Chiliagon, it really does not matter what you think or want Cuba to be like. What matters is what Cubans think. I venture to guess that they - except for those who slavishly toe the Communist Party line - disagree with you.
petros, I grew up in a Communist country (I managed to free myself when I was seventeen) where looking happy was an obligation, be polite, and smile ear to ear, OR ELSE!!

Full circle, Big Bad America!!!
Isn't that part of the charm you've been espousing?
You mean like being stuck perpetually in the 50's? Go Chuck Berry!
So you don't want it to look like downtown Newmarket Ontario Canada?
Don't people call that segregation? Aren't there people in Canada that think us "injuns" do this and shouldn't?
Ya, I actually can say I saw that too.
But I see that at some rez' too. Then I take a swing off the main drag and viola. Reality hits.
It's all over the world dude. It's there too.

why do you think That there's a problem that Cuba has 50's cars? instead of the latest model of Ford Focus? or whatever..
they don't need to have anything besides their govt style change!
Wow, then I wonder why the bulk of people that go get the advice to take chocolate and jeans. And even more amazing, why is a Cuban national will almost suck your dick if yer so kind as to give them some of those wears?
Things that make you go Hmmm.
Does everybody in Cuba own their own business?
We have the best jeans and Chocolate? We're real kind and generous (see jeans and chocolate)?
A rez with a main drag? You should see what it's like out this way. I'd rather live in Cuba or even Palestine for that matter. At least in Cuba they have running water that you don't need to boil.
ya but they're not gonna care if you don't now?
I get the feeling that there are a lot of people here who believe that Cuba needs to be like everyone else.. have the latest things and newest of everything!
Because a cummunist dictaor stole property without paying for and expelled legitimate businesses?
See first response.
Ya, you keep telling yourself that.
See Russia for what ex communist state captives like, want, need.
petros bitched, whined, frowned and scowled at will, thus:
"So now you bitch, whine, frown and scowl at will. Boy did Canada ever gain."
I agree: Canada (and I, both) GAINED when I immigrated here.
Thanks, petros, I never thought you'd say that!

ya, well that's a whole different problem right there.. but they're no longer communist.
I for one am happy that Cuba kicked the americans out.
Huh?
I get the feeling you're talking out your ass. Look up freedom, illusion or not, you have it, they don't. Not in the same sense.
Ya, every rez has a main road.
You should see what's out this way. Awesome, touristy types places, casino's, galleries, beautifully kept lawns and homes.
Excellent smoke shacks and bargain liquor stores.
They're not all the same eh.
Ummm, since when?
Cool, so if I come to your house and toss you, your mom and dad out, we're all good?
Don't worry though chili, thousands of Cuban's agree, that's why they risk death to swim to the US...
come on bear. different story different situation. Cuba was going down the tubes when the US had control of Cuba.
And Russia has not been a communist country since they stopped being the USSR?
Really? Booming economy. A populace a little on the exploited side, but hey, the hookers and booze flowed like honey.
Ya, that's kinda what the...
Stands for, hence my use of it.
Perhaps if you learned how to use the quote feature, you wouldn't get so confounded.
