Jan 12th, 2012 - 12:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So the vessel flys the Falkland's flag until it gets near the port, changes to the Red Ensign as it enters. Does its business, and on the way ou puts the Falklands flag up again - and Argentina thinks it gained something!!
Funny !!
is very disconcerting, poor people must have a very strong personality conflict. they don´t want to live in Argentina but live in Argentina. they want to be British, or to be like the British, but they aren´t. they are nothing, so sad.

Jan 12th, 2012 - 04:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I insist...Is it hard to understand?
I cannot believe that We Chileans are being manipulated by the argentinians. They cowardly stole Patagonia from us right in the middle of a war to defend ourselves from the Peru-Bolivia condeferation in order to re-establish the Inca Empire. They've been claiming land since I can remember. Do they need more land space to contain poverty and corruption??
Jan 12th, 2012 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unbelievable! I feel terribly ashamed of having such a weak and coward government in Chile. No dignity left. Shame on us!
@8 Ask your government... If you're from Chile “really”
Jan 12th, 2012 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 9 what's the difference if he is or not from Chile? he's telling the truth, that's all that matters.
Jan 12th, 2012 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's just someone from Fackland “pretending” to be Chilean, which is pathetic if you ask me
Jan 12th, 2012 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@ 11 He's Chilean, and he's telling what at least 90% of Chileans think. Stop insisting with a Latin America brotherhood that is just a myth. No one likes fascists. Which is pathetic is your attitude, you believe that because you repeat the lies you yourself believe, countries like Uruguay and Chile will have to lick our b*tt just because you don't want to accept the truth, that is pathetic, if you ask me. He's Chilean, and 90% of Chileans would give everything the have to erase our country from the face of the earth, but if you want to believe your own lies thinking that Chileans love us and the there is something called Latin America brotherhood, it's all up to you :)
Jan 12th, 2012 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I spoke to some Chilean friends yesterday and they expressed the same sentiments as @8.

Yes and I spoke to my friends in Mongolia and New Zeland and they also said that All people in Latin America are sooooo bad... Bad bad bad people!!!

@ 14 LOL!
Jan 12th, 2012 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tis the truth. I took a couple of Chilean friends on a trips to Argentina (different times and different areas). Neither had visited before and both were completely surprised at the lower standard of living there. I guess they experienced the difference between what an Argentine says and the reality.
@6 - ”William Hague, anything else you wish to add? :-)))”

Elaine, I forgot to say that I just got a call from my friends in Ukrania and guess what.... They just called me to say that Argentines are bad people!! Isn't that incredible????

“Chile ratified this week that vessels flying the Malvinas flag will continue to be barred from Chilean ports”
2) Got it ?
“..if the vessels fly any other flag which is not that of the Malvinas Islands, which Chile does not recognize, they can call and dock in the country’s ports. ”
3) Got it ?
”A brief statement from the Chilean Foreign Affairs ministry indirectly refers to the latest (wrong) statement by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague.”
4) Got it ?
“..the Ministry of Foreign Relations must underscore that Chile will continue to apply, in accordance with International Law and Chilean legislation, the measures destined to impede vessels flying the flag of the Malvinas Islands from entering Chilean ports...”
5) Got it ?
How many FACTS you need for understand that NOBODY in LATAM will EVER recognise your supposed “rights” ? you´re only british invaders and you have rights of course in your loved UK...thats a FACT.

@ 22 I recommed you a glass of single malt Scotch, stop crying and smile, then go to sleep.
@ 21 They live in Argentina, so what? For you that means they will give up on their rights just because they live in Argentina? Are you that silly? They can live where they want. Reality is here, if you don't want to see it, that's ok, it's your madness :)
I just want to stand by my position in regards the Falklands issue. However, what I stated earlier is about the islands and the islands alone. I'm not for wiping off Argentina or anything like it. I do not hate Argentina. This is strictly about the islands. Therefore, I think we are all entitled to have a view on this matter. We have the right to disagree.If you have more jobs available in Argentina,well, great, really. I don't believe in a brotherhood either as otherwise There wouldn't be clashes between Argentina and Uruguay as it has recently happened and so forth.
Jan 12th, 2012 - 07:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe in cooperation but also in a certain degree of competition as this makes us better ourselves. But yes, we have a different view and that's OK. This blog, I believe, should not be used for “fighting” in it or speaking using offensive language from whichever side they may come from.

that the real fact what Chile and others latin countries do, they made Argies happy with false hopes
@ 23
Jan 12th, 2012 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fact 1 : no one cares about flags.
Fact 2: vessels are coming and going from and to the falklands, from and to the rest of the world.
Fact 3: They recognize the rights of the islanders, that's why those countries will never do anything that goes against the islanders.
Fact 4: Uruguay, Brazil, Chile keep the money, Argentina keeps vacuous words.
@ 25 The Malvinists want other countries to go against themselves just because they say we are brothers, for them Malvinas cause is something the world should get involved in. Countries are free to choose, but Malvinists don't know the meaning of that.

