Ok, to clear this issue up, would you mind explaining what you meant by this:

I think the clear solution here is to pretend to make the Falklands a wholly independent state, but have it secretly stay British and sneak the population pictures of the Queen under cover of darkness once a month.

The put down would have been better if you put "always" before "win".

But good job nonetheless.

thought I had replied to this. Puricelli considers contential argentina to be de facto argentinian territory and argentinia plus falklands to be legally argentinan territory.

No one is stopping them from protesting... We're just ridiculing them over their protest which seeks to deny the rights of others to legal self-determination.
Such heroic nonsense!

Who should own the Falkland Islands. Argentina wants them, Britain and the Islanders don't agree.

The UN said we have to solve this peacefully with dialogue, which I think is diplomatic code for telling Argentina to fuck off because the UN won't do anything.

And the BBC article as well.


of far more concern than any other story to date is the american statement on the issue. by far the biggest threat to the falklands is hillary clinton or her successor deciding that the friendship of latin america is worth more than that of GB. the US taking a side in this has the potential to do far more damage than anything argentina can do.

Maybe we should consult some of the things that the people at Speaker's Square have said about America when making our decision :D
The Burgundy Plains is a kingdom that is client to the Security Syndicate of the Black Plains, to whom it owes a great deal of money. If someone would be willing to RP a liberation of the Burgundy Plains, that would be awesome :D. TG The Burgundy Plains or The Black Plains (obviously this is a puppet). The Burgundy Plains rp's with a population of two-hundred million.

Urgh, I have a new pet hate. It's up there with the use of "banter" as a codeword for being an evil head in the dark ages cock.

This new pet hate is denoting anything you disagree with as "trolling". Trolling is being an ass for being an ass's sake. Yes it's become a "popular" (social synonym for stupid and overrated by the idiot masses) meme, but not everyone you disagree with is a troll. Even someone who uses sarcasm isn't necessarily a troll. Some people do things for a reaction, but not all sarcastic remarks are trolling. A one off comment isn't enough to justify trolling, as trolls are usually persistent assholes.

Furthermore, even persistence isn't evidence enough of trolling. Genuinely stupid people often have the same vigour and belief that trolls have, yet trolls are usually worse in that they know better and do worse, whilst idiots are genuinely stupid and whilst a disgrace to humanity, don't go out of their way to act in that way, it's just their "nature" or rather a distorted form of "nurture" (or lack thereof).

Personally even as a British person I found the poster's comment hilarious social satire.
