Those are the ones doing speeches in this forum for independence. If you are so nationalistic, they return to live in the islands to continue with a boring life.

Mar 12th, 2013 - 03:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excellent articles. I read them carefully. Timerman did very well in London in the trap is not English.
Unfortunately for the Islanders inglese, deposed from euphoria, comes the disappointment. The referendum does not change anything. In contrast, world public opinion no longer tolerates English colonialism and imperialism in the 21st century. English increases isolation on the world stage.
“I think people who live in the islands can do what they want. They have that right and you can not deny. But however, the discussion is not self-determination but sovereignty over the islands according to UN documents ”said Ambassador Pazmiño Morejon.
see the following link:
http://en.mercopress.com/2013/03/04/c24-president-insists-falklands-dispute-is-over-sovereignty-not-self-determination
In these moments of self-deception on the part of the British islanders, is very healthy to remind our constitution:
“La Nacion Argentina ratifies its legitimate and sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the corresponding maritime and insular areas, being part of the national territory. Recovery of said territories and the full exercise of sovereignty , respecting the way of life of their inhabitants and according to the principles of international law are a permanent and unwavering goal of the Argentine people. ”
CONSTITUTION ARGENTINA, Prime transitional provision
@XAVIERV, I think you will find it is Argentines that live overseas that grace this forum you see they left Argentina looking for a better life infact Marcos Alejandro lives in London he states he will return when things get better,do you agree he might be waiting a long time???
Mar 12th, 2013 - 03:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Which take this result to the UN, is Argentina. It confirms our arguments. They are implanted in a British overseas territory, are that and nothing more. So understand the world and that will not change because of what people want to remain moon lunatics.

There are many who say from the outside, not me, and I live forever in my nursery Argentina. Would be nice if the islanders who are outside, recognize that fact before comment.
@XAVIERV - I have a degree and post graduate qualifications, I returned to the islands to live and work and raise my family and have proudly voted YES today, as have many of those who went overseas with me to continue their education.

Mar 12th, 2013 - 04:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is easy to proclaim the independence of a territory, which does not have the balls enough to raise your children. Ask yourself: Why choose to live elsewhere? I know your back if you want, but look at your son and know he has no future in the islands. That there may not be a professional. If your child wants to be a lawyer, you can practice this profession with satisfaction? You know that. Who will defend the islands? If you are just 3000 and to top it all family!
@XAVIERV So you then accept the fact that you are Argentine and a decendent from European immagrants who were inplanted into South America by Spanish Pirates?? Also it's no use talking about what is written into your constitution that does not mean anything to anyone outside of Argentina you people should stop dreaming you have far to many internal problems to be dealing with believe me once Kirchner as gone things will be different, but always remember YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR as the Islanders will get but unfortunately you got KIRCHNER
Mar 12th, 2013 - 04:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think you're pissing off the container. That's not the point. The question is: do you want to live country and stay in the islands, raise your children there and once you return to professional develop fully as a person. For example: If your child wants to be an architect, how much work can get in the islands? Nothing! You see my point, if someone wants to be something different, to be a shepherd, has no future in the islands. Just to anchor yourself, I am a descendant of mulattoes specifically and very little blood runs through my veins European. Me: Twitter @ 71jv

Mar 12th, 2013 - 04:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Did I say that is not true? On the contrary, I think the problem is that the islanders have nowhere to spend the money. With so much money at it, they fly 14,000 miles to find people in your class, which has high levels of income like them. But still, there is no future in the islands. It does not matter the money, when you see that your family does not have a horizon toward which to look, just want to get out of there and find another place in the world where you can develop. I have and you know why.
Congrats to the Falkland Islanders! Your land, your choice. Well done.

I sincerely hope that they can exploit the oil and everyday life are more sophisticated. My best wishes to you. I'm not like you, you like the bad of my country. To extract that oil workers are going to need, but feel much aversion to hire Argentine Chilean insurance. Soon there will be so many Chilean islands as islanders. And knowing Chileans .. Find out because the chile, has so many problems with all neighboring countries? (Argentina, Peru and Bolivia) We just have to be here, sitting and waiting. Time is on our side.
@41 “Time is on our side.” You'll be worm food, as will successive generations of equally stupid future-Argies, before your bleating country sees even the most infinitesimal shift to its favour. In the meantime, you keep whining and we'll keep laughing at you.

