I think he's just jealous because of all the things the UK has given the world. What has France given it? Not a lot.

Well technically when the Normans ( Normandy, Northern France ) conquered Britain, they helped mould us in to the country we are today. I also think they helped sales of white flags during the world war lol.

The real reason you oppose returning the Falklands is because it would be just another painful reminder of the demise of your nation's empire and increasing global irrelevancy.

Actually the real reason; which nobody seems to have mentioned, is the possibility of controlling the oil that is about to be mined there. Argentina would not give two hoots about the Falklands if it was not for this. The very fact that you have not even mentioned oil shows how little you really know about the situation this time around.
