    You know, it's a funny old thing! Our new found idiot ... sorry, playmate Jonah is remarkably quiet. Now, come to think of it, he was only ever on the one thread. He must know there are more stories from Mercopress and therefore more threads? Don't you think? I mean, as a self professed 'researcher', he'd know that there was not just the one thread ..... wouldn't he?

    We do attract some strange people on here ... and that's just me :-))

    interesting comments,
    does it really matter if everyone supports argentina,
    and no one supports great britain, [think about it]
    we will defend the falklands as long as the falklands freely want to be british,

    but will the rest of the world, defend argentina, over thier false claims,
    interesting senario ??

    if not, then may i suggest argentina find some more friends,

    WRONG! You will defend Malvinas,as long as you can.The minute the other side is stronger ,militaryyou will quit.Like uk did in the Chagos(BTW,the queen agrred to let it happens with the chagosians).Of course,HK,Chagos,uk cannot possible beat eithe China or USA.....

    Well, the comments are divided. In one hand we have my fellows claiming again and again Falklands belong to Argentina. In the other hand we have the rest of the world making fun of these claims.
    As an Argentine, living and suffering in Argentina, let me say most of the people here does not care about Falkland. We have so many others problems to worry about.
    What everyone MUST understand is: Falkland belong to the islanders, they deserve their right to self-determination, and they can be associate to any State or country they want. PERIOD!!

    briton (#30) just “argent” and we would be fans of Rod Argent.

    Soy Argentino, vivo en el departamento de Las Heras en la provincia de Mendoza. Muchos de los que aquí postean diciendose argentinos NO viven en Argentina. Posteastes acerca de mi comentario en otra nota, preguntándote porqué llamo Falkland a las islas. Simplemente porque ese es el verdadero nombre, quizás tengas razón en que no muchos argentinos (ó casi ninguno) la denominen así cuando desde pequeños nos enseñan a llamarlas “Malvinas”. Pero no es mi culpa si nuestros propios gobiernos nos han ido enseñando una historia falseada.

    It's not a question of size Malen. It's a question of principle. Just because you killed fewer people does not give you higher moral ground. Anyway, we are talking about history. The past. The present is all about human rights. The Falkland Islanders have universal human rights. One of those is a right to self determination. Perhaps Argentina should join the real world and wake up to the facts.

    yes its a question of number that are significantly but significantly in millions diffferent. i dont eat your glass. and its a question that the wars of independence of conquest had a razon a real motive 200 of years ago, they have a beginning and an end, they have agreements, the wars you do are for business, you continue doing them in the 21 st century, never pacificates nothing, never ends nothing, every century every year of your country you are killing in the name of peace. a special way of understanding peace, with the international consentiment affecting millions of people, whose rights are not in yours considerations. i dont buy your speech and there are movements all over the world that says the same dont it either. and yes our moral is better, we have had wars but are living in pacificates times, with lots more of justice and always trying to found pacific solutions to our problem, uniting with our neighbours in commerce in defense etc. yes i think we aree better, proud of it.

    Malvinero, you were accusing us of being master “pirates and killers”, you didn't mention anything about the UN. That doesn't change the fact that you stole the Chaco and Patagonia and killed almost all the native people who lived there.

    Oh, and nobody complains?
    http://actualidad.rt.com/actualidad/america_latina/issue_8869.html

    As for UN Resolution 1514, it's obvious that you have not read it. I quote the second declaration in that resolution:

    “All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”

    Here, in Spanish just to make sure you get the picture:

    “Todos los pueblos tienen el derecho de libre determinación; en virtud de este derecho, determinan libremente su condición política y persiguen libremente su desarrollo económico, social y cultural.”

    Erm Malen. Your war of independence was in 1810. Your war of conquest was in the 1870s. Two different things. Don't try and tell us they were the same thing. Oh, and you were still killing natives in your conquista del Chaco in the 21st century.

    Just one example:
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masacre_de_Napalp%C3%AD

    So, no, you are no better morally than anyone who has killed and conquered. Oh, and you always try to find peaceful solutions to your problems? So I guess your armed invasion of the Falklands in 1982 (that's the 21st century by the way) was peaceful??? I don't think so...

    indiginous here live in poor conditions they have other culture other language other customs they live in inhospit places too and are forgotten by governments generally they receive more from personal movements that work with them and help them

    Well Malen, it appears you tried to conflate your wars of independence and your wars of conquest in your original comment. The fact is they were two completely different episodes in your history - about 60 years apart. As I have already demonstrated you were still killing “inconvenient” natives in the 21st century. Part of your wars of conquest. Here's another example:
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masacre_de_Rinc%C3%B3n_Bomba
    And it seems your war of conquest over the natives continues today. Your indigenous people live in poor conditions because that's the way your government treats them, keeps them down and denies them opportunities. So don't lecture us about the morals and colonialism when you are doing exactly the same thing TODAY!

