Jan 28th, 2011 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe the UK should get the f--k out of Georgias Del Sur, and the Sandwich islands, and Malvinas, and everything else.
Jan 28th, 2011 - 09:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Or maybe not Martin. If you feel that passionately about it then do something about it?
Jan 28th, 2011 - 10:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let me know though, so I don't blink and miss it!
Beef, we don't need weapons, sooner or later las Malvinas will be in our hands, again, without killing anybody, that's the British way, not our way.
Jan 28th, 2011 - 10:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You know Xbox if argentina doesn't kill people then there must have been one serious case of flu at the Argentine navy mechanics school. You know some might sat that place was run more like a concentration camp than a school.
Jan 28th, 2011 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 5 It's time for you to wake up, sleeping Charle! I don't know what you are injecting into your vains, but since 1983 we have democratically elected governments. This is 2011, hello???? Everything that happens under the rule of dictators is not democracy. Just so you know, I'm talking about tryinn to regain the islands like Galtieri did in 1982, many people were killed, just so you know...
Jan 28th, 2011 - 10:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Xbox you go on about Democracy but don't respect the democracy of islanders who choose there own Government. Argentina can't call itself a true democracy until it accepts that Falkland Islanders have a right to choose of there own free will who there Government is for as long as Argentina has a claim on the falkland islands and South Georgia in violation of the democratically expressed wishes of Islanders it has no right to call itself a truly democratic country. The clearest message that has repeatedly come from Falklanders is that they don't want the flag of Argentina flying anywhere over there Islands. Change your constitution so it respects the right to self determination then talk about democracy.
Jan 29th, 2011 - 12:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0They choose their own government and they live there, the governor is an English turnip. What else do you want? Look, I bet you're not even British, but anyway, this has nothing to do with being democratic or not, this is a claim on Las Malvinas, and you can rest assured that we won't stop until the islands are back in our hands. You can cry all you want to, we don't care :)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 12:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wonderful, a rare opportunity - an article on South Georgia.
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now, Argie intelligencia ..... tell me the basis of Argentina's claim to South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
I've been asking for a year but haven't had a coherent answer yet !
Best Think can come with is that, “ it's difficult” :-))
Xbox I'm British and can trace my family here in uk back hundreds of years. Thankyou for your admission that you and your country don't care about the democratic rights of FALKLANDERS not that it was ever needed. Secondly you will never own those Islands you never did you never will and UK will never cry over Argentina because we always win when it's to do with Falklands and we are the stronger than the whole of South America put together for that reason Falklands and other South Altlantic terriotories are safe from Argentine dictatorship and yes an Argentine Government in these places would be a dictatorship no matter how they were chosen in Mainland Argentina.
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ 10- Scary future, isn't it? haha Step by step, you just relax :)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Exbrain has managed to escape his padded cell today, and has written utter rubbish on every article ....... something of an achievement for one of Argentina's most intelligent :-)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Redhoyt, calm down man, you're showing your weakness, the article is about Las Islas Georgias del Sur, not about Exbrain haha, the same advice goes to you, just relax, relájate y goza :)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0If I get much calmer I'll float away, but thanks ... your idiocy raised a smile this morning.
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Remember to keep taking the tablets :-)
@ Redhoyt 14- Not at all, you don't seem to be much calmer, anyway, that means you were not calm, and you are not 100% calm, You want to punch someone in the face, right? haha try with your wife, you do have one, right? because I'm too far away from where you are:) I make you angry, right? Will you punch me in the face? tell me about it :)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 02:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0You said “this morning” where are you living? Are you living in the UK? Because current local time in London is almost 2:30 am, is that why you say “this morning” or are you living in China or Japan? Tell me about it, and don't let the anger blur your schizoid brain :)
Last question... how old are you? I'll be 20 this January 31, tell me about yourself, don't be shy :) or are you afraid that one day I'll be knocking on your door? :)
You are mildly amusing on the bright, sunny morn .. mostly as there appears to be so little else to do ... that's retirement for you, little toad. And I'm British, did you know that we can travel to more countries in the world either without a visa or with an automatic visa, than any other nationality. Apparently the Empire wasn't so bad after all :-)
Jan 29th, 2011 - 02:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for fear, ....... there, you've made me laugh again little worm :-)
Alas , the coffee is finished and the dogs need walking ........ so I must away ... for now. Keep it up brainless, best joke on here :-)
LOL

