I do not know much about this, but someone explain what "dependent territory" means?

Its a load of bollocks.

The Malvina's belong to the Argentineans, so give it back to them.

Just like Iraq belongs to the Arabs, so fuck off Americans, no one invited you.

Who said America wanted to take over Iraq? The British rightfully owns the Falklands, they won it and took it from the Spanish.

The thing I've never understood, is why both anyone cares who they belong to. It's an island with crap weather and a lot of sheep. Rather like the UK really...
The population voted that they wanted to remain British, so they are British.

I think, quite frankly, that if you are going to make "baiting" topics simply to irrate somebody else then you should confine it to the junk drawer.

You never would have made this topic if it wasn't for the rather petty looking pissing match you are having with a certain cowboy.

Your point is made and taken; move along.

WTF. This goddamn story was on the BBC dated for today. You people make fun of FOX and CNN and say the BBC is the best, so when I read it and find a story. that is not good enough?

Good point ATG. Someone lock the topic. We've covered all that needs to be said anyway.

We should have an "Arena" forum so you kids can battle it out, searching for news against each other. It would be great for Bible vs Koran (or however you spell it) Quote Wars too.

Oil was a non-issue for Thatcher. At present the Falklands "is a petroleum province in its infancy". During Thatcher's time research on oil around the Falklands was very basic. Only in the past 15 years or so has exploration really increased.

http://www.falklands-oil.com/

As for the Falklands itself: They are British islands with British people on it. Full stop.

How little you know. The Falklands wants to stay as a dependant of Britain. Why the fuck would they choose to become a dependant of a poorer country than them?

BF2S Forums Who owns the Falklands now?
