Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chile has created a much more successful country than Argentina with less than half the population and a much smaller land area.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When President Pinera travelled to Europe he was welcomed with respect.
When CFK goes outside the locality world leaders say 'oh not bloody moaning woman again '.
You've got to feel sorry for Chileans and Falklanders having to live next to these door-knobs. They must have the patience of saints.

Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nitro please come to the Falklands, you want our land come here ya wee boy, lets see what you got. Or do you expect others to do your fighting?
Bessies the lot of ya!
Many chileans works in Arg.Patagonian, in Ushuaia , Rio Gallegos, Comodoro Rivadavia but nobody takes advantage of the political situation of the country that feeds him, they accept these terms. Many chileans from Punta Arenas for example come to use our hospitals & universities in the Patagonia.. so if chileans ,who lives in Malvinas, know the colonial status, they have to endure this status of living on an island invaded and colonized by the British.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These Falkland Islanders must be some kind of supermen and superwomen.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just think odds of 3000 to 40 million ,and the 40 million are going
round the world crying on peoples shoulders and asking for
reinforcements.
Reading the ordinary bloggers in Uruguay and Chile you can see that,
no matter what the politicos say ,there is a growing admiration for the
islanders putting up two fingers to the Argies . Who knows it may be
catching and have started a trend in the region.
Whatever various devious politicians in Britain may have been up to in
the past with their proposed 'dirty deals' there is cast iron support for the
islanders.
The more the Argies huff and puff the more the support grows along with
the contempt for Argentina.
if you argies dont like it,
Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you can always go to the malvinas,
Helber Galarga
swears by it,
I hope the British let the Chileans write the letter themselves, the banner on the picture above wasn't the case.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 10:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@10 Yes, and those inflatable Chileans waving flags aren't real either. Those pesky Falkland Islanders with their blow-up South Americans for use in times of need!! Darn them!!

Feb 14th, 2012 - 01:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Here is a film all the nationalist children of Argentina should watch. It should be compulsory education in Argentine schools to learn about their country recent history, instead of teaching lies about the Falkland Islands (the imaginary Malvinas - which Argentina has NEVER had sovereignty over).
That something like this was allowed to happen is a crime against humanity, 50,000-100,000 raped, tortured, mutilated, murdered and disappeared (Borges). Unborn babies ripped out of their mothers wombs, young children taken from their parents, who were murdered by the heroic Argentine military.
Anyone of you born in the 70's? I hope your lucky enough to know who your real parents are...

It's a film everyone should watch. Feel shame because the specter of fascism still grips Argentina and as Martino Moreno said “If publishing the truth is forbidden, then lies, ignorance and poverty will follow”.
Argentina's history is still being written by Moreno's assassins.
The flags are Chilean. In fact, one is from Magallanes region. But the banner is shitly written. In the case they wrote it themselves(I doubt it), then they forgot how to speak Spanish.

Lorton, You said “And amongst all this, the one group whose voice seems to be the least heard, is that of the Falkland Islanders’ themselves”

“Britain's military is depleted by cuts – so childish insults and occasional royal dispatches will have to suffice as foreign policy”
“If my mother were in the business of geopolitical conflict resolution, let me tell you right now that NONE OF THEM would be playing with the Falkland Islands after the way they've all behaved. Each of them would be having a long hard think in their rooms about whether it was honestly worth being that babyish”

I like this headline: “ If we cant get the UN to back us we´ll get Sean Penn instead” watch out tax payers CFK will make you pay for his wage and he aint cheap.
Feb 14th, 2012 - 03:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0@15 well well.. you're leaving an extremism, in a desperate attempt're taking a part of history, which has to do that part of this history with our claims of our islands? I don´t ask you What British education teach to their childrens... Brits against the Indians, Africans, with people from India and the atrocities of the Brits that everybody knows. Our history is only 200 years (with a Brit invasion in BA) but from UK is longer and all the world knows about their colonialism behavior.

Feb 14th, 2012 - 04:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0You keep digging up the past, I personally don't see the need to dig up the past when people write!!! British Pirates, Oh The London riots last year “ out of control country ” Oh the Dirty war in Argentina “ The cruelty ”! No one here can rightly say that any country is perfect and to a certain extent all have blood on there hands at some point in their history. but anyway to a more meanful point CFK is trying to claim for an lsland and its in their constitution to try claim for the island, dont you see that looks like colonialism and despite the history of who has the full rights, before you think about that, I like to remind you we live in the present not the past.
Nitwitjuan - of course these Chileans are trying to make a few pounds. they can then use these to convert into any currency they want. Now the Argie peso, need i go on?

Can we raise a claim now??
Kidding...
21 Mrcameback.... CFK is not trying to claim the Malvinas.... She and all argentines will claim the islands until the UK return them to the real owner.
Feb 14th, 2012 - 12:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 022 Beef.... what are they going to do with the falklands pounds.... maybe playing “the monopoly game”...
I can't comment Uruguay as I don't spend any time there, but I spend quite a bit of time in Chile and I can tell you that I don't know of one Chileno who “fears” Argentina. In fact, when most Chilenos speak of Argentinos, there's one phrase used about 99% of the time...Argentinos Cul....yeah, you get it. All of the Chilenos I know usually speak of Argentinos with contempt and the ones who have worked with Argentinos speak of the laziness of the Argentinos. That's the general feeling of Chilenos toward Argentinos. I wouldn't say that the typical Chileno feels any solidarity at all toward Argentina and they honestly don't give a rat's ass about Argentina, their claim on the Falklands, or anything at all about them except staring at the Argentinas on the beaches in Renaca and Vina.

there are almost half million chileans in argentine territory, and not only their lower classes like you have in the malvinas or we employ in the patagonia, the argentineans national universitys around the country are FULL of chileans, i can tell you by my own experience, i'm an architecture student from the UBA and chileans make a pretty big number. Chile is a neo liberal state, is awesome for the money people that represents the 1% of the population that lives in european standars, but the rest of the chilean people can't even buy a beef. really man, hate argentina whatever you like but we have more social inclussion that the US and even the poorest boy can you to college, get's free health care and haves guaranteed a proper nutrition by “universal assignation per child ”
“posta” we have a lot of shitty things but our brother chile country, with its liberal piñeyra as president is doing really really worse and for your education, chilean people will allways back our country , if you don't know JOSE DE SAN MARTIN an ARGENTINEAN , liberate chile from the spaniards, yep their father of the nation is argentinean, so please, read a little more of south american history...coz you're part of it!

Artillero 602 - you make 250K a year in Argentina right? Your incoherent post made it hard to decipher. You said “We excelled overseas”. Huh? Who excelled overseas? Oh, do you mean you had to go abroad to make your 250K a year? But if Argentina is all that, why didn't you stay in Argentina to make 250K a year?

To the world , you claim to be the innocent victim,
But behind there backs, you hurt the islanders, you blockade them , and now want to stop the last flights,
For a country that wants only peace,
You seem pretty determined to drag yourselves to conflict,
The old dictatorship is hard to leave behind, is it not ?
