Ah, I love the smell of desperation coming from Argentina. Every time they pull a stunt like this the smell becomes more pungent, and their desperation more obvious.
Argentina: Pathetic. Corrupt. Useless. Failing. Devolving. Finished.
How embarrassing. Grown men and women being forced to sing government propaganda songs. What's next, compulsory botox and personality glasses so the resemble their dear leaders?

Jun 18th, 2015 - 12:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The people of Goose Green were made prisoners in the hall, in the middle of Goose Green settlement, and used as “human shields”. There were 114 locked in the Hall for 30 days, without access to toilet facilities or proper food. They weren't allowed out, mainly because the RGs were using their houses as somewhere warm to sleep. The RGs used chests of drawers as toilets, didn't know they could use peat to keep warm. There was nothing dignified about the way they treated the inhabitants and if there was anybody being heroic at any time it would have been the locals, despite the fight the RGs put up when attacked by the Paras.

If they were used as human shields civilian fatalities would have been higher. The Argentinians killed no civilians directly. Those killed died due to misdirected British fire. Look at the Gaza Strip to see what damage an invading army using human shields can cause.

Argentina is supposed to be a democratic country since the fall of Junta some 30 years ago. But, is it really compatible with democracy to make it “mandatory” to sing certain songs. What will the penalty be if they do not sing? If an organisation should be started with the aim to work for a drop of the “Malvinas Claim”, do they also have to sing such songs at their meetings. The whole thing is getting more and more bizarre.

@17. Perhaps PDG0192 didn't clarify 'human shields' enough for you. Are you old enough to remember the Iraq War? The disgusting tv broadcasts showing Sod_him running his hands over British children. 'Human shields'. It is a breach of international law not to afford protection to civilians in a war zone. It is equally a breach of international law to place weapons systems amongst civilian properties. Both can be described as 'human shields'. Placing non-combatants to shield armed forces. Placing weapons systems where non-combatants could be injured/killed. Regrettably, a British warship thought its accuracy was good enough. But who can tell? Once a shell is in the air, it's subject to outside factors. Three Falkland Islands martyrs who died in the defence of their homes.

@25. Argieland isn't 'democratic'. It has a democratic facade. That's all. 'Democratic' elections where votes are bought and sold. 'Democratic' government where the 'leader' of the 'government' won't answer direct questions from the people. How many 'press conferences' have you seen where Kirchner answers questions? There was an occasion in the U.S. where she took questions 'from the floor'. She finished up insulting the questioner. And still didn't answer the question. Peronism is fascism/nazism. The cult of nationalism wedded to the cult of 'the leader'. How curious that the German word 'Fuhrer' is the same in spanish.

“Lilian Guitián, who proposed the law, said it showed the “importance of this subject in our society” and would be a good way of paying homage to the Argentine soldiers who gave their lives in the 1982 war with Britain over the Islands.”

Jun 18th, 2015 - 05:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, but Argentina are trying to replicate the shortcomings of Britain in the past-it's like saying the British colonised so it's our turn to use the same bullying tactics that the British ditched years ago.
It is true to say that while the Brits did some bad things in the past, we were not chucking thousands of unarmed people into the sea and gouging priests eyes out 30 years ago (note not over 70 years ago, just 30 years ago). So while Britain has learned from its mistakes and given colonies either independence or support and more autonomy, Argentina wishes to replicate the UK's previous imperial ambitions.
I have always called Argentina's Falkland obsession ridiculous, irrational, and I want no part in it. Part of an appalling education system which I also always flay and lambaste.

It was only when colonialist imperialists from France, Germany, Italy and spain turned up and pretended to be 'American' that the Indians had problems. Explain the difference with British Canada. British Canada didn't let the French, Germans, Italians and spanish in.

