May 04th, 2012 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We have 30% inflation.
We have a national socialist government which seems to be patterned on Hitler's.
We have a bipolar president who seems not to know what she's doing from one moment to the next.
We have about 60% of our population dependent on government handouts who are thus the claque of this horrendous Government.
We have a non existent opposition with only about 30 to 40 representatives who have the guts to stand up to the peronist nightmare.
Yes Mr. Hague, we have had a few set backs.
And yet Simon, one of the most productive and resource wealthy lands in the world. A well educated homogenous society that could accomplish anything... ...if only they would work harder and expect less from their government.

May 04th, 2012 - 05:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Absolutely correct. We have a sort of built in aversion to hard work. I don't honestly know where it came from, our forbears were very hard working and managed to build a rich and wonderful country which lasted for.... about 30 years and then started down the tubes.
What a shame!!!
Thats very true. Handouts will always produce this kind of society no matter where. The problem is that in Argentina has had this going on for so long now that generations of Argentines think it is normal and do not see why it needs to be changed. Unfortunatly I don't see that it will change anytime soon. There simply doesn't seem to be a political movement that people rally behind. like i said, they are happy with things as they are in general on the one hand, yet acknowledging in private that Argentina “ no silbe” (excuse the bad spelling, it's how i hear it).
May 04th, 2012 - 06:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I doubt you're any more or less lazy than any other nation. I think it's more to do with the political and economic environment in place that doesn't encourage a society to flourish.
May 04th, 2012 - 06:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is still hope and personally think that Argentina will finally come to its senses. I have three very close Argentinean friends that come from very hard working families. You need political change...

What a fucking shit tip Argentina has become. Frankly i'm appalled that people supposed to be examples to their countrymen eg the President behave in such a disgusting manner. The Argentine politicians make our sad bunch in the UK look like model citizens, which takes some doing considering how useless ours are.

Just bear with me a minute and accept my suggestion, that there are decent people in Argentina who would dearly love to have a better life and better relations with us. Who would like to see the back of KFC. That does not mean for a second that we should be sorry for them, but it does mean that we should treat them with respect and support them in their efforts to make a better life, without KFC.

We took lands from all our neighbors.
Compare to Brazil which was pretty much born as is, Mexico which is half the size it used to be, or Gran Colombia which split into three and Central America which split into five.
Out of all the countries in the Americas, only Argentina and the USA expanded from their original size.

If you don't expand you die. Argentina did and mostly succesfully, it only has lost one war in its history. No nation is undefeated in warfare.
@19 - so if Argentines are colonials and so are the Falklanders, and they can claim there ancestors on the islands back to before Argentina was even recognised as country, why are you trying to steal their lands?

What would you know about war. When was BA bombed for 90 consecutive nights in a row. When did you have to send your children away to the country, when did your people carry ration cards, when did your mothers learn to hate the sight of the postman. You know nothing about war. You played at it with people who do! and you were handed a severe lesson just exactly what it means.
@20
May 04th, 2012 - 07:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I personally have no claim or interest in the Falklands. You would have to ask “malvinistas”.
I would be careful though in making ancestral arguments. Just because there is a change in status does not change the “ancestral rights”. Argentina may have become independent in 1810 but some people have land in Argentina from the 1500s, way before any human even saw the Falklands.
This means that if some day the Falklands choose to go independent, under YOUR logic at the exact moment independence is granted, “ancestral claims” are reset to zero *the start of the “country”)... which would mean Argentina could claim that its claim is OLDER than the country itself... and oops.
The Falklanders can't claim ancestry older than Argentines because many in Argentina claim ancestry to way before the Falklands were even discovered.
Mr Hague is perfecty right - another stunt to sidetrack the gullible Argentinian public away from the grim reality that CFK and her politburo styled on a bunch of Nazi comedians haven't got a clue on how to run a modern country.
May 04th, 2012 - 07:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So now argentina has and wants ancestral rights

