yea totally without interference from capitalist nations. idiot. america literally runs a concentration camp on cuban soil.

So presumably they are paying rent to the commies. But then since CUba is a concentration camp complete with guns to keep the citizens in perhaps you are merely mistaken as to who is running the camp.

Apparently not. You love repeating the line that socialism is great until you run out of other people's money, but you haven't noticed that that's what happens in advanced capitalist economies. Booms are when we spend (and overspend) wealth and busts are when the money runs out, or we realize it never existed. The credit crunch and recession in 2008 was all about us running out of money.

Actually a better regulated banking system (another aspect of socialism) would have prevented the economic meltdown that took place in the US banking system. Note that Canada's more highly regulated banks did not have to be saved by government intervention.

Moron, there are 11 million people in Cuba, it wouldn't be possible to keep them all in if they wanted. Of course they don't, that's nonsense. The Castro government in the 80s said anyone who doesn't want to be in Cuba can **** off, and a boatlift was arranged and less than 1% of the population actually left. Cuba is in amazing shape considering what their enemies have done to them.

I called him a moron than explained why he's a moron. His opinions are stupid, barely coherent and lacks any critical thought.

I read Marxist literature all day every day,sometimes after several glasses of vodka. I'm very knowledgeable on the topic.

while scarface is fiction, the plot setting, and generalities of the situation of the day, were not

You don't appear to know what you're talking about.

Criminals 'in exodus from Cuba': US fears Castro emptying his jails - into Florida
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/c...-emptying-his-jails-into-florida-1386288.html

"Officials in Washington say they have learned from sources in Havana that the releases from Cuban prisons began last weekend. President Bill Clinton is acutely conscious of the effectiveness of the Cuban tactic of sending killers and thieves along with genuine refugees: in 1980 his own political career was almost ended when 18,000 Cuban boat people, mostly former prisoners, rioted at a US military base, Fort Chafee in Arkansas.

The US Coastguard has not so far reported that newly released criminals are among the 17,000 Cubans picked up from rafts and dinghies in the Straits of Florida over the past month. But the freeing of the prisoners occurred very recently "

Last I heard there were 61 inmates in Gitmo, way more than the number of my remaining brain cells.
what kind of prisoners do you have in your remaining cells?
inquiring minds want to know!

Who but an Idiot could argue with that? One of the main differences between the U.S. and Canada in banking is the fact that the average "Tom, Dick and Harry" can't start up their own bank in Canada and our banks are controlled by rigid Federal regulations.

Castro didn't choose who could leave, lol. But that's interesting that it's mainly criminals that wanted to leave. Very shocking yes.
