    It looks like they have a lot more say than we do. I would rather talk to a British governor, than to the ignorant Peronist fascists who make our government.

    18 Benito: I do not take this wrong but it answers to our questions.
    With all due respect, I really do not think you're Argentina, because we do not forget about our veterans and even the English who were also victims of this conflict.
    We are very proud of our president, who in spite of British aggression, continues to promote peace and dialogue among peoples. Read the 10 UN resolutions have called for the UK to sit down and negotiate on our sovereignty and it is the duty of all members to accept the resolutions of the Assembly.
    Read resolution 2065 (XX) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160, XXVIII) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37 / 9), 1983 (38/12), 1984 (39 / 6) 1985 (40/21), 1986 (41/40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25).

    Benito said, I am embarrassed to be Argentine, our country is going in the same way as it did with Perón

    Sit proud to be Argentine, learn from Peron who taught us social justice. Economic independence and political sovereignty.

    Benito: For youth in Argentina, the Malvinas are an irrelevance, the government and the right to keep pushing this cause mad and I worry that will bring us back to 1982.

    You're wrong, Falkland institutional cause all Argentines, of all generations and political stripes and is a factor of unity for all citizens beyond the current government.

    Benito: The Case of Bob Peck is another disgusting example of how low our government will be inclined by propaganda.

    Bob understood the nature of conflict and do not hesitate to act on their own arguments and convictions. You will be surprised that many islanders think like and can not speak for fear of discrimination and retaliation by the government.
    Benito: Do ​​not condemn, you have your own reasons, I respect you, but you're wrong. Give up hatred and resentment towards your land, do not be an instrument of colonialism and imperialism and be an instrument of peace, dialogue among peoples. Remember Pérez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize and understand. Thank you very much.

    Peace and dialogue?

    You address the islanders in racist terms, you try to oppress them with economic sanctions and claim they aren't really people.

    Arsesholes, all of you.

    The Falkland Islands has been a British Territory since 1833 regardless of the history behind how it happened and the residents want it to remain so. I'm sure if the Argentine Government can convince them otherwise they will be more than happy to transfer. But causing boycotts at International Fishery conferences for FI delegates and stopping vessels the right of innocent passage through their waters if they have been to the Falklands isn't really the way to do it. Argentina needs to grow up and stop acting like a spoilt child in a playground. You got your nose bloodied in 82, led into it by a despot dictator whose popularity was waining but this is the 21st century no, 30 years have passed, you have a democracy and have a chance to become a stage player in world affairs. Act like it!

    Raul, please show us one single resolution that says sovereignty belongs to Argentina. And it is not a duty, UNGA resolutions are not binding.

    THERE ARE NO RESOLUTIONS REGARDING ARGENTINE SOVERIGNTY FROM THE UN. THEY ARE OWNED BY THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, SHE CONTROLS THE WORLD VIA US AND NEW WORLD ORDER OF MASONIC LODGES BASED IN SCOTLAND.

    I have been reading a website on all of this information here - http://www.illuminati-news.com/

    Also listen to the President of Iran, he says 911 was carried out by American's on themselves, he is a good man who supports G77 call for talks on las malvinas, so I believe what he. This was used as pretext to create NWO. There is no Arab terrorists, only CIA and MI%.

    There is a secret seal on the dollar bill with letters New World Order!

    Billious, as the Falklands do not YET have full independence, and while the UK retains the responibility for the Islands foreign affairs, it is hardly surprising the the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has a web site dealing with the Falkland Islands.

    IT WAS THE SAME WITH CANADA. THE QUEEN RULES CANADA AND SUSPENDED PARLIAMENT SEVERAL TIMES SO NO DEBATE COULD BE HAD.

    IN QUEBEC IS WORSE, WHERE I LIVE MONTREAL THE ENGLISH FLAG IS FLOWN AND ENGLISH!!! IN CENTRE OF THE CITY IS NELSONS COLOUM AND HERE EVERY WEEKEND ARE ENGLISH CANADIANS LOOKING FOR FIGHT!!!

    THEIR COMMONWEALTH IS RULED BY MONARCHY UNELECTED BY NO ONE.

    “ ... Let me be quite clear on the question of independence. Successive British governments have said that it is for the Territories themselves to decide whether they wish to remain connected to the United Kingdom but that any decision to cut that link should be on the basis of the clearly expressed wish of the majority of the people of the Territory...”

    I JUST REALIZE THAT BILLY HAYES IS ANGLO ARGENTINE AND IS A TRAITOR TO ARGENTINA.

    THE ANGLOS ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS. THEY ARE COLONIAL PIRATES.

    OUR GOVERNMENT IS MADE UP OF SECOND AND THIRD GENERATION EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS BUT THE PEOPLE OF LAS MAVLINAS ARE COLONIALS EVEN THOUGH THEY THERE FOR 177 YEARS. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT.

    MY FAMILY COME TO ARGENTINA IN 1955 FROM ITALY AND THEN LEFT FOR CANADA BUT WE ARE ALL ARGENTINE, UNLIKE THE PIRATES WHO LIVE IN MALVINAS FOR 177 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just realize that Billy Hayes ARGENTINE ANGLO AND IS A TRAITOR TO ARGENTINA.

    Pitiful and pathetic your comment. Who are you to judge others? Do you have the Argentinólogo which measures the degree of patriotism in Argentina?
    It is more humble and tolerant in your comments, measure your words, you do disservice to those who try to do understand the arguments Argentinos.

    @ 23 “I just realize that Billy Hayes ARGENTINE ANGLO AND IS A TRAITOR TO ARGENTINA.” here it goes again, same old same old. Stupid, patriotism doesn't mean stupidity. Do you think that because you throw those words around we will feel guilty? We are betraying what? huh? Go back to school where you can brainwash children.

    @17 etc. You're quite right, flippo. We Brits are clever that way. Have you cut YOUR balls open to check whether there are any British messages? You might also want to ensure that you never indulge in any practices where a message could be sucked out of your balls. As a matter of interest, what are you doing in Canada? A country that owes three-quarters of its ancestry to Britain. A subversive perhaps. Given your comments, perhaps I should report you to the Canadian authorities as a potential terrorist. What do you think? What passport do you have, flippo?
