Disclaimer & comment rulesIs there a good reason not to remove Argentina from the countries of the world? Britain has the capability. Britain could kill every Argentine and wipe the territory clean. But Britain is civilised. A word that no Argentine understands. But Britain can only be pushed so far. A tip for South American countries. Argentina consists of a bunch of psychotic, imperialistic wannabes. 1982 was a warm-up. Do you want to die in your billions? I don't care. You are on about the same level as muslims. Who should be exterminated. I quite like the idea of exterminating South Americans. Possible exclusion of Chile. Time to re-colonise South America. This time we should do it with people instead of brain-dead apes.
Jun 01st, 2011 - 05:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anniversaries in Argentina are published in British media, but anniversaries like this in the Falklands are not published in Argentine media, why is that? hmm That is because if our media did that, more and more people would know how things really are, that would make people think and seek for the truth. And if for some reason the Argentine media say something about this anniversaries is to accuse them of something like this: http://www.terra.com.mx/articulo.aspx?articuloid=323188
Jun 01st, 2011 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These people in the government need these conflicts to keep the power, unfortunately this fake nationalism is controlling the lives of millions in this country. This would be something that Argentin and the UK doing together, but like in 2007 when this government received and invitation and Néstor rejected this goverment of Cristina is doing the same, promoting the hate using people's feelings and teaching children more and more lies, and making people believe that we are the victims always, we did nothing wrong, we're good, we're great, we're perfect, we're awesome and the bad ones arre the others always. One day we'll finally learn to live in the present, I hope so.

Argentina hasn't been civilised for more than 100 years. It lies, it cheats, it steals (or tries to steal). It cannot claim legitimacy. It cannot claim honesty. It cannot claim credibilty. It is a rogue state.

Jun 01st, 2011 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 4 well if we say that the British think like you, then we say that British are not civilised, but thankfully people like Elaine and others proves that not everyone is as civilised as you are Typhoon. The problem with you is just because you hate Argentina, you don't care about the islanders, actually, you are dying for Argentina to attack the Falklands, just because you want an excuse to kill, you don't care if the islanders suffer, your heart only harbors hatred, that's all. Fortunately you'll die before you can see another war between Argentina and the UK.

Interesting that I deal with Student from India,people from Italy ,all speaks quite bad about the brits....
Why is that?
Of course the Irish love us SiEster ..... apparently 10% of the population of the UK is either Irish or has an Irish grandparent. That takes a lot of lovin'. I grant you we haven't always been good neighbours, but then ... who has?

And the Spanish .... ? Well they've always been a whinging, ungrateful bunch. Saved them from the French in the Peninsula War but they've never even said 'thankyou'. Most their relatives seem to be the same.
The Indians quite like us ... well, they seem to want to live with us at least!
Italians? They change sides so fast you could go giddy trying to keep up, so I wouldn't put my faith in their assistance.

Epilogue to the Elegy for the dead Argentine boys
Jun 02nd, 2011 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0in the South Atlantic, 1982.(A version of this Elegy was published in http://www.falklands.info/background/argentine82.html)
To Danimik
I finally ride the long wave I’ve been waiting for,
kelp all around me, dark sea up to my neck.
Thanks to neoprene, I find I can bear
the freezing cold of these roiling waters
that once wore the pink frothy cape of blood
and the red-heat of ships’ iron sheet dipping down
to the obscure depths of the South Atlantic sea,
while prayers of survivors of the original blast,
already condemned to a different death,
echoed helplessly in the battleship’s intestines.
I cannot tell now, after twenty five years,
whether it was right or wrong
to come to the islands and break havoc
and turn the steady life of their people
into a horror of death, of sadness and fear.
But I know how useless was this reckless war
that brought no relief to either battling side,
but tears to hundreds of mothers waiting
North and South.
I see ghosts as I slide down a wave,
with wrinkled faces and hollow eyes
waving their hands, before sinking again,
to ask for a prayer and to say goodbye.
The wave rolls me in, her embrace is too much
for my muscles to keep pace and I also sink
to join the phantoms in their underwater realm.

