Castro. The last of the greats is Dead. Entering an Era of Mediocrity

a reply to: Willtell

bye bye

It really makes me certain to leave this form pretty soon because the intelligence level has gone so low

how are you planing to leave your form exactly, i'm too ignorant to understand and it seems it cannot be a fail in your communication, at least it gives the impression that possibility never crossed your mind

a reply to: Willtell

So you respect a man for being a full blown oppressor rather that a political inconvenience like Obama?

I think you have your priorities mixed up. No American starved under Obama or as a result of his policies. In Cuba, there is an entire nation of starving people. As much as I dislike Obama, I have to say I respect him over Castro any day of the week.

so you wont do it, ok

Not today. Don't even have a body if water that large nearby.

over 1 in 4 rafter is estimated to die leaving cuba, about 16000 over the period castro was president. clearly not a risk at all

Out of 1.5 million. About 1‰. So 4% rafted. That means 96% did not take that risk.

That reminds me of a story someone told me.

An uncle of his had recently come over from Cuba. And his family took him to a supermarket here in Miami for the first time.

The man broke down crying in the supermarket. He could not believe what he was seeing.

Apparently in Cuba there's barely anything and the government is lying constantly about it.

Ignorant statement, keep moving the goal post, some day you will get there.

If you dint knew, until 1980 Fidel allowed to leave the country and there were boatlift and airlift to us, after that ended the only way to escape the island was to defect while on a official trip, or by raft.

Yeah, Castro was a great man, so were Hitler, Stalin and Mao, if only the world had more of these types of men, we would be so much better off!

a reply to: Indigent

That is like saying that the only way into the US is overstaying a visa or "walking" across and facing the risk of dying in the desert.

It isn't. My goalposts are in the same spot.

a reply to: daskakik

Cubans could not exit the country without a permit of the state until 2013, permit only given for official trips, like going to Olympics to represent Cuba and such, how exactly were they leaving any other way?

Like Russia?

Tight fit but not a raft.

a reply to: daskakik

smugglers are safe?, circle back to my original point... your where something about the length of the sea?

You are a big fan of murdering political dissidents and rounding up gay people into forced labor camps?

a reply to: Indigent

Being smuggled in a boat is not rafting. You did post a picture of a raft and told me to take the trip on a board.

Of course none of those is crossing the sea. You couldn't refute that.

That's a sign of a good leader, your country is so good that people risk their live crossing the sea to leave.

My message was clear, people risk their lives to escape, you just have problems.

NOT for anti corruption,human rights.
A RATHER obvious notion ...DUH.
Wonder if they want to OFF his brother or not?

a reply to: Indigent

And the crossing the sea part was hyperbole on your part.

People leave for many reasons. Taking a shot at a better life isn't an indicator of what life is like there. People from all parts of the planet take that risk.

a reply to: daskakik

Risking dying in the sea to be a hobo in Puerto Rico, according to marg6043, seems to me a pretty big indication of how bad your current life is.

a reply to: Willtell

Great?

I know some Cubans here in the States that would most vociferously disagree with you. Not quite to the point of violence, but close.

They only lost everything, and nearly everyone, dear to them. Great? Hardly.

a reply to: Indigent

Cherry picking. Pointing out the expetions to the rule doesn't prove you right.

a reply to: daskakik

what? marg6043 is not a good source now? but when you quoted her...
