  1. We didn't steal them (go buy a history book).

    So no, you can't have them back.


  2. The Falkland Island's population who's ancestors have been living on the island since the 1830's and 1840's consider themselves aligned to Britain.

    For nearly 200 years they have colonised the hostile environment, which very few would be willing to live in.  The Islanders asserted their wish to remain British, pointing out that their history, language and way of life was bound up with Britain.

    If Argentine were to exert control of the Islands it would create a colony, in direct contravention of the efforts of the United Nations to end colonisation.

    Surely the people who live in a country and have done so for hundreds of years have the right to determine their nationality and sovereignty.

    The Argentine claim to the Falklands rests on the papal bull of 1493 as modified by the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas, by which Spain and Portugal had divided the New World.  This document cannot seriously be considered as still legal in today's world or which country will be claiming jurisdiction over the United States.

  3. Do you remember 1982? We do.. We remember the treatment of the Islanders too.. If you really are silly enough to try again we can arrange another lesson if you need it...

  4. You are the only one trying to steal anything.  Hands off.

  5. No.

  6. When the British people settled in the Falkland Islands it was unoccupied. When the Spanish people occupied what is now Argentina it was already occupied by a variety of Indian tribal peoples who they slaughtered.

    Does this practise of genocide give them the right to claim the Falklands. I think not.

    If the Argentines were honest about their claim to want to end colonialism, they would have to remove all people of Spanish origin from Argentina and give the land back to the few Indians who have survived

  7. Sure?

    Decode this lyrics " Fernando"

    Was it before or after world war two?

    Luke 9.25,55-56,60

    Luke 21.30-33

    Exodus 20. 1-3

    Leviticus 26.13

    John 8.44

    Matt 22.32

    What do you think?

  8. Me & the mates didn't yomp to Port Stanley and bury three lads to give the Falklands back.

    You want it, try and take it - again.

  9. I'm sure that if you ask Gordon Brown to give them to you he will say"no". Then he will say "yes" . Then he will say"Why don't all you Argentinians come and live in Britain, then there will be no need to give them back"