That you have taken a silly website and taken it as the truth just goes to show what a stupid silly uneducated gullible idiot you are. Keep up the good work clown you are making every British person and islander that logs on to this site very happy and amused with your rantings, its so good to wake up every day and read what you clowns especially you have to say about Britain or the Falkland islands we go to work very happy individuals indeed.
Jun 03rd, 2011 - 07:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0We have already seen one more person from Argentina this week make a complete idiot of himself and confirm what most if not all of the world knows about the corrupt country that calls it self Argentina when Julio Grondona at the FIFA meeting last year to illicit a bribe from the England representives saying give us back the Falklands and you have my vote. Yes people we have seen first hand how it all works in the corrupt country that calls itself Argentina.
This idiot Julio Grondona did not even know that the England representatives could not even if they wanted too have jurisdiction to suddenly hand over a group of Islands to a foreign country seeing that they come under the control of first the Falkland Islanders themselves and then the UK of which England is only one of four countries that make up the UK.
Like I said keep up the good work clowns of making every person that lives in Britain and the Falklands happy, its so good each morning to wake up each day and lough at the rantings of deluded clowns that make up the population of Argentina.

Jesus man - some Islands in the Carribean changed hands between UK-France-Spain etc several times a year in that era!
It was an attack- a battle - NOT a war.
Britain has lost a few battles along the way - but UK has a habit of winning the LAST Battle - and that is the one that wins the war!! Tell me how many WARS has Arg ever won?

I would give you a few words of advice oh small little inadequate one when you have won as many battles as the English and the British have done in the past as well as in the present, then and only then are you allowed to spout your nonsense, I wont list the battles that we have won over the years they are far to numerous to print on this post or the next few posts. What I will do of course just to wind you up further is remind you of the battles that we won in 1982 .Battle of Goose Green, Battle of Mount Harriet, Battle of Mount Longdon, Battle of Mount Tumbledown, Battle of Wireless Ridge, Battle of Two Sisters. and numerous little skirmishes that took place, tell me oh angy one how does it feel to be always on the losing side all the time.

Their hypocracy is flabbergasting! The truth of the matter is that they cannot bear to be wrong. They always have to be right. Their complete and utter defeat in 1982 has shocked them to their core. Believe me or not, they will try again.
Sure, Britain has lost wars & battles, but has won a lot too! Most nations have.
We seem to be able to get over it, but they cannot.
As for these invasions that they go on about, maybe it should just be viewed as unfinished business.

Jun 04th, 2011 - 11:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0T.Estevez. I do respect the Arg military who were sent to fight in the name of their country (but for the wrong real purpose) and did so to the best of their abilities and material capabilities against a much more superior, professional and experienced armed forces as the British and their allies were.
Jun 05th, 2011 - 02:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think the Brits and the Falklanders have a strong point. YOU SHOULD only try to study just a little history of the XXth century, and you will come to appreciate that HAD it not been for the Americans, the British, and the French, in both WWI and WWII, the whole world would be either a part of the German Reich II or part of Hitler´s Nazi Germany... Just watch the movie Saving Private Ryan,... see the first minutes... then watch those movies about how they fought the Japanese in Okinawa and then, tell me: “WHO stood up for the world´s democracy and freedom in the XXth century??” The USA, Britain, France did... then ask yourself, ”Who stood up against (whether righ or wrong about the methodology used) the Big Red Soviet dictatorial Threat on the world??“ I am not saying we should have been involved in those wars, but we dont have a right to ask for a place in the sun, man, while we stood aside doing nothing not for Europe or the world but for ourselves as a country. So let´s be more respectful of those countries who fought not only for their own survival but also for the survival of the others in their continents, and made themselves stronger. They are not perfect countries but they have proved to be how to stay above... Don´t you think so? And what they say is true... our neighbors in Latin America dont love Argentina deep down in their hearts as you may think... quite the contrary... why is that so? It merits a whole book to explain it thoroughly. I just say, ”hold your horses,... look around the world, look at the history and then after some deep thinking and mulling, utter your opinion with humbleness.
Copper- I think you may find that Chile is way ahead of Arg

