    “There have been many resolutions all asking the UK to sit down at the table and talk to Argentina, but they refuse; we are just asking compliance with UN resolution 2065 and the successive resolutions since then, and not only in the UN, but with OAS, Mercosur, Unasur, Group of Rio, etc.”

    The Brutish answer “UK diplomatic sources said that the resolution Mrs Kirchner referred to was decades old”

    Mr Camoron is surrounded by bunch of genius people lol.

    @2 The falklands inhabitants wanted to sit down and talk with Cristina but she refused.
    Falklanders are the ones living there, do they not deserve a voice? it was centuries since they first inhabited the islands. They arethe indigenous people now. Argentina wasnt even a country when they arrived.
    The UK will return the Falklands to Argentina when Argentina returns its land to its indigenous peoples, and the immigrants move back to spain/ italy etc and/or live under indigenous law. Or rather, the UK will return them to... noone, as they were uninhabited pre- UK discovery.
    meanwhile, CFK is evicting the indigenous people from its lands, like it wants to do to the falklands. What the UK did was hundreds of years ago. This is happening today. Who's the colonialist power now?

    I told you before, this Malvinas issue is already in its own way.
    Will be continued in other stages and we all will be living happily and in peaceful.
    About the Speech… I don’t think I like it very much. Was good but too long for what she has to say.
    Facing the MFI is a classic. Malvinas also, the main issue was Iran for me!
    One question to all…
    It is good to dialogue. If we ask for dialogue with Britain it is reasonable to be open all the nations.
    If Iran requests a meeting we have to accept it.
    The question is... It was not enough time to be on this stage?
    Should a democratic country talk with the terrorists?
    I have my doubts. But they suppose to be innocents until they’ll be sentenced.

    She's must get to a point where she realises that, irrelevent of what she thinks of the islanders, she will realise she has to talk to them. Her aggressive stance isn't giving her any new or changed support. The only countries stepping forward outside of SA are countries that have their own land-grab problems and think that they can set a precedent by supporting Argentina as well.
    Forget pride, forget what's the right thing or wrong thing in your mind to do, realise that the UK won't talk to you, the islanders will, any future has to involve them unless you intend to kick them out, so just get on with it. Sometimes the goal is more important than the method to achieve it.
    I don't support her at all, I'm just stating what I think everyone with political savvy already knows.

    The MLA's can speak at the C24 - that has passed for this year. The next talking will be done at the 4th Committee. That is generally attended by Foreign Ministers. Tinman will be there - and give out the usual crap. The British minister usually just ignores him, other than to state that the British Government “have no doubts ....” etc, etc.

    As this is a' global' issue, the Islanders should not be excluded from commenting, just because they are technically British and not independent.

    CFK is a complete and utter idiot and like all idiots she thinks everyone else is. She says she just wants to sit down and talk about the sovereignty of the Falklands, er no, remember the amended Argentine constitution regarding The Falklands. She wants full sovereignty. So, nothing to discuss there.
    De-militarise the S Atlantic? Does she mean remove the small British military detachment stationed in The Falklands? I don't think so, this would once more send the wrong message to #CFK and leave the Falklands wide open to attack from Argentina. I have no doubt she would order an attack.
    She ignores the fact that the Falkland islanders have the right to self determination. They choose to be British and that status will remain until they choose otherwise.
    There is nothing to discuss with CFK. Case closed.

    “DEMANDS argentina remove all invading forces from the Falkland Islands”

    UNGA resolution 2065, not legally binding. Argtards like to claim Britain is in violation of it but...what was 1982 all about. A “peaceful resolution” by way of a war of aggression.

    You killed your own resolution, argtards.

    502, on the other hand WAS binding. And by your refusal, YOU are in clear breach of the UN charter.

    The Falkland Islands Government wrote to the Government of Argentina at the time of the C24 meeting in NY offering to sit down and talk. GoA first refused to accept the letter, and it having been delivered to them have refused to answer.

    So who exactly is refusing dialogue? Are they scared of talking directly to the people of the Falkland Islands? Do we need to write again? Why will GoA not talk to the Government of the Falkland Islands if all they want is dialogue?

    I am sure our MLA's will make the time available to talk.