May 04th, 2012 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, I guess you made my point, you dishonored all the men from this country that died crossing to help liberate the chileans, then the Peruvians.
Those that died helping the Uruguayans in the Cisplaine war throw off the Brazilian monarchy's occupation.
Etc, etc.
I personally do not know war, but that wasn't the point until you changed the subject. If it suits you fine. Does not negate my point simply because you went off the tangent.
I personally hate war and guns, bombs, missiles and any other munitions for that matter but then I've been in the services and seen the tragedy of these things.
May 04th, 2012 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@23 - nearly every country knows war of some type, claiming one version of war is different than any other is a bit daft.
Imagine being a young conscripted Argentine soldier, hungry and cold hearing the most effective and best trained British troops are landing looking for you, that must have been terror on a grand scale for those young inexperienced and ill-equipped men.
All war is bad.

May 04th, 2012 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry I disagree. You stated That you had been defeated in 1 war. I simply used the experience of this country in war to illustrate a point. No one wins in war!

May 04th, 2012 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This event is yet another misstep by stupid cfk and her thug minions. My gosh why don't they learn to keep their mouths shut? Such an embarrassment. ...
Hi, I'm new to Mercopress but only in the terms of adding a comment. I have been following the stories (and arguments/debates) for a while. I almost feel like I know you all lol, although I still have a lot to learn about you all I am very passionate about the Falkland Islands and their rights which is why I am here.
May 04th, 2012 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's easy for most Brits to think when they do see a news article about this stuff (which is rare as not all of this makes it to the news in Britain as a lot of you know) that it is just because of the anniversary. However, what most don't realise is that it has been going on since the war in 1982 and has just been racheted up recently for political gain. I know you all know this but...
This advert bothers me. At first I thought it funny and still do - by that I mean 'so what else is new', or 'tell me something I don't know' . However, this is just the start of their campaign, and I am concerned about what else is to come, especially during the Olympics. The use of a war memorial is disgusting also but my major concern is that 4 athletes went for this advert - are there more to come? Also, if that happens, is this first one the most controversial? Or is there more? Lastly, is an invasion or something of that ilk coming during the Olympics - there is a clear campaign here.
My final comment would be that as a fan of the Olympics and all it upholds, are we going to see a marring of the ideals both before and during the games, and are we going to see an as till now well organised games turned into chaos?
I was just thinking laterally and a thought struck me.
May 04th, 2012 - 07:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Will the Argentinians ever wake up out of this Peronist trance they have been in for the last 70 years and realise how fortunate they are that it is the British who control the Falklands and not some other European/North American/Asian power.
The chinese,Russians,Germans ,French and especially the Americans would have become totally pissed off with the Argies by now and the Argentine state would have been invaded and divided up so that it was a quarter the size of Uruguay with about half the population of that country.
It would be President Mujica shoving Argentina round and not the other way round as now.I notice Argentina is still stalling about the canal project.
Just a bit of lateral thinking.
@27

@24 -Tobias. I would still like to know why you believe Argentina should have Soveignty of the Falklands when you have never owned them.
May 04th, 2012 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Islands were 1st claimed by the British. Then over the next few years there were disagreements between France, Spain and Britain regarding the islands. But in 1776(ish), Spain ceded their claims to the Islands to Britain.
In 1829 a group of colonists of various nationalities, got permission from the British to set up a colony on the Falklands. Permission was duly given. In 1832, the United Provences set an illegal penal colony, and Britain objected to this blatant disregard of British Sovereignty. The colonists informed British authorities of this violation of sovereign British territory.
The UP troops mutinied, killing their own commander, and the mutineers were taken prisoner by the colonists. When a British ship arrived in 1833 they took the guilty parties and handed them to UP authorities for punishment. The penal colony was dismantled and removed, leaving behind the colonists to get on with their lives.
They've been there ever since. Argentina did not exist as a country at that point, so why do the descendants of colonists think they have the rights to a group of islands their ancestors never set foot upon?
And if you want to talk ancestral rights thenArgentina should either return to Spanish control (those early colonists were Spanish you know) or you could give the land back to the decsendants of the people your ancestors stole it from.
I don't believe the Falkland are argie.

