When Brits read about the UN paying homage to some Latin American leader, they tremble like sissy boys.
Time is running out for the British in Islas Malvinas. They soon will have to leave our islands and return to Great Britain.

I have to agree with you Think! I am trembling so much I am struggling to type!

Xbox, I am struggling to understand the second part of your post. I am a Falkland Islander, I was born here, my father was born here, my grandfather was born here, my great grandfather was born here, my great great grandfather was born here, my great great great grandfather was born here and my great great great great grandfather was born here. That makes me 7th generation Falkland Islander, how many generations does your family's heritage go back in Argentina? This is my home. And I will be staying here until I decide.

Don´t worry M_of_Fi; you are not in peril, you are welcome, we want to live in peace and cooperation with you; we are only challeging here the right to stay in south atlantic of your colonial masters 8k miles away from home. Let´s live in peace.

We are well on the way to peace. The first of the Kirchner's is dead. The sooner that every South American leader and potential leader with neo-imperialist colonialist dreams is dead, the sooner that peace will become a reality.

It's not a dream #8, it's an intention.

@ Billy Hayes (#6)

Thanks for your peaceful intentions. I dont mean to pick on what you have said, but Britain are not our colonial masters. We are self-governing. We have democratic elections and have our own Government who operate independently from the UK Government. We may still have a Governor, but the responsibility of this role has diminished, and the power is with the Falkland Islanders. And the only reason why Britain has military forces in the Falklands is because of 1982 and Argentina's constant claim over the Falklands and their aggressive tactics to stifle and intimidate the Falklands. They are hear because of you. Drop your claim permanently, cease your bullying tactics, and Britain will leave. As the kids say...“simples”.

Very conciliatory Billy, unfortunately there's a pickled onion it that fruit salad: the problem is it's not just about the British military presence is it, it's also about sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and Argentina has no intention of dropping their claim, to put it bluntly, How can we trust you?

Wooow…. seven generations of confessed squatting!

But don’t worry, the trespasser debts of your ancestors will most certainly not be deducted from your *CHRS.

We don’t believe in the principle of “Hereditary Sin”…….

I’m gladly surprised by your new choice of vocabulary when insulting us.
I can, somehow, better relate to it :-)

“Wooow…. seven generations of confessed squatting!”

“Wooow...Eight generations of confessed squatting.”

The difference between the islands and Argentina.

@14 Think, guess l've just lost patience with you wooden-heads & of course exposure to Argentinean threats & insults must have some small effect on a rational brain. actually senor xbox you are a prize turnip with a wooden head & you senor think are just as bad but like to give the impression that you are a well travelled sophisticated gentleman, you might even be a parsnip head