    1st it was a bi-lateral issue between the UK ans Argentina.
    2nd it then became a 'regional' issue of South America with only the Argentines playing.
    3rd now it's a 'global' issue with only the Argentines playing.

    Strange that! So South America didn't back Argentina beyond a few cooing noises, and now she expects the world to back her, when the world have already stated many times that it's nothing to do with them.

    The woman is seriously deluded if she believes that anyone at the UN take her or her muppet government seriously.

    In my opinion the MLA's need to publicise the fact that Argentina ignored their letter, andalso write some to Ban ki Moon to explain the historical falacies told to the UN to get 2065 passed, and why Argentina's misrepresentation of history makes 2065 invalid.

    Aklthough no one takes this big mouthed pre-madonna seriously, her dictats need challenging by the MLA's and publicising as she wishes it to go global.

    Malvinista logic and hypocrisy is breathtaking in its absurdity. I had to laugh at this line in particular, “For Argentina the Islanders are British settlers and thus British citizens”. So, that makes settlers in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand “British citizens” too. The Falkland Islanders have lived there for generations, longer than Argentina has existed as a nation, and long before KFC's family emigrated to South America.

    As another poster rightly pointed out, Argentina's illegal invasion and occupation in 1982 (the one they've just minted a 2 peso coin to celebrate) rendered UN resolution 2065 null and void.

    If the hypocritical b******s want to talk, talk with the people you want to dispossess and ethnically cleanse.

Nobody knows as they have invented them and they don't talk to the people that lived there and the strange thing is, they never remember that the rest of the world know these islands as the Falkland Islands. Oh I see now, its islands really called the Falkland Islands and they want them, but, they will not talk to the people who live there, but, they have came here to complain that no one is taking any notice of them, especially Britain.

Argentina has historically been a country that collaborated with the Nazis (Evita and Juan Domingo Perón) let the Nazis escape to Argentina and hide in Argentina for decades in exchange for jewelry and works of art that belonged to murdered Jews. And now Cristina is following in their footsteps. There is some of this artwork hanging in the Casa Rosada to this day and some of those jewels are in Cristina Kirchner's possession!

    The most disgusting line from this article and from her speech is as follows...

    “we should have moved into the XXI century with no colonial territories, which is also an issue of human rights”

    An issue of human rights?! I can only assume she means the human rights of Argentines, as she, her Government, the Argentine people, her regional partners and the regional bodies she mentions, all believe that the Falkland Islanders have no human rights. This is a disgusting and cringeworthy attempt to portray Argentina as the victims and as a champion of human rights, while trying to deny people their freedom to choose to ensure Argentina can realise their expansionist dream.

    The Islanders have a right to choose their political, cultural, economic and social future, and in March 2013 we will show the world, without question, what path we want and will take.

    No Changes there then. CFK challanges Britain to negotiate over our Country. No mention of the Islanders involvment. While at the very same time totaly ignores the request by the UN to stop the campaign against the indigenous people in her Country. It is clear just what would happen to us as a society if Britain ignored us. The Ugly Lady of Argentina would have us all exterminated you could bet on it.
    So why should we want to become a part of a regime that only has one motive. Worl Power.
    We will never give our soverign right away so CFK you can shout all you want in the UN and continue to fool yourself that our Islands are now a global dispute.

    The UN already have this Argentine governments number, and have already raised concerns about this governments abuse of the human rights of the indigenous population of Argentina.

    The natives, according to La Campora trolls are from Chile, even though they've lived in this area longer than both Argentina and Chile have existed.

    So much for CFK's claim that there should be no more colonialism, when she seems to be the only one trying to colonise, 1st by stealing native lands, and also by trying to steal the Falklands from their rightful indigenous population.

    As for the 21st century, I find it curious that she's telling the rest of the world that we are in it, when she and her Peronist buddies are always trying to turn the clock back to a brief moment in 1833.

    Bizarre. And basically that's exactly what the world thinks of her. This is not a global issue. This is not a regional issue. This is a bi-lateral issue between the Argentines and the Falkland Islanders. Britain is just there to make sure that the Argentines play nice.

