@5 Marcos is always confused. He just wants to distract people from talking about what a human-rights hell-hole Argtardia is.

May 04th, 2012 - 10:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Unlike Argentina we have law that the Government can't change at the drop of a hat to suit them.
Our Press have freedom, sometimes reporters and editors take liberties with this freedom, but as has been said, that is being investigated and if wrong doing is found, they will be punished under the law.
The Falklands for the Falkland Islanders - long may they live free of Nazi Argentinan threats and intimidation!

May 04th, 2012 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please like this page in order to force Argentina to return Misiones and Formosa Provinces to Paraguay, the country they were stolen from in 1870!
Misiones and Formosa Provinces are provinces of Argentina that were seized and annaxed by Argentina from Paraguay this page is dedicated to address Argentine hyporcacy and ensuring their return to Paraguay.
It's only right that Argentina first addresses its own hyocracy by re-examining its own history before talking about taking more land it has never had soverignty over. Not just the Falklands but South Georgia and the South Sandwhich Islands.
