You're right of course, anything which is hard to define at the
borders is nonexistent. I have been trying to persuade Argentina of
this. It is the Politically Correct position that, because race is
fuzzy at the edges, race does not exist. Anyone who disagrees with
this, of course, is A Nazi Who Wants To Kill Six Million Jews.
I have tried to explain this to Argentinians, but they keep saying
Argentina exists. That is probably a violation of the Genocide Treaty.
We all knwo there is a dispute as to whether the Falkland Islands
are part of Argentina or not. The border of Argentina, in short, is
fuzzy at the edges. Therefore, accoring to the PC version of the
Genocide Treay, there is no Argentina.
You must join me in my battle to persuade Argentina that it does
not exist.