@36. How are Anglos a success? Argie GDP $953.029 billion. Australia GDP $1.137 trillion. Canada GDP $1.591 trillion. New Zealand GDP $164.965 billion. UK GDP $2.549 trillion. USA GDP $17.418 trillion. How many times wealthier than you are we? Conflicts and unrest around the world? What does argieland do? It hides. Being incompetent cowards, would argies ever volunteer to go where they might have to fight? Maybe they'd meet up with proper troops. Like the British. And get their arses kicked again. Perhaps they'd go forward. But only with a British bayonet in their spines.
Time for you to recognise that you are 10th class. You have no credibility, no integrity, no worth.
@37. Not really true. Would you like to compare what Britain did to what France, Germany, Italy, spain did? Just an example, spaniards used to take indigenous Amerindian people and either burn them or garotte them for not being Christian. How enlightened. The French were somewhat similar except that they used the guillotine. Germans and Italians have always been murderous. The Italians remember 'the arena'. The Germans think of sacrifice. What do argies 'like'? They don't like honesty, integrity, truth? What are the objections to 'extermination'?
When and where will it be “obligatory” to sing it? How will people get permission to stop singing it?

Yet instead of commenting on this story, regardless of whether you support the move or not, you DESPERATELY try to deflect the thread onto a COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT topic.
Why is that?
And why is it you ALWAYS comment on Falklands related threads even though you DON'T support Argentina's erroneous claims?
I remember that a few years back you stated that you wouldn't comment on any more Falklands related topics, and then less than 10 minutes AFTER posting that statement, there you were COMMENTING on Falklands related topics.
You see, Tobias, it's hard to take you seriously since you never stick to your word and you are constantly changing your name, often PRETENDING to be from some other country in order to try to show that the 'whole' world supports Argentina.
In short you're pathetic just like this stupid law, and just like Argentina's imperialist colonial ambitions of empire.
Take a deep breath in Tobias. That smell is the desperation of Argentina, a country that is devolving into a cesspit.

SIEG HEIL!
“For absent, for defeated”
I take it this means 'we lost.'
“And facing the sun of our emblem

The smiley emoticon is victorious? Lol-You lost!“
”Who's talking us here of neglect“
Obviously you've forgotten the absence of protests from 1888 to 1942!
”The Argentinian Malvinas
Under an already immortal dominion,”
That suggests by 'immortal dominion' i.e (the Falkland Islanders owning it forever)you are not expecting to own the Islands, ever-unless a Malvanista can translate this jibber-jabber (and that's just the English version), to make it appear to mean something else.
“ And facing the sun of our emblem”-Without sunglasses,we are blinded to the historic facts, because Argentine history is made from Bullshit on the hoof?
Wear sunglasses amigos, when staring at the sun.
“For honor to our emblem,

Translated=we continue to stick our heads up our arses.

“Under an already immortal dominion,”=Under Falkland Islander control.
The Demalvinazation of Argentina seems to a tougher process than the Denazification of Germany after WWII. And they have to do it by themselves. But they are going the opposite way. Tragic,

The group of traitors is busy conducting the above-said false propaganda in a bid to divert elsewhere the people and the world public's bitter criticism of it.
In the grip of extreme fear and uneasiness, the regime is working hard to whip media and riff-raffs toward total confrontation with the Argentine people a foolish act of jumping into fire with a no desire to save the illegal vermin still nesting in our sacred lands. Let the dogs off hell feast on their flesh!
The Argentine government had already made a solemn declaration that those who hurt the dignity of its supreme leadership and drive South Atlantic regional relations into the worst catastrophe would be the primary target of its punishment.
They include the Malvinas illegal squatters whom will pay the ultimate penalty for their evil betrayal of the Argentine fatherland.
Do they make the children wear 'Brown Shirts' and goose step in unison while they sing this?
Jun 21st, 2015 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ACTUAL lyrics of the `malvinas march´ are the ones which were posted by Gordo at @68. I am afraid that Chicureo´s translation at @ 52 is inaccurate.
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0That `march´ used to be pretty common back in my school days during the 80s, but only for a few days surrounding April 2nd. We usually had a brief school act, and some school activities such as drawing the island´s map and coloring them with blue and withe.
Back in the 90s, when I was at high school, it was pretty much the same, except we replaced the coloring activities for `discussions´ about the islands history. And by the island´s history I mean the Argentinian side of the history only.
During my university years I had some classes about international law. And of course the `malvinas case´was there. Always, always through the Argentinian point of view only, which is pretty sad and poor considering I was in a place where open discussion should be the rule.
Nowadays, the K´s complex of re-writting history keeps fueling wrong concepts and promoting biased debates where only one side has a say.

