They will roll their eyes, think 'oh FFS!', smile, pick up the phone to the UK and say 'sorry to bother you but the toddlers are at it again. We really need somebody to play the 'grown up'. Malvinistas are incapable. Would you oblige please?'

Aug 01st, 2012 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Stealing is bad karma”
Yes indeed:
1/- Stealing the land of indigenous inhabitants in Argentina during 1800s by comitting mass genocide.
2/- Not paying back loans is stealing, Argentina is so good at that not even Obama wants to lend Argentina money.
3/- Laying unmarked minefields and not removing those mines has stolen land from the Falkland Islands, including a graveyard at Fox Bay.
4/- The wish to steal land (Falkland Islands), off the people who were born there.
5/- Stealing the Falkland Islands in 1982=much bad Karma for Argentina.
Marcos- Why do you assume the Cemetery affair was done by an islander anyway?
Aug 01st, 2012 - 10:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for B&S - some facts again_ They have the captial for further seismic survey work- and are looking at chartering a vessel to carry this out in the summer 2012-2013.
They will not know the Gas Condensate results from the 1st drill until end August- simple as they stuff had to be shipped to Uk and the labs take 10 weeks or so the complete the work-to dangerous to fly it fror obvious reasons.
Lets wait and see the results first - they may not be good enough to warrant raising capital for futher drilling.
But they may be worthwhile- we do not know - yet. After all Gas Condensate produces the highest value Oil of all.
As ever - ot all depends on the volume of the find.
@6 tell me, why would one wish to speak another language when the english language is the most widely used and taught language in the developed world, even you are using it :) so clearly the fact you learnt english meant their was a need to speak english as for us we already know it. no other languages for me are needed unlike you. Have a nice day!
Aug 01st, 2012 - 11:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2 Poor child. Are you standing on stolen land? Are you growing crops in stolen land? Are you using resources from stolen land? Unless you can trace YOUR origins back around 500 years and those origins are Amerindian, the answer is: YES. As the majority of argies trace their origins back to Europe, YOU are a thief. Also a genocidal murderer. Feel good does it?
Aug 01st, 2012 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0@4 Really shouldn't have sent those argie special forces to create an “incident”. Or did you think we didn't know?
@6 And what rubbish dump did YOU get YOUR brain from? Or did you dig up a corpse and steal what was left?

Aug 01st, 2012 - 09:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you actually know what temporal means?
It has a few meanings but not what you believe it means.
Temporal is related to time and infinity.
Temporal logic - definition. logic. An extension of predicate calculus which includes notation for arguing about *when* statements are true. Time (Temporal) is discrete and extends indefinitely into the future.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/temporal+logic
So what you are saying is that the British presence in the Falklands extends indefinitely into the future.
Nice to know that you agree with us British and Falkland Islanders.
The only other Temporal I know if is a bone in the human skull.
So you could be saying is the British presence in the Falklands is a piece of bone in the skull. Which of course doesn't make any sense.
Well go with the 1st meaning, shall we?
Looks like our ploy on the oil rigs worked then,
Aug 01st, 2012 - 11:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the Argentineans fell for it,
Hook line and sinker..
