I forgot. If you completely vanquish your enemy there is no time limit. Tough crap for the American Indians. They were not allowed to have an independent government so they don't get their territory back.



They shouldn't have to do anything a government that is not of their choosing wants them to do. Their great-grandchildren should be allowed to live on the island under their own government if they want to.

You are the only one who has come up with some sort of arbitrary time that coincidentally lines up with everything that the UK has done. Again, I have no such time limit for the US. I can imagine that there are pacific islands under US control that should be relinquished. I don't make up excuses and a random magical time deadline to excuse everything for the US, like you have done with the UK.

How did you come up with your magical cutoff date? Did you just look at what the UK did and go with what was best for them?

Then it would be legal for China to invade let s say Alaska , bring
30 millions chineses there and wait for one or two centuries and then
see her conquest branded legitimate by Infohoax s grandchildren.....

Yup, pretty much.

The thing is that Infohawk will then enact an arbitrary time deadline that he likes and has no basis in reality.

So there are no time limits? You must think the US should give its entire territory back to the native americans given that its entire territory was taken by conquest?

I have no time limits. If another nation is making a claim, then it should be resolved.

In contrast, you have looked at UK activity and then decided on a time limited based on the UK activity.

Moreover, as I've already stated, the Malvinas are so isolated that this is probably the easiest solution in the entire world.

You don't care about duration of possession, but you don't think the native americans get their territory back because they were completely conquered? That's a pretty silly distinction. Or do you think the native americans get all their territory back?

If there is another nation that claims American territory based on their native (or any other) rights, then I have no time limit. Everything should be evaluated.

How have you come up with a time deadline that coincidentally matches up with UK actions? This is such a great coincidence. What is your time deadline based off of? UK history?

For me, I have no time deadlines for illegitimate activity. If there is an issue between two nations, then there is no time deadline that rewards illegitimate activity, especially if that issue can be resolved very easily.

Please explain your time deadline in detail. I would appreciate it.

There is such a nation. The native american nations want all their land back. Do you agree they should get it now? Are you ready to move?

That isn't a nation. Sorry, just because something has 'nation' in its name doesn't mean that it's a nation in the international context of the word. Do you think that the Nation of Islam is a nation, too?

Please elaborate on your time deadline that conveniently awards everything to the UK.

So again, you ignore the group rights of peoples that have been completely defeated? If only the UK had defeated of all Argentina, they would have no issues right now! They should have been more aggressive in South America! Think about how ridiculous that its. The UK is the bad guy for taking a small island. The US doesn't get to hear claims by native americans because it completely annihilated them.

What is this time deadline called? Is it the "Everything that the UK does is good" time?

I am really curious about this time deadline. How come it magically lines up with UK activity? Is this all a coincidence?

I don't know what time deadline you're talking about.

Why do US get free pass on the native american claims simply because they were aggressive enough to commit genocide on their enemy?

The time deadline that you're using to say that everything that the UK has done here is OK because it satisfies your time deadline.

How did you come up with this?

I didn't. You made it up.

Why won't you elaborate on your magical time deadline that rewards UK activity?

I am not surprised at all that your entire world view centers around a pro-UK mindset.

Why did you edit your post? You said you couldn't believe that I thought nation of Islam was a nation...

No, you came up with the idea that the UK owns the Malvinas because a certain amount of time has passed.

So what is your time deadline? How did you come up with this and how does it magically align with UK activity?

Please elaborate on this ludicrous idea of your arbitrary time cutoff date.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possession_is_nine-tenths_of_the_law

Have you ever heard of that expression? The UK has possessed the island for more than 150 years.

And can you please explain why you posted the thing about the nation of Islam? What was that about?

That link has nothing to do with your time deadline. Your argument must be really bad if you can't even explain your own position.

Again:

If you don't want to answer my questions but keep ranting about a time deadline, I guess there's nothing left to say.

Sorry you've become increasingly juvenile to the point of doing quick edits about the nation of Islam... at this point you won't answer my questions and keep harping about a deadline that only applies to the UK that I don't believe in. I don't think there's anything left to say to you on this.

You're the one who came up with this bizarre argument of time deadlines, so I am asking you to elaborate on it. Instead, you've been avoiding it for quite some time and instead posted an irrelevant Wikipedia link.

Your argument is so horrendous that you can't even explain it yourself?

Here are the questions:
You came up with the idea that the UK owns the Malvinas because a certain amount of time has passed.

1. So what is your time deadline?
2.How did you come up with this
3. how does it magically align with UK activity?

Look, if you think that your argument was bad and you want to take it back, then just admit it. It's not that big of a deal.
