Recent statements by representatives from Argentina's intellectual elite referred to the Falklands being a British territory and belonging to the Kelpers, and that Argentina did not exist as such at the time, are still reverberating, but the country is holding primaries and elections next month and in November so some political amendments seem necessary.

    Potts, sadly it is YOU who suffers from the delusion condition so many Anglos and Anglo Americans do of reducing all argumentative scopes about countries they have black listed to a mere caricature of subjection devoid of real people, devoid of honorable history, and devoid real worth, unrequiring of respect and humble learning, no matter what happens in them, what happens to them, or what they do, yet finding it as easy to mock or insolently offend as sitcoms would find funny the ridiculing of its characters. This truly puts your country, the US and other hubrisly ill social classes in some other nearby nations in a category of their own and very different to the normalcy of the rest of the countries of the world, which naturally are inclined to regard other nations as equals deserving of the only respect they understand a nation must be given. But Britain has never been too possessing of this noble mentality, has it?. Otherwise it never would have presumed the world, but more importantly never tried so hard to not abandon its self centered conquests by transforming their systems and names into ones that camouflage its intents to fit the moral progress of the day. One can see it in all its TV medias and shows specially in 70, 80' and 90's how it is always and constantly looking to categorize with criticisms others, like second nature. Very Anglo, and very not the rest of the world. This reflects entirely how your society's governments engage nations of the world, though they are endowed with the same exact right entirely to share this world and be on it as much as your insufferable culture is, as much as it pains me to admit it, all of it very much describing your thinking your reasoning language and your language when saying anything about Argentina, or its dispute with your country over the Malvinas Islands.

    “thinking differently is not a crime in Argentina”. Not yet, perhaps. But the first step is probably soon taken. Dissident candidates could be prohibited from running for an elected office. Some people apparently do not want an open debate about this issue.