    As for demilitarisation. She must think the international community is as gullible as her La Campora zombies. It was barely a month ago when her defence minister stated that the only thing standing in the way of Argentina claiming the Falklands was the presence of the British military.

    But we have now demilitarised. We have replaced the 'Death Star' aka Type 45 HMS Dauntless with a 'Super Star Destroyer' aka Type 42 HMS Edinburgh. ;0)

    Maybe she should ask her friend in VeneCuba to get rid of the billions of dollars worth of arms he has bought on credit from Russia if she is serious about “demilitarization”.

    “We do not ask the UK to tell us we are right, we are asking them to sit down and comply with the United Nation’s resolution over the Malvinas Islands sovereignty“

    And the reply from the Uk government should go something like ”We are a sovernign nation and we make soverign decisions, we will not react to pressure and threats”

    Sound familiar? Its one rule for Argentina and one rule for the rest of the world. I do however agree with her that this is a global issue, however the issue is about wether we should allow neo-collinisms by allowing a group of people to be subjugated to a foreign power agaisnt their wishes. This is a global issue as to wether the right of self dtermination is truelly universal and that people have a right o decide their own future or wether they should be forced to accept rule from a foreign country with whom they share no cultural ties. Bleating to the UN will achive absoutly nothing as the UN will never ever rule that self dtermination does not apply as it is enshrined int he charter and therefore holds legal presecdence over all other documents.

    In addition I would suggest that CFK abides by the Un resolutions in which is states any solution must be in line with the intrests of the population. therefore, if they dont want to live under an Argentina government (and to be honest who can blame them) how can it be in their intrests therefore any discussions are a waste of time as no acceptable solution to Argentina can be in accordance with the UN resoultion.

    I see you are learning about things following these threads.But when you are learning you need to approach information with an open mind.
    For example.An issue can be a global issue at the same time as a regional and bi-lateral.The treatment of indigenous people in Australia,for example,is an issue between the indigenous people and the state gvt as well as between them and the Australian gvt and between them and the international community.
    Can you do the same exercise but replace the aboriginal people of Australia with the people living on the Malvinas.
    Also can you clarify what it means exactly when the UN raises concerns about an issue and what number they have allocated to Argentina.Or is it like a yellow card and not a red card that other people use flippantly use to raise the profile of an concern they might have.

    When reading about the Falklands and Argentina's incessant claim on them, that they're illegally colonized, blah blah blah, I always think of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Those are 2 islands that are owned by France, the people are happy to be a part of France, and there aren't any problems with Canada....a country so close you could practically hit it with a rock. Canada doesn't cause problems and say nonsense like “Saint Pierre and Miquelon are Canadian...etc.”

    The article is excellent, if the argentine press that is against c. f k's government were like mercopress, we would have a very serious and reliable press, due to mercopress never distorts any of cristina's expressions and informs with veracity, however it doesn't happen with the most important newspapers in argentina, (clarin and la nación), which distort and lie almost all the time about c. f. k's words.
    Her statement yesterday was briliant, she said one more time that her gov. is not asking the u k to tell them that they are right, but it asks the u. k to resume the conversations like the u. n and many integrants of the int. comunity manifest, her words destroy the ignorant and mediocre analysis that the lawmakers from the islands express when they refer to the argentine posture about this conflict. Anyway, in my opinion, i think she continues committing a big mistakes, because she doesn't include the gov. from the islands to discuss about the sovereignty, cristina always manifests that the dialogue must be with the u. k. On the other and, neather the gov. from the islands, nor the u. k . have never accepted to discuss about the sovereignty which is the main problem. Beyond the lack of intellectual honesty of many of the people who publish their opinions in this forum, and who always blame arg. only for the actual scenario, someday they will have to understand that despite the fact that c. f. k doesn't include the government from the islands in the conversations, if she says that her gov. is not asking the u. k. to tell them that they are right, or to recognize that the islands are argentine, like she expressed last june 14th at the decolonization committe, it means that if the islanders want to remain under british gov., arg. won't be able to force them to accept only the argentine sovereignty, but it doesn't mean that both gov. can't find a fair solution, due to this cause has always been considered like a special colonial situation, by the d. c.

