No such thing as “British Antarctic Territory”, but you can make donations at www.antarctic-monument.org. since they can't pay for a f@cking statue.

Argentina does work hard Redhot, that's why we have 13 bases in Antártida.

Won't make an ounce of difference when that Treaty breaks ...... believe it :-)
May 11th, 2011 - 03:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0More crap from Redhot the expert.
May 11th, 2011 - 04:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0You don't know dick.
Martin, not even your nearest neighbour (since geographical proximity seems to be one of your obsessions) recognises your claim to a slice of Antarctica. Arguably they are even closer to Antarctica than Argentina is, so it should really be theirs (if your twisted geographical proximity logic applies).
May 11th, 2011 - 08:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0I just personally find it hilarious when Americans (you Martin) pretend to be Argentines and bang on about possession of a section of continent that has nothing to do with them :)
May 11th, 2011 - 08:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Quite sad, but it does lighten the mood at your expense, and adds another reason as to why the UK should retain sovereignty: purely to spite Martin and his morally corrupt thinking XD.
Guys,
May 11th, 2011 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't rise to the bait, if they wish to be disrespectful let them demonstrate what dicks they are.
QED?

May 11th, 2011 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0You're referring to Chile, I presume? Save your “Divide Et Impera” crap to yourself, our issues are ours to resolve, nothing to do with you. We stood up on this issue against the UK jointly, your Antarctic claim backfired and actually helped us. So... thanks!!

”I just personally find it hilarious when Americans (you Martin) pretend to be Argentines...”
You think that bothers me, don't you? haha
You realize that by following your line of reasoning, it is your allegiance and your identity that would be compromised by moving to another country, not necessarily mine. I personally find you pathetic.
I'm Argentine first, and last, if you think my allegiance and my identity has been compromised clearly you haven't been paying attention. ;-)

May 11th, 2011 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Erm, no...You didn't. A newsreport may have said something of the like but what happened was.
UK made it's claim.
Argentina made it's claim.
Chile made it's claim.
They were all seperate claims to the Antartic seabed mineral rights.
Amerigo Vespucci never saw the Falkland Islands, the so-called Vespucci letters are a known forgery. http://www.trivia-library.com/a/origins-american-gets-its-name.htm

May 12th, 2011 - 03:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah right, all our news reports are false... yours of course are always true.
And again we shall repeat
May 12th, 2011 - 12:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Jealousy just pure jealousy
Oh to be British
Swarve-sophisticated-brilliant-admired-respected-feared- ahh the charisma just runs off sleeve
Poor Argentina she so dreams of wanting and admires us,

“Yeah right, all our news reports are false... yours of course are always true.”
May 12th, 2011 - 11:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, the news report was not incorrect. It stated the facts, His interpretation of the truth was incorrect. The one i believe you're talking about is the “Argentina and Chile team up on the UK”(Something similar) When infact each country staked there own claim. Each one overlapping eachothers.
right, all our news reports are false... yours of course are always true
May 12th, 2011 - 11:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and we all agree with you, how nice of you to say so ?
Martin_Fierro (#)--------I'm Argentine first, and last, if you think my allegiance and my identity has been compromised clearly you haven't been paying attention. We all thought you were a US citizen Marten, so what are you? an American citizen or an Argentine Citizen
May 14th, 2011 - 05:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0he may be to ashamed to say, knowing we cant prove either way,
