Jul 08th, 2011 - 07:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 02 ElaineB, You can stay at Malvina s Hotel, visit the mine fields that your British brothers don't want to remove. Also you can visit the beaches where hundreds of pilot whales wash ashore dead due to oil exploration or the beaches where millions of penguins died or starved to death thanks to the wonderful overfishing policies of the colonial British Government.
Jul 08th, 2011 - 10:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enjoy your visit to Malvinas and don't forget to go see The Figthing Pig Band(Malvinas U2 version) however don't get confused is not named in honor of Stephen Lux...

@4 You are right that he is child-like.
Jul 09th, 2011 - 12:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, the Argentines have nothing to do with the mines, oil exploration or over fishing .... a peace loving, environmentally friendly nation lol :-)
Jul 09th, 2011 - 12:42 am - Link - Report abuse 03 Marcos Alejandro------- Seems that you cant say anything without putting your foot in your mouth. Mysterious whale deaths off Argentina, seems that your toxic waste that you dump and the seagulls feeding of that toxic waste might be killing all these whales of the coast of Argentina www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuZLsx9PHww
Jul 09th, 2011 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And it seems that Argentina is also starving its penguins with over fishing, these penguins from Patagonia are being washed ashore in Brazil starving and weak.

One day Marcos you will learn to keep your sarcastic thoughts to yourself, because as you now see anything that colonial British Government can do to hurt the environment the the stupid Argentine Government can do better

Or how about these oil soaked penguins
Efforts underway to save oil-soaked penguins in Argentina
More than 140 petroleum-covered penguins, including several which succumbed after being poisoned by the oil, have been found in southern Argentina, officials said Wednesday.“We now have 130 penguins in our care and another 11 which have died,” said Silvia Montanelli, head of the region's ministry which oversees agriculture and gaming.She said the birds were part of a yearly migration of thousands of nesting penguins which in Argentina's Patagonia region after traveling thousands of miles from each year from southern Brazil.
Or these ones.

What islands occupied by Brits are Argentinean? nothing on my map or via the UN says Britain occupies any of your islands...or have we invaded Ilas De Le Estados??

Jul 10th, 2011 - 12:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least the bitter bile is only coming from the mouth of young Marcos;
Jul 10th, 2011 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0his other posting-buddies probably have less poison in their tongues;
maybe less hurt in their hearts - perhaps Marcos lost a relative in the Conflict.
Let's try to give him some peace, and allow the bitter soul to live a happier life within him.
mmmm rest in peace Marcos, mmm
Jul 10th, 2011 - 10:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0GeoffWard2, Hahaha, don't worry I am fine and I like Brits...but I don't like uninvited guest in my backyard.
Jul 10th, 2011 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In 1816, the United Provinces of the Rio Plata declared their independence from Spain. Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay then went their separate ways.
Jul 11th, 2011 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The bits that remained became Argentina - a federal state was formed in 1853-1861, known today as the Republic of Argentina.
In 1833, The Falkland Islands also assumed its present identity.
Just when did the Southern Cone and its constituent countries become 'your backyard', Marcos?
Bom dia Geo
Jul 11th, 2011 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In 1833, The Malvinas Islands were invaded by the same European empire that invaded land all over the world.
This 1800's cartoon is a perfect example( may need copy and paste)

It is time that this “creature”returns back to Europe, we live in the 21 st century now.
Yes, Marcos, but we can't turn the clock back, can we?
Jul 11th, 2011 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 097% of Argentineans would need to return to Europe etc also,
and it's my guess you would have to leave home also!
Just where is *your* backyard:
in the 21st C
in the 20th C
in the 19th C
in the 18th C?
Four little questions that will reveal so much about your family's place in the great people movements of the last century or two.
No value-judgements involved; just self-awareness.
In 1580, Rio Plata was invaded by the same European empire that invaded land all over the world.....
Jul 11th, 2011 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0eeerm umm I'm confused Morecrap, who needs to go back to Europe?!?
16 GeoffWard2, None of those Europeans claim any part of Argentina for their country of origin, they become part of Argentina. I can't say the same for a few hundreds British squatters in Malvinas Argentinas.
Jul 11th, 2011 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 017 Adam, I know you are confused, you were born in Comodoro Rivadavia.
Idiot boy Morcrap you lot are the squatters, give your land you call Argentina back to the indigenous people that you took it from killing most of them as you did it.

Morecrap to Adam Cockwell:
DIABLO YOU ARE SQUATTER BREEEETISH PIG DOG ADAM COCKWELL MERCOPRESS RHAURIE_SE_CRAUGHWELL, BOTTOMS MEN, I LIKE MEN LOOOK I POST PICTURE OF YOUR BOTTOM! YOU THREEE STOOGES
Adam Cockwell to Morecrap:
?!?!?!?!? Have you escaped from the local lunatic asylum? You sound like one disturbed little boy.....
Two points of interest
Jul 11th, 2011 - 11:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 01, It is time that this “creature “returns back to Europe, we live in the 21 st century now
If we did go back to empire, then Argentina would probably not exist now,
[as we beat the spannish]
2, The Malvinas Islands were invaded by the same European empire that invaded land all over the world
[][ the Malvinas does not exist, that’s why Argentina is so confused today,
Trying to claim something that she does not own or ever owned,
[the same European empire]]
Amazing how you lot forget to mention the Spanish or French or even the Portuguese
Empires, who between them caused more damage and destruction and deaths than the British ever did in south America,
Or once again like most uneducated brainwashed servants, it’s just purely
Jealousy and anti-British, and very very envious
Just a thought
,,

Seriously,
Jul 12th, 2011 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't hate ANY of my fellow men & women, no matter where they come from & where they settle.
I guess I have been lucky to have been born in the year I was born, missing conscriptions and wars; and those responsible for the deaths and mutilations of my family members are long gone and - in general terms - forgotten. In specific terms, of course, I never knew them.
My family have occasionally been held-up/mugged/etc, but this does not engender 'hate'.
I have spent my whole life in a multi-racial society surrounded by intelligent and not-so-intelligent peoples of so, so many belief-systems.
I feel unthreatened and, thus, I offer no threat.
There is no-one on this site with whom I would not and could not become friends.
That's why I keep coming back here.
Your words will take you to heaven
Jul 12th, 2011 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0depending on your beliefs
there words are harmless lol.,
