What is your opinion on it?

Who do you think the falklands belong to?

Do you think the war was fair?

The Argentine soldiers weren't paid their pensions, nor did they get physiatrist treatment.

Hey a war was fought and a country took the land. Doesn't matter who it "should" belong to.

Falkland Islands sovereignty referendum, 2013

"Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?"

Yes - 1,513 - 99.8%
No - 3 - 0.2%
Voter turnout - 91.94%

No. Just, no. If you surveyed everyone in the United States, or anywhere in the world, and asked them what colour the sky was, you wouldn't get more than 90% saying it's blue, possibly lower.

I am serious. Come back when you've surveyed everyone, asking them why the sky is blue.

Sorry, I'm a bit tired, I meant, come back when you've asked everyone what colour the sky was. ~10% won't tell you it's blue.

Some of them are, but that is assuming 10% of people on Earth, or wherever you take the survey are colourblind. I am not saying all of them are colourblind, I am just saying that getting over 90% of one answer on a survey is possible.

Though, the Falklands had a smaller population than I thought, and that could help your statement, but what you said seems a bit outdated. You're saying that 1,516 is 91% of the population, that isn't true. If 1,516 is 91% of the population, you're saying the population of the Falklands is 1,648, this isn't so. The population of the Falklands is at ~2100, circa 2012.

I also have an article from the Guardian newspaper that says less than a third of people who live in the Falklands identify as British. If you don't identify being a nationality of a country, why'd you want your territory to be a part of that country?

From 1817-1834, Argentina owned Falklands until England took it over.
So, Argentina deserves it.

Source: BBC

"Britain claimed the whole of the Falklands in 1765"
"In 1820, newly-independent Argentina claimed sovereignty, and later founded a settlement. Britain established control over the islands in 1833 in support of its own earlier claim to sovereignty, and expelled the Argentine garrison."

I don't care that Argentina had it before, their people want to be British and that's all that counts as long as the UK wants them as well

It doesn't matter who deserves it, it's about who owns it. The UK owns it, period.
