Nicaraguan locals on edge - 17 July 2008

[joe0463]

fuck the nicaraguan revolution

[thevictor66618]

True , Nicaragua is such a great country , everything is much cheaper over there , our people are very kind , u can feel the human warmth !!! Go to Nicaragua ! Heaven on earth !!

[GustavoMasisFlores]

I feel bad for this country. My parents were born in Nicaragua but both agree that the Nicaraguan lifestyle pales in comparison to the one in the States. I have never seen a successful Nicaraguan in Miami, most are uneducated construction workers or illegals. Not all of course, but many of them are under priveledge and of low income.

[feydivan98]

I don't think the Nicaraguan power structure will let the gringos have the REAL strongholds, like Masaya or Diriamba. Let them have Granada and San Juan del Sur where they can live their fantasies, when they start killing more Nicaraguan girls like Eric Volz did we'll have our Iranian friends ready with a nuke pointed at Barry O's nigger ass.

[andyfrankvideos]

HAHAHA NIGGER AGWA

[feydivan98]

@andyfrankvideos My nigger friends used to call it Niggeragua. Damn, what ignorant darkies. They don't even know when they're making fun of other people they're still making fun of themselves. It goes to show you monkeys can't think spatially.

[andyfrankvideos]

@feydivan98 dude im white

[feydivan98]

@andyfrankvideos Yeah I kinda figured that I was just saying EVERYBODY calls it NIGGERagua, but the NIGGERS get the most laughs out of it cos it sounds funny to them. I know White folks, Asian folks, even some NIGGERaguans who call it that. It's an unfortunate play on words that my country can be pronounced that way.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

@andyfrankvideos Am sure a Nicaraguan person can get your ass any day. White satan.

Pinolero,uds tienen tierra hasta por joder, ojala la hagan produciro sea si el gobierno subsidia tierras y apoya cooperativas sera la mejor zona en centro america

[Pinoleroloco]

asking for help is humiliating, for a person who is nationalist, because later when people help you, they are bringing that out and shoving it in your face. It is better to do things on your own, even if it is difficult, what matters is not to give up and keep on forward. My dream as a nationalist, is to become president of Nicaragua someday, and my objective is to bring prosperity to all the Nicaraguan people; making the nation stable and developed.

[djmz1969]

@Pinoleroloco Good luck, yes you are a Pinolero Loco. That place has no remedy.

[feydivan98]

@Pinoleroloco If you are Nicaraguan then you know the gringos aren't too bright trusting Daniel and giving his government their hard-earned life savings cos manana Daniel is going to pull the carpet out from under them cos the people will make him so he can stay in power and not get a balazo en su culo. The gallo pinto will start a'flyin, and the gringos will come home cryin'!

[Pinoleroloco]

Someday Nicaragua will prosper again, poverty and corruption, won't be forever, I know, because life is like a cycle, everything goes, and later it comes back; Nicaragua was rich and prosperous, and the most developed nation in latin america and people had great lifes there. I have hope that someday Nicaragua will rise again, because I trust in God, we don't need nobodies help, all we need is the help of God, and our determination to presevere, so Nicaragua rises again.

[doubleJfromLV]

hell yeah

im Nicaraguan, i hope so too cause once i grad highschool im going back there

[feydivan98]

@Pinoleroloco Who are you poliically allied with? Do you think Nicaragua is a true democracy where a person who has no political allies and isn't a part of the power structure down there ACTUALLY becomes President? The PLC are the remnants of Somoza's PLN and hold the power, money, political connections, and along with the Conservative families like the Chamorros, Lacayos along with Daniel and the Sandinistas determine who becomes President. Now the question is, ARE YOU A RICACHON?????

[feydivan98]

@feydivan98 Ricachon: Nicaraguense con un vergazo de dinero, muchos amigos importantes, corruptos y conectado politicamente y tiene muchos billetes con que limpiar su culo.

[pac4cm]

You want to stop being poor, or even hope that your kids will be less poor than you. Then dont criticize the rich, choose a president that will boost up the economy, and believe that even in extreme cases everything is relative.

