A democratic tidal wave is forecast to hit The Falklands, and its their time to shine and prove to the world their right to exist!
Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0SELF-DETERMINATION.......Best Of British!
@3 I must agree to a certain extent... I'm back again and it seems to have gotten worse than 2006 the last time I was here... Someone needs to invest into some further infrastructure in Stanley if they expect to be able to support all of the Oil and gas that they will be producing soon enough... It would be a good use of the 25 % incom tax they place on everyone who comes to help them develop.. Quit living like a bunch of Kelpers!!
Mar 05th, 2013 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0As an Argentinian I support and respect your referendum and cause for self- determination. And I believe a lot of people here do, possibly more than we imagin...Unfortunatelly we cannot say this freely here as we may be labelled as traitors, etc. Hopefully some day in the future- when we have much better and serious leaders- we can live as good neighbours and trust. Good luck.
Mar 05th, 2013 - 04:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well said Patagonico, - Don't worry, we know the majority of you are reasonable people. But as you say, you can't speak freely in Argentina.
Mar 05th, 2013 - 06:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sixty different press reps? Wow!
With absolute certainty a good precentage of those will be pro-CFK.
But still, they will be allowed to have their say, this is how things are in a real democracy.
Hmm, that flight's insurance premium might be a little higher than usual. I wouldn't put it past CFK to try something insane.

Mar 05th, 2013 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done. It'll be a long time before the malvinas myth dissipates so watch yourself.
Because the argentine populas ave been indoctrinated since childhood, blind faith in the malvinas is all that sustains it, but the evidence of history, international law, and democracy are the only true weapons that can fight it and the press will see what the islanders and britain have had to put up with other the years. Just as britain dispatched the Junta, the islanders will dispatch CFK and her brethren.
T-minus 5 days to the referendum!
@3 And who are YOU? Apart from someone who can't get their numbering right! IF you paid enough attention, you would know that there are already plans for increasing accommodation for oil and gas industry employees. Since you don't seem to like the Islanders, why are you there? Just another argie spiv?
Mar 05th, 2013 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 I agree. A puppet muppet. Consider the meaning of just one of his “statements”. According to him (it), the UN recognises the right of a “people” to self-determination, but not the right of an “indigenous people”. The guy is a fruitcake!

@9,15. Well... He has to grout up every corner of the box they're in from the genocidal war of the desert to their celebrated fascist Juntas last gasp to impose their Dirty War on the Falklanders to justify how Argentina can do whatever it wants, take whatever it wants, kill whoever it wants and celebrate it on worthles and plunging currency that they demand that they can spend wherever they want (but their government officials can keep as much USDs in their overseas accounts so long as they don't store it in their office lavatories -- gotta have SOME standards).

Mar 05th, 2013 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very refreshing remarks from Argentina on this matter.
If it's irrelvant and illegal then why are the Argentines complaining about it so much? Is it just their default response to everything?
Mar 05th, 2013 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As you can see i wasn't wrong when i said that we have some sepoys in the mainland who love defending their decadent british empire.
Mar 05th, 2013 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's hard for me to say this, because i admire beatriz sarlo, in fact, she is a very prestigious thinker and writer, beside, sometimes her analysis are very interesting. However she decided to become into one more sepoy, who pretends to be a defender of the right to self determination for the islanders, when actually that right has never been applied for this cause by the u. n.
Anyway, if we live in democracy, it's obvious that everybody have right to think whatever they want, but there is nothing more important than the facts, and they show that beyond some people's hipocresy, the malvinas-falkland cause has always been considered like a special colonial situation by the u. n., and the govt. from the islands has never been included in any of the resolutions that were expressed for this dispute.
The strong defence that those people who join that so called alternative view, is not more than an argentine colonial caprice, in fact, there is a sector of our society which has always been sepoy.
Those hipocrites criticise the decisions taken by c. f. k's govt. in relation to this conflict, however, when they presented their group last year, they didn't make any critic, in reference to the sistematic rejection by the u. k., respecting the resolutions from the u. n. which call both nations to resume the negotiations for the malvinas-falkland cause. This omission showes that they are just hipocrite people who are using this cause.
On the other hand, it's hightly arguable to pretend to be concerned about human rights, without makng any critic to the support that the giornal where they work (la nación), gave to all the coup d'etats, and was one of the main instruments of propaganda of the war of 1982, like clarin. For all these reasons, the are just HIPOCRITES.