    Dont' take my word for it

    http://en.mercopress.com/2004/01/03/argentina-s-first-century-in-antarctica

    So, bye bye UK, and France. It's ours, and can't do shit about it. Remember just like with the Falklands, it's who starts permanent occupation first, not who first sighted or set foot on it.

    I'm consistent, and honest, that's the difference between me and you filthy brits/europeans.

    You are a liar and you know it. How sad for you, but it sure butresses my case (which is based on the facts).

    The Antarctic treaty did not in any form or shape whatsoever “do away” with the claims, or with the history pre-1959. It imposed a “freeze in time” of them.

    So when the treaty expires, everything simply resets back to how it was. Like stopping real time... if you could do that, you would be frozen too, its not like everyone and everything is frozen but you can still move about. Everything is put on hold, so that when it resumes, there is no one that had any advantage.

    @82

    So you are admitting that the USA does not care about international law? Good, thank you. But everyone else already knew you are not worth the respect given to a larva, worthless human beings morally speaking.

    You don't need to fly our flag, you can stay all you want, it is the territory that will be ours based on all the data I put forth, which NONE of you have denied or disproved... because you can't. (and because it is your own government and Mercopress itself that admit it).

    There is a difference. The world recognises British sovereignty over the Falklands. All they want Argentina to do is pay off the money you owe the international community, and stop breaking international trade agreements.

    The hypocrisy of your government is staggering. On a scale never seen before.

    Your government wants to have it all it's own way, and refuses to follow the same rules and laws everyone else in the world does, whilst at the same time accusing the rest of the world of not following the rules, and when they do you accuse them of 'picking' on you (this is really how pathetic your government is).

    Your government also shows its blatant hypocrisy over colonialism, when they seem to be the only ones interested in colonising other people's lands. They accuse Britain of not living in the 21 st century, when they are the ones who keep trying to turn the clock back to a 3 month period in 1833 when an illegal penal colony from the UP mutinied, murdered their own commanding officer, and raped his wife. Your government are the ones who blab on about human rights when they are the ones denying those very same rights to the people of the Falklands and the indigenous people's of South America.

    Your government even blames its own people. It's the fault of the upper class, the middle class, the working class, the unions etc... Well if all these people can see something is wrong about how the government is working, then have you ever thought to yourself that they might be right, and the government wrong?

    I know it's difficult for you brainwashed la Campora trolls to think for yourselves, but until you do, your government will continue to rob you blind whilst at the same time buggering up your economy, and your future.

    Argentina needs to grow up and accept responsibility for its own actions, instead of blaming everyone else. Until you do, no one in the world will take you seriously, and Argentina will never develop its full potential.

    A correction: Chile is closer to Antarctica. Remember Cabo de Hornos is ours.

    Anyhow, proximity is not a good argument, the fact that the British claimed both the Chilean and Argentinean sections before we did is always going to be a problem. If our claims are valid, then theirs are too.

    I doubt the French are interested in undermining Arg claims in Antarctica, because their claim does not overlap Argie’s.

    If Argie has an established presence on one tiny corner of the peninsula, they might have an argument to claim that tiny corner, but to project that insignificant presence over a vast territory is delusional and threadbare.

    Not to worry though, the IMF got a right slagging.

    Mostly for internal consumption, rather than external effect, she must realize that many people there believe a different story to the one she tells, on just about every issue.

    @ 84 Truth_Telling_Troll
    Correct, nothing you do while the treaty is in effect can later be used to enhance your claim.

    So Argentina implanting a foreign population on British Territory since 1959 will not count.

    An illegal occupation does not gain legitimacy through the passage of time, who said that I wonder.

    The Claims remain as they were in 1959, when Argentina and Chile had easily the weakest of all claims.

    “Of all the claimant nations, Argentina has had the longest presence in Antarctica, starting in 1904. ”

    minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/country/1994/9501094.pdf

    So, longest military and scientific presence, most population, geographic propinquity, first permanent settlement (Esperanza), first person born in Antarctica
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    TTT,

    The 1904 base is the Orcadas base,the meteorological station on Laurie Island, part of the South Orkney islands, which were first claimed by the UK in 1821. The Station was set up by the Scot William Bruce in 1903. He then sold it to the Argentine government, who took over in 1904. Bruce did not sell sovereignty to Argentina.