Some of the greatest moments in the Olympics have not been the winners, It has been the athletes doing their best. The IOC should stamp this out now, make it clear. Politics will not be tolerated in sport. Then it is up to the IOC how they want to run this and future Olympics.

At the very least this 'olympic athlete' should get a visit at border/customs frrom a Bert - the burly guy with the enormous hands and the big finger glove! At best the IOC puts these people in their place and tells them they can't compete unless the abide by the rules....
Having wrongly informed the border at the Falklands about his intent should be enough though for this guy alone to be banned from entering the UK. Problem solved, As for the rest of them, we should not ban the whole lot of Argentine athletes as it would only cause more trouble for us. We have to take the moral highground no matter how difficult it is! They will dig their own grave eventually over this - it is already clear on that with their c urrent actions...
Argentina should not only be warned, but told that if they try to ruin the Olympic spirit, then they will be dismissed and sent home in disgrace,

May 04th, 2012 - 10:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@31 If you search back through the archives, you should be able to find the article setting out how the argies have a “plan” to put a logo on the uniforms of their Olympic “team” together with the words “Malvinas Argentinas”. This would be a clear breach of the Olympic Charter. Fortunately, there is also an Olympic bye-law that clearly sets out the penalties. Disqualification and removal of accreditation. That will take care of athletes and “team” officials. And I'm glad to report that I already reported their “plan”. The argie “team” would be well advised to buy return tickets if they are planning to travel to the Olympics. Then they can get straight back on the plane.

“Although far superior to Argentine forces on paper, the Brazilian troops were repeatedly defeated. Plagued by poor leadership, inadequate supplies, corruption, disease, and a high desertion rate, the Brazilian army never gained an advantage over their adversaries.” - Daniel Stowell
And at the time, Brazil had no fought a single war while Argentina was bankrupt from 20 years of fighting wars, sending armies to other countries, and spending money helping other colonial revolts in Spanish America. Plus the fact it was Brazil holding the territories (an offensive war is far more difficult than a defensive one), and were a country 10 times bigger in population at the time.
The add is trully disgusting, I'm not afraid to say it. The British Foreign Office response came down to near that same level with its shameless lies.

May 05th, 2012 - 12:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I find it confusing what benefit the Argentine government expect to get from their actions.
They ask for negotiations but write into their constitution that full sovereignty of the Falklands is un-negotiable.
They say the Olympics will not be used for politics and then create this insulting video.
They ask for the three flights a week to be run by Argentina for the good of the islanders (after saying one flight is impractical from another country) but the day after this meeting the ambassador ambushes Hague at a conference, ruining any goodwill that may have resulted from the meeting.
They say they will respect the islanders but pretend they don't exist and abuse their goodwill in letting Argentine veterans visit the Falklands to sneak a camera crew around at dawn filming without the courtesy of informing the local government.
I wish only the best for the Argentine people but can't they see the damage being caused by the government? If they want the Falklands and to stop accusations they are using the islands as a distraction, go to the international court to get this sorted out once and for all.

If hague and the general assembly from the islands need to make such a fuss for a simple advert, it's because maybe for the first time in years, it's starting to be more difficult for them to continue getting a way with this, and avoid to discuss about the sovereignty, which is the main problem. Nobody disrespected anyone with that advert, it was a great homage to the people who lost their lives in that shameful war. If the u. k decides to make a homage to the british veterans who died in 1982, and films an advert in the islands, saying that they are british, we can't complain about that, because it has right to honour their people, in a territory which considers as british. Like them or not, we have right to honour our people in a territorry which has always been claimed for us, in fact it's not the first video that the government does about malvinas, in order to honour the veterans, in 2010 it made an exelent advert showing imagens from the islands, anyway it hadn't been filmed in te malvinas, it was a compilation of imagens, but it was very emotiv, i have it in my cel phone.

All the resolutions have called the two parts of the conflict to resume the negotiations and find a peaceful solution only, however that's what the u. k and the islanders reject sistematicly, but i dont think he told that to the press.

