    Difference is; while what I said has massive global backing and factualness, what you said ... specifies no one as any different to any other person or, any other country.

    You're crazy. We have lots of “hard evidence”, our administration and possession of Malvinas is no “fairy story”. We may not be able to brainwash the planet using our language the way you and the United States do, but we have plenty of “hard evidence and facts” establishing our history regarding the Malvinas Islands. You simply ignore it because you are completely consumed by your country's lying nationalistic indoctrination regarding the reality other countries of the world, which raises you suckers to believe you are either right about everything or have an “understandable reason” for all the evil shit you did! LOL. Get lost!! Go look for another country to rape and lie to so you can keep their stuff.

    You do manage to brainwash most of your own population.

    If you had any “hard evidence” you would have presented it by now, or haven’t you finished making it yet?

    You’re not going to be allowed to steal and rape the British territories of the S. Atlantic/Antarctic, the way you did S. America.

    You see unlike Atahualpa or the Mapuche, the British have more than just sticks and stones with which to defend their territory from thieving, Creole Conquistador, Planter Bastards, trying to “implant” themselves in our territory.

    @ “Trimonde”, Proximity to the Islands does NOT mean You get to Claim them !! go check with the UN ! if that was the case every Country that has a Border with a neighbouring would be claiming part of that Country as there own! So that has Wiped out your were close to the “Falklands”, Argument !
    Next the We inherited the Spanish Claim on the Falklands, well in the early 1830`s Spain was still claiming the Islands when Argentina tried to “USURP”, them ! Plus there was No date relevant Treaty Signed between Argentina & Spain giving Argentina the right to Spanish territory in the Americas. He SHOOTS and He Scores the Game is over and We lift the Trophy to the Heavens.

    Britain claimed the Falklands in 1690 long before Argentina existed,

    @ Roger, I stand corrected, if the planters of Argentina are so brainwashed that they think the Falklands are theirs then why no go to the ICJ,

    Judge- They don't fancy the IJC as they are pretty sure they would loose!
    Trimonde- please can you list at least a few of these cases you have of where the islands are being robbed by a “colonial power”?
    1833 again- don't forget those at Pot Lous had all agreed to abandon and head
    back to Buenos Aires after murdering their first leader- it was purely by chance that 2-3 days before they were due to leave(having booked space on a small British ship- that the Sarandi returned to Port Louis after an extensive cruise around the Islands and took control again.
    Had she been a few days later the Sarandi and her Captain would have found a deserted Port Louis all abandoned. Those settlers wanted to get out!
    It was only after the British arrived and they-the civilians- received the support of Capt Onslow, Royal Navy, that the great majority then did indeed volunteer to stay and accept British rule, with only 2 couples choosing to leave of their own free will.

    It seems that it is not only the British peoples of the S. Atlantic/Antarctic who regard you as thieving, murdering, Creole Conquistador, Planter Bastards.

    Arm the Natives, one thieving, murdering, Creole Conquistador, Planter Bastard, one bullet.

    And everyone down here would be better off for you lot, NOT being here.
