I can't think of any other places where the people living there are exploited and denied the right to self-determination by a foreign power.<br /><br />Also, I'm pretty sure the Falklands and their citizens have far greater autonomy now than they did in, say, 1850.<br /> http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1336716793/1#1 Falkland Islands Forum/The Falkland's Forum http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1336716793/1#1 And in reality argentines do know this... but prefer to live with the lies and the deceits imposed upon them by their government..<br /><br />What else can the reason be..?<br /><br />Kindest regards from the Falkland Islands http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1336165071/5#5 Falkland Islands Forum/The Falkland's Forum http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1336165071/5#5 After all that fuss and Cristina Kerchner's Olympic video boasting, it turns out this Argentinian athlete has not been picked for the Argentine Olympic team. &nbsp;Perhaps he should have trained in Argentina! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/fernando-zylberberg-left-out-of-argentina-olympics-hockey-squad-7728702.html?origin=internalSearch" target="_blank">http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/fernando-zylberberg-left-out-of-argentina-olympics-hockey-squad-7728702.html?origin=internalSearch</a> http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1335096709/0#0 Falkland Islands Forum/Introductions http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1335096709/0#0 My name is Kerry Jewel.

In a place where they had never been. And by the next year, they had occupied the entire archipelago.&quot;<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Untrue.<br />The British force sailed away on January 10th leaving behind at least 22 of Vernet's settlers. It was January 1834 before a 'Resident Naval Officer' arrived to find 11 settlers still there and it was the 1840's before colonisation began in earnest.<br /><br />Another untruth by argentina..<br /><br />Kindest regards from the Falkland Islands http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1332955897/93#93 Falkland Islands Forum/The Falkland's Forum http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1332955897/93#93 <b><a class="message" href="http://falklandia.com/YForum/YaBB.pl?num=1332955897/89#89">Malvinas Argentinas wrote</a> on Apr 12^th, 2012, 12:33am:</b><br /><div class="quote" style="width: 90%">Before you start your verbal attacks,.. all along my text when i say british i mean flags, not people. This is a matter of flags, not  a 3k population. </div><br /><br />It's all about that 3k population you idiot!!! We the British, British Falklanders have the upmost moral obligation to serve ad protect each other! We do not want that attitude you have inflicted on OUR people, the reason we don't is because look what Argentina have achieved compared to GREAT BRITAIN? nothing. We beat you, a country massive compared o us, on your (apparenty) back-yard. <br /><br />Been British gives true identity To one. If you are not British you'll never understand. The true British spirit - &quot;we can do it&quot; and we have, we do ad we always will. <br /><br />Now go dig a hole an bury yourself.