May 06th, 2012 - 10:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunatelly your answer was as obvious as usuall. If you love to invoke the rejection of the militar junta to resolution 502 of 1982, let me remind you AGAIN that despite those criminal events, the u. n continued calling the two parts of the conflict to resume the negotiations and find a peaceful solution. On the other hand, if self determination is applicable for absolutly everyone in the world, then i hope that next u. n resolution invokes that right for this dispute, and doens't consider the malvinas-falkland cause like a particular colonial situation, beside, your thought doesn't coincide with what was expressed by lawmaker norma edwards before the decolonization committee in 2010, where she complained about the way that the committee considers this cause, and didn't say a word about that resolution of 2008.
Respecting the advert, what the guy is doing is a little of gym in the memorial only, what is wrong with that?, what kind of lampoon is that?, beside he didn't make any provocation eather, he didn't disrespected anybody with that action. If a group of english players run around the argentine cemetery from darwin, they woudn't be disrespecting the veterans who are buried there. Finally, i can tell you only that you can insult as much as you like, that just shows the mediocrity of your tought, and the law level of debate that you have too.

May 07th, 2012 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunatelly when hate blinds people's minds, they finish making mediocre and ignorant analysis like what you do all the time.
Firstly, i have never denied that maybe the right to self determination is applicable for the population from the islands. But the point is that the u. n has never applied that principle for this dispute, like it did for others colonial situations, all the resolutions just call the two parts to resume the negotiations and find a fair solution, no more, and that's what you reject sistematicly. On the other hand, you dont realise about the doble standart that you use all the time when you reffer about our constitution. You love arguing that the only one outcome for us, is the transference of sovereignty to us, but at the same time, after 1982 you have always said that you can dicuss about many issues with arg., but not sovereignty, isn't it a precondition too?. I already explained in planty of oportunitis what is expressed in our const., but beyond what it says about our claim, if the u. n has never asked the u. k to return the islands to arg., they won't never be under argentine sovereignty only, althogh both countries resume the negotiations, because the transference of sovereignty to arg. is not what the u. n signalizes.
Beside i have never denied that the junta rejected resolution 502, what you do, is to argue pathetic excuses, just to continue rejecting theresolutions.
Respecting the support that our peopel gave to the war, which is argued by you all the time, i already explained too one millons about the situation of the freedom of press in arg. in 1982, and the terrible manipulation that all the press made during the whole dictatorship, if you preffer to continue insisting with the same ignorant comments about it, it's just one more show of the mediocrity of your thought. Finally, what nestor kirchner did, was to try to discuss about sovereignty again, which is the main problem.
To be fair to Axlrose anything wrong or breaches of international law or resolutions were the JUNTA's fault. The naughty JUNTA didnt have the support of the population as we all know well, the thousands of gloating cheering RG's in BA after the invasion were all actors. And the rioting when the lost the war where not a humiliated population.

@130 Axel, seriously, do you not understand that your country started a popular war, and then you lost it. You never apologised, you never paid any reparations, you didn't even come to terms with the fact you lost, by continuing to mention now defunct UN resolutions from before you made negotiations military.
May 07th, 2012 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina made the negotiations military, Argentina lost the military negotiations, Argentina has to deal with the consequences of it's actions. The world has changed, and the new rules are as a result of Argentina's actions.
Negotiations on sovereignty will not happen because we changed our relationship with our BOT, it's now a mature relationship based on shared values. It's similar to our relationship with Australia. So, it's no longer appropriate for the UK to involve itself in negotiations as we did before the Argentinian caused military action and no one has any appetite for it. Nestor was a fool to not know this, KFC is a fool to not be aware of this.
If Argentinians cannot cope with the consequences of their actions, it is not the fault of the British. If you want to make it military again, then you should be aware of the consequences.
End of story.