Two Argentine contributors so far ... and no answer to my question !
Jan 29th, 2011 - 06:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what my odds are of actually getting an answer ??
“I wonder what my odds are of actually getting an answer ??”
Jan 29th, 2011 - 06:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Same odds of Argentina ever getting the falklands.
Xbox - according to the 2010 democracy index Argentina is a flawed democracy. You will find that ten of the top twenty democratic states are Constitutional Monarchies. If you can't respect the Islanders rights to self determination through universal suffrage then it is clear to see why you are still learning about democracy.

Jan 29th, 2011 - 08:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Xbox.... the Dictatorship didn't kill Argentinians....Argentinians killed Argentinians... and the murderers still walk amongst you....you live in a seriously fucked up cuntry ....
@21 Frank, & thats why we don't want them or their ridiculous claims here
Jan 29th, 2011 - 09:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Beef, we don't need weapons, sooner or later las Malvinas will be in our hands, again, without killing anybody, that's the British way, not our way.”
Jan 29th, 2011 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Funny that. I recall Argentina invading in 1982, ignoring a UN Security Council resolution to get out and resulting in a lot of killing. Killing and giving the middle finger to the UN - the Argentine way...
The 'Chilean Sea Bass' fishery (= Toothfish) takes around 2500 tpa caught by 9 boats from UK, Spain, NZ, Chile, Uruguay & South Africa, with International Observation.
Jan 29th, 2011 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”The fishery has recently been re-certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) as being sustainably managed. This is the most important fishery for South Georgia, with licenses generating around £2.5 million in income.”
Sustainably managed fisheries are so rare around the South American continent that the managers of this fishery are to be praised - especially as there is miniscule secondary impact on birdlife and fish by-catch.
This is a real success story for the region.
this all sounds very fishy to me, the argies are up to something [again]
Jan 30th, 2011 - 12:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0but then again as our enemies used to say said, I don’t trust the British, never have, never will, they will always turn up when you least expect them????
1830s/ 1980s / 2011,s
Haven't you guys figured it out yet... we don't take you seriously, you're amusing that's the whole reason why we're here.
Jan 30th, 2011 - 01:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0You come here and you pretend to be experts on a continent you know nothing about, other than what you read on the papers. Statistics... percentages, Mercopress? haha.. you don't know dick.. and if you really thought the UK could keep Malvinas that would be enough for you, it just shows how insecure you all are.
Keep up the good work..
errr .... we have kept the Falklands ... for 178 ... oops, no, my mistake, 179 years whereas .... you've not managed to keep them for more than a couple of months on the two occassions that you tried to steal them.
Jan 30th, 2011 - 02:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Will we continue to keep them? Of course .... can't see anything preventing it :-)
“Keep up the good work..”

Cheers from the Falkland Islands (Still British I believe)

This is the most uneducated website I have ever encountered.

In that case we are obviously meant for each other, because you've given me plenty of laughs.
I actually don't care whether you take us seriously or not. I only pay attention when you post lies about the Falkland Islands, a place that you clearly know nothing about. And then I correct them, just in case anyone sensible is watching who might be misled by your nonsense.
You're actually providing a valuable service in giving us the opportunity to tell people the truth about life in the Falklands and our relationship with Argentina. So you go right ahead.

overfishing China
never underestimate the human condition,
the power of greed or hunger.
I(diot) - Argentina can't even successfully pursue its spurious claim for the Falkland Islands, so how do you reckon that it's going to manage to grab areas of Antartica which already have previous claimants?
Feb 04th, 2011 - 05:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0ICJ ? Argentina take the UK to the ICJ? .....lol, funny that ... really funny!
