By all the same arguments that you could invoke to justify British colonization in the first place, assuming you’re not going for bullshit like “god gave our King that holy right”.

What no, I’m talking of the 1830s. The British came back and expelled the Argentinian settlement, and settled back in.

They came back because the Argentinians occupied it.

I see two different reasons for a claim for Argentina: that they settled when there was no permanent occupation, like the French and the British did originally, and that they inherited Spain’s claim (who purchased the French settlement) following their independence from Spain.

My post was mostly going for humour, but if we’re looking at it a bit seriously, England’s claim is a colonial one, a legacy from a bygone era. They will inevitably have to cede the islands.

Yes it did. Argentina’s “Venticinco de Mayo” revolution in 1810 made it independent, though a formal declaration happened only in 1816 (technically “the United provinces of the Rio del la Plata”, that’s being nitpicky).

Let’s recap islands history:

Deserted, no permanent population.

French set up a settlement.

English makes another, fight the French.

Spain buys French port, fights British.

Britain leaves.

Spain leaves.

Deserted, no permanent population.

Argentina sets up a settlement.

England comes back, fight them off.

Conclusion: “rightfully British”? The law seems to be whoever smacks the other in the teeth and takes it by force, so I suppose that’s accurate.

However, having had a settlement in the island, Argentina’s claim is as valid as the UKs, and they just got smacked in the teeth so my verdict is that Argentina takes over administrative control over the Islands up until such time as they meet again in a world cup.

“African American” is such a weird subset of people. Like, aren’t all humans from Africa? Then why is this term used only for black people?

Or do they mean to specify the African diaspora caused by the slave trade? But then aren’t we wrongfully including people who moved freely on their own to the US, and those that may even come from other regions?

I get that the word is basically a synonym for black people but with less attached prejudice. I’m just sad that we live in a world where that prejudice still exists.

Does it still look like it’s from 1998?

It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore…

Today I learned.

My best guess is that they didn’t want to go all the way (either a virgin, or no contraception available), but agreed to “fake it” by holding the dick between their closed thighs. Which was obviously a ruse, because Linux.
