    I can't answer for him but I guess he cares because a wrong sense of patriotism like the 70% of my countrymen, not their fault of course, generation after generation we have been educated with the same values where brits are evil; two years before the Falkland conflict nobody here know of the existence of the islands. Heck! nobody knows about anything! Our worst enemy was in charge at that moment but we were afraid of the brits in some remote islands that we didn't know.

    Lol, brits are devil. And yes, I'm patriotic. Sadly, we are patriotic when Argentina plays some remote football match.

    Settle the issue once and for all: give the Falklands/Malvinas to Kosovo.

    I think we should just put it on sale on Ebay - after all no one seem to care about the innhabitants.

    Maybe we should put Hordaland, Norway, on Ebay, after all nobody cares what happens there.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Not sure where you're going with that one.

    I think that had sounded like " Falkland Islands anyway. Who cares ?" and that's why "We'd not care about Hordaland, Norway either."

    Hmmm, yes. The Islanders are British, they should not be ruled by a foreign power. Not to mention they're quite happy as is, thankyou very much.

    You're patriotic if you want other people to die over some remote little islands nobody really cares about?

    Isn't that a beautifully succinct summary of most nationalist folly?

    You can't invade Tasmania, we need it for nuclear testing.

    Well I assumed that's what all of these other countries wanted it for. As long as there isn't much of Tasmania left (Except Bob Brown and all Bob Brown supporters) when the nuclear testing is through, I will think the trade-off will be worth it. In fact, we win - because they have to keep Tasmania...