The gas import is due to the depressed price inside.The gas in Argentina is extremely cheap.There are 9 pipelines to export the gas,to Chile,Uruguay and Brasil.
The import is an artificial mechanism to get better prices.
I will agree on your beef- some of the best in the world - trouble is now most of the best beef farmers have gone to Uruguay and Brazil driven out by crazy Kirschener politics!
You are rigth about the bad politics for farmers.Argentina is the only place that the farmers are taxed heavily.They can absorb that because of the efficiency.
I agree about the Red russia scheme to take over the world.But argentina always was on the allied side.Sending over 5000 volunters inWWII, and contributing against the spread of comunism.

“volunters ”
Brain fart? They were not sent. Plus 5,000? Compaired to the 100 million or so who fought in the war.
... what I said... they weren't sent... they volunteered... they were Anglo RGs
Jun 05th, 2011 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0...RGland was fascist then ( as ever) ... peopled largely by Spaniards and Italians... whose homelands then were?.... oh...fascist.... funny that.... deja vu all over again....
It seems that argie bloggers are just using excuses to justify what they did, and then drag up over 100 years of history , and still can’t justify anything,
Jun 05th, 2011 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The facts begins in part.
Argentina invaded the Falkland’s without provocation, she was not abused threatened or intimidated, but invaded for whatever reason, they had to start a war, the Falkland’s were innocent victims and unwilling hostages’, to be attacked by a people [at that time] they thought were friendly, the British on the other hand, had no choice but to surrender, after being out manned out gunned, ect, all the British military did, was to send a task force to defend British territory, and to remove the invaders, and this we did, at a cost of human lives, and to this day, Argentina and her few friends do nothing but blame Britain for the whole thing, even today, Argentina tries to intimidate harass, abuse and blockade something that they stole in the first place, when and only when Argentina get civilised enough and man enough to admit there guilt, and to let the Falkland’s live in peace, as long as they are being aggressive, there can never be peace, and all because Argentina wont admit that she and only she was in the wrong,
Leave the Falkland’s alone, sign a peace agreement, excepting the islands as a free and independent country , and grow up , ??? Just a thought .

@51 Briton,
Jun 06th, 2011 - 08:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Very well said!
Estevez - you have been dealing with a student from India. Woop woop for you. How would you do a deal with the two hundred in my faculty. Iraq, yep one of our GTAs and two of our full professors are from Iraq. They don't appear to have a problem with the UK or Brits for that matter! Come to think of it our newest post-doc appears to like us as well and she was born in Shiraz (Iran).
Jun 06th, 2011 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When you are ready to live up to even my lowest expectations then I may decided to pay you some respect.
Enjoy the champagne. My pal has a vintage Argentine rifle from 1982. One previous owner, never been fired!
Today HMS Illustrious is back in business , and still has her flight deck and ramp, she starts 7 weeks of trials then back with the fleet,
Jun 06th, 2011 - 10:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0mmmmmmmm
HMS Illustrious is going to take on the role of LPH and relieve HMS Ocean in 2012, since Ocean herself needs a refit, so this makes sense.
Jun 07th, 2011 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0I understand the ramp remains on Lusty, but as JFH has been axed it won't be launching fixed wing aircraft. Lusty is to remain in service until Ocean has completed her refit in 2014.
Once Ocean is refitted, Lusty will retire, although the Brazilian Navy may show an interest, since I understand they were impressed with HMS Ocean's capability during the Joint Exercises held with the UK in 2010, when the Defence Cooperation Agreement was signed on board the LPH.
Brazilian Navy and Marine Personnel were deployed onto HMS Ocean, alongside Royal Navy and Royal Marines Personnel, for interoperability training, and no doubt such experience will be fresh in the minds of the Brazilians when Lusty is decommissioned in 2014.
We heard very little about this joint exercise in South America, and the Defence Cooperation Agreement with Brazil, signed on board HMS Ocean, is always dismissed as irrelevant by Argentines; I think it is more significant than anyone realises.
51. You're not really acquainted with the islands' actual possibilities of becoming a free, independent country. They had approved a huge refurbishing of the port area, to be done with own resources i.e. the UK would not pay a penny for it, but MoD prohibited it. Is that a sign of colonialism or what? Just tell me. Cheers!
Jun 07th, 2011 - 01:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 058: All overseas territorys can hold a referendum and have independance if they wish, so yes he is acquainted.
Jun 07th, 2011 - 03:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not heard about the MoD prohibiting the docks, link?
I can't see that the MoD would have any say in the refurbishing of port facilities on the Falklands, especially if it is an FIG project, so some proof is required here.
Jun 07th, 2011 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its always a vague area when you ask Argentines to produce real and verifiable original evidence...RG, if you could provide such evidence in support of such an allegation, I'll consider it.
Not holding my breath.
51 Argie- as usual and in line with your fellows - you talk out of your arse!
Jun 07th, 2011 - 09:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK MOD OWN their port - it is theirs - The Islands Govt gave them the land to build it on so they own it. Perfectly natural for them to decide if they do or do not want to share it - their choice.
MOD has not - not in any way could it - say yes/no to us developing a new port anywhere that is not on their land!
So back to point i made,,
Jun 07th, 2011 - 10:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the argie blogers just throw mud to the wind, and see what comes back.
Any building work on the falklands would certainly be done with the consent and consultation with the islanders, we british are not dictators and they know it, , the argis just want to stir up trouble, even when their is none,, and they still lost, and still are losers ,
“ .. Is that a sign of colonialism or what? Just tell me. Cheers..”
Jun 08th, 2011 - 02:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hey, no problem. No, it is not a sign of colonialism. Happy now?
there are soooo many places called “Malvinas Argentinas” in Argentina that IF our gov´t finally made up its mind to take the case to the ICJ AND then lose it, well... What would happen to all those names of places, street names, plazas, schools, sports centers, stadiums, etc??
Jun 08th, 2011 - 03:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0I´ll take a guess: the RG gov´t will find out after an incredible study that there is actually a place called Malvinas in the South Atlantic, Staten Island is that place, and could well serve as a real good replacement of a “fantasy” land for a “real” piece of land. ooops!
yes Gotey, l can see that would be a problem.
Jun 08th, 2011 - 09:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0The most amazing thing about the Falklands War was a country - where a fascist military dictatorship had secretly (and not so secretly) murdered over 50,000 of its own people, mainly between the ages of 18 and 35, then invaded a small group of wind swept islands occupied by 1,800 people and yet the vast majority of the Argentine population came on to the streets in support of this blatant act of aggression! In almost any other country on earth the population would have reacted with anger, yet another abuse by a military dictatorship against not just its own people, its military (mainly conscripts - ie slaves) but also another country - in the case of Britain a country with close links to the Argentine people.
Jun 10th, 2011 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've met many Argentine of British decent and I have a number of Argentine friends. Argentina is a wonderful country but your claim over the Falkland Islands and parts of Chile and your blind patriotism which has enabled subjugation by military and fascistic governments for decades is a serious problem.
The Falkland Islands have never been part of Argentina. The Falkland Islanders have no wish to be part of Argentina. The only time the Falkland's have been under an Argentine flag was 29 years ago, at the end of a gun! IS that a kind of endorsement for Argentine sovereignty?
I don't want a slanging match saying how great Britain is or how great Argentina is. In the case of the Falkland Islands the only thing that matters are the people who live there, they've made that place, they've built that place, they've weathered the storms, fought the winds, farmed the land, fished the seas - they are the ones (if you believe in freedom and liberty) who should have the say on their own self determination. Any other stance over the Falklands is a fascist stance of intent to subjugate.
Britain and Argentina could work together for the benefit of the Falklands but the Argentine government has rejected this. Let's have peace, rather than war.
JarrettSmith: The benefit of the Islanders does not benefit Argentina, so this will not happen.
