You need to stop making the threads about yourself if you don't people to treat you like that.
Of course it is. Talk of the topic, not the posters. I can find many idiotic posts from you that would suggest various bias from you (mainly white supremacist), but I'm not. Why? Because it has no direct bearing on the topic. This forum is about politics and news, not posters of politics and news.
Yup. Infohawk just has his own personal vendettas and he'll do anything to constantly derail threads and turn them into a 'personal soap opera' (I like that term for him). Even this thread is evidence of his soap opera tendencies.
One time he even accused me of being off-topic in a thread for talking about an off topic subject when only one person brought up the off topic subject and nobody else commented on it except for Infohawk! It was a good example of his attempt to turn everything into his own personal soap opera. He has even tried with this thread, but I try not to let him ruin everything that he posts in.
Can you stick to the topic rather than attacking other posters please.
I don't think Infohawk is the topic here. I'm still waiting for you to provide proof on several open lines of discussion.

You spend far too much time bitching about perceived "racism", not enough time providing substance and proof, and I'll not waste my time further on you.
But you can't get eggs and you can't get vegetables. South America once traded happily with the islanders, supplying all their needs. But Buenos Aires has been working hard to cut the islands off.
Recently, Argentina persuaded other South American countries to turn away from their ports Falklands-flagged vessels. Ships rounding Cape Horn heading for the Falklands are routinely stopped, searched and delayed, so much so that merchant vessels have largely given up trying.
Argentina has also restricted air traffic. There is one flight a week from Chile. Argentina won't allow more than this to pass through its airspace. Now Argentina is threatening to close even this last link with mainland South America.
I would like to stick to the topic. I usually do, but sometimes it's difficult when someone is intentionally derailing the thread. You need to point it out in order to get back to the actual issues on hand.
Can you please stick to the topic as well? I would appreciate it.
It seems that Argentina's plan on making the Malvinas difficult to maintain is starting to show.
A shortage of eggs
I've been thinking that Cristina Fernández should be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. This might be a peaceful method of forcing the dismantling of the British Empire.

Fascinating. It really just shows how the UK has no connection to the Malvinas and how Argentina with South America behind it can make the Malvinas nonviable for the UK.
I hope that they also cut off the air link or at least charge a tremendous amount of money for it.

Merely minutes after complaining about the attention you were getting, you are back seeking attention.
Ideas are different than people.
A Nobel Peace Prize for nearly provoking a war and making the citizens of the islands suffer in an effort to seize territory from another nation to satisfy one's own nation's desire for colonization? The Nobel has gone downhill of late, but that'd really be the last straw for it. No chance she deserves it.
Shows how little the Argentinians think of civil rights.

I characterize it completely differently. She has repeatedly stated that she wishes no war, decrying the militarization of the South Atlantic.
She is showing a model for the peaceful dismantling of the Empire. This can be replicated elsewhere in the world.
How so? You think that officials don't have the right to inspect cargo vessels going through their territory?

Depends if they are using the same rules for everyone. You are non-discriminatory aren't you?
If Argentina can resolve this through diplomatic and economic means, then it would be a great accomplishment, especially in light of the 1982 war. It can show that diplomacy and economics can get you a just position. I think that an example this would then be used by other countries. If used elsewhere, then I think that she may very well be awarded the NPP.
Though I do feel that the Nobel Prize is nothing special, but that's for another thread.
She is showing a model for how to make the citizens of the island suffer for her country's imperial ambitions. That isn't peaceful, that is not humanitarian, that's aggression from a country too militarily weak to enforce its desires.
I think that countries can inspect cargo from any country based on whatever they want.
For example, I would be fine if Argentina only does this for Malvinas-bound vessels and also for UK vessels. That would be fine.
Indeed they can but rules are supposed to be applied to everyone equally.
Do you think the UK navy should stop all Argentinian vessels and search them for drugs?
Even if I agreed with Argentina's position and wanted the UK to give up the Islands there's no way I would call economic bullying a great achievement.
