| 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. |

| 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Falklands had a smaller population than I thought, and that could help your statement, but what you said seems a bit outdated.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. |

"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. |
