    oooh! Guatemala !!
    That'll clinch the deal then...

    arf!

    Looks like Feel-Me is getting a tad deperate with his non-sensical 'claims'.

    S0, now ' international support ' means more than one tin-pot banana republic tentatively supports a call for dialogue?

    Great achievement eh? Senor Filmus?

    Nothing has changed.

    You would have thought route one would be better if they actually want to achieve their ambition of colonising the Falklands-i.e. the ICJ.

    Also Filmus should aim to dismantle the aims and objectives of the United Nations Charter to revoke self determination-good luck with that one(heh heh).

    And if you want to achieve dialogue with the UK why not ask for it?

    However the islanders have to be present, as you cannot bypass the people born on the Falkland Islands.

    I'm sure that the new peso note showing Rivero should sway the ICJ......

    And when that has failed, watch out MPA because Guatemalan forces will be joining their Argentine comrades to attack you.

    @13 Paulie, there's a world of difference between saying that they are showing “support of the legitimate rights of Argentina” and actually saying that they support Argentina annexing the Falkland Islands against the wishes of the people who have lived there peacefully for generations.

    I'm unaware of any system where occupying your neighbours against their will is regarded as “legitimate”.

    paulcedron - You really are a complete and utter wanker.

    Must be rather upsetting if not embarrassing to have to use another countries language, eh? A European language at that. I try to put myself in your situation and imagine myself in the UK having to speak Chinese because we have no language of our own and yeah, not nice. No doubt if that was the case, I'd be an ignorant little wanker like you too. Luckily for me, I wasn't born or raised in Argentina.

    The only support Argentina needs is from the ICJ. Unfortunately, you'll never obtain it. We know that, I suspect even you know that and therefore, nothing is likely to change. The Falklands will remain in control of the islanders and you'll remain an angry little Wanker.

    Nothing you do or say is going to change that. Unlucky.

    @13 Paul

    “ el salvador will not support argentina,”

    Support from El Salvador is about as much use as a fart in a hurricane.

    If Argentina wants the Falklands rather than using it as an excuse to deflect from its lamentable performance this is the easy way:

    1/-Convince the Falkland islanders that Argentina is a great country to belong to, and that if the Islands join Argentina they can have a CT scanner for each islander. Perhaps one of the FEW Argentines that has actually achieved something, like Lionel Messi, could be sent as governor?

    2/-Go to the ICJ with evidence (and El Salvador holding your hand) instead of using Argentine bullshit.

    3/- Get El Salvador to help you invade the Islands-I'm sure our boys will shit their pants when they hear troops from El Salvador are coming, (but don't forget to pack white y fronts-they'll double up as white flags if you keep them clean, just in case our boys decide to fight back).

So if it is true where is the document, point me to it as I can't find it any where, I can though, point you to a UNSC document that says the Argentine invasion of the Falklands is illegal because they don't own it or have sovereignty of it. You invaded another countries sovereign territory. An illegal act and noted by the UNSC, officially, in writing and legally binding .

    So you give your worthless, brainwashed, racist opinions, which you think makes you intellectually superior and worldly wise, while we provide simple facts that highlight your falsifications and puerile ramblings as nothing more that adolescent emotional incontinence.

    lets see if you can understand, at least 1 (ONE) concept, you dear inhabitants of the islets:

    Población total de América del Sur: 414.325.000
    European languages:
    1 SPANISH: 203 773 447
    2 Portuguese: 201 032 714
    3 english: 800 000

    Now lets see what happens in the whole America:
    1 SPANISH: +/- 387.000.000

    But the best part is that anyone who speaks spanish, french, italian, portuguese or any other neo-latin language, can communicate with each other, even without having learnt the other idiom.

    That´s the advantage of the most advanced languages, those which derived directly from Latin.

    On the other hand you have the 2nd group, the nordic languages, like German, Dutch, Scandinavians, etc.

    And in a third place, those third class languages (english) which have stolen some words from latin, french, spanish, german, etc.