    The Esperanza base on the Antarctic peninsula dates from 1952.

    There is no such thing as proximity as the basis for territorial sovereignty in international law. In any case the South Orkneys aren't even close to Antarctica as they are 350nmi away. Argentina's presence in the South Orkneys would at most be a basis for a claim to the South Orkneys, nothing else.

    The UK's first formal claim in mainland Antarctica was in 1832 (Graham Land - Antarctica Peninsula) extended to its present boundaries in 1917. Argentina did not make a formal claim in mainland Antarctica until 1943, even later than the Chilean claim which was in 1940

    Your grasp of history is tenous to say the least. The UK did not install the previous Egyptian regime, in fact during the Seuz crises the British and French were oppossed to that regime.

    Further to your comments about colonialism. Yes in the past the UK, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland etc.. all created colonies. Your country is the product of that colonialism

    But, as your president says, now we are in the 21st century, and in the 21st century Argentina is the would be coloniser not the UK.

    The people of the Falklands have a history of 180 years continuous inhabitation. Under 21 st century law that means that the islands belong to them, and they have the right to determine their own allegiance.

    No amount of threats, begging and crying from Argentina will ever change that, will it?

    It's almost like she doesn't actually want to DO anything useful or substantial and just wants to make it *look* like she's doing something by shrieking about it to tons of other people who really don't give a shit.

    “”“Sorry, We want to talk and sit with uk goverment that they usurped our islands 179 years ago!!”“”“

    If you say it enough times do you think people will stop believing the actual historical facts and start believing this Argentine myth instead?

    Seems kinda airy-fairy wishful thinking to me... because if Argentina had such a rock-solid claim why havent they taken it to court?

    Of course you might counter that by asking ”Why havent the British” but the answer to that is easy: Because it belongs to the Falklands PEOPLE and they are already there, already own it and always will... regardless of the renewed attempt at colonialism by the current Argentine government.

    ------

    What is odd about Argentina's government is highlighted by two of the current Mercopress articles: 1 covers the CFK saying that this is a world issue, whilst refusing to even acknowledge that the Falklands people exist, and how the UK should bow to UN pressure, 2 is the Argentine president (CFK) saying that Argentina is a Sovereign nation and will not bow to ANY external pressure or orders.

    You know what? It doesnt take a particle physicist to spot the contradictions there, but it does seem that CFK doesnt know her physics (a bit like her history).

    What CFK has still failed to relaise is that “the world” all asks the same question: WHy doesnt she just be nice to the Falklands People and convince them to become part of Argentina... she only has to convince a couple of thousand people... not convince the billions she is current trying to convince.... when you think about that it kinda says everything you need to know.....

They came to an agreement, the “sovereignty umbrella” agreement. The UK has complied with UN requests. That Argentina wants to go back on agreements (like that is a big surprise) is a matter for Argentina.

    What would Argentina offer the Islanders that would make them want to change their sovereignty?

    Would you:

    -Let them have their own democratically elected government.
    -Only pay taxes to this islands government.
    -Keep all the revenue from the exploitation of the natural resources around the islands.
    -Allow them to keep and their own language, traditions, currency and culture.
    -Protect them from any aggressive neighbours.
    -Allow them to travel freely around the world.
    -Allow them to buy as many US dollars as they wish.
    -Allow them to import goods and services without having to export items to a similar value.
    -Allow them to buy goods with their credit cards and PayPal accounts without imposing a 15% tax on them.
    -Give them the option of becoming an independent country in their own right in the future should they wish to do so.

    Can Argentina offer these things? The UK does. So what can Argentina offer that is better than this?

    Not only that, but the Argentine government has shown time and time again that it doesn't honour treaties, so even if they offered the Islanders this and more, who would actually trust them to stick to any agreements once sovereignty had been transferred?

    So Argentina has nothing to offer the people of the Falklands. The British guarantee their freedom and give them the option of full independence should they wish it. Argentina offers them oppression and aggression.

