Another Falklands Thread: This Time, It'll Cost 50 Pesos

[Brillnuck]

You got called a naughty name by some bottom feeder and now you're an expert on this country and everything here? I think you'll find we're waaaay more complex than that.

I know what they did to me, you have no right to comment on it, I actually thank them for opening my eyes anyways this is not about me, it is about the British trying to do what they always, take over land which is not theirs

I say this as a British-Indian, but why the hate for British people? Not every British person is rude and racist. Everyone can be rude and racist and everyone can be nice and tolerant. Sure, they had an empire and terrorised people, but we regret that. There are many other countries who've been imperialist and have done worse things you know.

[Constaniana]

Also, Doctor Who is a documentary about MI6 agents travelling the cosmos to illegally implant British populations everywhere. The Daleks are just righteous anti-imperialists.

Ah, so that's what happened.
We merely pretended to stop being Imperialist. In truth, we began an imperialistic campaign against the space-time continuum itself.

Notice how the main character is a Time Lord, a.k.a a peerage bestowed by the Crown? He even meets Queen Victoria and Elizabeth! Clear evidence of his pro-British Empire leanings!

The Monroe Doctrine was designed to defend democracy in the Americas against Monarchistic europeans.
It would be a betrayal of the doctrine to back a Fascistic governments invasion of a Democracy.

And? I'd rather recognize the fascist's legitimate claim than back an evil and imperialistic democracy.

Funny thing is, the fascists were the evil imperialistic ones (quite a surprise there, eh?), while the democracy had the legitimate claim.

[Imperialpowersofkorea]

Because it's patently ridiculous
Britain isn't the same country as it used to be.
We've given up all that christian crusading missionary mallarchy. And the white mans burden.
Now we're obsessed with capitalism or social justice, depending on your temperament. Even our revisionism of the empire takes that into account.
We don't get all broo-ha-ha about invading places and killing people. Makes us uncomfortable.
We wistfully talk about banning slavery, and expanding democracy, creating trade and business, and such.

And we can do all that stuff without the red coats.

Give independence to Canada - ok, that's fine
Give independence to India - ok that's also fine
Give independence to Australia - sure, whatever
Give up the falklands to Argentina - http://i.imgur.com/WtlXZX6.jpg

It was not fine, I lost family for it, they don't walk out, you need throw them out

[The Confederacy of Nationalism]

I still stand by my belief that the United States was obligated to aid Argentina in the Falklands War under the Monroe Doctrine. It's disappointing that to this day Argentina still does not control the falklands.

Because America supporting a bankrupt nation with little to no importance is worth active opposition of not just a nuclear nation but Americas longest standing Allie, destroying the founding principle of NATO in the process.

No offense to anyone, but America does have a history of overthrowing Democratically elected regimes and replacing them with pro American dictators.

Don't bullshit, France is America's longest-standing ally, they've been our ally since day one. I'd also like to note that the first two letters of NATO stand for "NORTH ATLANTIC", and also that the falklands aren't in the north atlantic, nor is Argentina, so this does not concern NATO. Besides, you know, that Great Britain would never have risked conventional warfare with the U.S., let alone nuclear warfare, they'd have left the falklands at just the threat.

Oh yeah, I forgot about your nose bit. But that's quite an impressive gift you have, being able to sense the arrival of a handful of Britons into a country as crammed as India. But such eastern magics cannot stop the indomitable march of the evil Britannians! We will pillage Antarctica to construct our Wellington Churchill mechas! Muwahahaha! >:D

Slight snag in that Plan, My Englanderfuhrer.

The whole..mecha thing kinda....exploded.

Back to the drawing board, then. There shall be unstoppable legions of walking tanks!

[Calimera II]

Falklands; British by the will of Falklanders and international law.
Deal with it mrs Kirchner.

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the overwhelming majority of the Argentine population and a lot of other governments disapprove of this message.

[Fartsniffage]

You will note that there is a word that was included in the first three examples that doesn't appear in the fourth. Want to guess which one?

From Britain's perspective, "giving up" something is the same as "giving independence" to it, they lose the territory either way. India, Canada, and Australia made Great Britain a large sum of money, the falklands does not.

It's odd. Those who support the Argentine claim always talk about territory. Those who support the British claim so often want to talk about the people. And yet Britain is the evil imperialist one...

[ImperialistSalvia]

I really don't understand what there is to argue. The Falklanders are British, they voted to be British, so what's the issue? Argentina just uses it as a way to get the people riled up, and for the Arctic.

Why can't we make penguin-tank hybrids. They're penguins, but move and have guns like tanks.

Not really.
"You mean, you'll start running all this shit yourselves and STILL trade with us? Fuckin' sold mate!"

"You mean, you'll be taking over the running of this province from us, against the will of the people who live there? And we don't even get any money out of it? U WOT M8."

Because those "people" are actually wee hobgoblins summoned up by the ghost of the wicked sorceress Queen Victoria. *nods*

Look, broski, the Union Jack doesn't just magically pick itself up and plant itself in the ground thousands of miles away from where it started, something has to pick it up and take it there, namely, the British.

France?
Seriously, FRANCE?

I think it was an American who said the Congo is more of a U.S. Allie then France.

You doubt the stubbornness of Thatcher?

India disagrees with the right of the people of Pakistan.

What, are we just going to simultaneously cede everyone's claim to everything, or something?

NATO includes countries that aren't very close to the North Atlantic, yunno.

It's just a name, man.

One week does not tell anything about a country. You have to live in a country to understand how the people really are. Everyone can be racist you know.