    English is probably the poorest idiom on earth.
    What else can you expect from a dialect?

ANd sorry, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian may well be able to have a basic understanding of simple written texts, but I can tell you first hand that even the Spanish and Portuguese have difficulty in understanding each other when speaking rather than writing. My mother in law (Spanish) has real trouble understanding the Portuguese news readers when she visits, she follows by reading the sub titles on the bottom of the screen.

    “try to imagine this: you have a house and a group of squatters decide to invade it”

    In 1833 the Brits did not evict the owners of the houses at Port Louis -22 decided to stay mostly of South American origin-note very carefully-they didn't want to go back to the United Provinces-they were given the choice.

    I don't blame them-they knew in future generations they would be better off as Falkland Islanders under a stable British administration rather than returning to a dysfunctional clusterfuck.

    How can you squat when you don't evict the people already living at Port Louis?

    You would have to chuck the people out of their houses and the Brits didn't-they chucked out the murderers who killed Mestivier(not the settlers)-and 10 'soldiers'got the firing squad after they got home-from the BA government.

    And as the Sarandi that was sent away was crewed by a majority of British born sailors, then the Brits sent more British people packing than they did South Americans.

    If you stop breathing in all that tyre smoke and drinking that Malbec poisoned with pesticides (bleeeuurrrggghhh, vomit, puke,barf) you might be able to research history properly-no South American people were displaced from their houses in Port Louis in 1833 plus no British Sailors were left behind by HMS Clio and HMS Tyne-so = no squatters-this is why you won't go to the ICJ-because Bullshit won't win you anything except Mr Jack Shit.

    To whom may be interested - “The whole Spanish speaking world, even the chilotes, love the way we speak Castellano.” is a totally untrue statement. El mamarracho is just spouting bull shite!(viz paulcedron)
    For example, can a Mexican or a Spaniard understand what “nafta” is? Do they know what a “choripan” is? Of course not, the “Y” and the “LL” are pronounced in totallly different ways. The language spoken in Argentina is a bastardised version of Castellano and only arrogant bastards like paulcedron can possibly claim that Argentinos speak with a “an elegant accent” - what a joke!

    Maybe the fat is clogging that little brain you have in that fat head?

    Have you ever heard of localisms in language?
    Surely not.

    With the same criteria, you can ask if an Argentinian can understand a Mexican when they say chavo, menso, aparruchar, apapachar, and some other strange words they use.

    And the answer, you fart-blower, is yes, they can understand each other.

    Actually Bogotano is considered one of the clearest and purest forms of Spanish in Latin America.

    It is definitely not porteño, which indeed sounds Italian to English speakers. And is probably why every single Spanish-speaking non-Argentine Latin American I have met makes fun of it.

    Either way. The Falkland Islanders have chosen to continue to use the global lingua franca of English as their national language.

    As education levels rise in Latin America, there will be even more English speakers.

    “With the same criteria, you can ask if an Argentinian can understand a Mexican when they say chavo, menso, aparruchar, apapachar, and some other strange words they use”

    I believe that the “mexican” words you cite have their origin in the languages spoken by the indigenous peoples of mesoamerica. Whereas, as you lot embarked upon an official mission of genocide and relegated your indigenous peoples to non-persons, the only contribution to your odd “lingo” came from from the enormous contribution made by the Italian immigrants.

    Well yes, the bens don't need to go to the ICJ because they are happy with the status they have-but Argentina isn't happy so it's up to the Argentines to go to the ICJ, unless they don't have a credible case?

    “the question is that you, 3rd class plebs, do not have the right to assist to any meeting with a foreign country.”

    They do indeed have that right-if they don't who's going to arrest them then?
    The Islanders have their own democratically elected government, and most were born in the Islands so they do have the right of self representation.

    It is not for Argentina to deny them that right, unless they chose to by force -how did that work out for you last time in 1982 chey?

    The Governor no longer has a vote on Falkland Islands law but the FIG MLAs who are voted into FIG by the Islanders do, that = democracy.

