Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty

[Hauldren Collider]

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.

why are they called fvcklands and not malvides? or is it maldives? I always confuse this.

Malvinas, from the french Malouines, named after the port from which sailed the ship which first saw them, St. Malo. The british then gave them a new name when they landed and left a plaque, because **** the french.

Before the Argentinian government makes any claims to territory they should demonstrate the ability to govern the territory they already have. Not doing so well on that front lately.

At least we have universal healthcare and don't make a habit of ****ing up other countries on baseless grounds.

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

To be fair, they didn't set up a military base there until after we invaded.

I trust it was not in 1982.

I was -2 years old then, so probably not.

actually, I think kentonio's thoughts on the Falklands give him a point towards his "conservatism"

[Sava]

I agree on the barren hellhole though.

Apart from the flight schedule, its relatively easy. Hell, I went there while the ban to argentine people was still up.

Actually, they are several hundreds of islands. Two big ones.

those aren't islands its an archipelago

by definition, they aren't single entities

[N35t0r]

I find it highly amusing that there are about as many british armed forces on the island as their are actual islanders.

A while back I looked into what you'd have to do to visit the falkland islands. It's really difficult. There's only three flights a week, two from the UK via Ascension Island and one via Chile.
