An online magic 8-ball just said I was cool :)
You of all the people , being a programmer should know that that is a bunch of fooey thrown into a random generator
I've just found this about the GNU/Linux naming argue: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_M_Stallman_Vs._Linus_Torvalds
It isn't what if they read your text and if it was the same it gave you answers from the "yes" array
:P
:P
What? War of Independance? What's that? That never happened. Our history textbook says so. We've never lost a war :P
And now, for a little derailment.
What about the half-assed invasions you guys pulled on us? Twice. To this day, I read it and I can't believe it.
During the first one, we literally captured your flags, and we still have them. Now that's just humiliating.

Any source on political information is untrustworthy. All maps printed in the country show the Falklands and a chunk of Antarctica as national territory, even though no one else recognizes either claim.

Personally, I think the Falklands (you call it the Malvinas, right?) should be part of Argentina... but it isn't my decision.
Anyway, we pwned your arses at Port Stanley :P
And yeah, the Spanish Armada... what a failure that was.
By the way, DrChill; we maintain that if not for the French supplying you with guns we would have won that war >:(
Anyway, I don't want to start a flame war... We'll end up initiating "The Second Falklands War".
Finally, the only thing to do with the British military I like is these guys:

Win!

Before this thread goes any closer to the 'Falklands', can I respectfully request you don't go there!
Erm...

Could you have said that earlier???
Hint: zoom in on the plane

"Second"? Surely you mean "Nth".
Anyway, I'd be the last person to start a flame war about this. I don't really care wither way. If the islanders wanted to join the republic, it'd be a different matter, but they clearly feel and speak English.
Besides, that war would have been truly devastating for our side if we had won. Losing was the beginning of the end of the dictatorship. It's a good thing the military was so stupid.
Now, what I'd really like is for the government to stop fighting a lost battle, forget about those damn islands, and stop teaching the children BS.
EDIT: I'm not sure what I'm looking at, here.

It was a joke. Grey Wolf said not to get "closer to the Falklands".
The picture shows a bad drawing of a plane going to the Falklands...

That we won just because of the french is an interesting topic .... But where was Lord Cornwallis when the french arrived (FINALY ARRIVED) he was in his little house :P
The french:

The french:
| In March 1781, in response to the threat of Cornwallis, General Washington had dispatched Marquis de Lafayette to defend Virginia. |

No, we don't learn anything about it. If you take history for GCSE (as I (regrettably) did) (by the way, GCSE means "General Certificate of Secondary Education". It's basically a bunch of tests we have to take in year (Grade?) 10 & 11), you learn about Cowboys and stuff, and we did your Civil War, but not the War of Independence. I guess that came way before though.

| Do your textbooks really blot it (The Battle for Independence) out? |
I doubt it is blotted out, it may not be on the syllabus for GCSE and thus not included in a text for said.
But the thing is, technical, the war of independence was a civil war; so again we were fighting ourselves.
