    I agree to this, and let's be honest, none of them would ever win a beauty pageant would they.

    The maoris too. They poor bastards got almost wiped out completely. Then of course there is the proud history of the US wiping out the Native American Indian. Colonialism at it's best.

    They uses to hunt down aboriginies for drunken sport. Some times a whole settlement would be wiped out, men, women and children.

    Now some of those Native American Indian burds, would get it severly, as long as you can trade them in for a new one once they reach about 40. <ok>

    It must be very strange, here's the scenario a beutiful 39 year old native indian burd goes to bed on the eve of her 40th birthday, and wakes up the next day looking about 140.
    Must really piss off their blokes.

    Example; 39 year old on eve of her birthday.

    Next day, now she's 40.

    There's no contradiction, the Falkland Islanders if they had a referendum would vote to remain in the Commonwealth, but Argentina has no mandate to ask for one. Same goes for the Norgies.

    I believe Cameron's argument is that Argentina has no authority to dictate terms on the Falklands hence:
    ""The key point is we support the Falkland Islanders' right to self-determination, and what the Argentinians have been saying recently, I would argue is actually far more like colonialism because these people want to remain British and the Argentinians want them to do something else,The absolutely vital point is that we are clear that the future of the Falkland Islands is a matter for the people themselves, and as long as they want to remain part of the United Kingdom and be British they should be able to do so."

    Compare this with:

    Argentina's foreign minister Héctor Timerman said: "Instead of convening its National Security Council, Great Britain should call Ban Ki-moon and accept the multiple resolutions of the [UN] organisation urging a dialogue on the Malvinas [Falklands] question to reach a peaceful solution.”

    Mr Timerman added that Britain was “in imperial decline” was attempting to “rewrite history”.
    Argentina’s interior minister Florencio Randazzo said the “colonialism” comment was “absolutely offensive”. “It is absolutely offensive especially in the case of Great Britain. History clearly shows what its attitude to the world was,” said Mr Randazzo.

    As I said, pure whataboutery and some sabre rattling form the Argies.

    So what's to talk about? What "Dialogue" is required? The Falkland Islanders want nothing to do with Argentina (understandably) so are they to be forced ino a dialogue with Argentina on the say so of Argentina and the UN?

    They (Argentina) have accused Britain of "Colonialism" in the Falklands when they are actually the country who want to force their nationality onto the people of the Falklands, Britain has argued that the the final say should fall to the Islanders. So who are the Imperialists?
