Good to see democracy in action. If you do not agree with this person then your a dipshit.

Have you noticed that you've been saying that you want to go to Cuba to take advantage of all the free education and health care? I don't see you saying that you want to go there to work for improving the country, it sounds to me like you just want all the free stuff you can get.

and since when does someone have to work long hours in a coal mine in order to be meritocratic? You seem to have a slim view of what meritocracy is.

and when did I ever say that people in Cuba "do not earn it"? I suggested that YOU wouldn't earn it because all you talk about is the free stuff you can get. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

If you had made threads stating that you wanted to go to Cuba to contribute to the country, you might get respect. Instead, you made threads where you've said you want to go to Cuba because you can get a home, education, and health care provided for you.

hard to face the truth right :pimp
don't think twice - its ok and you will never need to change your way of life and thinking.You will die absolutely clueless .....happy you

he/she just confirmed what I said - exactly what said :1orglaugh
I love those US people

So what you're saying is you'd rather give up on life and not have to try to get ahead. Not have to work to get more for yourself and your family.

What you're saying is that you, like every other communist in the world, are a bum.

look I also prefer capitalism but I think he is trying to say that those people are ok with their lives.
I think eskymos are also happy to sleep on the snow - and I am sure they would never change it for living in the desert.

Did I say that?

I thought I said I wanted better health and education. I thought I say I wanted to improve by getting a phd in a subject.

What an odd thing to say!!!

In fact, I find Cuba has more to offer me - to live.

I live in the UK, I see heath care getting worse. I see the police do nothing but arrest old ladies for feeding birds and do not come out if children are setting fire to cars.

I will not comment on the USA as I do not live there, so its not fair for me to do so.

But I went to university to improve myself. But now I find that people are no happier working if they earn min wage or earning big money in a big firm.

Yes you are right, many Cubans are having fun all day on the beach. So what?

On one argument you say Cubans are living in misery, then you say they are having too much fun. Make up your minds.

For those who think Cuba is wrong, answer me these questions:

1. Do you believe Cuba has a poor health system (even thought the UN and others say its one of the best) and its free?

2. Do you not think that Cubans have great education?

3. Do you believe Castro does not love his people. Do you believe that everything he has done has not been to improve there lives?

Does it not scare you in fact to think that for years you have been fed the bull shit crap that the Cuban system does not work? In fact if you even thought that the Cuban system could work (and clearly it does), does that mean you have lived a lie. Its a scary thought.

Nope, I never said that. That was someone else.

Cuba is a prison country. It`s cool when you are tourist but very uncool when you are citizen

Ive been to Cuba. Its fucking great for a holliday. Ive also been to the states, also great for a holliday.

When we was in the states we left where the tourist areas were and it was still great, infact better out of the tourist areas.

When we was in Cuba we decided to get out of the tourist area and do some traveling. Two things to mention. 1. The Cubans are great people. But 2nd, while we was traveling outside the Cuban tourist areas it was like being in a third world country. We went into a shop to try and get some food as finding any sort of places to eat in small villages is actually very hard. I went into this one shop, they had one shoe on the shelf. Thats all they had, one shoe not even a pair on sale.

The moral is, I'll take paying for health care and having two shoes any day over Cuba.... But like I say great for a holliday

It was probably a healthy and educated shoe though. :winkwink:

Never heard of a film being banned here. Are you sure you got your facts straight?

Poor Cuba, trains US Doctors.

June 2000, when a group from the Congressional Black Caucus visited Cuban president Fidel Castro. Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) described huge areas in his district where there were no doctors, and Castro responded with an offer of full scholarships for U.S. citizens to study at ELAM. Later that year, Castro spoke at the Riverside Church in New York, reiterating the offer and committing 500 slots to U.S. students who would pledge to practice in poor U.S. communities.

I don't know who I would kill first........Castro or Oliver Stone.

1. Do you believe Cuba has a poor health system (even thought the UN and others say its one of the best) and its free?

I would say that Cuba's health care system sucks since they cannot even obtain modern medical equipment.

I haven't seen the documentary yet but I'm hoping to see it soon...

Project_Naugty - Have you attempted to make a single valid point in this thread, or do you think being childish and calling people names makes you look intelligent?

Cuba is a beautiful country, the people are some of the friendliest there are, tourists are welcomed and treated like kings (and queens). Castro has in his hands a shining example of a communist country that truely lives up to the communist ideals. Not only do the people of Cuba think Castro is a great man, they seem to be a very happy people, as well.

Er, now call me a dipshit, Project_Naughty, because I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about. Right?

You're a fucking idiot.

Not only that but you're an ignorant fucking idiot.

:1orglaugh

That's a load of shit. The ones who float to FLA every year are the greedy ones or the ones (anti-Castro) who the Cuban gov't are after.

I spend a lot of time in Cuba and can tell you first hand that most Cubans LOVE CUBA and would not leave if given the chance. They are proud of their country and realize they are in a tough spot, but they love Cuba just the same.

Go there and see for yourself. Poverty? yes. Misery? some of them. But would they ALL pack up and leave if given the chance... no way. They just want a little better life and access to the same things and comfort we have.

Cuba is not North Korea where they all live in slave labor camps.

Say what you will about Castro. That man is a genius. A stubborn fucker, but a genius. Do your homework on him and find out why the US really put an embargo against Cuba. The US feared him and his gaining popularity among Latin America. He became a threat to our national security (so they say) so they shut him out and tried to assassinate him several times.

I have studied Fidel Castro (and Che Guevara) in great detail and find him an amazing person. If given the dream chance to meet one person.... it would be him. While I do not agree with everything he does, his ideas are indeed revolutionary.

I'm European actually, and it's dipshits like you and AllanUK who give Europeans a bad name.
Dumb fucking 17 year olds. Go get an education.

Amen to that!!

as a side note, cuba is damn good at sports!!!

never even heard of this before, will definately check it out now!
