Actually it seems like it has been British territory for much longer and either way is still legally still Britain's and they don't have the right to take it from us just because they've changed there minds. That's not how bloody ownership works otherwise the rule of law just goes COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW. The islands are Britain's. End of discussion.

@TheFreshSpam Too right. If it's yours now, then it's yours. If it was once yours, then it isn't anymore. That is the law of ownership. If your want to get it back the other way, then you should have to LITERALLY physically fight for it. If one side looses then fair enough. The Argentines learned this before and we shouldn't be scared to do it again.

Not feeling that AT ALL. It's not colonialism and more so just an overseas territory. Plus I'm maaassively pro-colonialism. Without it after all, NONE OF US would be here today. By the law of probability that is a guaranty. Powers grow and shrink and grown and shrink in territories throughout the centuries and old peoples change and new ones form. That's just how nature works and colonialism is just the natural human form of that. And today this is continued in the form of big businesses. To deny it is to deny what the hell we are.

@Gilberto90 Exactly. You can't just claim a territory is bloody yours 'just' because it is close to you. By that logic then we should aaall be one super continent country because sooo many of us our directly connected to one another. Eventually this has to STOP and for us to except that there is nothing wrong this a country having a piece of territory far from it's own shores.

@JohnDoe-bh2lp Own please don't start that small minded nonsense again.

@b.ballooon9225 Exactly. It's not like the bases are insanely huge and ruining the environment are anything. Plus they are still our islands and we have the right to have bases there. In this day and age it is even more important now.

Well I back the claim that the islands are still ours and we shouldn't be scared to fight for our own side, otherwise we'll just end up having nothing. THIS'S WHY CHINA IS WINNING HERE PEOPLE. We need to have a bloody backbone again to FIGHT for what is ours. If we were like this a few decades ago we never would've gotten the Falklands back. We would've just bent over and let the Argentina's have then and left a chocolate on the pillow for good measure.

@nervachadikus They already are. In many other circumstances this little ship would in fact be see as breaking the law. It's all a case of one sides perspective over the other.