    Are you telling me Argentina does not have an arms industry? Perhaps you forgot about this:
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masacre_de_Rinc%C3%B3n_Bomba

    Oh, and as for us “conquering the middle east”, your assertion really doesn't hold any water. The facts show otherwise. We are no longer in Iraq (where we were as part of a multi-national coalition). And we have already announced a withdrawal from Afghanistan, where we are also part of a MULTI-NATIONAL COALITION. If you accuse us of conquering the middle east, then you are also accusing Spain of the same thing, because they are part of the coalition. Poland as well. And Canada, etc, etc.

    .... indigenous is not a war roberts..... dont mix..... indigenous is other kind of problem i recoignize because i dont either glass of my own country there is a reality that is very complex cultural, social, many things i support our indigenous ...
    dont compare your inability for peace with our condition of country in development or part of the third world 2 different things

    You don't buy wikipedia. No problem with that. But are you denying that the Napalpi and Rincon Bomba massacres did not happen?

    So you are not denying you have an arms industry. Just earlier you were accusing us of being so bad because we had an arms industry, like you didn't. Billions of billions? Does it make a difference. It's a matter of principle. You have an arms industry so you don't really have a leg to stand on. The UK economy is billions of billions bigger than Argentina's so it's no surprise your arms industry is smaller.
    You have arms for defence? Only? Oh, well that didn't stop you using them for offence in 1982. So really, you do speak tonterias.

    The indigenous not a war? Well the way you treat them most people would think you are fighting a war against them. Stealing their land and forcing them into poverty and destitution. Depriving them of their rights - just like you want to do to the Falkland Islanders.

    You don't “buy” my “speech” about coalition. Well you don't have to buy it. What you can't change are the facts. It is a fact that the UK was part of a coalition in Iraq and is now part of a coalition in Afghanistan. Still, that doesn't change the fact that your assertion that the UK is “conquering the middle east” has no basis at all. The facts all point in the opposite direction.

    Why don't we stop selling arms? Why don't you drop your stupid and unsustainable claim to the Falkland Islands?

    we argentines never make business with arms,(always agriculture and ganadería) mostly that why we have a very little commerce if there is one, is sth a country chooses you want a pacificate world or a more violent .......you built as a country your potence and money selling arms
    well the spanish that came to colonized killed a lot of indigenous ...argentines and me myself have indigenous roots..their land and rights are protected by constitution the condition of poverty is also they are closed comunities and their own work is very precarius they live in different ways we do dont likes cities for ex
    you are in iraq afghanistan libya after selling them arms and destabilization their countries ....you then invade them but never pacificates nothing on the contrary you generates more wars and more revenge
    and our claim on malvinas is absolutely legal, under law and sustaintable.............if it bothers you you know you can sit at the UN and end with this if not you can cry and continue writting here

    You Argies never make business with arms? Never? Oh, so I guess the Fabricas Militares are just for fun?

    Now you blame the Spanish for killing the indigenous. Well that's true, but don't forget that you got your independence in 1810 but you didn't start the Conquista del Desierto until the 1870s. So you Argentines also killed a lot of indigenous. Right up until the 1940s you were killing them. Even now you deny them rights and opportunities.

    We are not in Iraq any more. Please get your facts right. Nor are we in Libya. We are withdrawing from Afghanistan.

    No, your claim is not sustainable. And nor is it legal. You would have tested it in court by now if you believed that. Believe me, I am not crying over anything. The only people who cry are the Argentines...

    Malen. The UN does not recognise your claim. It calls on the UK and Argentina to settle their differences about sovereignty, but absolutely nowhere does it recognise your claim or give it any kind of validity. This is a fact you cannot get around.

    Where are the British troops in Libya? Where are they?

    I never denied that we killed people during our colonial period. What I merely pointed out is that you also killed people when you were conquering territory in Patagonia and the Chaco. You are just as guilty as us of genocide, you have no right to any moral high ground. That's not mixing themes, that is just stating the facts.

    we did good and bad, but is now irrelivent,
    the future is what maters,

    Bank of Nova Scotia drops legal actions against Argentina for 600m dollars
    Argentina defaulted on a record 95 billion of bonds in 2001 and began restructuring the debt in 2005.

    Argentina also has a pending debt in the range of 7 billion dollars with the Club of Paris of sovereign creditors. Apparently negotiations are in process although a major stumbling block besides terms and discounts is the fact the deal has to be audited by the IMF, to which the President Cristina Fernandez administration refuses point blank as a matter of policy.

    And they are trying to convince us , that we are in debt,
    Pot==kettle==black==lol.
    all they can afford is two rowing boats, and bows and arrows .lol
