    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
    "If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."

    Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

    It's all to do with the Arg Govt making a howling balls of the Arg economy. So, like other domestic political failures before her its head needs the straw man of an imagined external enemy to take her people's minds off their impending doom. Which I hope is truly severe, but Arg has lots of grass for its people to eat.

    I would like British embassies world wide to shine a pic of the sinking Belgrano on their frontage. Let's give this mad bat a run for it.

    The pointless c24 chair has come out in favor of the argys regardless of logic.
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?

    'Course it's logical, Embajador Diego Morejón Pazmiño speaks a very similar lingo to that of Excelentísima Señora Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner, ergo he must back up whatever moonbat idea she comes up with.
    It's the Dago way.

    I am rather bored with this whole charade, the Falkland Islanders wish to remain just as they are, no amount of debate at the UN is going to change their fundamental rights. Israel have chosen to ignore over 60 UN resolutions, just what does the UN think will happen?

    Some of what the UN does is very good (famine and disaster relief, maybe some of the peacekeeping etc) but the career UN officials who infest New York really believe that they are the executive arm of the World Government, of course without any of the inconvenience which actually getting elected etc entails. To this end they tend to spout delusional bollocks, and expect it to be regarded as the ultimate wisdom. Imagine Brussels to the power of 10!

    We should just ignore them.

    Its a shame really but a un does have to have all the nations of the world represented or whats the point.
    Unfortunatly a vast number of countrys represtantives should be given an iPad with a porn subscription and ignored

    She really does need a close encounter with a ducking stool. On the BBC news website she was attempting to justify the Argentinian claim to sovereignty and rubbish the British one by wailing about how near the islands were to Argentina and how could they possibly be British being thousands of miles away.
    Perhaps she has never heard of the US states of Hawaii and Alaska.
    Actually. didnt America buy Alaska at about 10 cents an acre from the Russians (wiki says 2 cents)? I swear the game RISK was devoloped to teach politicians basic mililtary stratagy.... good thing there wasnt a German version in 1940/41 at the BergHof. And Hawaii still waves the Union Flag.
