Laird Lugton Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sean Penn accuses Britain of 'colonialism' over Falklands Linky to Sean Penn At a meeting with Argentine president Cristina Kirchner, the Left-wing Hollywood actor referred to the islands "the Malvinas Islands of Argentina" and said Britain should entered into a UN-sponsored dialogue over their sovereignty."The world today is not going to tolerate any ludicrous and archaic commitment to colonialist ideology," he said during the meeting in Buenos Aires. Here's a great rebuttal by Tim Stanley... Linky to rebuttal I’d like to make a statement about the growing crisis in the Americas. It’s time for justice. It’s time for liberty. It’s time to end the ludicrous and archaic commitment to colonialist ideology. It’s time Sean Penn handed his Malibu estate back to the Mexicans.

BRAD1927 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 If Sean Penn is so worried about colonialism maybe he should get the hell out of Argentina, go back to his own country, and start working on handing it back to the American Indians... :blush: :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Scholl Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sean Penn is just a d-bag moonbat. Don't pay any attention to him. IMO the easiest way to settle the Falklands dispute would be to park a carrier group right outside of the island chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one problem with that though Doc, we've scrapped most of ours and the ones we do have don't have planes as we scrapped them as well. We could send the RNLI though.

Imperfection Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Before Sean Penn opens him mouth he ought to engage his brain first then give America back to the native indians if he wants to pull that stroke.His career has obviously stalled (did it ever get going?) and needs to say something controversial for attention.

Gimlet Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Penn is a fool who needs to read some history books. Argentina has no more claim to the Falklands than does Spain to Portugal merely because it happens to be next door. Colonialism means the taking over, whether by force of arms or economic might, the territory and administration of an established country by a foreign power. As the population of the Falklands are British citizens by choice and the islands recognized as British territory in International law, it is Argentina with its ambition to occupy foreign territory and expell or subjugate its lawful inhabitants who are the colonialists.

I think he believes we still practise slavery and wear pith helmets. I could see him lending a hand to the Argies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather on the news over here there's more chance of JFK appearing as a judge on American idol than there is of US assistance on this one......................... But then on second thoughts there is lots of oil down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88b Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Perhaps Mr Penn should start by asking Obama to hand Hawaii back to it's owners, but I do believe Dr Scholl has described Penn perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then on second thoughts there is lots of oil down there Oil? Really?! In that case, we'll be right down. We didn't directly intervene during the last Falklands War, but we did help a little. I believe we let the British use one of our bases for refueling on the trek down there. And we sold the RAF a bunch of AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles which were used on the Harriers. The AIM-9L's were a lot more effective than the missiles the Harriers used before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I think our bond with the states was a lot stronger then, Reagun was definitely behind us. I sense a lot of negativity from Baracko, he wouldn't lend us so much as a nato round were there to be a rematch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