What actually doesn´t exist is a group of islands called Malvinas......if you check the world map. Maybe it was confused with the Atlantide.....a myth, of course as Malvinas.....
In the South Atlantic Ocean just exist a group of islands called Falklands Islands inhabited by brithis descendants from over 9 generations, and some other islands as South Georgias and South Sandwich Is.

@21 You seem to overlook the fact that many Argentines live without basic services, 3 million to start with in the shanty towns around Buenos Aires. And if you venture into the poorer provinces you can see real poverty.
Jan 12th, 2012 - 08:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have spent considerable time in both countries and the standard of living in Chile is better. It is certainly more expensive to live there but in all other aspects it trumps Argentina. IMO
I love spending time in Argentina. I like the craziness and eccentricity of the people. The 'live for the moment because tomorrow it could all be gone again' is infectious. I never fail to have a good time there but I would never live or invest money there.
Chile, on the other hand, would make a great country to have a second home. It is cleaner, safer, more reliable, beautiful, plus the government and authorities are the least corrupt in South America. It is the good house in a bad neighbourhood.
And the Chilean position is? Being bent over and shafted in the butt by Argentina.

Jan 12th, 2012 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, some small towns have good roads, others do not. I remember one time spending three hours driving on dirt tracks to get to a very lovely town in the Andes. Then there was a blackout in the middle of supper in a restaurant, so we ate by the light of the waiter's car headlights . : ) This was, apparently a regular occurance.
Still, it was a memorable evening as we sat drinking wine by candlelight in the hotel with a descendent of President Roca. He gave a very interesting version of the genocide that basically followed the line that 'the native people were Chilean so they were trespassing on Argentine soil and deserved to die'. We had a lively but respectful debate before retiring in the early hours. Power was restored in the morning after 12 hours. (The locals blamed the people of Buenos Aires for stealing their power but outside of BsAs they are blamed for every misfortune or bad event).
And I have visited a number of schools in Buenos Aires that, to be honest, I would not send a dog to, let alone a child. My friends there talk candidly of the terrible underfunding and poor facilities unless you pay. Worse still are the endless strikes by teachers.
Now, all of this is considerably better than some other Latin American countries I have visited and I admire the fact that Argentina tries to offer free education where many countries do not . But there is a considerable difference between what constitutes good education in the Southern Cone compared to developed countries.

”we have had productive and honest discussions with Uruguay, Chile and Brazil.

Well no, not really.
For most of our 178 year history we have flown our own flag wherever we chose and been welcomed as friends by our South American neighbours.
Your current round of political grandstanding is not our fault or our responsibility. And it will end, and sooner rather than later is my prediction.
Your government will realise that it is getting nowhere and is setting itself up for humiliation.
It will also realise that most Argentines couldn't care less about the Falkland Islands. Certainly not enough to be defied and humiliated by 3000 islanders.
The whole thing will just melt away.
Then the British base at MPA will be scaled back, we will probably go for some form of independence and we will all be friends again.

Here's a clue. Do you understand the concept of 'flag of convenience'? Now trot off and see whether you can figure out the number of boats/ships/vessels that operate under a 'flag of convenience'. When you have figured that out, you will be able to figure how much difference it makes to the Falklands. Of course, the Falklands would prefer to fly their own flag, but sometimes you have to go through the motions for the “kiddies”.

Not sure where you got that one from geo, but it's not correct.
The words ”English“ and ”England” derive from the name of the Germanic people who migrated to Britain in the 5th century. They traced their ancestry to Angeln in Denmark and were therefore known as the Engle or Angles (or ‘Anglii’ in Latin).
@96geo,
Jan 15th, 2012 - 04:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Crackpot @ 100 is correct.
Angle-land = England
Angles = Anglish = English
--------------------------------------------
Experts are unsure about the word Britannia.
lts possible that it came from Pretannia, which has some connection with the Picts, who were thought to inhabit modern England before the Celts arrived in about 500bc.
The Britons were a Celtic speaking people who were in possession of the land when the Romans arrived in, l think, 47ad.
Celtic speaking but, in blood, mixed with the original inhabitants.
Britishness is a creation of the city.England rules the island known as Great Britain.It likes to convey to the World the Unued Kingdom just as the Russians did with the USSR.But just as with the USSR the periphery is awakning and a large amount of Scots are beginning to see they have been screwed for centuries.

