The kelpers want to belong to GB and GB is another country so they should leave, i am an european descendant but i was born here so i´m not implanted, i am an european descendant like kelpers, the problem is that they want to be british then leave. 56% of the people born here have also amerindian blood, and it´s is increasing because of the immigration so the mayority of the argentinian are amerindian descendants too.
wyterabitt Says:
Argentina is an implanted population, and according to argentina an implanted population doesn't get to choose to be independent and this should be even more true if the land actually had people there first (the Falklands never before Britain first got there). Either the natives get their land back and all argentinians go back to their own countries, or they accept the native populations control and stay under their sovereignty.

kelpers = racism term used by the espanics
alundra828 Says:
All the citizens there voted to not become independant, and then voted to SPECIFICALLY be British. They are and always HAVE been owned by Britain. Britain claimed the uninhabited Island waaaay back in the 1830's. Britain has invested billions in the falklands, and developed the land there. And the Argies claim to it? Because it's kind of close to Argentina. I don't think you understand how territory works Argentina. But it's to be expected of your bad education systems.
gabyger Says:
If United Nations exits, this international entity has to rule. It's not fear on the Century XXI , we still looking colonialism. This is uneceptable. It has to be a mediation and whatever all the Nations rule by votation, we will respect that. Respect to self determination that is a big lie, because if you plant people like Gibraltar, the native there wants to belong be brittish, so we can't stand up with that. We have to be realistic and negociate both parts or in this case the UN rules. Thanks
wyterabitt Says:
No we didn't, read some books. We invaded a Spanish colony, Spain being an enemy at the time. We couldn't have cared less about "Argentina" and would never have stayed unless they wanted. And it was our attacks on this Spanish colony that actually helped Argentina become independent - after that we had no interest and never made ANY attempt to attack, threaten or invade Argentina - take you lies and revisionist history somewhere else.
wyterabitt Says:
Like every other country on the planet - except those too weak who would have done as well without a second thought had they been able to. And considering what pirates actually are by definition, that means none of them including Britain were "pirates" (buy a dictionary). It is just the petty moaning of countries that were weak back then, who now want sympathy using modern stadards (that they have Britain to thank for having) to judge a past world. It's time to grow up.
gerajmar Says:
The important thing is that we are an independent country, we are not a colonie of Spain since a lot of time, colonies should not longer exist.
slatanbonage Says:
Piratas ingleses (X_O)...
ratalino73 Says:
MALVINAS ARGENTINAS!!! ACATEN RESOLUSIONES DE ONU!! RES.2065 DEJEN DE COLONIZAR EL MUNDO DAN ASCO!!!
uafchris Says:
And Argentina was taken by conquistadors from the natives
gerajmar Says:
Yes, you are pirates, you are very well known for that.
gerajmar Says:
They were taken by PIRATES, you should not legitimate that, and you don´t know anything about Argentine history, but i know that you also want to colonize Argentina during the English invasions, you lost that battle, if not we would be another british colony. And we were weak to recover those islands but you know that you recieved help from USA, Chile, a bit help from Brazil and Uruguay, only Perú helped us and we make a mistake to send not experience18 years old boys too.
johnnyfknbee Says:
Let's face it no British government could afford to loose the Falklands
wyterabitt Says:
I do know Argentine history, and a lot more British history than the laughable propoganda you know. Of course the Islands are ours, there is no other claim. How did we take something from a country that did not exist and was claimed by no one when we first got there? We took it from no one, it was ours. Argentina was too weak to take it from us both back when it was a legitimate way of doing things and in modern times as well. Their attempt at colonialism failed, and will continue to do so.
wyterabitt Says:
Pirates? The entire planet was the same, everyone can't be pirates (Argentinians stole land and murdered the natives). It would be like calling cave men "murderers" based on modern ideas, they are clearly not. Back then you were strong enough to conquer or you were conquered, end of story. Britain, however, then went on to modernise the world. From the industrial revolution, to abolishing slavery from the world, to modernising law, medicine and infrastructures in countries across the planet.
FunnyVideoCollector Says:
Argentina was stolen from native south americans ask yourselves why they speak spanish and not South American. When the Uk first invaded the Falklands nobody lived there no natives were murdered The Uk put their own flag and claim there without taking down anyone elses flag.
gerajmar Says:
You don´t know argentinian history nor latin américa so you can´t put that as an example, and those countries dont´belong to any pirate country like Great Britain and nobody took it from us as you did with Malvinas. Why is yours? and your pirates rightly asked them to leave? i dont´ think so, read some of your pirate history,pirates´ve never been right to no one, you destroyed many places and cultures in your history and segregate people too.
5505miller Says:
And we don't give a damn about the Falklands people? We spend billions of pounds on them every year and we have a health service and education system most countries would kill for. Geopolitical reasons? Is this another one of your deluded presidents reasons used to turn the cameras away from how utterly shit her government are doing in power? Its laughable. We found oil? So what? We offered to share the profits with you but your presidents an idiot, but hell, we aren't complaining. Idiots.
5505miller Says:
Once again your argument makes no sense. The islands have never been Argentinian and were uninhabited before you even got your independence from Spain? If your going off that argument then what would happen in the Gaza strip? What if Argentine ancestors wanted their land back for Spanish colonial ancestors? Where do you go? Its a deluded point of view. Argentina talk about the 21st century as if the UK are medieval colonialism terrorists, your country is a joke, even the UN wont listen to you.
wyterabitt Says:
So are the countries next to Argentina, so do they own Argentina or does Argentina own them? It must be one according to this equally ridiculous argument. And you still ignore the fact that just because they were there briefly does not mean anything, it wasn't theirs to be living on and hadn't been since long before Argentina existed. So they were rightly asked to leave, and did (no violence of any kind)
gerajmar Says:
It belong to us because of geographical reasons too, they are in our platform (not only because you expelled the people living there in1833)
gerajmar Says:
Why? i mean because this usurpers want to be british? like i have told to another british here: then they should go to Great Britain.. what would you do if a group of argentinians emigrate to GB and decide to autodeterminate? you wouldn´t like to happen this in your land? would you?
5505miller Says:
These polls which you suggest mean that 56% of British people would give the Falklands back are misleading. It's not like they hold a referendum to see what the British people think, they make an internet pool in which a couple of hundred people might make a vote.The islands are British until the people decide otherwise. END OF. And colonization? Maybe 200 years ago? Its a bit late for that argument. Just because your president needs to off load pressure onto the Falklands. Do you want a war?
