Building fences, be it between eg Texas and Mexico, or around The Pirate Bay won't do a damn thing. I believe that immigrants should get a citizenship asap, be protected by exploiters that take advantage of "illegals" being undocumented to over-work them and under-pay them, and have the same responsibilities and entitlements like everyone else. The only reason immigrant workers affects the economy negatively, is because we consider them illegal and thus their labour is unregulated.

Besides that - f*ck Australia and f*ck Argentina!

I think I'm missing something...
Argentina? What?

If Argentina take back the Island, and enforce Spanish language, Argentine law and currency.. surely THAT is colonialism??!?

You dont! You're just some guy on the Internet.
And since this is a form of political thread thought i'd share my view

I doubt that. I also doubt they'd let you have much to say on the matter.Garethw87 wrote:Cristina Kirchner moaning that the UK is a colonial monster because we rule the Falkland Island.

Yeah, because English is the native language of the island It really doesn't matter if the language among the population ends up being one of another.
That raises an interesting point. Today, all languages have come from somewhere else. How long does it have to be for one to be called the native language of a territory? Is such label even meaningful?

Garethw87 wrote:Secondly, about 'it doesn't matter if they speak English or Spanish' Well It does really? You say on your profile you speak Andalusian Spanish? If so, why bother? And why bother learning any other language for that matter? That doesn't make sense. They are British Citizens and the last time I checked, we all speak English. So an invading force of Argentine's turning up saying 'speak Spanish now' is very contradictory to what her actual argument is.
As said, it's because oil has been found. Same as always!

The English bullied all countries around them (Wales, Ireland, Scotland).
It's high time England got independent.
