Falkland Problems

Welcome back!

So I'm addicted to the news, both international and national alike. What's caught my eye recently has been the issue going on in Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Now, for all who are unaware with the issue, let me explain.  The Falklands are a pair of islands about 300 miles off the coast of Argentina which have belonged to England since 1830. Argentina has wanted the Falklands for quite some time and claim sovereignty over the islands even though the natives have said multiple times that they want to remain British.

Let me remind you before going any further, England has been in control of the islands for 182 years...182 freakin' years.

Argentina went so far as to invade them in 1982 but were ousted by the British shortly after.  Now Argentina is pitching a hissy fit as this is the 30th anniversary of that war. To show everybody how dumb this whole issue is, I will portray this as a soap opera. Argentina will be played by Carlos, England as Harold, and the Falkland Islands as Beth. Harold and Beth are married.

Carlos: Hey Harold!  Beth is my girl!  Get away from her!

Harold: What are you talking about Carlos?

Carlos: You heard me gringo! She's mine, I saw her first.

Harold: Firstly, I'm not a gringo... that's the Americans.  Secondly, she's my wife, we've been married for 182 years.

Carlos: Yeah, well before you were married she was my lover and I want her back.

(Harold turns to Beth)

Harold: Well, what do you say Beth?  Do you want to go off with Carlos?  It's your choice after all and I'll respect your decision.

Beth: Actually, I'd prefer staying with you Harold.

Harold: You heard her Carlos, she wants to stay with me.

Carlos: Oh yeah?  She doesn't know what's good for her.

(Carlos attempts to steal Beth. Harold decks him hard and takes Beth back.)

Carlos: OW! Man that hurt! What was that for?!

Harold: You tried to steal my wife against her will, you think I'm just going to stand by and watch?

Carlos: I see how it is gringo.  You're not going to get away with this.  Hey Beth, te dare $100,000 si vienes conmigo. (translation: I'll give you $100,000 if you come with me.)

Beth: You know I don't speak Spanish Carlos, besides I'm just not interested in the money. I love my husband.

Harold: See Carlos? She's not interested. Besides, you should worry about your own debts which you haven't paid off. Oh yeah, and I'm not a gringo.

Carlos: You think you're so tough coming in here and stealing my girl. Well, let's just see what the legal system says about this!

To Be Continued.

Now, I've got nothing against Argentina, but this has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
