What is it about the diegos and the stealing of other peoples land?

Hard not to mock UK's bullshit claims, is it? Even for a Brit ;-)
Martian Fairy.... I think he is mocking the RG Diegos........

Jan 24th, 2011 - 04:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Frank - the French and the Dutch have just made their overseas territories a part of France and Holland which has the effect of removing them from C-24 scutiny.
The Falklands would, in the same vein, become a County of England.
I think we can do without another County Council although it remains an option!
What an amateur idiot. Wars in SA have been started with less than that. What an idiot ... a fellow trvaeler of Hugo C. ... what can you expect? Idiots both.

Jan 24th, 2011 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think the Europeans will be in south America for quite sometime yet,
Jan 24th, 2011 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0at least we only have the argies to contend with, perhaps the French and Dutch wont have it so good with their close neighbours‘, still it will be nice for others to take the burden,

Jan 24th, 2011 - 03:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The French and Dutch will be fine in South America. Only British clowns with bad teeth will have issues in South America with a group of Argies, that nobody of the rest of South America cares about, than just barking political rhetoric.
French Guiana has always been an department of France and it's going to stay like that. Nobody in that area has problems with that, and specially not Brazil who eyes French Guiana and Suriname as the gateway to Europe. In Suriname, Brazilians are not only know for stealing their gold but also building the infrastructure to export their products.
Holland just changed the whole system of the Netherlands Antilles, that doesn't exist anymore, since Curacao became one of the new constituents. The only thing dislike is that they wish they still had some control over their old crown the jewel, Suriname (also ex British colony, and still drive left and drink tea in the afternoon)
interesting !

I am from Argentina and agree with Bolivians they need an exit to the ocean and they also need to cut off any trade with Chile, untill they learn to behave like civilized people, this Chileans did the same thing in Argentina and we are getting sick of them, eventually we will have a war and will take back the Argentine province chile, I am from San Juan Argentina and this people are filthy drunkards, nothing more then pests, I wish Argentina's government will get involved and stop LAN Chile or barrick gold from entering Argentina untill they give back the land they thefted.
