lol, cuba.

I've read that Cuba is awesome.

[moonshield]

from Sean?

[Generalissimo]

No, I've never wrote that Cuba is awesume until I made this post just now. But it is, you American's don't know what you're missing, just because your nation is so hegemonious it doesn't want a non-american state in the Americas, if there wasn't the blockade (which really the sanctions on Cuba are), Cuba would be thriving in relation to similar states in the area that chose the american model, so the USA puts embargos on Cuba to stop this, and promotes Jingoism in it's population for it's policies. You might be thinking, well wouldn't the media report this, the answer is because the media get the majority of their funds for advertisers, and the advertisers want this embargo on Cuba as they want all the other countries to believe a globalist capitalist economy is best, so the people who are advertising can exploit those countries.

moonshield: no Read Peter Moore's 'The Full Montezuma' if you can find it - he writes that the Cubans are some of the friendliest people in central america

Ive heard from lots of people (well at least 2 ) that Cuba is great to visit

[moonshield]

heh, and the Cubans in Miami are considered unfriendly, guess thats why they move to the US!

[Generalissimo]

The Cubans in Miami are mostly those who left because they were capitalist business owners. They have attacked Cuba is CIA help often, and dropped propoganda on the island. Eventually Cuba had enough of the propoganda being dropped and shot down one of the planes doing it.

Well, Chris, I hope you had a pleasant vacation.

[Chris]

People jumping on rafts to escape Cuba, at great personal risk, is probably the best indicator of the quality of life there.

[MarkB]

What's Jamaica like, Chris?

[Mike]

Yeah I've always wondered what that would be like, a few friends have been but I never have.

And why is there that poor quality standard? Because of the US embargo.

You do realize, don't you, that if you lived in Cuba you would not be allowed to own and operate your website publishing business? This would be true with or without the US embargo.

[Generalissimo]

I know that. And I support it. I feel the best sociatal form is socialist-libertarianism. I would happily give up my website publishing business for a social change which would be fairer for everyone.
