The people of the Falkland Islands literally do not want to be Argentinian.What ever you think of British colonialism, right or wrong... or even a great injustice. The people of the Falkland Islands do not want to be Argentinian. They, as I am... are proud of their British Identity. None of them were alive when the Falklands was colonised in the 1700's ... none of them are responsible for what happened. The people alive today in Argentina were not alive during the colonisation of the Falklands either. It should be the right of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands to decide which country they want to be part of.
Arguably as we are all Highly evolved territorial primates... the history of every country in the world involves fighting, war and the taking of that land/country as territory. To my knowledge the vast majority of countries on the planet have been fought over... this is what establishes ownership. Not geographic location. Even if you think this is wrong and should not be the case... this is how things work in the real world.
We are Human beings, only one of 7 species of human beings called Homo Sapiens. We beat the other 6 who are not extinct to become the dominant species from the Homo Genus on the planet. We are of the Homo genus of animals... each species is grouped into a Gensus. But as clever as we are.... we are still animals. Is just so happens to be the case that we are the most intelligent animals on the planet. Out of over 8 Million species of Animals on the planet. We are the most intelligent of them all... hence why we are top of the food chain.
But don't make the mistake of assuming our civilization means we don't have the instincts of other primates. Instead of colonising an area of the jungle. Our areas of the Jungle are entire countries. Just like troops of Chimpanzee's colonise areas of jungle... we colonise areas of the planet. Chimpanzees have troops... we have great big bands o Homo Sapiens forming millions at a time... We share 96% of their DNA... but instead of colonizing patches of jungle we colonize parts of the planet as we are the alpha species.
If Argentina was as strong as us, they'd have colonised large chunks of the world too. And if we ever get as weak as Argentina you can guarantee the Homo Sapiens in Argentina will try to retake the Falkland Islands as another patch of their metaphoric jungle.
I take the side of Britain. I am British, and no one will ever take my identity way from me. We are currently a civilised nation. We welcome all walks of life, all faiths and all races provided they integrate, provided they want to share the decency of the values we have evolved to practice. But don't make the mistake of assuming this is a weakness. We are still the majority at over 80% of the population. If you abuse our welcoming nature, we will turn on you and we will show you were are not he weak idiots you take us to be... out instincts passed on through the genes of our ancestors will be awo
