That was AWESOME!!!!













EDIT: I was just listening to that Pink Floyd album "The Final Cut" and it got me thinking about all of that. While I was too young to remember it all going on or maybe not even born, i did watch a History Channel Special on it and WOW. That's all I gotta say.

EDIT 2: And by saying it was Awesome, I dont mean that its good that there was war, but really, just the way the UK put on its gameface and crossed the Atlantic with some Marines. Just an XTREMEly excellent display of power.

EDIT 3: Ok, yes, Im drunk:p

it was totally sweet -and- awesome!

I loved how everyone got upset about an island no one really wanted :devil:

I think 100 yrs ago a dude named Balfour even suggested relocated a certain group of people from the other side of the world to Argentia cuz they apparently had unused land.

Oh, don't cry for me Argentia.