    Tell you what. Grow up as a country. Take responibility for what happens in your country, and hold your government accountable, instead of blaming everyone in the world. Sort out the corruption, and then you'll be able to exploit all your countries natural resources for the benefit of all Argentine citizens.

    Prove that you have a stable governmental system where corruption has been virtually wiped out, a stable justice system where police and judges can't be corrupted. Then come back and talk to the islanders.

    But I won't hold my breath on that happening soon.

    @171 Good answer. I think that if for some reason the islanders wanted to negotiate on their sovereignty, whether that is to become independent or (for some reason that we can't foresee now) become Argentinian, then the wishes of the majority should prevail and the UK should accept that.

    So 165, 167, the answer to the question is yes. In exactly the same way as we listen to the wishes of the Falklanders now, when it looks like they will vote enequivocally for the status quo in the referendum next year, if that changes and the majority votes for it, then the UK would respect their democratically expressed wishes.

    “Sorry, We want to talk and sit with uk goverment that they usurped our islands 179 years ago!! insolde, you understand baby”
    Argentina didn't exist 179 years ago.

    Vernet was= asked by the government of the Buenos Aires government in 1829 (not 1820) to claim theFalkland Islands but there is aproblem. The governor at that time had MURDERED the previos one in Buenos Aires thuis making that government illegal. Also vernot also asked permission for his settlement from the British. If he was convinced of the BA claim to the Falkland Islands, why did he ask permission from the British Government to be there?

    So according to family documents of the Vernet's (read out at the UN this year) the first time the Falkland Islands were claimed for the Buenos aires government was 1829. Vernet was removed by the USA who did not accept this claim. The illegal garrison which became a murder/rape fest arrived in October 1832 and was asked to leave in January 1833. Three years is not enough of a valid claim when compared with the British claim that started in 1690, then the first British settlement was 1765-1774. that is NINE years, three times as long as the alledged BA settlement claim.

    Not only that, the UK did not drop its claim.

    Also your claim ran for three years. Even excluding the British claim, either from 1690, or 1765, from 1833 the Falkland Islands has been under british juristiction for 179n years (minus 3 months in 1982, when the UK did not drop its claim).

    It was the military garrison october 1832 to January 1833 that USURPED Britains claim to the Islands , and they were rightly expelled.

    You are entirely wrong, in so many ways I hardly know where to start.
    Clearly a population that has been in place for nearly 200 years has had plenty of time to develop ties to the land through their traditions, culture and history. The idea that the Falklands population is indistiguishable from mainland British population is a myth.

    Secondly, there is no platform for discussion with Argentina about sovereignty, whatever conditions were guaranteed. The answer is no. The only condition we need is guaranteed by the UN, who will not allow us to be dominated or subjugated by a foreign hostile power (you). We have no need of 'preferential treatment', and you will never be in a position to allow or deny it to us. We will govern ourselves, and better than your corrupt, shambolic and racist country ever could.

    I asked you whether the Chagossians as a non- indigenous implanted population have the right to be on their islands. What is your answer? You can answer for the St Helenians, the Bermudans, the Jamaicans, the Pitcairn Islanders etc etc as well while you are at it.

    Then you can tell me whether you as the 'remnant of colonial history' have the right to be in South America.

    If what you said were true, why isn't the language of Argentina, or any other South American country a native language instead of a European language? Why do you have European traditions? Why do you have European architecture?

    Why is the native population of Argentina only numbered at approx 600,000 people, when the population of Argentina is 40,000,000? Why does your president and the majority (if not all) of the government have European names?

    No Malen, the conquerers didn't leave in 1800. They stayed and contined to conquer and colonise land, by murdering the real owners of that land.

    The descendants of those conquerers and colonisers are still stealing the land off the real owners. Shame on you.

    As regards to whether the Falkland Islanders are indigenous to the islands. Well since they were the 1st inhabitants, I guess that does make them indigenous now, doesn't it? I suppose it depends on what criteria is used.

    So forget almost all my other arguments of Argentina owning Antarctica. Just remember this one: Since the first NATIVE indigenous inhabitant of the continent was a lowly argie, I'm sure the UK is ready to acknowledge Antarctica is argentine.

