Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty

[kentonio]

To be fair to Drake (I don't want to but propriety demands it) you bastards don't even seem to know your own history. I was watching the BBC today about how the Magna Carta was going on display and they showed some, seemingly, middle class white woman (with a horrible accent) saying she had never heard of it. Don't you people have British history classes the way all Americans are forced to take American history classes (often with lots of patriotic propaganda mixed in)?

I mean something has to get those poorly paid and crapped upon plebs fired up and willing to die for their country.

Our history classes aren't generally packed with patriotic propaganda. As for Magna Carta, yes people should know about it, but we do have an awful lot of history. It's not really surprising that some random woman who might not give the first damn about history would necessarily know about it.

Don't let him troll you Ken.

Most Americans can't find their own state on a map.

I have often considered this, Apolyton, since the straight people left, the 'gay civilization forum', and rightly so. Sure this is not a completely gay forum as the bi-curious also frequent. Not to appear anti-gay, don't get me wrong. I'm glad the gays have their own forum, the gays deserve Apolyton, and Apolyton deserves the gays. Long may they have each other. Now it appears from this thread that Apolyton is also the Bwittish forum, and that really has me thinking. The gay forum a n d the Bwittish forum. Surprise surprise.

One vote for getting the Bwittish colonialists off the Malvinas and returning straight Argentine people to the island.

BUTT! Not because they are gay, but because they are Bwittish. Also, if it weren't for Bwittish colonialism, would the Mavinas have a single Brit on them?

Shouldn't you be off selling Filipino women to aging American males rather than here being homophobic and supporting the wars of former military juntas?

Paging Tupac, Tupac Shakur to the Falklands thread

Oh, I guess I missed my calling! I respect the gays choice of...whatever. None of my business really. Also Apolyton for providing gays a place to be gay, to repeatedly proclaim their gayness, and how proud they are and how victimized. Got a lot of respect for Poly making a sophisticated, modern, Lifestyle choice. Yeah! Freedom of choice, a cornerstone of democracy, and I've stood long hours of guard for democracy.

I'm doing pretty well actually, even though I've never sold a human being in all my days. Adopting 2, boy and girl, brother and sister. Great kids, wonderful. I love these children, and nothing NAMBLA about it. I feel like I'm finally doing something truly holy. Forget contributions, forget religious teaching, kids. Kids. That's where life begins. I just wish I wasn't so old. Like to see them get established. Still, I'm teaching triangles and squares and stars, great stuff. Give them a true childhood like I never had. Now that's what I'm up to, how about you?

I'm not homophobic! Butt, go ahead and have your way.

What bugs me is this group has a tougher time taking a joke than most. Really I'm getting the Brits and their one sided anti brown South Americanism. You look real good at Ireland. The Brits don't even like the Irish controlling Ireland, imagine if the Argentinians controlled it?

The Falklands being populated by brown people?

[Lancer]

Might just prefer it over the Brits.

[kentonio]

You know we gave Ireland back nearly a hundred years ago, right?

The Falklands being populated by brown people?

No, the Malvinas is populated by the descendants of colonialist Brits. The Argentines have a few non Italian, non German brown people, I'm pretty sure.

Do you guys not believe in the Brits colonialist past? Here I thought the Japanese were bad for denying WW2 war crimes.

Yeah, I'm proud of 'we'. So when you going to remove the colonialists from the Falklands and give them back? Or does might make right? Or, who currently lives there make right? If so, I'm sure you guys are BIG supporters of Israel, yes?

Well you see when it's an island in the middle of the South Atlantic where Argentine people never actually lived, then its a little questionable to suddenly decide you're going to evict people whose families have lived there for centuries just because you think their skin is the wrong colour. It's almost like there might be a word to describe that..

If so, I'm sure you guys are BIG supporters of Israel, yes?

I am personally yes, although lots of people are not.

And you are a homophobe. And a misogynist. IIRC, you couldn't handle the fact that American women had their own minds and independence (some of us have known you for a long time!), and so shipped out to find a country whose values are still based on the 'traditional' subservient woman in the kitchen model that you prefer - the fact that they need the money helps too, I guess so you can control them even more...

You're a homophobic, misogynistic and controlling old man with a penchant for young girls who revels in the power being an American in a third world country brings...

Those are simply the facts and if it's a mutually convenient arrangement, well good for you...

No, I'm not. I chose to marry a Filipina, my wife of 17 years, because I could not find in the US a woman who shared my values. Those are, God, family, faithfulness. While I don't doubt there are such women there, I had no luck. The homophobic bit I've already answered. Poly picks on everyone, its people tear every virtue down. Can I not pick on people like you do, for no reason other than I feel like it? Because they could use a good picking on? Sorry if it hit close to home MOB.

Racist as well...
