So, you don't mind taking the benefits of this nation, and will gladly take whatever you can from it, including our tax dollars, but will head for the hills if you ever have to do something for America, is that correct?

I'm sorry if that seems like I am being a jerk, but the way you wrote it, I don't really know how else to take the tone.
Please don't buy into the libby's scare tactics regarding a draft, you aren't going anywhere unless you join the military, then you should expect to go somewhere and stand fast. |

An acquaintance of mine in grad school was Argentinian, and he got drafted for the Falklands War. He wasn't looking forward to fighting the British, but he ended up guarding some mountain outpost near Chile, so he never saw any action. I always wondered if that was dumb luck, or if his family knew enough people for him to do a Bush or Clinton. |

I was not born in the US, this is really not my country, Do i benefit from school, work and such, but I pay taxes too... I cant vote, I get harrased at airports pre 9/11 and after... whatever If I had to do something for America I would do it, I am American, (South), but if the US wants to go to war vs Syria/Iran/ Russia/N Korea and China... I will go back home and stay Neutral... |

Heh. I never thought about that vis a vis the Monroe Doctrine.

Of course the US helped the UK during the Falklands war. You say that like it's a surprise. The UK is our closest ally and they most likely always will be. The Monroe doctrine had nothing to do with this war. In addition the Monroe doctrine is an outdated philosophy that is not used today. |

Now, a little history lesson, back in the 1800's, the falkland islands (malvinas) were property of Spain, when Argentina declared their Independance in and around 1816-1820, they became property of Argentina, For some f'ed up reason back in the 1820's, the US declared the Islands free and the UK took them away.... The US declared them free of Argentine rule because the Argentina gov had captured and jailed 3 US Citizen fisherman on the island. Am I mad, no, but thats f'ed up... |

In that time frame the UK and US were still colonial powers. I agree It's f***ed up by todays standards because it would violate various laws but back then if your country was militarily stronger than many times they took the lands of less powerful countries and called it a day. Not fair but much of history is like that.

Hey Mr.Argentine man, what happens if you get caught with a firearm? slap on the wrist, at most. Me, I get 5 years. Even for just holding it. Illegal border jumper gets off scott free, even though they break the law just by being here. Path toward citizenship, welfare, and you ask how they have more rights than an ex felon? Get a clue or go back :hmmm:
