    Think- you dont know either! Its a pretty dumb business that does not give a positive outlook to a fair survey report! Truth, as they you and me and everyone else knows - is actually only revealed when they make a hole and see what is there or maybe was there. Early days yet and I imagine a lot of folk lost money on the crazy media led investor frenzy when it all started - nowadays people are naturally a bit more cautious with their money! Mind you the sensible clever folk still made money!
    He who is chuckling when all the results of actual driulling are out will be the one who chuckles longest! Lets wait and see who that will be.

    Because in the end share prices will change the fact that there is oil there?

    What's the matter, Twinky old boy? Upset that the Falkland Islanders may be about to make lots of money out of THEIR resources?

    The frequency of your comments seems to be getting less and their tone more nervous. Haven't your masters, or is that your mistress, told you what to say?

    Naturally, you do know that if you want to be belligerently physical, Britain has the power to wipe your miserable little country off the planet, don't you?

    Rushing around the world spouting your tripe to country after country and organisation after organisation is getting you nowhere, is it? Falkland Islanders still live on THEIR islands. Still a British Overseas Territory. Have you considered the International Court of Justice?

    the International Court of Justice?

    No British university, think tank or specialist has accepted the democratic exercise of an academic debate with their Argentine counterparts on the rights of the Falklands.

    Raul,

    That is incorrect, you should read all of that series.

    How are your friends at El Malvinense, is this the best you could come up with to counterbalance Argentina's refusal to go to the ICJ?

    Argentina cannot go to the ICJ - too many successive argentine governments would be shown up as liars when they lost!

    Cristina's clan would get lynched :-)

    Even if they did go to the ICJ, and it ruled against them, they wouldn't accept the ruling. Born whingers who just cannot accept that they are wrong.

    Dear JustinKuntz: I appreciate your attention to me his suggestion. Obviously I read the whole series, to have critical thinking, but deemed necessary to stop to analyze that any British university or institution has accepted without any commitment or that compromise the democratic exercise of an academic debate with their Argentine counterparts on the rights of Malvinas. Including UBA (Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires) has attempted this debate before 1982 and in the nineties. It seems they do not dare to debate with real foundation and objectively, on an equal footing and in a climate without rancor and resentment on the topic.
    Do not get me wrong, or react with fury, but the strict truth.
    If you read quietly and without hate the article by the former Minister Cisneros said that react like hooligans and barbarians when dealing with the subject. Who is civilized and who is the barbarian?

    How are your friends in the Falklands, is this the best we can to counter Argentina's refusal to go to the International Court of Justice?

    Why can not their friends? The fact different opinion does not mean they stop being human and are entitled to free speech as do you and me.
    thank you very much

    “No British university, think tank or specialist has accepted the democratic exercise of an academic debate with their Argentine counterparts on the rights of the Falklands.”

    “El pasado lunes 19 de abril se llevo a cabo el seminario ”Perspectives on Argentina“, organizado por APARU y la Camara de Comercio Argentino Britanica, que con el apoyo de la Embajada de la Republica Argentina en Londres. Con un publico que supero las 200 personas en un aula del London School of Economics.”

    That was honestly too easy to prove wrong Raul. Do your research because clearly Mr Cisneros didn't. This is probably why he didn't reply to Dr Peppers last post.

    In a civilised country if you have a dispute that cannot be solved , then you go to court,
    In an uncivilised country, you try your damdest to persuade, anybody that your version is true,

    At the end of the day, no matter what you believe, the simple truth is this.
    Go to court and settle it there so the whole world can see,

    Or just sit in the corner and try to delude yourself that your right,

    14 and 15 Zethee Zeth

    Do you use two identities to answer quickly or reactionary?
    You do not give rise to other participants say.

    “The legality of the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands was discussed in a transgressor in academic debate and the prestigious London School of Economics for the first time in Beijing”

    I read the link I suggested, www.aparu.org.uk/past6.php
    Nowhere is this phrase I figure you say you discussed the issue. Do not get me wrong, but you are wrong on the link or is deceiving me?

    That was actually very easy to deny Raul. Do your research because it is clear that Mr. Cisneros did not. This is probably why not responded to Dr. Pepper last message.

    Why is so biased and presumptuous? I made further inquiries and not just by and if there have been other debates, but on a smaller scale or degree with other equally valuable but NEVER the same degree and extent that a state university and government prestige. Example: University of Cambridge and Oxford with the UBA (University of Buenos Aires or UNC) or its equivalent in each country to generate cubic opinion.
    I think the former Minister Cisneros was referring to this type and magnitude of debate without neglecting other smaller scale.

    This is what you stated:
    “No British university, think tank or specialist has accepted the democratic exercise of an academic debate“

    This is where i proved you wrong:
    ”The legality of the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands was discussed in a transgressor in academic debate“

    You, along with your minister are both wrong in this. Now along to the second point...... Firstly, im no expert in Spanish....But where in that link does it say Beijing? And since when has the London school of economics been in Beijing...?

    ”I made further inquiries and not just by“

    That's clearly a load of rubbish. This information took me a whopping 30 seconds to find.

    ”NEVER the same degree and extent that a state university and government prestige. Example: University of Cambridge and Oxford with the UBA (University of Buenos Aires or UNC) or its equivalent in each country to generate cubic opinion.“

    Couple points here. London School of Economics is one of the highest rated universitys in the entire world. It is plenty prestigious enough to hold these talks. Any university in the UK has a higher score than the universitys in Argentina and thus are on equal footing to hold any discussions. Secondly there was representatives from both governments at the meeting.

    ”I think the former Minister Cisneros was referring to this type and magnitude of debate without neglecting other smaller scale.“

    Change your tune as much as you like. It doesn't wash here, what you both said was clear:

    ”No British university, think tank or specialist has accepted the democratic exercise of an academic debate”

    Not no certan or Oxford has accepted. He said none, as in not one. And he....Along with you was wrong.

    Also to answer your other question: I use two accounts because this website lacks an edit button and i often forget to put stuff in my posts before sending them...For example.

    Another point i'd like to make. The London School of Economics is part of the Golden Triangle which is a group of the south's most prestigious education projects. Part of the G5(Highest ranked British university's) It has the highest ammount of research coming from it than any other British university and often has more people from different nations than there members of the United Nations(Highest in the world).

    Secondly...London School of Economics is also known as(it's full name) London School of Economics and Political Science. It hosts the worlds largest political science library in the world.

    The meeting was held at the London School of Economics because that quite simply was the best place to do it.

    Ready to admit that you was just plain wrong yet?

    This is where I proved you wrong:
    “The legality of the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands was discussed in a transgressor in the academic debate”

    You have not proven anything or answered my question. I read again the link and nowhere does it say what you say you say.
    Be honest with yourself, if you have the wrong link and I'll understand not wanting you lied to me again, I'll also understand I am not the Inquisition to condemn you.
    Only show me in that link says what you say it says.

    You and your minister is both wrong in this. Now, with the second ...... First, im no expert in Spanish .... But where on that link it say Beijing? And since when has the London School of Economics to Beijing?

    Do not you understand, I did not write this, nothing to do with Beijing.

    That's clearly a lot of garbage. This information took me a whopping 30 seconds to find.

    Do you have experience in debates? Because I like to mock and insult those who think like you? Adjetivizas all do not understand.

    Any university in the UK has a higher score than the universitys in Argentina and are therefore equal to hold any discussion. Secondly, there were representatives of both governments at the meeting.

    Are they a race of humanity that we can not question anything?

    The meeting was held at the London School of Economics, as it simply was the best place to do it.
    Willing to admit it was simply wrong yet?

    I still insist: Show me WHERE THE LINK THAT SAYS FRAC you say. Nowhere LINK THAT SAYS I welcome the debate.
    Willing to admit that you cannot go wrong, it is human and Christian. Anyway I'm not one to condemn.
    Let me tell you a suggestion: leave the hatred and spite of all that is Argentina. And I've watched shows on your dialogues and interventions.
    God help you.

    On Monday April 19th was held the seminar “Perspectives on Argentina”, organized by APARU and British Argentine Chamber of Commerce, with the support of the Embassy of Argentina in London. With an audience of over 200 people in a classroom at the London School of Economics, panelists Prof. G. O'Donnell (University of Notre Dame, USA), Prof. George Philip (The London School of Economics) and Prof. Colin Lewis (The London School of Economics) discussed today and the prospects for Argentina in the political, social and economic, with active participation from the audience.
    welcomed the audience while moderating the debate was by Dr. Peter Edbrooke, President of the British Argentine Chamber of Commerce and Dr Aldo R. Boccaccini, president of APARU.

    thing, according to Dolzer, is to put under the conflict the Court the International of Justice of Is It.

    Well I read this, [and not fully understanding]
    But the names of Rudolf Dolzer and The Ambassador of Argentina in the UK, Dr Federico Mirré
    Were at meetings,. But Beijing? Was never mentioned
    Zethe it seems is correct . [just bits of extracts