    Anything else would be utter hypocrisy, and as I'm told here the UK never lies, never engages in hypocrisy, never breaks treaties, and are the only nation in Christiandom without the original sin, that's how pure in probity they are.

    You don't recognize how buffonish you sound don't you. Argentina has existed for 200 years, do your math... 200 > 180 (I know education is a low priority in the UK these days).

    Second, if permanent habitation by the Falklanders counts, so must it count for Argentines, which have lived in modern Argentina since 1580.

    Third, Argentina has permanently had people in Antarctica since 1904, and the only permanent town is Argentine.

    http://www.polarconservation.org/education/antarctic-bases/argentina-and-antarctica/stations-bases-camps-and-refuges/esperanza-base

    It is the birthplace of Emilio Marcos Palma (born January 7, 1978), the first person to be born in Antarctica.

    The Base has tourist facilities that are visited by approximately 1,100 tourists each year.

    On February 18, 1976 opens the first Antarctic catholic chapel under protection of Saint Francis of Assisi. In 1978 the first families settle down. On May 14, 1978 open a nursery, kindergarten and Antarctic school in the base, depending on Institute Dr. Damaso Centeno. As from August 11, 1997 becomes dependent on Education Ministry of Tierra del Fuego province with the name of Provincial School nro 38 “Julio Argentino Roca”.

    On October 20, 1979 opens the radio broadcasting station LRA 36 (Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel).

    In Oct. 2010, a census stated that there are 66 people at the Base, “which includes 9 families and 16 children”. The census operation involved an hour and a half, but had to be done under freezing conditions of minus 3 degrees.

    Check mate. The indigenous and first humans in Antarctica are Argentine.

The teacher cannot believe her ears. ”My goodness, Mary, why are you a peronist?“ she asks. ”Well, my momma and papa are anti-peronists, so I'm an anti-peronist too.“ ”Well,“ says the teacher in an annoyed tone, ”that's no reason for you to be an anti-peronist.

    Malen, you are truly an idiot. When colonists declare themselves independent of the implanting country, it does not make them equivalent to the indigenous population. And your forebears weren't called conquistadors because they were on some kind of aid project.

    @196

    You should read @139 again instead of just restating your original argument. As it is, a reasonable person might conclude that you're just playing your usual trick of sneaking some population or other, be it whalers, sealers, scientists, scrap metal dealers or whatever it is you can think of, onto somebody else's territory, and then claiming that this jiggery-pokery makes the territory yours. Only this time, when the treaty expires, it's not just the UK you're going to have to contend with. That's going to be fun.

    Another point Yuleno, if the Falkland Islanders do not have their own culture can you explain to me why their gear for riding horses is named in Spanish?
    And the cattle grids in the Falklands have a Spanish, not English name, (Islanders, is it a Passilibra?)

    The Falkland Islandsin the mid 1800s had their biggest population increase when 150 gauchos came over to work from South America, at the time this was a bigger influx of population numericall ythan people arriving from Scotland, the Scottish Hebrides and Wales.

    Transplanted population=Argentine myth, unless you now think that Danish, Swedish, German French and Argentinians are English.

    The myth that the Falkland Islandspopulation has been made up mostly of English people is a myth perpetrated by Argentines who can't be arsed to go to Stabnley and look up the census records which shows the Islands stock derives from many nationalities

    My uncle (in England)has riden a horse for years, since the 1940s when he was young and he has never termed his saddles reins etc in Spanish.

    The Falkland Islanders won't have to fight the UK if they wish independence, the British will allow them to achieve this status as they did with most of the countries they colonised.

    If they want to stay with the UK, the UK will allow this too.

    If the islanders wanted to be Argentine, this woulsd also be allowed.

    And when you sent the Peninsulari back to Spain, did they take your genetic code with them. Or did you simply change your name from Spanish to Argentinian (or UP), Conquistador to Criollo.

    You are the descendant of those who conquered and cleared the land of its native population, and implanted your people.

    And the native people you and your forbearers dispossessed, what do you say to them, when they say to you:

    @Isolde and the other Falklanders and Brits.

    CFK is just looking increasingly sad and desperate, isn't she.

    She has made Argentina an international pariah in terms of finance, and has pursued populist policies to keep herself rich, and in power, at the expense of the average Argentinian.

