So what about we do this, We relocate the Falklands and than provide financial compensation 50 years later ?

Good idea !!!


Well you can relocate them somewhere else, we already have a housing crisis as it is. Jokes aside, maybe you should learn to forgive and forget.

No you have shown me nothing...

Falklands is the closest inhabitable place to Antartica that is controlled by that Queen of yours

And so what? That doesn't improve Britain's claim at all.

No, there was one batch of compensation provided immediately but withheld by the Mauritian government for a couple of years. And there was a second batch provided about 15 years after the event and doled out by the Mauritian government over a period of a few years. But fact get in the way of your anti-British hatred don't they? ;)

People do know that Diego Garcia was uninhabited prior to the 18th century ?

And they do know whose military base it is, that was the cause of the people being moved from the island ?

Incidentally, you won't find too many British people in favor of the relocation.
Ignorant of it perhaps.

It's a relic of imperial thinking due to the cold war panic and dividing up all the military assets to defend the world from COMMUNISM!

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

That'd be awesome. In Brazil everybody confuses Malvinas and Maldivas. So in the Boxing Day tsunami event the news reported the Falklands were struck and everybody got worried with a tsunami that could be powerful enough to affect further north in the South American coast. :rofl:

Hell I wish I could find Conservative Morality's quote about old world blood feuding. This is essentially what this is, and the worse part is the grievances aren't even real. At least the issue between Ireland, and the UK over Northern Ireland has basis.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.