Ha, ha.
@23 What a dozy, useless, incompetent faggot you are. Have you ever noticed that the Falkland Islands isn't a member of the UN? And has no need to pay any attention to its “pronouncements”? Here's the deal, dumbass. The referendum is legal under FI law. The UN-approved administering authority, the UK, supports it. “Your” opinion is irrelevant. By “Your” I include your corrupt, criminal, crooked state. YOU HAVE LOST. Not that you ever stood any chance. Now here's the real deal. If you continue to make your criminal, deluded, illegitimate, illegal, mendacious claims to OUR territory, we will have two options. We could ignore you. Or we could silence you. Personally, I'm in favour of silencing you. After all, we get to “punish” 40 million war criminals at the same time. We can take over what used to be “argieland” and give it to deserving people. Perhaps we could offer it to the Scots? They like killing people. And a new land for the Gurkhas. They like killing people as well. I understand that they are still a little disappointed at not taking some argie heads in '82. We should have given them the POW cowards. A “problem” solved. No argie POWS to return. All dead. All 11,313 plus the 1,657 yellow-belly “wounded”.

@27 But you deserve death. Preceded by several days of “punishment”. First the toes. Then the fingers, ripped apart joint by joint. Then the feet. Two chops. The hands. Two more chops. The calves. The forearms. The thighs. The upper arms. I think male argie genitalia should be chopped off in three parts. Female argie genitalia should be gouged out. Ears, nose, head, one at a time. And an 10 foot shaft up your butt! Just remember the British motto. If it's argie, it's not human, kill it!

The FI AND Rgland will be under micro scrutiny by the international press. KFCs agressive stance, Timermans hyperbole, lies will be scrutinised and picked apart. These folk aren't used to a truly free press it will be very uncomfortable for Argentina.

My point is that these people can rage and rant and spew abuse all they want but they can't phyiscally hurt you can they? I believe such ranting is abismal and stupid but I'm not the Lord and Master of the internet so there's jack-all I can do about it. Plently of RG posters on here spew hateful rants wishing the death and/or desruction of the Falkland Islanders or other groups of people, but they are just words. Hurtful words yes but words nontheless.
If you have recieved abuse from a Mercopress emplyee then you should report it and that person should be punished accordingly. But that is hardly the kelper's fault is it?
Ms Sarlo does not hide behind a false name on the internet, she is out there using her real name and identity to oppose a government that doesn't like being opposed. If she recieves death threats then it is highly propable that someone could carry out that threat. Hell knows CFK has the power to make her vanish. I doubt anyone on here has the concections to order a hit on you. Besdies, you wouldn't be worth the effort.
Maybe you should go back over your posts and consider why it is that other people seem to hate you so much. Perhaps you have brought this on yourself?
@34 Your data has “misteriously” found its way to them islands. Didnt you visit a couple of months ago? Your references to Celias cat and dog certainly gave veracity to your visit.At an airport, old boy you have to go through immigration, so they know who you are. Nothing misterious about that!

@7 The UK has much more to offer than the British colonial system of land management. The Falklands effectively integrated into the UK would have a real autonomy in which the inhabitants themselves elect their governor and would have representation in national parliamentary bodies. But such issues can be discussed only when the UK recognises that colonialism is politically incorrect. A NO vote would help gain that recognition.

“Cuarenta por ciento de la población actual llegó a las islas hace menos de diez años”
(40 percent of the present population arrived in the islands within less than 10 years)

By 1914 approximately 30 (thirty) percent of the Argentine population were foreign-born.
Following Kohen's logic, there was no Argentine people in 1914.

The offer still stands.
lf you show up here dressed in an Argentine military uniform, armed & with malice aforethought you will be assured of my help.
The reasons being:-
1) you would be an uninvited, unwelcome invader.
2) you are prepared to kill any of us that gets in your way.
3) you want to take what from us what we have built & saved for.
4) you want to deport any survivors.
lf this were not so, why would you invade?
ln addition:-
1) your pathetic country tells lies to anyone who will listen about us.
2) your pathetic country is mounting a blockade against us.
3) you, yourself are a first generation Argentine, yet you have the gall to scream that 7th,8th &9th generation lslanders have no rights to their homes.
4) you continually call us “squatters” when in fact ALL of you Argentines ARE squatters living on land stolen from the native peoples.
After your country murdered them of course.
5) you insult us at every turn. “Brutish” is one of your favourites, closely followed by “turnips”
6) l only allow my close friends to call me a “Pom”, another Think insult?
To you l would be addressed as Memsahib.
(or because of our age gap, Missybaba, could be appropiate).
7) l can go on if you so desire, but you're not really worth my time.
Let me put it simply for you señor.
1) No, you are NOT going to get the Falklands.
2) No, you are NOT going to get South Georgia or any other British territory
3) No, you do NOT own British Antarctica.
4) No, it is NOT the Argentine Sea. you do NOT own the South Atlantic.

