They know. Argentina has told the UN a countless number of times.
May 10th, 2014 - 08:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0But surely the mythical Sour Grapes islands in the sea of Never Never belonging to the glorious Argentine motherland, are the best Islands?
May 10th, 2014 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0And what about some of the Argentine islands in the River Plate-aren't they in the top ten?
So the British Isles not on the list....or isn't the UK an island....

Let me just re-read the article again...nope it doesn't say small tourist destinations anywhere or a limit on population...in fact this is the description...
.....“what makes an island count as one of the best is based on his experience on the island; with the people, food, scenery, history and overall likability”
...so maybe it is you that needs to get a Brain.....
or perhaps you have an amazing ability to read things that are not there....a bit like Terry Hill...I think....
..you are not biased are you...by any chance...?

It is solely my opinion, based on my own personal experiences, mind you...
@7 i suggest you look at the source
May 10th, 2014 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0-What makes an island count as one of the best is based on my experience on the island, with the people, food, scenery, history and overall likability. It is solely my opinion based on my own personal experiences.
-Countries i.e. sovereign nations can not be included as one entry on the list. For example, Sri Lanka cannot be included as it is a sovereign nation even though I would love to include it. Other examples of this are Australia, Cuba, Iceland, Malta, Cyprus, etc.
-Private islands do not count toward my list such as Necker Island, BVI or Sanctuary Caye, Belize.
-Specific islands within an archipelago nation can be counted. For example, while the Seychelles in and of itself cannot count, Praslin and La Digue, 2 specific islands of the Seychelles are included. Conversely, as the Maldives cannot be a stand alone addition on the list, specific islands of the Maldives could be included. The problem with the Maldives are no independent islands made the list as most are simply hotels and I cannot count them even though they are amazing. Fiji or Palau are other examples of a beautiful archipelago nation that I did not include any specific islands of on the list.
-Dependency archipelagos can be counted as one entry on the list. For example, The Galapagos, The Falklands and The Cook Islands are all multi-island dependencies of other nations and all are fantastic places to visit and I have counted them each as one specific entry as opposed to breaking them up. I have been consistent with the exception of French Polynesia.

lol
and who is this abbamonte guy??
you people are pretty easy to be deceived.
now take a look to any of the recognised touring websites, for instance, trip advisor:
best islands around the world:
Ambergris Caye, Belize
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Marco Island, Florida
Lewis and Harris, Scotland
Naxos, Greece
Aitutaki, Cook Islands
Nosy Be, Madagascar
Easter Island, Chile
Ko Tao, Thailand
and the list goes on.
now, how can a pair of islets with penguins as its best attraction compete with naxos or bora bora?
haha
How can the wind blown Malvinas compete with Naxos, Bora Bora or beautiful Lewis and Harris, indeed!

Wooooow!
What did he see?
BIIIIG WORDS for such a widely travelled young man!
What is it that “FASCINATED” our young Yankee friend so deeply in them windblown Malvinas Islands?
””What really made Sea Lion Island stand out to me were the giant ELEPHANT SEALS that hang out on the beaches.””…
and then he goes on... posting lots of pictures of them lardy ELEPHANT SEALS, a metal cross, some sleepy penguins, a couple of skuas eating a forgotten Pingo egg, a humble prefab lodge with a flagpole suffering a severe case of dwarfism and….. that was it.
Well…. Well….well…. Such a fuss for some ELEPHANT SEALS!
If this ”widely travelled young man” ever wants to see some more ELEPHANT SEALS hanging out on a beach he is welcome to visit “Mr. Think’s Top Secret American Elephant Seal Hideout” were one can watch thousands of them fat critters literally litter the beaches on a 24/7/365 basis…:

Did you mean that? Really, really mean it? If you did, I have to tell you that I understood perfectly. Please go out and top yourself. And remember, it's your idea!
@19 I do understand your comments. I really do. But you must remember that northern elephant seals are protected and tend to inhabit inaccessible areas. Southern elephant seals form the “government” of argieland.
@23 Don't stretch too far. Have you written it down? The word “mind” cannot be used in relation to scots. The word “bear” should also be used with caution as it implies picking something up and carrying it. No scot would consider doing such a thing until their claim for Disability Living Allowance, and related benefits, has been approved.
@27 Have pity. It's a scot.

Secondly…., the Big Sur coast of California, which I refer to in my comment No. (19) is anything but sunshine, warm seas and palm trees…. and it’s FULL of the same elephant seals that Young Yank Professional Travel Blogger Mr. Lee Abbamonte “seems” to be so fascinated about….
Thirdly…., Young Yank Professional Travel Blogger Mr. Lee Abbamonte’s “rules” for choosing his “favourite” spots are evidently heavily influenced by his sponsors & paying customers…
For example...: In his list over “The 30 Best Cities in the World” he says…:
”I preface my 30 best cities in the world with the following 2 rules:
- They have to be major cities i.e. a city like Florence, Italy does not qualify.”
For immediately after placing, as his No. 10 favourite, an ugly American town, roughly the size of Florence, Italy….

Quite a lot of the islands on the list were deforested by the locals and have never re-covered.
Think- well sleuthed- but hardly surprising - where else where would he have been likely to have got all the money to visit all those Islands - other than from their tourist promotion departments? Normal practise - inviting specialists in their field to visit all expenses paifd - and then hope they say something nice later(there is no surety about that though!) I have no doubt Chubut Tourism Dept does similar?

