Cuba

[petros]

Hmmm, let's see...

Born into political bondage.

Choose to buy that snappy new 60" HDTV at 2.9%monthly.

Having the freedom to make the choice?

Priceless.

Is that a choice anyone in our system can make or just a few? When did I get the choice to raise the snot out of taxes? When did I get the chance to vote for consumer goods skyrocketing? Did I get to choose about sending men and women overseas to fight wars? Did I choose to sell 86% of our national resources off to foreign interests?

Other than TV how do we differ?

Hmmm, watching new super
centers poping up all over hells half acre. I'm going to say anyone with a job a bank account and half decent credit can...

Name a politician past or present that didn't/doesn't blow goats. Even if you can say "hey...he blows goats" has it ever done anything for the better?

Our illusion is better than their illusion!

Can't think of one...

But I can say it till the cows come home. Scream it from the roof tops even...and I can still go home for dinner...

Wanna go scream Castro blows goats in Cuba and see what happens?

I'll take up a collection.

Our illusion is better than their illusion!

Cuz our illusion has a wee lil bit of freedom to make it taste better.

I can live with that.

When I can no longer see my 26" CRT TV I won't buy a 42" HDTV...I'll get better glasses!

Cool.

When the life sized vagina on my 50" HDTV, is put to shame by a newer, better, scratch and sniff HDTV, I'll get one.

First go to the hill and yell that about Harper then I'll go to Havana. CBC.ca - Canada Votes - Comedian cuffed after professing her love for Harper

I'll take up a collection.

Sweet! Thanks!

I can live with that.

I can rest assured that at least another person realizes and agrees we live in an illusion.

"Mr. Harper. I'm so sorry. I'll be so brief. I just represent the single female voter," the cast member with This Hour Has 22 Minutes said.
Officials immediately grabbed her arm and hauled her out of the room while Hall yelled, "Girls love a guy with a sense of humour, and we could just have a little fun!
"Stephen Harper, I love you! I want to love you!" she yelled as security officials brought her down the hallway and handcuffed her.

Freedom.......

Cool.

You have to turn on TV to see a vagina? I know some single gals that like a guy with a sense of humour who will gladly display their vag regardless the size of your TV. Size doesn't matter.

I guess if i tried to shout it as I climbed the wall at 24 Sussex, I'd get my free speech peepee slapped too. Please do try and keep the BS to a bare minimum petros.

Sweet! Thanks!

Don't mention it.

I can rest assured that at least another person realizes and agrees we live in an illusion.

Yep, but I'm also aware we can, if we want, break free of it.

But I like my creature comforts and flush toilets.

They moved 24 Samesex to Halifax? And here I thought AirForce ONE was a slick bit of kit. Far out!

 

[CDNBear]

They moved 24 Samesex to Halifax?

I was answering your flawed assertion, not making a direct comparison. Hence the absence of the word "too" behind the word "Sussex".

 

[Chiliagon]

This is a lesson to be learned for all the cheap bastards who insist on going to the country that holds its citizens in bondage.

I DO hope that it will cost all these cheap bastards $30,000 to enjoy their vacation.

Cuban nightmare ending for teen | Canada | News | Toronto Sun

I also hope that these Communist Slavery Supporters will lose their houses, cars and all other worldly possessions fighting the government of the country they love so much.

After all, they have already lost all their human decency, visiting Cuba.

man, you've got issues.

who gave you the right to declare people who choose to visit Cuba, lacking human decency?

So why aren't you hounding and criticizing (or should I say Crucifying) those tourists who go to countries like China, North Korea who are also run by Communist leaders?

millions go to China every year for Tourism!! not as many to North Korea but they go there too!

so lets hear what you've got to say about those two countries too before I call you a Hypocrite!

 

[CDNBear]

man, you've got issues.

Ya, escaping a dictatorship will do that to ya.

who gave you the right to declare people who choose to visit Cuba, lacking human decency?

That fact that your dollars spent, go to prop up a ruthless decrepit dictator.

So why aren't you hounding and criticizing (or should I say Crucifying) those tourists who go to countries like China, North Korea who are also run by Communist leaders?

Give him the chance. Post a couple verbal BJ's for those nations and see what happens.

millions go to China every year for Tourism!! not as many to North Korea but they go there too!

Rise to the challenge son.

so lets hear what you've got to say about those two countries too before I call you a Hypocrite!

I wouldn't call you one. At least not yet anyways, you aren't old enough to understand the error's in your logic yet.

I am no less of a human being than Yukon Jack is, because I visited Cuba. I take offense to him and his crap.

 

[petros]

I was answering your flawed assertion, not making a direct comparison.

She wasn't arrested for yelling at Harper like you say I would be for yelling at Castro?

In all fairness it not what you say or where you say it. Either of us could yell anti-harper stuff in ottawa or anti-castro in cuba and be arrested or walk free depending on the mood of those listening.

Even if Cuba were capitalist it's too damn small for the majority to have the same amount of opportunity as we do simply due to lack of natural resources. They would still be impoverished.

 

[CDNBear]

I am no less of a human being than Yukon Jack is, because I visited Cuba.

I don't think he said you were less of a human being. Being indecent doesn't make you half human being and half something else.

Yer still a human being.

I take offense to him and his crap.

That's cool, he and I take offence to verbal BJ's offered in support of dictatorships and people funneling money into their corrupt regimes.

So we all have our little hang ups.

Maybe he is saving up to see an American shrink and things will be better for all of us someday?

 

[CDNBear]

I'm sorry, could you show me where I said you should try and approach him?

In all fairness it not what you say or where you say it. Either of us could yell anti-harper stuff in ottawa or anti-castro in cuba and be arrested or walk free depending on the mood of those listening.

Ummm, likely based solely on the scene, but even then, my chances in a Canadian jail, are way better then a Cuban. If I were to agree with you at all.

Even if Cuba were capitalist it's too damn small for the majority to have the same amount of opportunity as we do simply due to lack of natural resources. They would still be impoverished.

This is true. Which is why I really haven't focused on that aspect, buyt really tried to hard to focus on freedom, hence why I've mentioned it a couple time, specifically.

 

[YukonJack]

Chiliagon, when somebody starts singing the glories and beauties of China and North Korea, as you have been, of Cuba, I will have my say to them, too.

In the meantime I salute you for fiscal prudence of having saved a buck on a meal and two on a bedbug infested hotel, by visiting the slave-state of Cuba.

 

[Chiliagon]

I never said I support him at all. What I don't want is to have the USA get their hands on Cuba and turn it into another US style Tourist country.

I want them to keep their identity but lose the Socialist ways.

I don't wanna see Cuba turn into American culture.

No McDonalds, Walmarts, Shopping Centres, Cineplex 12 movie theatres, and other Americanized Restaurants.

I want them to keep their uniqueness.

 

[petros]

When I went to Cuba there was something I noticed. Everyone was happy, they were very polite and smiled ear to ear regardless of their surroundings or what they had/didn't have.