    She has ensured that Argentina has very few friends of any real weight in the international arena and made Argentina look like a obsessive compulsive liar suffering from turrets and kleptomania. No-one in South America is going to seriously back up any action over the falklands.

    Meanwhile, at home she has crashed the economy. Doubtlessly her defenders will reply, stating that “socialism is best” or “how wonderful she is”. Meanwhile many Argentinians have become disillusioned with her and are increasingly taking to the streets to protest.

    This could lead to her making a desperate gamble in the mold of Galtieri, by staging some sort of incident, but if that is the case she will almost certainly fail to garner any fresh support, other than that already given by such worthies as Hugo (fat boy) Chavez and the leaders of Iran..... I don't see them sending combat assets to help her out either.

    Meanwhile we in UK and the Falklanders can tell her to MYOBB (mind your own bloody business) and while keeping calm and carrying on.

    It's enough to make me LOL.

    Dear Harvard Students, this link will take you to a video. It's important that you watch it because it will show you the type of forum Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is used to speaking in. A “political” rally which her government organized, where she just talks about herself, all she's done for the people and gets thousands of people to clap, cheer and wave banners in her support. She's not able to hold any other type of forum. And the people attending? Who are they? Poor people who live in shantytowns (villas) as we call them, who are paid between 20-50 pesos to attend, they get served a sausage sandwich (called Choripan) and given cheap wine (that comes in cardboard packs called Tetra). Then they show this on television for days and days with all the people cheering for her to make it looks like she has all of this political support! This are true 3rd world south american poltics.......a political forum at Harvard is way TOO much for Cristina!.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcmymeZf8jM

    Whereas the Falklanders are new people formed from the nationalities of different countries (including Argentinians) but enjoy the support of their former colonisers.

    The Falkland Islanders therefore do not have to rebel against the UK, because the UK will allow the Falkland Islanders to be Independent, British or Argentine.

    But don't expect the Falkland Islanders to choose Argentine nationality as they have inherited the bad parts of the Spanish colonisers that the Argentines rejected, and wish to become colonisers themselves.

    You are boasting about an upgrade to old vessels, whereas the UK currently has the most ADVANCED type of destroyer in the world! LOL

    However, the Germans don't work for free, especially in this economic climate. They certainly won't accept an IOU from Argentina, as they (you) are notorious for not paying their (your) debts. Just how is Argentina going to pay for all this hardware?

    Argentina only have 2 types of MEKO vessel:

    Almirante Brown class destroyers (4) - more than 40 years old, with armaments to match. Speed 30.5 knots. Even with an upgrade all 4 of them are no match for a type 45 class destroyer.

    Espora class corvette (mini frigates) (6) - 4 are 10-20 years old, and 2 delivered between 1999 & 2004, with armaments to match. Speed 27 knots. Even with upgrade they are no match for one type 45 destroyer.

    Now Type 45 - Daring class destroyer (3 in service, 3 under construction) - brand new (less than 10 years old). Stealth technology. All the latest weaponry systems including; air defence, land attack, ship to ship attack, submarine detection and attack capability. Top speed 31.5 knots which can be achieved in 120 seconds (that's fast).

    Then let's see. We currently have 2 Astute class submarines in service with 5 more under construction.

    We also have 2 aircraft carriers under construction, with new aircraft currently being built.

    Hmm, I don't think the UK or the Falkland Islanders will lose sleep over this, especially as I doubt Argentina has the money to pay for all these ships to be upgraded.

    This is just another meaningless announcement for the 'folks' back home, just like when the keep announcing that __________(insert country) is going to invest in YPF, only to find that actually they're not. LOL

    However, no matter what Argentina does, the Falkland Islanders will remain free to choose their own future, Britain will ensure that they will.

    @269 Simon68,
    Thanks for your support. l think now that 2012/Sussie is not in full command of her/his senses.
    Someone is winding her/him up just to see whay damage they can do.
    l know l said before that l wouldn't answer her/his posts anymore & l have been doing so, but now l will just ignore her/him.
    She/he makes absolutely no sense at all.
    Oh Goodbye, Soozy, bye now
