Castro is a totalitarian dictator asshole

[hippiepunk]

Who agrees? Fuck him.

[LittleClarkie]

1. Did he do something in particular?

Otherwise this is sorta random, don't you think?

[hippiepunk]

4. It's based on this

9. This doesn't sound apologistic to me.

From the OP of the thread that offends you:

I have been in Cuba during hurricane seasons and during some scares and hits.. During imminent hurricane approaches all in the affected area are evacuated to stocked and ready shelters with doctors and nurses. It is rare for any to die.

That tiny island has its shit much more together than the US regarding the safety of its citizens during hurricane season.

They put us to shame.

Not sure what your point is.

13. Read the thread

It's not the beginning.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

7. Yeah..he successfully evacuated Cubans along the coast

and got them to a shelter with minimal loss of life and minimal suffering. That bastard!

[hippiepunk]

17. No he's a heartless dictator

Stop putting words in my mouth

[tk2kewl]

2. apparently he can protect his people from hurricanes though

[katsy]

3. I am SO never going to throw stones...

when it seems I live in a glass house.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Maybe, but everyone in Cuba has a roof, an education

organic food, medical care and can get to a safe harbor in a severe hurricane.

Even the delegation that went there from America (all politicos and academics) a couple years back recognized that.

8. He also treat gays like shit

and suppresses free speech.

Edit: He not they

[tuvor]

10. Sorry, HOW is bush better in that respect again???

[Brundle_Fly]

11. republicans

suppress free speech, media, gays, et al.

[hippiepunk]

15. I've gone to an anti-war protest

and not gotten arrested.

[manic expression]

19. Congratulations

People have been to anti-Castro protests in Cuba, and not gotten arrested.

[manic expression]

16. Latin American culture is homophobic

treating gays like shit is actually something that Latin America needs to face as a society. The Cuban government's treatment of gays is a symptom of a fault of a society, and represents its people's (bad) sentiments.

18. Actually, Cuba has the lowest AIDS rate in the western hemisphere

Due to its world renown treatment and award winning prevention awareness.

Cuba has also recently recognized gay unions (marriage).


Not exactly anti gay.

[belle]

6. Well, film at 11. Glad I don't live under him. Sorry I live under Bush.

In sum.

[Billy Burnett]

12. Actually, Castro is a brilliant speaker.

I've heard him speak (both in Cuba and in the US) on globalization, poverty, education and science. He is brilliant. Not an asshole at all.


Long live Cuba!

[hippiepunk]

14. As was Hitler

:eyes:

[IChing]

20. get over it and don't forget to call Pat robertson tonight before

you go to bed.

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Locking...

Sorry, but we just don't seem to have the time this week for gratuitous Castro-bashing.

Try again later when things calm down a bit.
