Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty

[regexcellent]

Its much much better than what millions of people in the US, a country with almost five times the GDP per capita, get.

Bull****. Despite what liberals proclaim our healthcare is in fact excellent, as evidenced by the fact that more people survive diseases such as cancer here than anywhere else, and far and away more people come here for medical treatment than any other country. You don't see Saudi princes traveling to Argentina for brain surgery.

/facepalm

so what are the numbers for?

just a count? so all of the bases are in the same series?

gotcha

I got thrown off by the #1 that is seemingly right on top of the "home islands" or whatever

There's probably a list with the neames in the article

the imbecility of the brazilian upper/middle classes

Yeah, I've gotten that impression from your posts already.

edit: oh wait, I misread that

but nevertheless

only one domestic base? that doesn't seem right

i'm calling BS

No- that's just a numbering guide. Count the number of Union Jacks in the picture.

I appreciate the effort

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Don't be too hasty with the thanks. I got that from the Daily Telegraph, so it's probably wrong.

and the brits are so pathetic... how many other military bases on foreign soil do they even have?

There you go.

From what I've read, it's universal, but it's also universally bad.

Enjoy your runaway inflation.

The saying right now goes that Brazil is turning into Argentina, Argentina is turning into Venezuela, and Venezuela is turning into Zimbabwe.

You'll get no argument from me that we are being managed like ****.

Google says it's a quote from here: http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB100...96352951436072

makes sense, the WSJ quoting an unnamed brazilian saying something ridiculous. not that i think it's false (i.e. i can well believe that a brazilian said that); the imbecility of the brazilian upper/middle classes has to be seen to be believed.

[Sava]

hahahah WSJ editorial

that would have been my joke guess

[DinoDoc]

who is saying that?