If it had a good case it would not be concerned in the least by any opposition because they would know they were right when of course they realise their distortion of history is false, hence the need to quash opposition (as this offers to contradict their flawed thinking).

I need to debate with people who don't think like me, but since a couple of months ago, i decided to continue wasting my time, answering the comments of people who have such mediocre and ignorant thoughts, who just insult deliberatly, or make despisable and ignorant comparisons.
Unfortunatelly in just a few oportunities i could have interesting debates with people who don't think like me in this website.
Anyway, although in just a few oportunities i could have interesting debates with some people, i dont regret choosing this website to post my opinions about different issues.

Is this your own special axe to grind?
@64 Ay ay Isolde. You really enjoy winding up our transplanted swede or should I say Patagonian mangelwurzel. I think hes quite intelligent though there are a few lacunae in his brain and I enjoy the cut and thrust to use a fencing analogy

These comments seem a self reflection of yourself Axel
A typical analysis from a member of an arrogant country that looks down its nose at everyone else(ask the rest of South America) and blames everyone else for its mistakes.

I have a brand new bespoke, made for me, 2/3 scale Bowie knife with a Sheffield carbon steel blade polished to a mirror finish and sharpened at 30 deg lead and 25 deg edge (combat specification) reserved for him if he ever announces he is coming to Punta!
Never used, but living in hope! :o)

Mar 07th, 2013 - 04:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If i were an arrogant, i woudn't recognize the serious mistakes that my country committed in different moments. If i had that posture, i would do what many people in this forum do, i mean making too partial analysis and ignorant comparisons.
My reference to the mediocre and ignorant thoughts of some people, refer to the despisable comparisons of some people, who compare the actual argentine govt. with the dictatorship of 1982, this is evident that they have no idea about what they say, and have a very partial knowledge about argentina's situation, that's what really annoys me.
Anyway i don't think you are neathre reactionary nor ignorant, like some people in this forum, despite that we have very different opinions respecting this isssue, we can debate openly.

I agree this is a positive approach Axel.
I am not against different views but when Argentine posters assert that Self -Determination does not apply to the Islanders (I have not found a single definitive UN statement that spells out boldly that the Falkland Islanders are specifically exempt from self-determination) or the clearly moronic statement that the Islanders are implanted (AS IF Argentines are not implanted Europeans themselves) I respond more aggressively, if I cannot find logic in a debate.
What I find hard to see is how the present Argentine government can deny comparison with the 1982 Junta, yet issue a coin that glorifies the 1982 invasion.
It either dissasociates itself with the Junta or it doesn't.
If the present Argentine government truly rejected the Junta, they would not glorify the war by issuing coins or commemorating the invasion.
PETE BOG.
Mar 09th, 2013 - 09:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the argentine govt. commemorates are the soldiers who fought in the conflict, but it doens't celebrates galtieri's decision of invading the archipelago. In fact c. f. k. has always manifested that arg. asks the u. k. to resume the negotiations with our country, in order to find a peaceful solution, so, it's really ignorant and despisable to compare the actual govt. with the galtieri's dictatorship.
Beside, our constitution is very clear respecting the way that arg. must continue with it's claim over the islands, it says it must must be under the respect for the international right, and peacefuly. It doesn't say absolutly anything about the using of militar forces to recover the sovereignty.
Respecting the application of self determination, i think that the u. n.'s posture is contradictory, because while it is true that there is not any resolution which exempts the islanders from self determination, it is also true that there is not any resolution either that invokes that right for this cause, in fact, if you get into the website from the u. n., you'll see that self determination was invoked by the u. n. for other colonial situations, but never for the malvinas-falkland cause.
On the other hand, the president from the decolnization committe said twice that self determination can't be applied for this case, however, a lot of people in this forum invalid what he said, because his expressions don't coincid with what they want to hear.
In my opinion there are stupid arguments in both sides. I have never liked hearing that the population from the islands is implanted. The true reason why that right can't be applied for this cause, is because arg. was deprived by the u. k. of exercising it's rights since 1833, and since 1982, the u. k. rejects the u. n's resolutions that call both nations to resume the negotiations for this conflict. Beside, if we investigate deeply this dispute, we'll see that the case has strong and weak aspects for both countries.
@79 Axel,
Mar 10th, 2013 - 06:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Axel, you were not deprived of your “Rights” in 1833 or 1982, because you've NEVER had any rights here.
Axel, Argentina has NO RIGHTS in the Falklands.
None, zilch, nada.
And never will have.
Say after me, Axel..............Argentina has NO RIGHTS in the Falklands............................
