    You have doubts, because those islands are not yours, actually, the only YOURS is England, not even Northern Ireland, not even Scotland, not even Wales, not even Las Malvinas, etc etc etc. :)

    EXBrain - when we had them, they WERE ours ... but India wanted its freedom and was given it, and Hong Kong was a lease .... which ran its course.

    The Falkland Islands will also be independent when its people wish it .... until then .... they're OURS :-)

    Don't think their your islands either Xbox.

    PS Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England are all part of the same country numbskull, England doesn't own them dumbkampf :)

    But mind you.....facts and common sense have always been a slight hinderance to your arguments ;)

    lol #6 in America we consider undocumented immigrants unwelcome, I think you can see in USA how we treat Mexicans we call them illegal aliens.
    in regards to fakland ..
    Argentina has no problems with the fakland island company as a matter of fact they are free to determine to go back to UK and practice their busyness there together with the colonist who refuse to apply for some sort of Argentine documentation in Islas Malvinas Argentina, I am sure you can understand, I think you call it security.
    Argentina's claim is over Islas Malvinas Argentina not the fakland island company wich british like to talk about, I can understad wikipedia's distortion of facts and dyslexia, but for people to act like pesty filthy schemy rats is something catholic school didn't prepare me for.
    “PEOPLE?” :O
    never mind...forget I said anything.

    I'll take your advice I, that's the most sensible thing you've ever said.

    #6 We greatly appreciate your support for the right to self-determination, and your many arguments here and elsewhere. But I cannot agree that the Falklands are yours. The Queen is Head of State and public land is vested in her. But the UK Government and UK Parliament does not control the Falkland Islands, though it has some overall responsibilities for foreign affairs, defence and good governance.

    The Falkland Islands belongs to the Government and people of the Falkland Islands. They will determine from time to time what alliegences they wish to have and how to run their country. For the present and forseeable future that will be through alliegence to the Queen.

    That is self determination.

    It has been Argentine policy for some decades to try to con UN members into seeing this as an Argentina vs UK dispute, when according to its charter the only people to whom the UN has a responsibility vis a vis the Falklands is the people of the Falklands.

    But thanks again for your support which is very much appreciated.

    Once again they are rude, but don’t worry, I did not spend 5 years at oxford-
    and years as a physiatrist not to help these poor wretches, I now know what these argie bloggers seem to have its called [CJD]
    Symptoms of CJD
    Early symptoms of the disease include changes in personality, depression and loss of interest in life.
    After a while, other symptoms will include:
    loss of honesty
    problems with movement, especially of the mouth
    problems seeing or hearing the truth
    Rudeness irritating and imagining they own things .they do not.
    Saying silly remarks , and forgetting who they are.
    Incontinence. Use of hands instead of paper.
    Eating to much south American beef. [contaminated]
    Thinking they may bee stupid, but not yet proved,
    If you see these symptoms or notice things please have pity .

    Its not a poem Numbnutts...its a sympton checker...I think hes trying to help you categorize whatever affliction your mind seems to be succumbing to as off late :)

    I personally think your suffering from chronic stupidity...in which case it has passed the species barrier from the Argentine government to the people...

    Dear dear please do not shout
    we don’t know what you are on about.
    the Falklands are British
    the same as the missus , and she is the boss is she not
    Argentina is a name that you cant alga mate
    complains to the UN and has a stalemate
    she lose her missus, and thus loses her riches
    and finally admits the islands are British ?

    #19 bery convenient to support illegal aliens in Islas Malvinas Argentina why don'ty ou guys do that in UK with roman gipsys ??
    #21 if I where you,I would sue oxford for crminal neglicency causing you to be a total waste of good space where a 100% well functioning heathy minded free thinking human should be ?
    #22 Lets hope poetry is not his only gift if you can call it that.
    #23 we should take advise from UK subjects who being suffering the same sicknes since pirats invented boats.
    #24 you are Latino you are not allowed to have opinions, they are solely reserved for Europids.
    #25 make up your mind the UK prime minister says UN is irrelevant, and Argentina wants nothing to do with the fakland island company and the illegal aliens squatting in Malvinas Argentina.
