No it wasn't, I suggest you check the terms of the leases and which territories they covered.
You will no doubt note that the walled city in the new territories was never leased to Britain and that Hong Kong island itself and the land south of the new territories were not under lease from China.

But those three votes were the Holy Trinity!

I don't think that God's eligible to vote, though. He isn't a citizen of any country!

Damn beuracracy! :/\\!!

Since she is omnipresent she is a citizen of all countries.

No you're not!

Besides that, you also have the fact that the citizens of Hong Kong never stood up as one body & stated publicly that they wished to remain a British dependancy, something that the Falklands have been doing for decades.

Another point (& it's a big one) Hong Kong wasn't first settled by the British, unlike the Falklands.

You mean besides your very basic error?

You mean that the British governement never allowed a referendum don't you.

Are these the decades including the British government stripping them of their passport rights without heeding their objections or are these a different Falklands you are on about?

You should know full well that first settlement happens to be a matter of dispute.

Exactly. Can't argue that the British weren't there long before the Argentinians.

Incorrect, the French were there first, they ceded their claim to the Spanish and the Spanish ceded their claim to Argentina.
That means that the Argentinian claim predates the British claim as it is a territorial legacy issue.

It is the land of god.
and God is with the british.
because....
errrr...
gotta go. Phone's ringing.


That woman is Nuts.
The Pope is Nuts.

This thread is pointless.

It's a natural resource and voter gathering (on both sides) issue.

Nice little video which covers the history

That doesn't explain why at a Christening the other week the vicar said that it could only be done in a church 'to be in front of god'.

Oh, the hypocracy of religions. :D

And this is the first thread I've created where somebody has said it's pointless. Although some may have thought it.

Are you trying to prove that the Heritage foundation are brainless muppets?



Herr Berbunch, you could have got them to do an open air christening in Galway, just dip the baby in the river jordan.
Might be a bit cold yet though.

Well, Im not into religion nor do I care about any pope but back in the 60's during the cuban missile crisis? Guess who negotiated with the US and Russia. Pope John Paul II.

In many documentations about this topic it was mentioned that his negotiations have been what saved us some "bright moments".

I can't say how accurate those reports are though.

I (want to) believe it, so the church finally did something good... But that's just me.
