4-29-2010 | 1:30 amMy idiot brother wouldn’t know poor economic government if it blew up in his face, and seeing as he isn’t the only ignorant fool on this blog, I’ll wisen everybody up. Grinding poverty is immensly eminant in Cuba, where half the population survives on less than $1 a day. On the other hand, a good gardener in Miami, FL can make as much as $20 in one hour. Cuba also has a pitiful transport system. Sure, they have perfectly adequate roads, but they’re served by a completely inadequate public transport, which leaves the verges lined with desperate hitchhikers spending hours to accomplish quite short and simple journeys. Cuban society’s repressive regime has at least 400 political dissidents imprisioned for up to 20 years. Also, homosexuals are severely garassed. Civil rights obviously hasn’t taken effect, causing restrictions on freedom of speech, assembly, and movement. To top it all off, citizens are being obliged to listen to the “Great Leader’s” notoriously inerminable speeches. Castro holds the United Nation’s record for the longest speech in the General Assembly-4 hours and 29 minutes- though people at home were suprised by his brevity. His last domestic speech took 150 minutes to comlete, prompting rumors that he was “ill.” Reality check! Doesn’t seem very positive now, does it?

99.9% of Cubans can read and write. Cuba has not only the best education, but also the best doctors and medical professionals. Every one has health care. Crime rates are low.There is no unequal distribution of wealth. No individual is richer or poorer than the other. Why did some cubans leave Cuba? Because these “Cubans” are poisoned with capitalist ideologies. To have as much of something, without thinking of the consequences (meaning, “I can get whatever I want, eat as much as I want, and do what I want, at the expense of others). Imperialism will go down! Enough with capitalist nations getting rich off of Latin American resources!

I’ll just go into more detail of what the person before said. Because of Castro’s Communist regime, there is universal literacy and a good education for all citizens. On average, there is one teacher for every 10 Cuban students, compared with the one per 15 in the United States. Also, there is an excellent free healthcare system, which attracts patients from the US and elsewhere for treatments ranging from drug dependency to melanomas, generating more than $40 million in revenue. The infant mortality rate is way lower that America’s, and Cuba has twice as many doctors per 1,000 patients than that of the US. Like said before, there is very little serious crime. In Cuba, people can find a rich sporting life in schools, where promising children are given the chance to become well-rewarded professional athletes and emulate the efforts of their world-renowned Olympic medal winners and sporting stars. This is debatable as a pro or con, but there are few neon signs and advertising billboards, no McDonalds, and no foreign newspapers or satellite TV except in the more fancy hotels. That’s all I got; Later!

Don’t say rude things without doing your homework first brother! Here’s an article proving you severely wrong on the whole civil rights and homosexuality issue. They may even surpass the “all good doing” America. Who’s the ignorant fool now! ;P
HAVANA, Cuba, Jun 28, 2007 (CNA).- The Communist Party of Cuba has welcomed a plan to reform the country’s family laws to grant “full rights” to homosexual couples, including the adoption of children, allowing sex and identity changes for transsexuals, and in the long term, legalizing homosexual unions.
The announcement was made by the director of the National Center for Sexual Education, Mariela Castro, during the 5th International Culture and Development Congress which was held in Havana.
Castro, who is the daughter of interim president Raul Castro, said, “We think we should come to an agreement that there be an article in the Family Code on gender identity and sexual orientation for the right to free sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Castro said the plan must first be approved by the Communist party bureau and later by the National Assembly. However, she said a request has already been filed with the Ministry of Public Health to allow three homosexual couples to receive reproduction assistance, in anticipation of the change in Cuban law. While she noted that there has been some resistance to the plan, she said, “Laws by themselves are not sufficient for achieving real change,” but they are essential to advancing policies.
Regarding the legalization of homosexual unions, Castro said they could not yet be called “marriages” because that requires a change in Cuba’s Constitution. “That proposal will be made at an opportune moment. Right now changing the Family Code will be enough,” she added.
“We have inherited a patriarchal family model,” she claimed. “We are not capable of breaking with it and we must do so,” Castro stated.

he overthrew a extreme right wing government and brought a more just system to an impoverished country that many until then had no idea existed and then led on to more freedoms in south american countries which were being used as a neocolony by america

He was smarter than Eisenhower, and Kennedy combined. I would have lovewd to have sinner with him and E. Hemmingway, smoking cigars and drinking Cuba Libres’.

He is the most sucessful leader of the 20th century,
He liberated a starving nation from capitalist pigs and poured all his resources back into his people providing them with every need they required.
He may have overthrown a right wing leader to initialy replace the original orthodox party of 1952 but identified their faults and acted upon it in a way he saw fit for his people and prospered for it.
His country and his people owe him a dept of gratatude and he should be known as a great man with great knowledge and a pair of brass balls.

many say he was/is bad based on what they hear which is from the american side or a rumor so i understand their ignorance. although why would someone go and post a simple one line like “communism is wrong” on what could be an intellectual debate even when they know they do not know much about him or his system