May 08th, 2012 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is evident that you undertsand just what you want, as usuall, anyway i coincid with a few points that you expressed in your comment. I have always thought that arg. should apologize the islanders for the war of 1982, in the same way that the u. k should apologize us for having invaded our country 4 times, along these 200 years, and for having deprived arg. from the islands in 1833. On the oethr hand, when you insist with that idiot argument about a popular war, you ignore sistematicly what i explained one million times here, about the way that the information was distorted by most media, which was under the controll of the junta, beside, you ignore too about the huge march that happened that day, which lemma was, malvinas si proceso no (yes to malvinas, no to the process).
On the other hand, you can use the argument of the consecuences of the war as much as you like, it won't impide that arg. can keep on claiming for the islands with out militarising the country, like the u. k does with the islands, when it parrots about the destructors that it sends to the archipelago in order to protect their interests. Anyway i dont expect that you make a critic to your side, ignorant people like you, just play the victime and dont recognize that they are not acting correctly eather. I just can advice you not to complain if we have more serious problems in the future, accept it or not, your intransigence has a huge responsability in this situation too, anyway, it's absolutly expectable that you cotinue blaming argentina only.

and if you insists on going back and brining up the past, then we all demand you bloody well give back all the bloody land you stole hundreds of years ago from the native inhabitants, and bloody well go back to Europe from when’s you once came,
and on the way back, we demand you say sorry to mr Jones for treading on his bloody roses in 1857, June 17th, at 330pm.
Now Soddy offy .
Stop it briton, you're making me laugh.

Why, l never. Bloody malvinistas.
Mr Jones should give the bounders a damn good thrashing.
@135Axel,
Threats again, Axel?
Of course we blame only Argentina.
Argentina is not acting correctly & is causing all the trouble.
No one else, lad. Just that failed rogue state of Argentina.
Argentina=troublemakerland.

May 09th, 2012 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ignorant as usuall, it seems that you love making very superficial analysis for serious issues. If you consider that we should apologize the natives for having stolen them their lands. Let me tell you that the rights of the indigenous populations are included in article 17 of chapter four, which is related to the duties of the congress. That article orders as a duty of the congress, to signalize the pre existence of the indigenous populations, the restitution and the protection of their lands etc. It was included in the reform of 1994, after more than 110 years of the occupation of patagonia, in that moment the argentine state started to occupy that huge territory, but killed planty of native people, and stole many of their lands. The passage of time doesn't eliminate the facts, anyway, i respect if you think that saying sorry is irrelevant because those events happened many years ago, fortunatelly i think diferent than you, i have always thought that arg. brasil and uruguay should apologize the paraguayans for the shameful war of the tripple alliance, which decimated the paraguayan population. We didn't steal them formosa, but we won it with a criminal unfair and cobard war, that's why we should apologize for it. The paraguayans have never claimed for those lands after they lost that war, thats why the ignorant comparioss that some of you do is irrlevant, but in case that they start to claim for that teritory, and if the the dispute is presented before the u. n, then like us or not, we will have to find a peaceful and negotiated solution, and you should do the same with the malvinas, anyway i know you won't do it. Maybe some day you stop making those idiot comments that you do all the time, mixing situations which are bery diferent, perhaps someday you decide to be serious.
but but
May 09th, 2012 - 02:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0axel they are not silly comments,
why the contary at the very least,
but hey, were british, and we fully understand that it is not your fault that you think this way, we fully understand what indocrination and brain washing can do to people, so relax,
we understand its not your fault,
you dont really want the islands, you just think that you do,
but let the clever little island people [called the british]
help you in your hour on need, with good advise for you to take back to CFK at your next meeting,
you and her and almost all argies alive today, will go to your graves in the hope you get them back on day,[happy]
but we know different, just like the rest of historys past, they all died thinking they would see 16 vergins in the bedroom, only to turn to dust in the ground or disintergrate in the crematorium.
in the meentime enjoy the awe of watching the british falklands remain british lol.

May 12th, 2012 - 07:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right, some people are adoctrinated and brain washed, that's why i decided to investigate, instead of parroting idiot comments.
And what did you find, Dear Axel?
May 13th, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That the lslands belong to the people who live on them & NOBODY ELSE?
Just like:-
Japan belongs to the Japanese & not the Argentines.
France belongs to the French & not the Argentines.
Mexico belongs to the Mexicans & not the Argentines.
& surprise, surprise,
The Falklands belong to the Falklanders & most certainly not the Argentines.
Glad to be of help, Axel.
