Disclaimer & comment rulesSuprisingly quiet here, i thought THINK would have at least started the anti British rhetoric by now?
Jan 24th, 2011 - 09:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good luck to YPF, hope they get somthing for thier $150 million.
Why have we not seen the posts of those Argies that are worried about the environmental impacts of a potential oil spill? They were happy to point to the potential problems of a spill in the Falkland Islands but not when the drilling is in their waters!
Jan 24th, 2011 - 10:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I suppose it is one rule for them and another rule for the Islands.
Good luck YPF and the drilling team who like us all are looking to do good by our families.
Give it a few hours, im sure Zethee or Think will come up with somthing absurd about it all, it keeps me amused at least :) come on ...lets hear it el chappos

Jan 24th, 2011 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can't spell.
And you can't read.
Zethee is one of yours!
A Military/Weapons nerd as you :-)
You don't now
Oooo kersplash, you got me there, im reeling from that response, well done buttercup, must give you a warm feeling .... but no sorry to dissapoint your fantasies, knowing somthing about politics, military, current affairs etc does fall into other walks of life too, but just because your sad little country only see's Junt or Civilian, you cant differentiate....as for Zethee, that was an honest mistake, but who is perfect ?
Jan 24th, 2011 - 11:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let us hope that the Argentine exploration is as luck as the Falkland Islanders ... eh, Think?
Jan 24th, 2011 - 11:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think isnt interested as he can't drum up any anti-falklands rhetoric on this one, he's busy finding links as to how a typo slip up is incorrect and even found a websiteto prove him correct lol....i suppose thats all he has to get his gums into tonight, i guess he cant go out with all the cash machines empty still.

Jan 25th, 2011 - 01:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Boy….............. Let’s get this straight….
You can’t spell.
You can’t distinguish between friend and foe.
You ain’t Military.
But you feel confident enough to lecture “Mr.Redhoyt” and “Mr. Think” about the logic of sending a big, slow, heavy British Carrier loaded with 2.000 young men directly into a rain of state of the art “Carrier Killer” Chinese ballistic missiles just because you read somewhere that there is something called Layered Defence?
Did I understand you correctly?
Hmmm ... hate to point this out Think but -
Jan 25th, 2011 - 01:28 am - Link - Report abuse 01. on that thread at #27 you put 'on' instead of 'one' - typo?
2. Y can spell in Welsh, and that has to be pretty impressive !
Thanks Red, but he doesnt make mistakes, he tactically enforces errors, so he can then go to a website and post it here, proving his superiority.
Jan 25th, 2011 - 01:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Secondly Think, i suggested no such thing, not once did i suggest we send a loaded british carrier full of 2000 men and WOMEN to China, i was simply educating your poorly informed mind, that it isnt as simple as waving a 'carrier killer', theres a lot more to it than that, but a country which hasnt actually fought a sustained war wouldnt know this ( but there's always reading...).
Think your ignorance and selective attention is quite staggering even for this place...i make mistakes, gladly admit it, you just sit on your high superior horse looking down on us all....well, in your mind at least.

Jan 25th, 2011 - 01:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0I know… I know
Unmistakably........... a mistake
What can I say…….
Never learned English at school.
Never lived longer than a month in an English speaking country (except for India, but that doesn’t count!)
English is definitely not one of my favorite languages.
In short, I write and speak it badly but with great ignorance.
I agree Think, for once, it isnt the best language, but its here and works globally, may not be the most spoken, but certainly the most widespread and in the majority of modern civilised nations....Portuguese is kinda cool tho ;) definately the dominant voice of South America
Jan 25th, 2011 - 02:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0“YPF belongs to the Argentine Eskenazi family and Spanish company Repsol.” YPF belongs to the Argentine EskeNazi family, the Kirchner family and Spanish Repsol. EskeNazi and the Kirchner family will share all the money with all the people in Argentina, especially the poor :) I love her, because they are soooooo generous and honest!

Jan 25th, 2011 - 05:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Y - Sadly the version that is spoken globally is US english rather than the Queen's own. Too much Hollywood I suppose.
And Xbrain is EXbrain, I suspect his family lets him loose on the computer when he gets too much for them ...... which I suspect is often!
Yes i kno what you mean Red, using microsoft word in US english as a spell checker!