Good point, but we are not privy to the terms or amount, if any, of his sponsorship. At this point, it is pure speculation.
Does it not make sense also, that he is likely to have travelled to many many islands, before making a comparison, and as a self-funding travel blog, he would have approached each of them as well?
If his island ranking is consistent with his city or country ranking systems, as seen on his website, one cannot conclude there is favouritism.
In fact, he seems to be aware that his blog only has value to his readers and travel researchers if it is impartial.
Likewise, he makes it clear that his blog is merely an opinion piece - how much one traveller enjoyed his experience on one vs another.
We know where the “sheep dung” is. You are free to have your opinion also.

May 14th, 2014 - 09:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To answer your question. I will not move on because:-
1. I am not a Troll
2. When you give in to Trolls or Cyber Bullies then we have all lost.
This is (was) a site for discussion. It has become a child's playground.
As for you flippant comment on “reinforcing A-Voice. It appears you have a very short memory. If I have read all the comments correctly it is you and your ”gang“ preying like Wolves upon posters when only one you disagree with them.
The ”gang” So far:-
Troy Tempest
Ilsen
toooldtobeyoung
Captain Poppy
Can you count? I will help. Four. Four posters involved in absolutely childish Trolling and Bulling.
I want no part of it but like another poster said you need to be put in your place and challenged EVERY time.
Now, please go.
Funny, that's how many of us feel about you.
May 14th, 2014 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Keith dear, do try to calm down.

Who put you in charge of the playground anyway?
You pompous arse.
Are you going to “challenge” me every time I post something flippant? If so you need to get over to the Argentine Embassy BBQ thread. You have some catching up to do.
Keith,
May 15th, 2014 - 03:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Who the hell are you - saying such things ??
Oh, right, that really IS the crux of the issue, isn't it?
Your righteous indignation might be a little more believable if you weren't so partisan.
Your “gang”
- Voice
- Keith
- Paul
- Vestige
- Think
- DoD
- Dany
- Marcos
- José
- ...gosh, I'd list them all, but the whole bunch is probably no more than 3 individuals.
BTW,
You are Trolls
We are “counter-trolling”
We're flippant because we have lost respect for you, and nobody takes your charades seriously anymore.
“Rhetorical question” for Voicey:
Ever since the Referendum and Argentinas economic and political meltdown, what do you have left?
“The Trolls don't like being Trolled” One poster said.
May 15th, 2014 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0So by your logic (which has been called into question many times I see) we are counter-counter Trolls then?
Do not presume to know me.
Do not put me in any grouping with Marcos or Dany.
Yawn

Does that offend you or worry you?
ilsen is running rings around you, fool.
IIRC, it was YOU who immaturely, attempted to insult ilsen by calling into question his “manhood” and sexual preference.
ilsen played it up for you until you ranted and showed your true homophobe prejudices and intolerance.
You're no more than an ignorant 'tweenage hillbilly - not intellectually ready for the 1st World.
Thank you Troy.

I was going to mention Ploppy and his absence. Why is that? Like a coward in a fight, comes in arms flailing and then slinks out while others carry on? I have not been on the site long enough to see the different personalities yet. although ILL SON thinks I am an old poster.
Toy SEXPEST and mentally ILL Son
I will be serious for a second here.
YOU two are Trolls. A_Voice is correct in his assessment. You actually believe you are NOT.
You tried to bait me.
You used insults on me first.
you used sexuality as a weapon on me first.
A Troll by any definition.
If you want to do this then fine. That opens things up for me to return the favour.
You're rapidly increasing agitation and anger (dare I say hatred) shows that my tactic worked on both of you and it is in fact you two who have had rings run around them. You can't see that? Or you do see it and you think by claiming victory it makes it so for you? That is childish to say the least.
just for the record, of course I have no more hatred/prejudices or intolerance than the next man. But to expose the two of you for what you are then first I use your same verbal violence against you. I can use whatever means necessary. Especially when It is used on me FIRST.
“FIRST”.....remember that!
Ok, back to normal.
like true cowards Bully's eventually slink away into the darkness of their home or are doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again until someone exposes them for what they are.
My work here is done..........................................................................
I see both Troy and Ilsen and desperate to keep Trolling me.

Is that your superior intellect as you state above?

“Keith” Sock, cheerleader, you are already forgotten.
Mendacious Sock has demonstrated his intolerance, homophobia, prejudices, very clearly.
On the other hand, despite his accusations, he has failed to show where anyone else has attacked or insulted him for his sexual preferences or ethnicity.
So, how about them Islands ?
Anything to do with sexual preference?
Trolling anyone?

Dear Keith.
I am a 'gang-member' now? ROFL!
I am very respectable professional. One of the few who trade in Lat Am who refuses to be involved in corrupt practise. Makes life difficult, but ho hum. We all have our own beliefs.
Also, Headmaster Keith, you never actually post anything of relevance, do you? Just keep whining on about others. Also, now you are angry, your 'voice' is becomingly incrediably similar to poor liitle Mend My HomophobeRant. Surely you can do better?
RE: Mend My homophobia....
Ooooh! look at your big post! Are you insecure?
“Toy SEXPEST and mentally ILL Son

hahahahaha - gotcha! Like I would ever take you seriously.
Don't bother! You are only a joke to me!
I have never taken you seriously for a moment. To me you are just some light-hearted relief when if wish to tap in to my SmartPhone.
Do you have them yet?
I only 'troll' to expose racists, homophobes and misogynists*.
So... got you you on all counts.
Game over. You lose. The Modern World moves on. Shame you will be left behind.

Take a biscuit, and a lesson.
*Misogyny /mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/ is the hatred or dislike of women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women. Misogyny has been characterised as a prominent feature of the mythologies of the ANCIENT world as well as of various religions.
