indeed briton, it is interesting for me. I love history where my country played a role. It's all old glory, but from the past you learn.

Manrod clown, I don't dislike or hate Chileans. I have no problems with them, but I typed my opinion about your country even if you don't like that. Chile is a beautiful nation, though the Chileans are friendly, quiet, people but not creative at all, compare to other people of nations in South America.

Fido, it's somewhat funny to see your try to hide the obvious...

“Chileans are friendly, quiet, people but not creative at all, compare to other people of nations in South America.”

How could you get to this conclusion or what exactly motivated you to say the last part of the sentence? This shows hints that you have not really dealt with chilean history, people, literary and art at all, because it does not interest you and more: because it can be read in your past comments that you do feel antipathy for us (which in all previous reasons is your just right, freedom above all...), but spreading misinformation about that we were “traitors” in the Malvinas war, based on your leaking historical background.
But then admit it at least. You dont like Chile and/or Chileans, that's ok!
I, for example, like the Netherlands alot (which I have visited about 20 times, specially the north, where alot of people live a simple and healthy life).

PS: Who was ever talking about “hating” ?
Subconcience? I hope you haven't had a too bad personal experience yourself that marked you so deeply. If yes, sorry for it.

PS2: Fido Dido is not a publicity comic from Sprite, but 7up ;)

To say that Chile was a “traitor” to Argentina during the Falklands war of aggression is an utter stupidity! Why?
In 1984, Chile and Argentina signed a Treaty of Peace and Friendship. No such treaties are signed between “friends”!
Argentinean bla bla has no limits.