#2 If BP is any indication of how the free world treats mother earth an Argentine is the last thing people should be worried about, give it time you have a lot to learn from environmental disasters.
Jan 25th, 2011 - 06:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0#3 it's not absurd to fear any disaters be it in Argentina, Africa, China, Pakistan or India, the reality is that even if this might mean great amount of wealth for a few, it also means the distruction of the environment the ocean and it bast resources, you can see what BP did to the fishing and turism industry in USA, this area use to thrive on turism and fishing, wich by the way where around a lot longer then BP oil drillings, The world is making choices that risk the integrity of the water supply, the food supply, the air and our health, this fight is not against british or americans who's ego and dark paranoia does not let them see the reality of the poor choices they make under the covert name “progress” to feed a few greedy pigs.
#6 there is nothing wrong in hoping for the greater good of things, but mans ingenuity to device disasters disguised as progress is extremely ovious.
#12 have you ever beaten up a kid smaller then you with a few other guys bigger then him ?? Just for the fun ??
#13 do you have what you are saying about president Cristina on paper ?? perhaps you should tell us how generous mr darwin clifton was with UK subjects.
now I couldn't leave this comment without feeding the hungry paranoid freaks out there or the conspiracy geeks. BP totally destroyed the fishing and turism industry in part of USA with one ”({UNINTENTIONAL})” drill gone sour, can you imagine what a well planed drill intentionally made to go sour can do to Malvinas Argentina fishing industry ? for now we can all sleep well knowing that the production of OIL for Malvinas last year was 0 and it will be 0 for years to come, I hope ! if not at least I will have the satisfaction of telling you all, I told you soo.

Jan 25th, 2011 - 07:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0we are treating her shabbily but until we get clean alternative energy we have to extract & use oil.

Jan 25th, 2011 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Article above is not about BP. It is not about drilling within Falkland waters. It is about Argentina drilling.
#19 - in your case you are the exception to the rule !
Mother earth doesn't give a damn, when she's ready she'll dispose of us and try something new!
Yet another barrage against BP, the rig was operated on behalf of BP, as bad as the any oil spill is , the gulf od mexico has been nowhere as badly hit as the scare mongers predicted...and take a look at your own day to day polluters not just the one off big time headline events, the Niger delta in Africa is an appalling mess due to oil companies who couldnt give a toss...none of which is your beloved BP...in fact look up any oil company , particularly YPF and you will get get plenty of hits regarding pollution
Jan 25th, 2011 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Odd how so few of the RG 'there's no oil in the Falklands basin just water LOL” posters on Mercopress have shown similar scorn for Argentine oil exploration in the area.

Is argie a pill cousing racist to have amnesia ?
Jan 26th, 2011 - 05:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0As an Argentine I feel insulted, funny you would come attack Argentines when Argentina has more patience with Malvinas than Israel with Gaza, on this note I hope you get a short circuit in your conditioned dark matter and choke in your own puke. nothing new here Malvinas oil production stil is = 0.
@32 I,
Jan 26th, 2011 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 01) who cares about Argentina's patience with the Falklands. you have no rights here anyway.
2) who cares if you feel insulted, you bring it on yourself.
3) rude again as always l see.
4) your“facts”are disjointed ramblings.
@23 & 26 yul,
don't you like the Jews? the ones that l have met are a very talented people. l suppose there is good & bad in all nationalities, but the Jews that l know are very nice hardworking, intelligent people.
#33
Jan 26th, 2011 - 11:32 am - Link - Report abuse 01) I have more rights then you, I am an Argentine citizen you are a british subject, I think you didn't read your constitution right ? does the word queen ring any bells ??
2) and what race according to you I have to be to have the right of feelings ??
3) yes I am rude, but at least I am not a queer, like some people.
4) but still facts, I know it sucks.
it doesn't take much talent to blow up kids from 100's of miles away or to drive him over with a tank..that's just my opinion, hardworking jews are like UFO's, everyone talk about them but no body seen one actually working.
@34 I,
Jan 26th, 2011 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) you have more rights than me in Argentina, my boy but that is all. since l don't want to go to Argentina, who cares?
1a) what has queen got to do with anything? you obviously have no idea how our government works.
2) l don't know what race you are & l don't really care. l never said you had to be any race to have feelings. All races have feelings, don't you know that yet?
3) who cares if you are queer or not,l certainly don't. you must be thinking about that a lot, eh?
4) not facts, just rubbish. but again who cares what you think?
you got it bad about the Jews, “I”, have they hurt you at all?
l have known Jews in many countries(not lsrael, never been there)& l stand by what l say.
l think both sides are using violence in the middle east but l'm not getting into that debate---------we are talking about the Falklands, which are OUR lslands, NOT yours

