one is the owner of the truth, but what you can't do, is underestimate the knowleadge of diferent experts, who have academic level, if you do it, is just one more show of your idiot haughtyness, keep on watching you navel dear harrier, maybe in that way, you can feel you are the best of the world, imbecill.

    How can you say that the war was legal, because it was a dictatorship, are you saying then that WW2 was legal as that was a dictatorship, and what about the slaughter of six million Jews ,was that legal, sorry mate you cannot have it both ways,, as for the Falklands, [why do i want it]
    first of, the islands do not belong to me, they belong to the islanders, the islanders wish to be British, and that is that,, until the islanders change their minds, then that will stay, think of it this way, [if Chile] kept on threatening you, attacking you, and demanded that that Argentina belongs to Chile, how would you feel, do you not agree that the people of Argentina have a right to choose who they wish to be ruled by, in that case, the islanders with to be British,, perhaps the Argentineans would be better served if they had a different approach to the islanders, and treated them like humans beings, and free, only time will solve this problem, Argentina being aggressive just does not help. ??
    as for the little poem,, this was noted by a man in Soho, many years ago in response to a remark by a drunkard, and i thought it was a good reply, so i use it sometimes ???

    BRITON:
    I dont know who are you answering to, but if you refer to me, i affirm you that in any moment i said that the war was legal read my answer for you in my comment number 5.
    Regarding the claims of chile, if it has any solid and fair claim, then we will have to sit and discuss a fair solution that satisfys the rights of both populations, we still have some bordering disputes with chile, but they will be solved in any moment in a mature and pacefull way.
    Beside i agree with you when you say that my government should approach to the islanders, their opinion is absolutly relevant, but they should respect too that we have a claim on the islands, and that's why it's absolutly necesary to sit and find a fair solution that could respect the rights and the wishes of both populations, it's not an utopy, it's just a matter of respect, and good will of both sides.
    About the poem, i will try to learn it, it's nice, are you gay too, is gay marriage legal in the u.k.?.

    no i am not guy, just a normal guy that tries to give a normal answer [sometimes] and like others a bit witty,,,,,,, but to be fair, as said on the other blog, yes both must sit and talk, but it is Argentina that must except that if the islanders wish to be British, and go it alone, then Argentina must then say, ok, if that is your wish, we will respect that, and perhaps in the future things may change [probably not in our lifetimes] but if Argentina can except the islanders wishes, then at least you tried, and peace then can be restored, , and the Falklanders can get on with their lives, the future will be left to the future,

    Argentina has NO valid claim to the Falkland Islands.

    Argentina DID NOT EXIST before 1853. There is no principle of valid law that underwrites the inheritance of territory. There is no treaty ceding the Islands from Spain to Argentina. The so-called “claim” in 1820 by David Jewett was made by a pirate.

    BRITON:
    I respect very much yor posture, but i dont agree with you, i keep on thinking exactly the same of what i typd in all the rrest of my commnets about the sovereign dispute, but the good point is that unless i can have a mature debate with you, it does not happen with some of your compatriots.

    briton: Don't waste your time. axel is just a kid impregnated with propaganda. He pays lip-service to a mature debate, but as soon as he is faced with the real facts, including the Falkland Islanders' current wish to remain free of Argentina and British, he descends into insult and the same old Argentine propaganda.

    well this I suppose depends on whenever you truly believe in freedom and democracy, or dictatorship, and control of ones freedom, their are thus 3 countries with this problem, the British want peace, the islanders would like independence-peace-and to live in safety and trade with the free world, [and what is the argentine position on this ?]

    BRITON.
    Regarding your comment, what my country wants, is to defend it's rights on the malvinas, we are also a nation of peace, we could find a solution, i think it must satisfy the rights of both, and having good relations like what we have with all the rest of our neighbours, it's not an utopy, but with recent intransigent i dont think that we can arrive to a good agreement, i beleive that we will have to wait so much.

    well awaiting they will be, but you do understand that waiting will suit ,
    the falkland islanders , as their statute will be cased in stone, and yours will be on the waiting list, interesting.

    No axel, You might wel have a solution which suits you, that does not mean the islanders will like it, so it will wait forever.

    I wonder when is going to be the day that you understand what i am trying to say, and stop understanding just what you want, it seems it's allways a good startegy for you to play the victim.
    We dont have to tell the islanders what to do, what BOTH must do, is to find TOGETHER, a fair solution that satisfys the rights of BOTH sides, is it so dificult to understand?, will i have to repeat it?.

    This is what YOU don't understand, the islanders are happy. any change to this situation would make them unhappy. Therefore, it won't change.

    There is no fair solution for BOTH sides, Both “sides” are irrelevant, it's only the middle(the islanders) what matter.

    BRITON. ZETHE.
    If you say than only my side does not want to try a solution, then you are omiting important facts, firstly the islanders reject absolutly the posibility of discusing about the sovereign dispute wity argentina, their government parrots that they want to discuss many issues with my country, but the sovereignty is not on discution, with their posture, they show that not only my side does not want to try a solution, the posture of the islanders does not help neither.
    ZETHE: I respect your posture, but like it or not, our rights are as legitimate like the islanders's, that's why i will allway hold that the solution must respect the rights of both, read about international, not only the chapter of the un.

    your rights are rubbish, if you say the islanders rejected your offer then show us, i might remind you that back in the late seventies early eighties, [others will confirm this] the UK government offered you sovereignty of the islands and a lease back agreement was sought for say 50 years i think, to safe guard the islanders, BUT YOU REJECTED IT not the islanders, ??????/
