Nov 12th, 2010 - 08:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0wow MercoPress deleted my comment and now, not a single trace left of my dead comment. I thought that President Mujica has said that freedom of speech is so important...
Nov 12th, 2010 - 08:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe there was just too much Spanish in your comment?

Nov 12th, 2010 - 11:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0xbarilox , Cant even speak English, just rude and insulting words in a foreign lingo , That’s why they were deleted,[ Freedom,] you don’t even understand the bloody words, And its that Freedom that you want to take away from the Falkland islanders, Perhaps if you were a bit more nicer to people, you may just start to understand what freedom really means .
Nov 12th, 2010 - 11:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was not just an insult, it was in Guaraní. it was a nice one.
Nov 13th, 2010 - 12:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0xbox, you show your true colours, why must you be nasty? Are you a Malvinist?
Nov 13th, 2010 - 12:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Everybody has true colours!
Nov 13th, 2010 - 02:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not a Malvinist not a Falklandist, I'm just a guy who loves to talk about everything, I hate that of “there is nothing to talk about” It sounds like “this is taboo”. It remembers me of Videla, Massera, etc., people who loved to say “there is nothing to talk about, so shut it, or you'll see what happens”. It's 2010, taboo is such an old fashioned excuse. So don't use it anymore, please.
” It sounds like “this is taboo”
Nov 13th, 2010 - 04:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong. it's not taboo.
ok. lets try this from another example how would you feel if spain decided to claim Argentina?
Without the whole nonsence, i would like an honest answer.
you proberly won't get one,Zethee
Nov 13th, 2010 - 10:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0so you like to talk eh xbox? why don't you explain to us why you've got such a problem with Chileans then?
Nov 13th, 2010 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0English the official book ”The Annual Register (London 1833), which contains an overview of world events of 1832, commenting on the Argentine-American conflict, implicitly recognizes the sovereignty of Argentina, to express the following: ”..... the Republic (Argentina) was in some danger of collision with the United States, because a U.S. warship destroyed a facility owned by the Republic, one of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
Nov 13th, 2010 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The annual regiester is not an official book. Although it was accurately recording reports from South America. The American Captain of the Lexington had carried out an anti piracy action in the waters around the Falklands. The US captured a number of Argentine pirates working for Louis Vernet, destroyed their armaments and liberated their slaves and recovered the pirated American property.
Nov 13th, 2010 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No mister. Vernet had orders from the Argentine Government.
Nov 13th, 2010 - 08:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Annual Register is not an official book. No matter.
What matters is what it says. Mister, do not read only the British version. Continue Annual... The Republic asked for satisfaction and the United States appointed a special envoy, but the negotiations did not reach satisfactory conclusion. The envoy requested and obtained their passports. The Argentine government accused him of having gone to hinder the negotiation ......... and declared his determination to assert their power and rights to the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). ” you see, were not pirates
Just planks
Nov 13th, 2010 - 11:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Vernet had orders from the Argentine Government”
Nov 14th, 2010 - 02:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0The convicted pirate.

Nov 14th, 2010 - 11:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0You seem to quite like it.
Or is anybody forcing you……….?
Think stalking again.
Nov 15th, 2010 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So much better to try and intimidate people than to answer their awkward questions.
“Zethee: Vernet was no pirate.”
Nov 16th, 2010 - 12:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ofcourse, stealing ships isn't piracy. He wasn't tried and accused by the USA of piracy. I can fly and fart dollars.
Is the 60 million strong British bulldog really being wagged by its miniscule Falklands tail- or more precisely a hair on the tail, given that there are only 3,140 Falklanders? In the 21st Century, can a European power hide its colonial claim to the oil resources under the sea bed of South America by sheltering behind the 'rights' of its colonists?
Nov 16th, 2010 - 03:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain must go, and in the end it will have to go; the issue is one of how and when.
“Britain must go, and in the end it will have to go; the issue is one of how and when.”
Nov 16th, 2010 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No.
Yes.
Nov 16th, 2010 - 11:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0it's only been 180 years so far. You must be delusional if you think the UK's going to change it's mind on the issue.
Nov 16th, 2010 - 11:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And that's the only way it's going to change.
besides Argentina will break up long before then ??
Nov 17th, 2010 - 12:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excuse me, Georgia Seafoods is part of the Fortuna Group?. Isn't that a sports betting company from Central Europe?
Nov 18th, 2010 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0By the way, it is sad to see what has become of the Wallaces. Totally different from the one we saw in “Braveheart”.
I agree, the wallaces should all raise up in arms are defend there territory from these english invaders...
Nov 19th, 2010 - 04:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Oh wait...it's one nation now? WHAT?!

#33 and #34 what a surprise to check that after all you're not resented by nature!
Nov 19th, 2010 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good job!
I'm sure you would love for us to be resented by nature, and everything else in the world.