Jun 22nd, 2015 - 05:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just out of curiosity, were you taught anything about the Islands themselves (i.e. wildlife, physical Island geography, plant life) etc?
Only, many Argentines posting here don't seem to know much detail about what is actually on the Islands, and I would have thought if they claimed them, they would want to know.
@75 Pete,
Jun 23rd, 2015 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes: climate, geography, weather, etc. But only as vague references during the one or two days we talk about them at school. They were mostly described as a pretty cold place.
Never a single word about those who were living there, though.

Jun 23rd, 2015 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They dont seem to know much about the Pueblos Originarios, Campaign and Conquest of the Deserts or The Triple Alliance War either.
@77 Tobers,
Jun 23rd, 2015 - 09:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0l read somewhere that when the Argentines landed in 1982, they were surprised that the population didn't speak Spanish & didn't greet them as liberators.
You are right. They don't know much about the Falklands.
Only, when reference is made to plant names that are common knowledge, there seems to a stunned silence ( as indeed there is after any reference to anything in the Islands).

“They were mostly described as a pretty cold place.”
Would it surprise you to know that whilst it can be cool, there are actually very hot days sometimes because the sun is so fierce?
I mean how can a place be in your heart if you know or care jack squit about what is actually there?

Jun 25th, 2015 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0-Interesting. I´ve heard that weather changes quite a lot even during the same day down there. Also, that they are not as cold as they are usually described.
-Those islands are not ` in my heart´, btw. I care about the topic because it sadly involves the country where I live now, although I wish it was way out of our national agenda once for all.
To be 100% honest with you, I don´t think I would even consider them for a trip.
@ 77 Tobers:
Frankly, I don´t care. By the time my grand-grandparents came to live here from Europe, there were no `pueblos originarios´at all. I have zero links with them, and I don´t feel bad nor ashamed for that, just like the average US guy does not feel bad for what happened with their natives. It´s past history. Nobody says it was good, but it´s simply past. I don´t see how spinning around may be helpful at all.
All I am going to say is that I wish that those surviving natives could reach a decent level of life, rather than the misery they face now, not to mention how they are used by certain politicians who declare love for them but do nothing to help.
As for the triple alliance war: Again, past history. Argentina was invaded by Paraguay, and they paid the price. Back in those years Arg was not the sorry-ass country it is now. Arg saw an advantage and took it, just like every single country out there did in the XIX century. The current `shame´ for that victory was fueled by Peron, who wanted to have a good relationship with a paraguayan dictator.
Had the war of the triple alliance being won by Chile, they would have turned it into a national celebration, as they do with the pacific war. No regrets, but with a constructive vision of future.
just my two cents, of course.

Hardly. Chile was not involved.

Jun 25th, 2015 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Im not saying Argentines should feel bad for the treatment of Pueblos Originarios in the days of formation of the country. Actually man going to new lands and dominating colonising other men is pretty much THE history of humanity.
The problem is ARgentine nationalists obsessing and crying over las malvinas when all of their justifications for claiming the Islands are blown clear out of the water when looking at the real and perfectly obvious history of their own country. But they dont many thanks to Peron's revisionism and the 'relato'. Argentine nationalists want to believe that San MArtin And Belgrano et al were men 2 and half metres tall at the shoulders who gave the nasty spanish a deserved beating sending them packing after which the country was magically and instantaneously formed into a happy rainbow nation.

Jun 26th, 2015 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Spot on, Tobers.
As you properly point, it´s a mixture of silly nationalism and lack of education what keeps this `malvinas´bed-time story alive down here.
