Falklands or Malvinas? (And Anglo-Saxon Bias)

[The Neo-Hellenic Republic]

I support Britain against Argentina but not against Rhodesia

The Rhodesians were just a bunch of racist neo-nazis than god they don't exist anymore.
Mind, it would be better if we had white neo-nazis down there than the black ones killing all the whites.

[Calimera II]

Imagine that you have a two floor house. You live in the two floors.

Then, suddenly, someone appears with a rifle and kick you out, because he thinks that he need more than you and is more strong and can do whatever he wants

You protest, go to the police, but the police says "ok, you two sit at discuss this".

The years pass by and you have childrens, the guy downstairs has kids and you die and the guy die and the life goes on.

So your grandsons has to give your first floor because was took it and now people live there?

Let's discuss a better example:

Your neighbors moves out, and leave their house with a for-sale sign out front. They were a nice younger couple who didn't always get along, but the duplex accommodated their whims. Over time you don't see anyone else move in, and one day your neighbor across the street asks if his kids can play in the dilapidated house's yard, since you're the person most effected by the decision. You graciously accede.

Over time you begin thinking about expanding your garden there, and actually knock down your wall to get the process underway. The city informs you this is not how one acquires property, and you grudgingly agree, putting up a makeshift fence again. At no time do you consider buying the house.

Then, one day, the young lady who was the previous owner moves back in. You are surprised, because you had kind of thought of the house as yours at that point. She has taken up with a new man, and in a few years small children run about merrily in the house. This makes you grumpy with the sound of their feet trampling what would have been your garden.

So one day you knock your own fence down and drive the children off, wielding a formidable hatchet. The landowner chases you off with a shotgun, and then you begin referring to his backyard as "My East Garden" and take him to court to get it from him.

What is the rational response to this court case?

And suddenly everybody realised how easy it is to rewrite history to make it fit your personal stance.

Rhodesia does not exist anymore, back to the 21st century, alright?

And what proof do you have that that occurred?

Well, a highly reputable site tells us that Brits are Evil.

[Vassenor]

Wat.... ...

I agree. One, Gurkhas weren't there, it was the Parachute Regiment (Fuck Yeah!) and the Royal Marines (...meh)

Which is why the Royal Gurkha Rifles carries the Falkland Islands as one of the Battle Honours on its colours. 1st Battalion, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles was sent down south.

This issue was concluded long ago, only imperialistic Argentinians disagree.

MALVINAS SON ARGENTINA , LA MUERTE DE BRETAÑA

NOT A INCH HOME RULE IS ROME RULE GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Thank the lord the queen is like 90. Only a few more months and she'll be dead. Then the Scots will rebel and secede. Also, the Brits got conquered by the romans lol

[Imperializt Russia]

And what land, precisely, did the UK take in those wars?

It imposed puppet governments in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan.

What "Libyan government"?

Installing western-friendly regimes (in the case of Afghanistan, backing an existing faction that the Taliban had previously toppled so that was an existing internal conflict) is not "taking land" or "becoming ruler".

Just, like, think about the words you want to use before you type them.

You can hate Britain and still be factually correct, you know.

Really? Well, that's actually nice to know. I did not know that

[New Jordslag]

The Malvina's are Argentinian, no one should give a shit about what the inhabitants think, besides the UK has a habit of rigging elections.

Like Argentina can talk shit about that. The British have a rather clean democratic record, thank you. The referendum in the Falklands was called one of the fairest in the world, but it voted to remain British regardless. Until you can somehow explain to me how the Falklanders, who have been living there on land given to them for hundreds of years, somehow have less of a claim than a small garrison the Argentinians put on there while the British were busy with other things, the British have won.

Rather, an attempt to restore order to rightful Argentine land.

I would think that the same claim was made by a lot of other fascistoid dicktatorships throughout history. "We're just taking back what's rightfully ours", indeed.

Hitler did make similar claims, remember, and you don't get much more fascist than Hitler.

From your signature: "I am a fascist, I support White Pride and I am proud to be white. I'm a member of Social National Action, and I will fight for the Aryan Race.

Pro: White Pride, White Nationalism, Aryan Supremacy."

And yet, you complain about "racist neo-nazis?"

Hitler was an intelligent man, as was the Argentinian fascist government.

One, shut the fuck up. We're not talking about impossibilties (granted the Queen will die eventually). So unless you have actual valuable material that relates to the argument, shut the fuck up

I call my theory the " Territorial Proximity and alteration of Boundaries.

i am not kidding, complete serious,s granted I may have crazy views to you but I think mine are very very very slightly shiny with a hint of bronze.

Do you want also a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick to go with it?

nah ,i 'm good. do you have an fry sauce?
i like that.

the US needs to give GB a big amount of money to go away and eat fish and chips ( sorry, only English stereotype I know)
then ,while no one is looking, the Falklands gradually builds up a freedom movement (and Argentinean population) in order to succeeded from the UK and join Argentina, once and for all.

[Kalatun]

An Independent nation?
2,932 people in the middle of the Atlantic, independent?!
Then Argentina will invade again, won't they, Britain? xD

Argentina invaded the Falklands in the last year of an unpopular regime as a way to try and show the people that they was as STRONK as their words were.
This failed.
And rightfully, the people ousted the failing government.
The Falklands were inhabited by the Brits since 1766. Argentina wasn't even a nation until 1816, when they immediately sought after claiming lands that were claimed by the British and the Spanish Empires. Spain didn't do anything about it, but Britain left a plaque letting everyone know that a big portion (the Stanley area) of the Falklands were indeed claimed by the British Empire. Spain should have rightfully owned the West Falklands, but the British just seized it.

And of course, Argentina being as stubborn as it is, decides that digging up a 217-year old grudge would be a great way to rally the populace.
Both Argentinians and Brits get so unnecessarily butthurt over this topic, when the facts are there.

And for those who want it to be independent, I urge you to think. Yes, the Holy See is an actual country. But, it's a joke. It has an exception (for one reason or a stupid 'nother) mainly because of it's status as the home of Roman Catholicism. Really, it's a stupid idea - like making the Schloßkirche in Wittenburg its own country. Wittenburg was also a city-state, like the Vatican, but this is the 21st Century. Wake up and smell the progress xD

Both sides of this party are biased, but especially the Argentina sympathisers. The Falklands, afterall, are British at the moment, and so British sympathisers are merely patriotic. Argentina sympathisers are just angry and annoyed because they lost a war in the middle of a military government. Get. Over. It. If you want land so badly, make like Galtieri and try and annex some internationally-recognised territory, like the Atacama. You have just as much justification (none) to invade the Atacama (or some other nation's territory) as your corrupt dictators did to invade the Falklands.
