Cuba.

You know what, that is hilarious. FUCKING HILARIOUS. I'm not even kidding, that is the funniest damn thing I've seen all day. In fact, congratulations, that shit is going in my sig!

I'm going to point this out:
This
and this website in general.

Cuba Solidarity and Cuba Truth. Uh-huh. If the country is so great, why do Cubans prefer sharks and Miami?

[CJ1145]

Look, more statistics on this Solidarity page! Did you know that 97.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot? Seriously, though, you're using Cuba as it is now as an example. Cuba is no longer your precious vision of a budding Communist state. They've gone a good deal back towards capitalism. And people still hate it there.

If you would've explored the second link, you would've seen that few Cubans actually leave Cuba.
Also, guess why Cuba's economy went down the drain?
Due to the USA's embargo.
Ironically, Cuba's human rights situation is far better than the USA's.

CJ, did you know that everything on that site is cited from the fucking UN?

[bjlong]

You know that the embargo tightened at the same time the USSR fell? Which means that the drop could be due to one, the other, or both! Or neither. Really, economies aren't as simply deterministic as all that.

It seems unfair to shoot you down so easily... Therefore, I shall do it in Haiku.

Dwarf is not that smart
Seems to love Communism
Let us prove him wrong

As a man who lives
In these old United States
I know you are wrong
Down in Florida
They show up very often
It's not a surprise

Also, guess why Cuba's economy went down the drain?

You of little faith
You do not give much credit
To our Russian friends
We set embargoes
When one sleeps with our rival
It only seems right

Ironically, Cuba's human rights situation is far better than the USA's.

Ah! Now, that depends
Much upon your point of view
Christian or Marxist?

CJ, did you know that everything on that site is cited from the fucking UN?

Oh, screw the UN!
They tend to support the Reds
Of course they'd lie here.

[Jackrabbit]

I'm sorry? Do we still call Russians the reds?

And are they still our enemies?

Since the above questions are almost rhetorical, they're so obvious, why is the embargo still in place anyway?

Hey, do you know how hard it is to write an argument in Haiku? Cut me some slack, I had to find short words to describe Russians.

[Dwarf]

Yes, I can totally see that the UN is a communist organization hellbent on destroying capitalism.

What's very often. It's all relative - those very often people are but a small percentage of the Cuban population. It's like saying that having bread every day in your local store means all bread ends up there.

The USA's embargo has been criticized by pretty much everyone, the UN, most of the countries member of the UN, and others.
The point I tried to make is that it's not the (underway) Communism which destroys the economy.

Cuba has been elected multiple times as head of the Human Rights Council. Yes, that's right. Your glorious USA was not even a founding member.

Overall, CJ, your post is utterly retarded.

[KaelGotDwarves]

And since when are Christianity and Marxism opposites?

This thread is already reaching nuclear stupidity levels.

[Retro]

I thought communists were just Russian astronauts.

[Dwarf]

It's not I that stated that. It was CJ which said that Communists are bastards because we, clearly, all hate christianity.

Sorry, but whatever point you were trying to make, whatever world-beating argument you had, it got lost in the haiku.

If it's really that easy to shoot someone's argument down, do it.

HAIKU, damn you.

My point was, depending on your outlook on life, "human rights" could mean totally different things. I just gave two theories/lifestyles/etc that might have conflicting viewpoints.

Yes, I can totally see that the UN is a communist organization hellbent on destroying capitalism.

Don't put words in my mouth. All I'm saying is that the UN's had a history of botching operations or taking a somewhat questionable stance on situations.

Your glorious USA was not even a founding member.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said the USA was glorious. But I get a lot more freedom here than anywhere else, so I think I'll keep on living here thank you.

The point I tried to make is that it's not the (underway) Communism which destroys the economy.

Actually yes, yes it is. You seem to forget that at some point Castro had to fuck up royally enough to even begin taking money from Soviet Russia. That's because his system for implementing Communism failed utterly.

He knows this because he has been everywhere and has found all other countries and lifestyles wanting. U S A! U S A! GOOO

This is pretty glaring. It's because Batista royally fucked up the economy because he only cared about making money for himself and America. Castro then spent decades fixing it.
