The Falklands


Snake-Pit

Recommended Posts

The problem with Argentina is, they're too butt hurt.

Reports this week have seen BBC's Top Gear crew flee Argentina for their lives over a license plate H982 FLK or something.

Argentina will never, ever control the Falklands, the people remain British and if they didn't, they'd be an independent nation and Argentina needs to accept they've got nothing but a failed war to do with the Falklands.

Some wacky fascist Argentine dictator decided it'll be good PR back in the 1980s to try and take the Falkland islands, they failed and after that failed war, Argentina booted that dictator out. - They will NEVER control the Falklands, ever.

I partially agree with what you said (wacky fascist Argentine dictator decided it'll be good PR back in the 1980s to try and take the Falkland islands).

But the biggest wacky fascist idiot on that story was Margaret Thatcher. SHE also thought showing some imperialism and army power would be good for her weakened government. It was ridiculous and unfair.

By the way, I've been to Tierra del Fuego (Fireland) for years ago, in the extreme south of America, and there was a military argentinan base there with a huge flag saing "The Malvinas has always been and will always be argentinian." :P

The Argentine stance ignores the population of the Falklands while they accuse Great Britain of being imperialist and vow to kick Great Britain out so they can be imperialist behind the world's back once Great Britain's gone.

A. The people have decided to remain British.

B. If they ever decided otherwise, they'd be independent, NOT Argentinian.

Argentina are the real imperialist party here.

While I can understand the people of the Falklands wanting to be part of the British Empire (the majority are of British descent) I do find it kind of funny how possessive people in the UK are when it comes to some fucking rock off the coast of South America that they've never set foot on and are very much unlikely to ever do so,

This. I never knew people in the UK were so possessive about it. The common assumption here is what Manets said, Thatcher doing it to stay in office/win the election. I had no idea many people in the UK still felt that way. I thought it might just have been Snake-Pit.

When i saw The Fawklands started by Snakepit i knew this was gonna be brilliant :lol:

I love the Argies myself, Messi, Maradonna, Maravilla, Chino Maidana, Oscar Bonavena, Lukas Matthyyssee and of course, the one and only, El Commandante Che Guevara! I understand there's probably more to an entire nation with a looong history than a bunch of boxers and football players but suffice to say what I've been exposed to I like. God bless em I say.

Kinda rate South Americans in general actually, especially the older ones, they have a wonderful sense of masculinity and morality...i dunno, I can't really put my finger on it. I guess also cuz their working class are proper working class and quite poor as well and like...I dunno, just always naturally sided with those kind of people.

Che alone was one of the greatest men of the 20th Century.

Anyone ever notice about Snakes that he tries to come off as this like free and easy 21st Century all inclusive rainbow band love everybody type modernist hippie dude but get him on these fuckin' nationalist subjects and watch his fucking bollocks start to swell :lol:

"One little-known fact about Ernesto Guevara ("Che" was a childhood nickname) is that he was of Irish heritage. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1928, the first child of Ernesto Guevara Lynch and Celia de la Serna. Ernesto Guevara Lynch's mother, Ana Isabel Lynch, with whom Che's family lived for years and to whom Che grew especially close, was the daughter of immigrants who had sailed to Argentina from County Galway, Ireland, at around the time of the Irish Famine."

Just pilfered that off some other site. Funnily enough the Argentinian Navy was set up by a Brown from Ireland :lol:

Probably where the rebel spirit in him came from, if the state of South America back then weren't enough to stir him. I'd be lying to you if i said i knew that and I've read the big fuckin' biography on him too, the one by John Lee Anderson?

The problem is not with those islands and more to do with Argentina and the Argentinean national psyche itself. The Argies are a nation possessing a fascist nationalistic cult (there are no, softer ways, to describe this). This cult is centered around the figure of Diego Maradona (yes, the Argies are that moronic!), outdated American hair rock acts and 'Islas Malvinas'. This was impregnated - preprogrammed - into every Argie at birth: ''must grow a mullet, worship El Diego and harp on about a bunch of islands for eternity''. Consequentially, it is a national birthright to reclaim the Malvinas and wish, every footy player who dons a pair of shinpads is, ''the next Maradona''.

The problem with this is, Argentina possesses an economy about as useless as a homosexual in a brothel. So it has become common, whenever the currency goes tits up (which is about every Saturday), to bring up ''Malvinas'' to divert public attention.

The Argies are really, quite, children - god bless them. They are the Axl Rose of countries. A toddler in a rage with no historical perspective.

I must stress, that implanted population is still a population and as long as they keep on deciding to be British, Westminster will protect their rights..............

I think that's the status quo around here.

But the Argentinian people did force the cast of Top Gear to abandon their cars over a license plate and police then had to escort everybody out the country.

People started to throw rocks and things turned nasty.

'Implanted?' A Argie population - which itself is merely a colony of Spaniards - would be equally as colonized as a British population - why is it why the British are beating with the 'colonial' thing when, the irony of all ironies, we were actually shit at colonialism. The Spanish had this glorious empire in the 16th century with gold and silver being imported from the Aztecs and the Incas, slaves, everything. What did the British have? A bunch of Protestant nutters on N. America's east coast. We lagged behind Portugal and Spain and the Dutch. We were hopeless. Elizabeth's buccaneers were merely a band of pirates picking, but never seriously interfering with, all those riches imported to Cadiz.

... Implanted population, deal with it.

The Brits on the Falkland islands, generation after generation of implanted Brit who have lived there their whole lives and still manage to retain an English accent (!?)!? - that we have no choice but to protect until they don't want to be British anymore, and.... It's seen as really up to them and every referendum legal.

Yes but there are no, indigenous, Falklander islanders. An Argie population, would be, equally, as colonial in nature as the current population - doubly so considering Argentina itself is merely a colony of Spain!

By the way, gonna show them sum drum n' bass moves homey? I do not think there are too many bros on the Malvinas - mostly honkey sheep shearers.

Insult by Johnny Foreigner. A British person will call his country 'wank' and have referendums and all sorts of bollocks on his country but - lo and behold - if Johnny foreigner has something to say it is, send in the tornadoes, send in the SAS. Typical British behaviour. Wonderfully queer ole boy.

Imagine if Britain would have succesfully concurred Buenos Aries in the British invasions of the Río de la Plata of 1806?

That would have been cool. :lol:

Imagine Argentina today if that happened. Will they have been like The Falklands/Islas Malvinas? But bigger and like Australia or the Canada of South America?

Or will they have been like South Africa and maybe even oppressed?

Would it be like Zimbabwe (Robert Mugabe looks up to Adolf Hitler btw) or would it be like Jamaica? (Jamaica was once a Spanish colony before it was British).

Woud it be like Hong Kong? and now Spanish since 1997?

Who knows?