    You are not intelligent enough to note the difference, therefore any building you designed would collapse because you would pile bricks on top of each other without adding mortar, as evidenced by your simplistic notions of how the Falkland Islands are governed, and your limited knowledge of the events of 1833.

On his return to parliament he devoted special attention to the condition of the colonies, and was the ardent champion of their self-government. In January 1853, Lord Aberdeen included him as the only Radical in his coalition cabinet as First Commissioner of Works, the chief work by which his name was brought into prominence at this time being the construction of the new Westminster Bridge; he also was the first to open Kew Gardens on Sundays. In July 1855, he was made Colonial Secretary, an office he held until his death in October of the same year.” THE SOURCE OF YOUR INFORMATION IS CLEARLY NOT CORRECT.

    There are only 2 other avenues open to you.

    @97 What will you now do..?

    To wait until the U.K. yields to the opinion of the U.S. government, and the vast majority of the World´s ones, to accept conversations on the matter of the Islands´ sovereignty. I have reminded you on more than one occasion that not so subtle a change has been experienced by U.S. diplomacy on this matter: they recognize, certainly , UK “de facto” domain on the Islands; but no longer “de jure” one. If I were wrong, Mr.OBAMA and Mrs. CLINTON could not have openly recommended this course of action to both countries. Please, remember the explosion of wrath in the U.K. when Mrs. CLINTON statements were known. The main fact remains unaccepted: Colonialism days are gone.This does NOT exclude self- determination on a local (and certainly wide) basis. I, for example, believe that FIG must continue for a long time. Once assured SOVEREIGNTY on land, sea, and air, all the rest (private property, nationality, language, culture, education, religion (or lack of it) will not be unsurmountable obstacles. Deep-sea oil wells could be...save for the example (too eloquent) of very recent market extorsions. Please, forgive my “ritornello” on the Welsh settlement.

    The UK can rely on at least six-planks of international law and three Anglo-Spanish treaties, that support irrefutably her right of sovereignty, while legally Argentine is now barred from even submitting a claim to the ICJ or the PCA. Moreover, there is not one aspect of international law that supports an Argentine claim. The UK therefor is the only legal holder of sovereignty, and there is no legal power on earth to change that reality. So it doesn't matter a jot what any other countries opinion is, or what they recommend. As they are prevented under international law from any interference in the UK's internal affairs.

    @99 Hepatia:
    Can't return what wasn't yours to begin with.

    @100 Argfellow:
    The “vast majority of the world” is not, in fact, calling for conversations on sovereignty. There are UN resolutions calling for talks to peaceably resolve the dispute, taking into account the interests of the legitimate inhabitants of the Falklands.

    The UK has no objection to such talks. It was in fact, Argentina's representative who refused to talk when people from the Falklands arrived to represent their interests, as the UN Resolutions *require* be taken into account.

    Argentina does not appear to want to even negotiate in good faith, demanding that regardless of facts or issues, the outcome of negotiation is that they be given sovereignty.

    There are two ways Argentina can resolve this issue in a fair and equitable manner. The first is to take the dispute to the ICJ, which if the facts are in their favour, would solve the dispute along those lines also. Of course, we all know that the facts do *not* support their claim, so no ICJ.

    The quickest and easiest of course, would be for Argentina to acknowledge their claim as false and withdraw it. No fake claim, no dispute.

    The main problem as I see it is that Argentina is stuck in a Sunk Costs Fallacy.

    Successive Argentine governments have spent decades and billions in currency perpetuating what is known here as the “Malvinas Lie”. Schools teaching the lie of usurpation in 1833, the current banknotes, the Olympics ad and the banner that FIFA rightly took action over. Heck, even the 1982 attempted invasion and subjugation stems directly from the Lie.

    Argentina's spent so much on this dispute they invented, that they believe taking steps towards a fair resolution would mean they had wasted time, money and even lives for islands that were never theirs.

    Of course, that *is* what they've done. I daresay that we would be able to have productive discussion if you negotiated in good faith, with no unreasonable preconditions like you do now.