Sorrrryyy, wrong analogy - there were NO Argentinians there and it was not owned by the non-existent Argentina when the Brits and other, first Falklanders settled it.
Jajajaja! You give me laugh .. There is no future in the islands, every day are less British and more foreign residents. Those who go to school, they no longer (as you did). Soon another referendum will know whether to be Chilean, each day more. And I'm sure you are another emigre, who only feels happy from afar, while other islands, are the ones to stand guard for the inhabitants of the islands implanted surrender ..
Mar 12th, 2013 - 05:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done Falklanders, 99.8%, wow! British forever, let the Argentines moan, there is absolutely nothing they can do, and sit back and watch their government collapse. Fantastic news.
Mar 12th, 2013 - 05:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0where this self-determination? you are not self-determine anything, understand? the auotdeterminacion is a disguise for Argentina and can not continue to claim, if they have the power of self-determination and they hate to Argentina, as they continue to allow the entry of Argentines to the islands? the answer is very simple, you can not decide!! Argentines continue to visit the islands because london permitting! not even self-determine the content of school subjects of their children, as a teacher mentioned that the plan comes assembled from London, as in English schools. Is London who takes refuge behind you, like the wolf (England) in sheep's clothing (kelpers) to divert the talks. Something very striking is that many Chileans spoke saying “we are islanders and we remain so” this is to believe or bust! regarding the attire worn by the voters I found a circus and even a voice vote trend!
Mar 12th, 2013 - 05:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree that there should be a rapprochement between Argentina and the islands, is supposed to be the next and natural bond for a future solution, approach I mean a real exchange, not sending teddy bears insignificant.
@44 So you've realised that your own country is too weak, corrupt and incompetent to get the Falklands so your fall-back position is to hope Chile gets them? That's mental progress for you I suppose.

Congratulations islanders. The Uninhabitted islands were, are and always will be YOURS.
That such an overwhelming majority has to officially articulate an obvious known position, especially, especially after years of proud unrepentantce since 1982 from successive AR governments shows what a travesty SA's tone deaf “official position” on the Islands are. “Asking British to vote to stay British is like asking Argentines to stay Argentine.” But in reality it's more like the Danes, Poles, Czechs, Belgians and Dutch having the chutzpah to vote to stay Danes, Poles, Czechs, Belgians and Dutch -- rather than being, you know, German. The fascists ~still~ don't get it -- or maybe they do (doncha just hate it when the mask slips?).
Mar 12th, 2013 - 07:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done Falkland Islanders. Here, in Australia, your referendum received good coverage, both in newsprint and in the electronic media. The coverage was positive and noted that the islanders were standing for themselves by staging this referendum to counteract the agggressive and unreasonable posturing of the Argentine government.

So far you are “planning” on talking about it amongst yourselves, claiming it is meaningless but saw fit to travel about and get ambassadors to try to win favour within their designated countries and not much else.
You promised legal action against oil companies in May 2012 and nothing has happened.
Why do you constantly talk yourselves up yet do nothing? Lack.of confidence or spine?
So,what are you going to actually do about it?
@36 Marcos
Mar 12th, 2013 - 07:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0“You can be British is Northern Ireland but it is still Irish territory”.
Not according to the Irish constitution. The old Article 2 which claimed sovereignty was dropped after the Good Friday Agreement. You see the Irish accept the principle of consent and self-determination. As a result relations between the UK and Ireland have never been better.
Ironically, part of the problem in N.Ireland was that for years most countries swallowed Republican propaganda and assumed that the N. Irish would vote for a united Ireland if allowed to vote freely. Once the world realised the NI people wanted to stay British they supported the peace deal and the status quo.
if only there was some kind of way for the Falkland Islanders to tell the world what they want!! And If only the Argentines were as politically mature as the Irish.

Also thanks to the rest of South America for providing the internationl observers in what has been declared a free and fair vote.
75...On March 24, 1976, a military junta led by General Jorge Rafael Videla seized power from President Isabel Peron. Between 1976 and 1983, an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 people the new government suspected of involvement with left-wing activities were “disappeared” by authorities in what is now called the “Dirty War.” Citizens were kidnapped, detained, tortured, executed and occasionally dumped out of airplanes — dead or alive — over the Atlantic Ocean. Those taken came to be known as the Desaparecidos, the Spanish word for “Disappeared.”

