My mother visited Cuba a few years ago and had no problems. She told me it's very nice there really.... |
When I first moved to the UK I was a travel agent and it was a real culture shock when I was booking package holidays to Cuba. In that late 90's period it was pretty popular destination for UK folks looking for a beach holiday.

I can't wait for all the stupid Republican Cubans to go back to Cuba. USA should lift the embargo, open up their market and give them free rides back.
|
Cuba has issues no doubt. Nothing like they had before the revolution though I'll tell you that. At least people are not hungry and are educated.

Hehe I love all these pro-cubans. Everything looks lovely from a distance.
Try living there for a couple of months outside of the hotels area. The first time you dont have toilet paper to wipe your ass, can´t eat steak,can´t find sanitary towels,can´t access google,yahoo, etc. you´ll be begging to go back home wherever it is. Would you like it if your kids had to ask these kinds of questions: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/am...s/#cnnSTCVideo I wonder why cubans cant stay in a cuban hotel even if they can afford it? Why they can´t travel outside their country? Why they can´t protest against their government without being detained? Sounds like a fucking paradise huh? But hey, it´s cool to be anti-establishment and a Che Guevara (mass murderer btw) lover right? Oh wait, it´s not. We are not 16 years old anymore. |
BTW, I have had the opportunity to talk to cubans living here in Venezuela in the Barrio Adentro Program. They are cuban doctors working here.
At first they won´t talk to you , but once you gain their trust they´ll talk openly about the living situation in Cuba. That free health care sounds good, but when they have to reuse gause, dont have sutures, doctors dont have a basic x-ray machine, it doesn´t look too good.Of course, if you are a foreigner in Cuba you get first-class treatment (like in the documentary Sicko). Free education. Sounds nice too , but cubans only learn what the government is willing to teach them. And worshipping Castro is a huge part of the education. Yep, sounds like a real paradise. |

What's the big deal about "free education" when the job it gets you pays $4500/year? I'd rather have the expensive education I took out loans for. Thanks.
|
I have never been there, and are not planning to either
|
you can go to cuba if you make a stop to bahamas or mexico first...
|
So, when Cuba is liberated are the Cubans here in America gonna leave?

They don't like the US... and they have many good reasons including the trade embargo that crippled their economy and the attempted bay of pigs invasion. Both sides are to blame.
Sure they parked a few soviet missiles for a while, the US needs to get over it and stop trying to push their capitalist system on the rest of the world. |

Cuba is a poor country and life there is harder than in the few richest countries of the world.
But life is better for those poor people than in a lot of other poor countries, and with more freedom... Freedom from hunger, illiteracy, crime, illness etc... Remember when Castro came to power he was a middle-class kid who went to the States for help, Washington kicked him into the arms of the Russians. Why ? Because you can do anything in the world but Challenge American power and the right of US corporations to trade (exploit) . Just look at US allies around the world...corrupt dictatorships screwing their own people... And who are the evil ones Cuba and Venezuala for using oil monies to help people. I lived in a communist country for 5 years... In its cinemas it showed films from around the world, US Japanese...and Russian and Polish films, TV programs from around the world... Any Americans here like to have a discussion about Russian Films? Polish Films? Havn't seen any? Why not ? Your country so free? Of course its a free country after all anyone can be president as long as he has $1000,000 plus... |

in most tropical climates all over world the native folks aren't very industrious. and this generally equates to a fairly low standard of living by western standards. everyone is happy and warm, hungry? go steal a neighbor's chicken or pick a mango. ever been to the philippines? you will see the laziest fucks in the world standing around doing nothing, nice, passive and lazy. 10 people tripping over themselves doing the work of one white man. the women doing 90% of the work everywhere. no wonder a boatload of japs took over the country 70 years ago. in germany they invented the mercedes benz, and there, if you don't get out of bed you freeze to death in the winter. |
