It is not an average traveler story, as pointed by the other members, unless you are suggested to remove any national sign after arriving to your destination when you travel abroad.
Feb 23rd, 2011 - 06:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The FIG suggestion (hopping it was a suggestion indeed) sounds kinda reasonable, considering the backgrounds involved, and I am glad to hear that there was no argument about that; but I can´t help wondering what would have happened if they refused to take their flag down.
I truly hope this ends as an isolated episode, nothing else.
Cheers.-

The point of this story is to illustrate us the state of the mental situation of the isolated kelpers.... “concern and anxiety” because of a flag flying in a yacht is not a normal situation...a psychiatrist is needed in Pto.Arg.

So what happens when a Falkland Island yacht arrives in Buenos Aires flying the desire flag......?

Once again a relatively minor story has descended into accusations of intimidation and mental problems and evil islanders etc etc from our rather infantile friends from Argentina Billy and Raul...
pathetic!
“1833: expulsion of Authorities and native inhabitants”
Feb 23rd, 2011 - 08:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Expulsion of native inhabitants is a lie. Only one person at the time was native born, José Simon, son of Jean Simon and Carmelita. He was 2 or 3 years old at the time, and he stayed, as did his parents, and most of Vernet's settlement. Only the garrison was expelled. Jean Simon was later murdered by Rivero and his gang.

'A $US6000 dollar fine' is the correct answer.
What this little story tells us is that Falklanders behave like civilised human beings... unlike thuggish RG brutes...

He/she doesn't want to see the nature and the context where you originates the conflict. It is completely true, native inhabitants' expulsion versus British Imperialism. Read the Former minister's Exhibition in advance Mr., Cisneros:
http://en.mercopress.com/2011/02/19/falklands-malvinas-controversy-minds-closed-indeed
“The usurpation of the Malvinas in 1833 was thus not the isolated or spontaneous initiative of an obscure Captain Onslow any than the two invasions to lives Buenos Aires in 1806 and 1807 - there were orders from on high, obeying to plan of planetary dimensions to restrains strategically important be-lanes worldwide. It happened to Gibraltar, for example, and it happened to us with the appropriation of the Malvinas to control the strategic Strait of Magellan. There was nothing fortuitous but rather the manifestation of an imperial project repeated in many parts of the world. The Malvinas disputes cannot be understood without reference to this framework.”

Malvinense 1833: It is true, regrettably it is this way, Cisneros really made a very good synthesis. Will it be for that reason that Mercopress, of British tendency, do I eliminate the Web in version in Spanish language?.

Feb 25th, 2011 - 05:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your use of the English language is interesting to say the least.
Synthesis = The synthesis solves the conflict between the thesis and antithesis by reconciling their common truths, and forming a new proposition.
Unfortunately, as Argentina doesn't know what truth and evidence really is, and never presents anything but lies, how can Cisneros ever logically produce a synthesis? Saying that he does is lie right there.
You RGs really do pile the crap high don't you.
It is very simple. The islanders ask your government in London to bring the case to the ICJ.
Feb 25th, 2011 - 08:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And Argentina will disappear from their lives. Of course if London win...
Malvinense, try to absorb this into what passes for your brain this time, please: it is not up to the UK to take the case to the ICJ, but it is up to Argentina (which doesn't accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ, by the way). The UK has control of the Islands. If Argentina believes that she has a better claim to the Islands than the UK, then it is up to Argentina to make the application. Argentina is the applicant. Think about it this way: if you were injured in a car accident, it would be up to you to make a claim for damages in a civil case, not up to the driver of the car.
Feb 26th, 2011 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina claims to be the injured party in this case, so it is up to Argentina to make the claim to the ICJ. That's how the law works.
PomInOz, thats not how it works in Argentina, you forgot to mention all the bribes to officials and witnesses, the false evidence, the false expert witnesses, the ignoring of any real evidence because it happens to get in the way, and everyone lying through their teeth.
Feb 26th, 2011 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0The analogy regarding the car insurance claim would really throw them, since no-one has insurance.
PomInOz, thanks for your explanation. I said this because if Argentina is so upset, they may ask the case to the Court. (U.K.)
Feb 26th, 2011 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0In addition they have done with Georgia and Sandwich Islands, Argentina did not accept because does not included the Malvinas.
It means they can re-apply, but UK does not include islands in the jurisdiction of the Court.
Argentina can't take a claim of Sovereignty over British Territory to a British High Court, it doesn't have jurisdiction over the matter.
Feb 26th, 2011 - 12:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has to take your Sovereignty claim to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
You are either the most naive person on the planet, the most indoctrinated person on the planet, or incredibly stupid, you choose.
“ ... but UK does not include islands in the jurisdiction of the Court...”
Feb 26th, 2011 - 01:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0And your evidence to support that claim is what? The UK is committed to the ICJ's jurisdiction publicly so it is ARGENTINA that is refusing to take the case to the ICJ. Cowards hiding behind lies.
Marvin/Rolly - Cisneros has answered emotionally like a woman, no evidence, no references, no background ..... and no substance. I'm beginning to realise that it is something to do with your spanish blood. The logic of the Greeks eludes you.
The most frustrating thing with these articles is the sheer lack of intelligence amongst the majority of the Argentine contributors .... it even shows in Cisneros' work. An adherence to rhetoric and not facts!