Mar 12th, 2013 - 11:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you have proof that the Islands are not sovereign British territory, then take it to the ICJ.
If you don't then we know that you are just an impotent and jealous fascist from Argentina, who is afraid of true democracy and self-determination.
By the way, if you see your Dear Leader Crisitina, will you thank her for us?
Without her, this referendum would never have been advertised so widely around the world.
Self determination is not a joke. it's enshrined in the Articles of the UN.
Mar 12th, 2013 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excercising it, is known as democracy. You should try it sometime.
Falked!
Mar 12th, 2013 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is just a short matter of time before CFK announces the Argentinian Referendum to test the proposition “ Argentina should keep its territories in Antarctica and its islands of the South Atlantic?” Yes/No
But would CFK see this as a defaulk if were less than 98%?
At 50 pesos a vote? Wow! that is going to be expensive for her.
Mar 12th, 2013 - 12:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0XAV- please accept facts- the huge majority of Islanders who study abroad RETURN to the Islanbds - it is a simple fact - prove me otherwise if you can quote the numbers?
Mar 12th, 2013 - 12:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for Lawyers etc - YES - our Immigration rules are quite clear- if there is an Island Resident qualified and apt for whatever the job is - he or she gets it and the person who would have to come in from overseas does not.
Marcio - we follow the UK educations system as many children arrive from Britain already part way through it and as we send students later on to UK for further studies it is commonsense to have the same system
But I understand you - CommonSences is not a natural thing to Argentina to understand.

That just about sums it up !
Latest from BsAs:-
Mar 12th, 2013 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mauricio Macri the mayor of BsAs was is so impressed with the vote in the Falklands/Malvinas & the concept of self determination that he is pursuing the idea of BsAs seperating from Argentina using the same priciple
This would free him from the constant interference of the CFK government, the leftist anti business, anti middle class, anti democratic policies which inevitably harm any major metropolitan city & would also make him The President which is what he desperately wants
Last heard of his advisors were trying to contact the Governor of the FI & RIOM to organise such a referendum
Millions of Argies including Raul, Doveoverdover & Malvinero are lining up for their DNI to the new independant BsAs wishing to be free from socialist, militant, Bolivarian policies that are destroying Argentina :-) :-)
@10 Are you really that stupid? Sorry. Of course you are. Since all argie ballots are rigged, what are you complaining about? That the Falklanders didn't vote for a belligerent, corrupt, criminal, crooked, ignorant, larcenous, mendacious, xenophobic neighbour?
Mar 12th, 2013 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16 None of your business!
@19 Moronic fascist.
@23 Prat!
@27 The Falkland Islands will always be British!
@28 Translation: “The Falkland Islands are ours because we say so.” Response: “Why don't you come and die trying.”
@30 Here's a tip. The Falkland Islands is not a member of the UN. It can get stuffed. As can you.
@36 And who rules? Northern Ireland - a British territory in Ireland ruled by people who have decided they want to be British. Hong Kong - a Chinese territory ruled under special arrangements. Falkland Islands - a British territory ruled by British Overseas Territory people who have just told argieland to get stuffed. Aren't you “democratic”? Then do as the people say.
@41 Just tell us. Let's assume you've “existed” since 1810. You haven't, but let's assume. That's 203 years. And how far has your claim got? So you can wait for another 200. Or another 2,000. No difference. Still won't happen!
@46 We can let the nazis visit. And that's all, marcia.
@48 Goodbye, shitstick.
@83 Would you say that they learned to OBEY?
@85 I thought it had been destroyed by your “customers”? That's why so much drops out of it.
@91 Do you watch for who's behind you? The SAS is everywhere. Ready for a double tap?
Neuquén for the Neuquinos!!!!!!!!!

Mar 12th, 2013 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK has not only stated that it was illegal,
But amazingly says she has a ONE MILION SIGNITURE PETITION]

Just a thought.