Jan 26th, 2011 - 03:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) chances are that if you step on my toes while on planet earth your rights will come in second right after my anger, If you thought my comments here sounded like an invitation you might be a compulsive sado-masochist.
1a) that is the same question I ask myself when I read the made up Malvinas constitution.
2) according to you Argentines are not allowed to feel insulted while being blamed for helping the survivors of the european masacres, this is why I ask you what race do I have to be to have the rights to feeling insulted ?
3) I don't remember asking if you care, I do remember stating “yes I am rude, but at least I am not a queer, like some people.” why all the insecurity ?? why are you feeling alluded ?? poor gal
4) all ”(FACTS)“, we didn't give birth to the germans nor did we give birth to britsh, french, italians or jews and they are all in Argentina living as leaches, oviously you do care for your country Argentina, why else would you spend more time in an Argentine news headlines then all of Argentine convined will ever spend on british news ??
Lucky you! I only see jews who murder Muslims people to take their land with british support, a little like Malvinas Argentna.
who is ”our” ?? LOL UK ? the illegal alien colony ? pirats ?? common thieves, undocumented subjects ? wonderland ??
I was talking about Malvinas Argentina, I don't know what land you are talking about, there is a british company called fakland, but it's not a country, it's a british company in the busyness of deceit, from land theft, to cattle theft, to fishery theft, to oil exploitation theft, to squatting inbreds, I don't blame you, with the kind of honourable people around Malvinas Argentina, we couldn't expect better. http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/final/darwin_clifton.pdf

Jan 27th, 2011 - 04:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0#38 that's right ! and where did the germans get born, lived, work and made war ? wait let me guess! Argentina ?.. how convenient.
Argentina gave up its innocent participation in the Falkland Islands when it invaded, despite very poor reasoning for 'owning' the islands in the first place. As for murdering innocent muslims...its easy to sit there and act innocent as your nation is too pathetic to stand up and take part in any wars against fascists, terrorists and madmen....mistakes have been made but you are a subsrciber to Al qeada 's resoning...when its clearly ignored muslim extremistsd are butchering other muslims.... your words are a disgrace to any serviceman who has ever served in the middle east, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself
Jan 27th, 2011 - 04:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0#40 correction british invaded in 1933 removing Argentine Governor Luis Vernet, while Argentina liberted Malvinas from british occupation in 1982, it's not our foult the british removed the legitimate Argentine government there, it would be easyer to understand the issue if we use the correct terms, even UN calls it special situation. now I can understand US soldier ignorance when they liberated Iraq from Saddam and a decade later the man runs a better counter offencive then when alive, occupation of Iraq is the same as the occupation of Malvinas both futile because they really are an occupation, I don't care it's your tax money and resources, waste it! I am proud Argentina didn't fight in the Middle East, because if we did I would be enclined demand to end the occupation of Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq as well as Malvinas, maybe everyone should fight back at the same time and make you work for your money rather then being here promoting the ignorance, don't you have a wedding, baptims or a mosque to blow up ?? what are you doing here ?? I don'r care if USA expolits Iraqi oil just don't exploit Malvinas because that generates this kind of drilling programs, wake up didn't BP teach morons anything ??
Jan 27th, 2011 - 06:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0@41 I, l can see that talking to you is a complete waste of time, so will do it no more. you are an ignorant imbecile.- whatever, just remember this,

hope this helps
#42 if you can ever figure out who “OURS” is let us know, maybe then people will understand you, my guess is you don't even know who the fakland island company is, if that company' is anything like your budy OBE darwin clifton, I can rest assured that the future will set you straight, An Argentine will not dig your grave, but we would gladly fill your grave with dirt,
Jan 27th, 2011 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let me be honest with you Argentina has no interest in fakland company nor any of the british illegal aliens, as a matter of fact they are all free to go back home to UK wich is the place they come from, their claims! not ours! we don't force anyone in Argentina to become citizens, but if you have no legal status you might get deported as any ilegal alien in the world is, or are you saying that white british ilegal aliens deserve a better treatment then other races ?? you should read how the Europeans want to keep Romanians out of the EU for the same reason a little bias wouldn't you say ? same old british mentality do as I say but not as I do.