Off course their only being irrational and insecure....and big benign Argentina who hasn't done a single thing to warrant such Racist outbursts.
Speaking of irrational and insecure...which country recently bleated and wailed like a lost sheep when the UK conducted its tri annual missile test fire in the islands? Didn't this country claim that a 6km ranged missile might land in Argentina LOL :)
Argentina is the pathetic insecure one unfortunately.
The captain of that yacht aware of the strained relations between the two peoples was being polite and courtesies....I don't think he deliberately set out to go and be a hero of the Motherland and defy the nasty evil customs men and have an avenue and town in Argentina named after him...
God what kind of a world do we live in Martin when people are polite and respect each other and do simple non-threatening gestures as sign of their respect?

Unlike a puppet state or satellite state, a colony has no independent international representation, and its top-level administration is under direct control of the metropolitan state.”
Pretty much sums it up. Label them as you wish to be honest, it makes no difference.
Colonialism was ended because it was no longer right for nations to rule other people against there democratic right to determine there own future, largly brought on over the way the nazis treated people in ww2.
And rightly, forced colonialism was over the next 50 years was pretty much wiped out.
If a group of people wish to still retain close ties to the country that bore them, there is nothing wrong with that at all.
Colony implies that there is a forced situation like it used to be in the age of colonialism which is why they have mostly chosen new names to represent what they are, because the relationship has changed, with the times.
It's the UK that has them labeled as an overseas territory.

Feb 27th, 2011 - 11:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why not Martin? What is to stop them? They are perfectly entitled to become independent if they want to. That is their right under the UN Charter and a number of other UN Security Council resolutions. There is nothing Argentina can do about it. In fact, as a signatory to the UN Charter, Argentina is obliged to support the Falklands in this.
However, judging by the deafening silence from Argentina when Gaddafi is bombing and killing his own civillians it's obvious that human rights is not really a priority for Argentina...
The Falklands will become a sovereign state, even if Argentina did somehow manage to gain control, they would just win their independence from them.

I see from 43 Martin_Fierro (#) that we aparently do not have a constitution. Sorry but we do and a very good one at that. As for dependant territory. Once apon a long time ago we used to depend on someone else but not any longer because we have a system in place that is making enough revenue to be self supporting.

Mar 03rd, 2011 - 04:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It would be “illegal” to even enter Argentine waters flying the Falklands version of the red ensign. To do so, we are told involves a fine of $7000 for “not having the correct paperwork” and the “correct paperwork” requires that the owner signs a paper that denies their rights to his birthplace.
An Argentine drops by the Falklands, barely a ripple and polite request that they don't fly the Argentine jack as thanks to Argentina's invasion of a peaceful island community and 30 years of bullying its none too popular.
No doubt if there was to be a Falklands yacht in an Argentine harbour it would be invaded by Malvinistas and vandalised with the demand it be put in a “Malvinas museum”. I mean look what they did with an Argentine owned vessel, in an Argentine harbour.
how do you reason with deluded malvinistas? morons all.

The extension applies to the continental shelf not the EEZ. The EEZ will remain at 200nmi. And yes, the UK is trying to extend its continental shelf. In the area of the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay, along with Spain, France, and Ireland. The 4 put in a joint submission for the area
The UK also put in a submission for the Falklands and SG&SSI because they, not being independent states, can't do it for themselves. The submission for the Falklands is for the benefit of the Falklands.
”it's the UK trying to add Malvinas to the European Union, not the idiot Kelpers. Remember? ;-)”
The UK is not 'trying' to do anything. The only Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) of the UK that is part of the EU is Gibraltar. None of the others are. This has been the same situation since 1973 when the UK joined the EEC. Nothing has changed.

And, under Decree 256, if the vessel weren't vandalised by malvinists, the Falkland Islanders would need permission to return to their own country.
