Let’s take first of all these idiocies of “my old lost an eye fighting the pirates Argentine Nazis occupy land” because I also could you say “the Argentines fought to defend the islands belonged by right to us” all that is relative
second, not if you got the mental capacity to understand that in the year 1833 there was a thing called a confederation Argentina (in democracy but we were not equal to) the islands (which I’m sure that if you stow the height of the island martin garcia and oil today if he had anyone rip their clothes for them) which since 1820 held estava of Argentina, were taken by an English fleet. tell me if it is not then I’m an idiot foreigner occupation
Argentines simply claims erence right of Spain (which the abandonment in the year 1811)
tell me, Are we the sons of bitches who attacked them for no reason?

My father fought in the 1982 war to liberate the islanders from foreign occupation.

If necessary, I myself will fight against Argentina, and naturally, we will again throw them back into the sea.

This is the will of the British people.

About the agreement:
“1995 Hydrocarbons Agreement
Signed 27th September 1995 between the British and Argentine Governments, with active participation by the Falkland Islands Government. Agreed to designate part of the South West Atlantic as an Area of Special Co-operation, and to co-operate through the establishment of a Joint Commission in order to encourage the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in the South West Atlantic by the offshore gas and oil industry. ”

The agreement say what i said before, it is a co-operation area, the current and a lot of previus president of argentina say things just to be part of the media, but that is not the regulation or the way the people in the country think. No other agreement that tried to deny cooperation obligation and what might have said the ex-president of my country has no real weight relating this subject. Unfortunately I could not find the written note criticizing the agreement. If you can send me a link I would appreciate it.
All the parts must be in mutual consensus for this kind of work, and that is what is written in the agreement

Thanks for the reply in and old post.

Dear Carlos,

One point I think I should make, in 2007 your former president repudiated the 1995 agreement.
Argentines should read that agreement to see what was repudiated.

best wishes from the Falkland Islands

Sadly a serius post turn out in something like this.
I am argentino, i just want to say some clarifications:
1.- I think that the island owners are the people who live in the island, i dont care if they are kelpers, english, or any country. Those who live there are the owners. Not is neither English nor the Argentine government.What sense make the rules of someone who is sitting kilometers away (both, british and argentinos) and do not really know the conditions of its people.
2.-I am against the oil exploitation on the island. Not because of who gets the money but because oil is found within the marine platform in Argentina and therefore it has sovereignty (read maritime sovereignty rights for each country that is part of the United Nations). For the correct exploitation there should be mutually agreed between the parties involved (kelpers and Argentine). I also prefer people to think a little more and spend less fossil fuel, but that is another matter. Is a doble edge sword, please look how many wars are located in the “oil land”, and how many wars started for just fuel.
3.- To the british people, i really admire your music, and a lot of yours traditions, but you can not say that your country is a country that has always defended the rights and sovereignty of the colonies.
The majority of the “frist word country” (just to counter quote: Falklands DONT WANT to be part of a third world country) live well because they consume most of the resources of the world, and of course the “third world countrys…” do not have the “right” to grow, because not everyone can be the “first world”. I say this only to clarify that unless we learn to tolerate and share, senseless wars will continue to exist. Count how many wars were in the Middle East over the past 30 years with the presence of soldiers who are not inhabitants of these lands.
A clarification: the term Third World was a political term for the non-aligned countrys in the times of the allies and Communists, misuse of the term led to be the third world equal to ” underdeveloped countries”

The hypocrisy of the argentinians on here is laughable. You dont wish to negotiate the kelpers choice as it was not granted by the argentinian government ?????????? Since when did the argentine government dictate a people’s right to choose. You claim the moral highground with “colonialism” Britain “illegally occupies” THE FALKLANDS and so on, yet over 100 years later you TRY to do exactly the same, and of course, fail so miserably.

Just give it up, I’m sure you’ve more important things to be concerned about down there.

And just because you keep ending your statements with slogans in capitals doesn;t miake your claim any stronger.

Dear James,

Are you like the rest……..?

Research it, investigate, enquire – don’t simply rely upon what you are told.

Find out, confirm, then confirm again.

Once you have done that, then it will be “end of story”.

On of the last comments is just fascinating. The empire that was at the forefront of promoting and benefiting from slavery around the world now talks about “anybody that wants to deprive British citizens such basic human rights as we have proved countless times.”

Falkland Islander, with all respect to your opinion, I think the history you are mentioning has been written by British or Kelpers, which at least makes it suspicious to me. Of course it will tell what the UK wants!
Informed Reader – The Charrúas were the aborigenes living mostly in Uruguay. And I don’t dislike the British, I get along very well with them.

Dear Martin,

The history was indeed written by two Brits, and you have every right to be suspicious.
So please read it, research it, and disprove the contents.
Or are you scared at what you will find..?

To quote the publication from page 19 of the English language version – “4 were Charrúas indians from Uruguay” – so what is your point?
