http://www.euronews.net/ Hundreds of activists have descended on the British Embassy in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires to call on Britain to relinquish its sovereignty of the Falkland islands.
The protest comes as Argentine has once again reiterated its claim to the territory.
The announcement that the production of oil will soon start off the tiny Archipelago has sparked some verbal sniping between London and Buenos Aires.
This protester explained why he was outside the embassy:
Argentina legitima dueña de las islas Malvinas, las heredo del virreinato del rio de la plata, ingleses trataron de conquistar Buenos aires 3 veces no pudieron y tomaron las islas en 1833 expulsando a la poblacion civil argenntina que residia alli.
Piratas Inglese devuelvan lo que no les corresponde.

I think that the United States should give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians. I also think Denmark should give back Greenland to the Greenlanders. I think we should give Mesopotamia back to Persia, Hispania back to the Romans, Rhodes back to Athens and the Peloponnese back to Sparta.

I think you will find Argentina that actually the French owned the islands first :) then gave them to the uk who gave them to Spain who gave them to the uk who gave them to the united provinces who gave them to the states who gave them to Argentina who gave them to the uk again. And they dont lay in your territorial waters as they only extend 12 miles from the coast they don't even lay in your economic exclusion zone which is 200 miles from the coast so actually they lay in international waters

All of these history lessons are fascinating, but there is only one issue that matters: What do the Falkland Islanders want here and now? We all know the answer to that, and only someone who wants to revive the principles of colonialism in the 21st century would think anything else is relevant. The Islanders want to remain British, period, end of story.

No you moron, Byron actually set foot on the Falklands. This farce of an argument is done as far as I'm concerned.

@VirtualMark2 Brainwashed moron you. You are the stupid who defend a country that, as you say, did a lot of pretty bad stuff. The falkland people is english, as in SouthAfrica are english (some cities). BUT AFRICA OWNS TO BLACK PEOPLE.
Give up, but this is because you can't have a reasonable discussion without pejoratively criticism.
