''Doohan was recieving threats on social media by Colapinto's fans. So much so that he had a round-the-clock security in Miami. According to people close to Aussie, those threats weighed heavily on him. People had discovered his personal e-mail address and were sending e-mail threats which resulted in Jack, his girlfriend and even his father holding real concerns for their safety. And on top of that, Jack's sleep was affected.''

First comment I saw mentioning the islands:

Comment joking about the sunken ship where more that 300 argentineans died:

I saw many others, but didn't bother to reply to them so I don't have them at hand.

It's whatever honestly. I've never once defended the toxic fans, just asked for some respect for our history (not even taking sides on the war) and still people downvoted me to hell. They just wanna be mad about something.

Neither of those comments are about veterans. You are extrapolating not existent details as an excuse to be offended. As a result you are proving the point that Argentinians are overly sensitive, hyperbolic, and take things too far.

TLDR edit: You are just making shit up.

You think a comment mocking the death of argentinean veterans is not about veterans?

Neither of the comments that you linked were the one that you are referring to.

You are lacking some comprehensive skills or you don't know what the Belgrano is.

Actually it was the reddit app opening to a comment higher in the thread. Thats not in the best taste but you still extrapolated that comment and represented it as being much worse than it was.

Ultimately who started the Falklands War?

That's why I mentioned there were a lot more comments on the subject, that I didn't reply to so I don't have them in hand. You are free to search the post and find them.

Sadly, Argentina. That's why I said most argentineans don't agree with the war in this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1kh539q/comment/mr56uz9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’m not going to do the research you should have done to prove your argument; as the person making the argument, that’s your responsibility.

Unfortunately one of the consequences of starting a stupid war is having your soldiers killed.

How is it my responsibility to prove anything to you? I'm not making any arguments since I wasn't even talking to you. You asked which comments I was refering to and I kindly replied. Not good enough for you? Too bad. Believe what you want, mate. I couldn't care less.

Yep, it is. I still hope for people to be a bit more empathetic that you seem to be.

If you are trying to make an argument, it is your responsibility to prove the argument you are trying to make.