@105 ”Indeed the British are mostly the result of immigration from Angeln und Sachsen (Angles and Saxony)”
I'm not sure if that is really true. The Angles and Saxons certainly had a major cultural impact on Britain, but they probably had no more impact on the gene pool than any of the other populations migrating to Briton (Roman's, Vikings, Normans, etc). In fact, genetic evidence suggests that three quarters of the ancestors of the current population of England arrived in Britain over 7500 years ago. Rather than the Anglo-Saxons influencing the English gene pool, it is more likely that that they already had a shared genetic history with the ancient Britons before they arrived.

I could live with that (if it was true, which it isn't) - I have great respect for the Scandinavians (with the exception of one turnip, in particular). You seem to think that the British might have some issue with it. We don't - we are the product of multiple migrations of people from all over the world (like many other countries) and proud of it. All are welcome to come and join our gene pool.
If I examine my family history I find that I am about 1/8 Irish, but I count myself as an Englishman through and and through, and proud of it. I am also proud to be British.

The resting 5% of man who use this word, do generally use it for a specific person, which is quite universal I think... mothers-in-law.

@124. Ahh, you make some fair points but I have heard it used many times in Chile and Argentina. It really is not an insult in the UK, more of a tease or even used affectionately, though it is rare to hear it at all. I was not at all offended.
Jan 17th, 2012 - 09:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The first few times I heard it in both Chile and Argentina I assumed it was being used in the same way but there was a distinct edge. So, I asked about it. It is not unusual in Catholic countries for women to be painted negatively and repressed. As I have said, it does not offend me at all but it is interesting that it is considered an insult and widely used, even by the younger generation. As one young chap said to me, “All women are witches”. : )
Another time I was having lunch with a chap in Chile and we were discussing just about everything. He was a man with very definite views so I sat and let him talk as it was highly entertaining. (I won't go into his theories on Pinochet and how he never did anything wrong but was framed by the communists. I accept this is a polarising subject). Eventually, we discussed my recent trip to Chiloe and the folk law. He leant in and looked around before telling me in hushed tones that there was a town 200 km south of Santiago where all the women are witches. He really believed it but I suspect he just couldn't get a date.
Yes, I agree, I think women are often their own worst enemies and quick to put down other women. My female friends in Chile tell me the women are incredible competitive and possessive about their men. Something I keep in mind when meeting their chaps. : )

Witchcraft is the remnant of the old religion before Christianity.

lt is a natural faith of the rhythms of mother Earth.
What is this town of witches, south of Santiago? Sounds interesting!
l will have to take my daughters for a visit!
You should be happy to be called a witch.It recognises your sensitivity and rootedness,even if you are of a religious belief which structure to a male hierarchy.Contact at an emotional level with heaven and earth is something positive.But are you really witches?

Have you been to the beautiful Island of Chiloe, Isolde? You would love all the folk law and stories of witches covens. I especially liked El Trauco, the ugly troll with a huge penis, responsible for impregnating all unmarried women. (Rather than admit it was probably that Uncle you never like to leave your kids alone with). It is a unique place and I could tell you some tales from there. : )
I am not a witch, I think. But I totally get the whole concept of the old religions. I remember a discussion with a theologian in Rome; he pointed out that for a good two hundred years after Christianity began it was doubtful if people would fully embrace it, So, it was quite normal for the old and new religions to be practised on the same ground, just to hedge their bets, as it were. It was all about bums on seats back then and giving the masses what they wanted to stay in power.

There are many traces of the old religion in Christianity.
Easter is from the Goddess Eostre, the Goddess of Spring(in the northern hemisphere), the rebirth of the world after the death of winter.
Easter, Christ rose again from the dead.
The easter egg, the egg is a fertility symbol.
Many, many others. Christmas was close to the winter solstice, where if something wasn't done(Celtic human sacrifice), then the days would keep getting shorter & shorter until it was only night.
Race memories of a volcanic eruption, perhaps, that blotted out the sun for some days or even weeks.
The early Christian missionaries had to incorperate parts of the old religion to win converts.
No, l have never been to Chile, but l intend to in the not too distant future.
l'll have to have a close look at El Trauco, for research only, of course :-))
