Jun 25th, 2013 - 05:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shocking behaviour by the Argentine government of CFK - state sponsored genocide!
Jun 25th, 2013 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Glad to see their actions are now in the world spotlight.
Hopefully, there will be some benefit to the few remaining Original Inhabitants who were not quite wiped out by Argentine Colonialists.
From my experience of 30 years living in Latin America the implanted populations of Hispanoamerica are guilty of the most abject racism. Ecuador, Colombia, the Central American republics and, especially, Argentina with its history of genocide are the worst offenders.
Jun 25th, 2013 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps they should ask to be put on C24 list,
Jun 25th, 2013 - 06:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And demand independence from Argentina,
After all they have rights, and will probably be followed by other regions and provinces in argentina demanding independence..
C24 would have a field day .lol

Jun 25th, 2013 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to Argentina only indigenous people have rights not implanted ones.
Jun 25th, 2013 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps that rule works in reverse inside Argentina.
Pope Malv 1st will probably do more about this issue than the Falklands.
Argentina clearly hasn’t digested the last territories it conquered, premature for them to talk about the next ones.
Phrases like usurpers and squatters spring to mind, though no doubt the Qom and Mapuche have been listening to the rhetoric from CFK & Co regarding their desires for yet more territorial expansion.
The difference in the S Atlantic/Antarctic is that unlike Atahualpa, the British have more than just bows and arrows with which to defend their territory.
I can see this being a royal pain in the arse for CFK, what with her relationship with the soap on a rope, only one loser and it doesn't include botox.

What's the bet we get at least a few posts ref WW2, Iraq Afghan etc
Think? What do you think? Should KFC be talking? Are the Indians who remain treated fairly? Is this an issue for Argentineans?
Jun 25th, 2013 - 08:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for that link, Slattzzz
Jun 25th, 2013 - 08:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am interested to hear what pgerman says on this subject.
He has recently written a short article on the subject that has been published now.
I do not know if he agrees with the Revisionists or not.
It would be interesting to have an educated Argentine's perspective.

Jun 25th, 2013 - 08:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What happened to the black people in Argentina?
Their disappearance is one of Argentina's most enduring mysteries. In 1810, black residents accounted for about 30 percent of the population of Buenos Aires. By 1887, however, their numbers had plummeted to 1.8 percent!
I would guess they went to the same place as the Indigenous population!
It is hilarious that CFK went on her hands and knees to the pope to ask with help for the Falklands, to be met by 'sorry go away, not interested.'
Jun 25th, 2013 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now the indigenous population get to meet the pope to complain about CFK, who like with the Falkland Islanders is too much of a snotty nosed snob to meet the Qom.
Would be funny if the pope asked CFK to cancel her latest Botox injection to meet the Qom.
@12 even funnier if he asked her to talk to the people of the Falkland Islands, can you imagine the response, meltdown, Timidman would shit his pants and Castro the trolley dolly would ask for political asylum in London,. THINK / Dover would become a born again Christian and a member of BNP and the Dover Falklands association and TTT would kneel and kiss all those Canadian dollars with a picture of the QUEEN on them. Sweet
Jun 25th, 2013 - 09:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To Boovis: The european implanted population of Argentina is almost the whole country.
Jun 25th, 2013 - 09:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0looks like the trolls have stopped being paid
Jun 25th, 2013 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@14: Indeedly :D
Jun 25th, 2013 - 10:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeedly, but oddly.
Jun 26th, 2013 - 12:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Trolls were aggressively ballyhooing their repetitive crap on all the fluff threads, but now there is some meat, they're nowhere to be found.
I get the feeling Toby has invited them all (3 real and 14 'socks'?) for a 'sleepover' at his parents place in Mendoza.
I bet CFK has some desperate strategy she's about to unleash and they're trying to figure out a plausible 'spin' to put on it.

Jun 26th, 2013 - 06:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0According to most of the trolls on here the 'native' populations in Argentina were implanted from Chile and therefore they have no rights.
You couldn't make crap like this up, could you?
As for whether the Pope will have any influence with TMBOA, who knows.
I am, however, expecting her to announce any day now that she is 'democratising' the Catholic Church in Argentina.
This again is very simple.
Jun 26th, 2013 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Either you believe that the national boundaries of 1945 are the only relevant entities and that only the people within those boundaries can change their governements...i.e. self determination (UK, US, EU etc)
Or you beleive that you should continually pick the bones of historical debates 200-500-1000 years old (latam)
If you think the first, then the Falklands, Gibraltar, Taiwan, etc etc become very simple, and the Qom people have the same and equal rights as every other Argentine. Kosovo can happen, as can South Sudan, Scotland can vote on independence all based on the quite simple ethos of self determination.
However, if you want to do it LATAMs way, then the Qom people have far more rights than any Hispanic South American, who took the land by force and committed genocide.
it cuts both ways Mr Timmerman you hypocritical turd.
@18 She would be stupid enough to start a campaign to nationalize the church, cut off funding, or criticize them in one of her stupid rants on TV.
Jun 26th, 2013 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Then expect a series of vitriolic Tweets about the pope, and stories of priests being brutally beaten by La Campora goons while the aggressors are conveniently “not affiliated” with the Ks in any manner. Lastly, she will take pictures with other indigenous people and say that “she has always protected their rights”.
Or somebody could shoot TMBOA preferably with an arrow, wouldn't that be poetic justice.
Jun 26th, 2013 - 06:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Silence from certain quarters is deafening! Can't wait to hear cfk's response.....if she ever gives one in her democracia
Jun 28th, 2013 - 06:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0@13
Jun 29th, 2013 - 12:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ha haaa. slaaatz ,CFK would turn white if the pope suggested she talked to the Falkland Islanders and Timmerturd would indeed uncontrollably relieve himself at the prospect.
They are both scared of the Falkland Islanders, even though of course, they don't exist, apparently.