Mar 12th, 2013 - 08:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't think TFI issue will stop because someone stops CFK.
CFK will go when the embarrasment of her staying becomes too much, and she is forced to hand over to someone more leader-like than her ... such as Sr Timmerman or Sra Castro.
true geoffward
Mar 12th, 2013 - 08:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but when she goes, lets hope the person who replaces her, lets the falklands alone,
and gets on with running argentina instead.
@104 - briton
Mar 12th, 2013 - 09:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think that will be their initial intent, but then they'll realise that Argentina is screwed even more than they originally thought, so they'll pull out the 'Malvina's Myth' and revert to form.
It's the old saying, if it works, don't mess with it and the Malvinas Myth certainly works. One mention of the name, they bend over touch their toes and grit their teeth.
Mar 12th, 2013 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BTW Falklanders, congratulations on gaining a voice in the world. These things take time but you are on the path that will eventually lead to getting the Argentinian monkey off your back...well done
Mar 12th, 2013 - 09:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just crossed my mind, some 30 years ago scores of Argentines were surprised to meet a population who was not elated at all that they were “liberated”. Now, scores of Argentines do not care about the result of a referendum to proof what they had witnessed. For me this is proof that the propaganda machine is stalling.
Mar 12th, 2013 - 11:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Slowly but surely.
Ushuaia Perhaps it would now be a good idea to have a referendum by the inhabitants of Picton, Lennox and Nueva Islands? Do you want to be Chilean. If no human inhabitants, what the hell even penguins should get the vote, even dead ones called Nestor.Joking of course
Mar 12th, 2013 - 11:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0mmmm, I am thinking: what if all the chinese people that live in the UK would like to declare part of the UK a chinese territory :S
Mar 13th, 2013 - 01:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Would still Cameron be pretending to defend self determination? I remember the UK right-wingers didn't seem to be so nice about self-determination with scottish people, or with irish ones...
What about the UK taking control of more and more miles in the South Atlantic Ocean lately? Maybe the children of the british sailors will be able to declare self determination in a decade or two also??
Sorry if the UK needs to maintain military bases in this side of the world to delay a bit more the collapse of their Empire, but this situation is not OK.
Rationality is not having a seat at Mercopress.
Conqueror,
Mar 13th, 2013 - 02:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0That's OK son. You do not have to feel inferior anymore ( Even if you are as a SERVANT ENGLISH BORN( BY THE WAY, I love the term MONARCHIC DEMOCRACY).
Now that you can feel a “ little Conqueror” you sound much better in a forum. Hopefully, your friends from Argentina will send you more medication for your schizophrenia. Son, do not pay more attention to the little voice telling you ARGENTINA- ARGENTINA- ARGENTINA since 1986. BE BRAVE MY SON
Does anyone know what a MONARCHIC DEMOCRAY is?
Mar 13th, 2013 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0I live in a Constitutional Monarchy. And my country hasn't had SIX unelected JUNTAS ruling it in the past century.
Seems my system wins on stability and democratic credentials when compared to Argentina.
, I am thinking: what if all the chinese people that live in the UK would like to declare part of the UK a chinese territory :S
Mar 13th, 2013 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0does that also go for brits living in argentina.
can they tear Argentina apart and declare independence.
Anglot- INO
Mar 14th, 2013 - 01:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0You live under a monarchic DEMO( I looked in your Brit dictionary and said: The demonstration of SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EXIT...) , AND
CRAY( You tell me WHAT DOES IT MEANS because it is your first language what does mean little Brit...)_
Now, let us focus in your second NON-SENSE TERM: CONSTITUTIONAL WHATTT?
COME--ON !! I gave this term to my college student in US. They laugh so loud !!!
Hey, you are right about the military history of Argentina( BUT 6 JUNTAS ? I see your educational level, pal).
This great INDEPENDENT ARGENTINA It is a young nation that struggle in its socio-political evolution. But we are growing under democratic systems. When have you evolved ?
And you want to implant such old fashion CONSTITUTIONAL WHAT ???
YOU ARE OLD.
@113 briton: Difficult to call since the break away of Kosovo from Serbia, but the UN generally does not entertain separatist movements in countries, unless the area in question is separated by blue water.
Mar 14th, 2013 - 01:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0What if Chinese in China wanted to be British though?

I would think it is the same thing, Self Determination - of course, the UK may have to station 'defensive' forces there to protect the Brits from the militarised Argentinians.

Along, long time before you. Self delusion is another great Argentinian trait
