Jul 12th, 2011 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos Alejandro-------Surprised you know who Ghandi was, well well you learn something every day, or did you Google who he was.
Jul 12th, 2011 - 08:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If he googled better he'd know Ghandi spent most of his life fighting for us and never “defeated” us.

Jul 12th, 2011 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ghandi did not defeat the British,
He was a brilliant servant to peace and his own morals, but sadly for India, he was shot by one of his OWN people .
So please don’t bring him into this poor chap
You always have to be negative,
Why cant you talk about something nice Argentina has done for the world,
Besides breaking all known rules of international law,
Illegally invading an innocent little island,
Taking innocent children hostage,
Defecating holy places, throwing nuns out of copters,
Say something nice, lol.
@8 briton,

Jul 13th, 2011 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest. ('Gandhi, An Autobiography')
Jul 13th, 2011 - 03:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mahatma Gandhi quote
Albert Einstein had famously said about Mahatma Gandhi, “Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood.” It is indeed hard to believe that a short man dressed only in a loin cloth could lead an entire nation to take on the mighty British Empire using non-violent means. Yet, that is what Mahatma Gandhi did.
That's right Marco. I suspect if you lot ever got your hands on this place we'd have to take you on wearing a few more clothes.

Jul 14th, 2011 - 12:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0There are no plans to decommission HMS York, the Royal Navy's fastest destroyer. Note that Argies, it's a DESTROYER. It destroys things. Like aircraft, ships, submarines and anything else within range. Particularly things that have yellow in their flags!
Jul 14th, 2011 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's flag has a heart of ... yellow!
Jul 14th, 2011 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain's flag in Iraq and Afghanistan has a heart of...yellow!
Jul 14th, 2011 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And in Libia?
So much for the 2-week No Fly Zone :-))

What flag was that Marcos? Last time I checked the Union flag had no yellow.
Jul 14th, 2011 - 05:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 02-week No Fly Zone? Erm, I think you'll find the UN Resolution (1973) bringing about the no fly zone was in March. Nearly FOUR MONTHS ago. But then that's no surprise, because you Argies tend to ignore UN Resolutions when they don't suit you - like Resolution 502.
Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed we are helping the Libyan rebels defeat a tyrant. And they are doing pretty well. They'll be in Tripoli soon...

And all without the help of Argentina .
Jul 14th, 2011 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Did Marcos forget that in 1982 the flagships of the ARA were 2 x Type 42 destroyers?
Jul 14th, 2011 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Probably
Jul 14th, 2011 - 07:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0he seems to have forgot , they lost too lol.
I understand they are still the flagships of the ARA, although they have been docked for so long they need WD40 to peel them from the dockside.
Jul 14th, 2011 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As far as I can see the ARA is just a Maritime Museum.
Apparently
