Favorite British Overseas Territory?

[BonusAer]

No need, since you've already stole it from France, then Spain, and last but not least, Argentina...

[la bestia kuit]

Do you feel proud of this possesion? no one of this places naturaly belong to the UK, all was taken by the force or without the owner permission. I can´t believe that in the XXI century any country still have colonys around the world, or as you named "Overseas Territory"

wherever Bermuda looks fine

[Lostboy]

Why don't you tell that to the French, or are they somehow different because they speak a similar language to you? On the other hand as a seperatist I wish to have nothing to do with these colonial adventures.

Anyway claims on Antarctica are ridiculous, no-one recognises anyone's Antarctic Claims, and we've all signed treaties preventing us from exploiting Antarctica in anyway.

Thanks for your concern, but Gibralter and Bermuda, have voted to retain the current status and I'm pretty sure the other countries in the list would vote to stay if they wanted to, the fact there is no demand for such a vote shows there is little or no demand to leave.

Anyway, just to keep you happy Kuit, here is a nice picture for you:

[firulo]

pirates! Go back to your hemisphere

[firulo]

Here´s a nice picture for you too

[Gran Rosario]

The fact that you keep showing off so much the overseas territories only convinces me that your british islands are ugly and boring.(Not to mention that your food and most of your women suck ass).

Anyway, give back what you´ve stolen.

Peace and love.

[nachoargentina]

yeap!! peace and love....but you are still pirates. And you´ll be for the rest of your history...
Murderers and pirates that what you people are.

let me show you another picture



Do you know him? He's Ronald Daintree one of the 43 British descendants who fought in Malvinas, but...you may wonder form wich side they were fighting? well, they are just part of 1.600.000 British/Scottish/Irish descendents who left the "great British empire" to arrived and live in Argentina escaping from hunger.

So how it does feel that one of yours do something like this to your own ass?

HMS Antelope



Oh yes!...I almost forgot, you could not make it without dady's little help, did you?

The British Economist magazine has revealed in its March 3 edition that the United States played an indispensable role in aiding Britain's military victory over Argentina in the 1982 war for the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands in the South Atlantic. The Pentagon specially outfitted its Ascension Island airforce base for British use and diverted vast quantities of war materiel with astounding rapidity. This included 200 Sidewinder missiles, "the most decisive weapon of the campaign." It promised to immediately replace an aircraft carrier if the British lost one. The U.S. also gave the British details of Argentine radar frequencies so that installations could be hit by radar-seeking missiles, told them how to defuse unexploded U.S.-made bombs landing aboard ships, and repositioned a military satellite to supply Britain with 98% of its military intelligence on Argentine movements during the war.

Arh, did the nasty Zim Flyer upset his new Argentinian friends, so much one of them had to create a second account because they were scared of any consequences to their main account.



I think it rather proves my point.

[sjwmoore]

Posting pics of exploding warships is going a bit far- an EOD man died on that ship, and a crewman.

Have a little respect!

And be aware that Ascension is UK sovereign territory, the US assistance in using the airfield is hardly surprising. The AIM9 version of the Sidewinder was already on order, it was just hurried up a bit. Some Argentinians are adamant that US Harriers were lent to UK, citing evidence of painted out markings. These were, in fact, diverted Sea Harriers from the Indian Navy order.

Millions of immigrants who choose to live here and millions of tourists who come here to visit every year would disagree with you about the islands being ugly and boring and the UK always seems to have more restaurants in those "world's best restaurants" lists but never mind.

Do none of you Argentineans see the irony and hypocrisy of complaining about European colonialism and stealing land from its rightful owners?

In case you have forgotten, let me remind you:

YOUR ENTIRE COUNTRY ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR!!!!

Don't worry though, as an act of charity, i'm sure that the British government will allow the Argentine population to live on the South Sandwich islands as guest workers once you have given Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Patagonia and everywhere else back to the Toba, Wichí, Mocoví, Pilagá, Chulupí, Diaguita Calchaquí, Kolla, Guaraní, Chorote, Chané, Tapieté, Mapuche, Tehuelche and Selknam peoples.

Anyway, good luck against Germany tomorrow

Peace and Love

Well said, Jonesy

If the Argentinians have such a deep attachment to the "Malvinas", why have they ruined the place for years to come by seeding hundreds of unmarked minefields? What kind of a tinpot army dosent mark its minefields? Its actually against the Geneva Convention to do so.

Maybe his ancestors made a good decision for them but the current generation must be cursing them

Let's take a look at the history of the Argentine economy in the 20th Century

http://www.wider.unu.edu/conference/...s/solimano.pdf

GDP per capita of Argentina as a percentage of OECD average.

1900-1914 106%, very impressive, congratulations!

1914-1929 99%, still good, well done.

1930-1940 93% Starting to slip......

1940-1950 94% The war provides temporary respite, all of that wealth brought by Nazi war criminals must help!

1950-1960 80% I'm beginning to spot a trend here

1960-1970 68% Oh dear, getting worse, when will it stop!

1970-1975 66% not yet..

1975-1990 52%

1990-2005 44% How did you manage to make such a fuck up of a country with so many resources and advantages

Statistics are correct.
But do not forget in the 70`s UK`s economic chaos seemed to develop the country into a situation very similar to today´s Argentina...
Whre does the big difference lay?
The answer is:
WE UNLUCKILY ARE NOT BACKED UP BY DADDY YANK

The Malvinense Zorro, was the only native land mammal of the Malvinas Islands.

Isn't a cute little puppy?
Not for the illegal british settlement i guess... who did i nice job wiped them out from the island in 1876. So i'm also wonder: If the British have such a deep attachment to the "Falcklands", why have they ruined the place for years to come???

"Geneva Convention"???, I would be here for hours writing a list of thousands violations to that convention from you in Irak and Afghanistan (and this is just because i dont want to go backwards on time otherways the list will be much longer, thats for sure)

And talking about mines...
the feasibility study on the removal from the Islands of the mines which were laid by the Argentines in 1982. Representatives of the UK and Argentine Governments have been meeting regularly to agree arrangements to enable a study funded by the Argentine Government to take place in the next austral summer.