[joe73190]

[77musica]

[091dm5]

porfavor voten por MSS NICARAGUA en "votar por miss universe 2009 nicaragua" porfavor busquelo en google. solo es una pequeña encuesta para que votes por tu candidata favorita.

[mayrami212]

pobre Nicaragua!!! ahora mismo llega walmart, cotsco, mierDonald's etc.etc.. a joder los pocos negocios que quedaban y a despojarlos de sus pueblos coloniales. es una injusticia que se les permita hacer esto, pero como en cualquier lugar el dinero compra todo y siempre habrá vende-patrias dispuestos a vender hasta su propia madre. que le queda al pueblo por hacer?. parece que nunca aprenderemos la lección.

[aecusa]

He wants $40,000 for that piece of junk property? Who is the greedy one here?

[gypsytoes2]

But, where did he get the idea to sell for $40,000? If it weren't for the greedy gringo real estate developers, the asking price would be much less. The gringos are buying for pennies and selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, what are the locals to do who are ripped off by the capitalist gringos? The problem isn't the local folks in Granada. Again, it's the mind-set of the foreign real estate developers. THEY are the ones that are creating the problem in Nicaragua.

[lastnymleft]

That's why they call it an "asking price". It doesn't mean he will end up selling it at that.

[zzadepo]

Lo que sucede en Nicaragua es le que ha sucedido y seguira sucediendo en toda latinoamerica desde la colonia, que pasa con la educacion en latinoamerica, o es que se les olvido su historia, siguen manteniendo al pueblo con futbol y televison....Conozcan su historia y abran los ojos o van seguir dejando robar de las grandes companias como hace 500 anos...Sigan peleando entre naciones hermanas que en este mundo globalizado lo unico que les va a quedar es miseria y sufrimiento.

[testing88534]

Nicaragua is a beautiful nation. I went to the mountain region and lived with a family. Stop buying Nicaragua for your on greedy self interest!! If your going to buy land, contribute back to the local people. Example, the Esperanza Finca Verde which is a coffee plantation owned by an American who helps fund a nearby school and employs locals. Also, the leaders of Nicaragua have lost there was since the revolution.(Especially Daniel Ortega)

[jammoexii]

To actually speak to the video, colonialism is never the answer. Period. This question is relatively simple, relative to the level these types of questions usually are.

[gypsytoes2]

I lived in Nicaragua on Ometepe Island and I can definitely identify with the plight of the locals. Don't trust any gringo real estate person! What you see happening in Granada is happening all over Nicaragua. It's a shame.

[c141bstarlifter]

everything is about money and power. The rich make the rules and the rich get richer. That's just the way it is all over the world. Revolution just puts a different crook in power.

[orangepolyester]

Another way to look at it is: the rich get richer unless the poor overthrow them. But unless the revolution spreads, the rich regroup and take back power - by military means or by forming a new ruling class. Both happened in Nicaragua, which is a sad lesson in isolated national revolutions. Like Che said, we in the west will have to deal with imperialism 'in the belly of the beast' for capitalism to end once and for all.

[Franco20055]

Nicaragua needs a communist revolution. DOWN WITH CAPITALISIM. Viva la revolution

[addictfan]

what the fuck is your fucking problem? when has any nation that went communist ever able to fix the brunt of their problems instead of making them worse? the fact of the matter is commuism is dead, their is only capitalism left in the world. if we had only stuck to our founding fathers core beliefs and added more to the constitution over time about what libertys and freedoms are in this day and age then we might have less problems with our democracy in usa. revolution. will not work how u wish.

[jammoexii]

I think the question you intend is "when has a non-Western country ever instituted mild pro-social policies and not had the U.S. fight a war against it?" And the answer is almost never. There are plenty of faults across the left spectrum, especially at the authoritarian extremist end, but it also has to deal with fighting a war, political and economic if not military (though often military) against The West. ...

[jammoexii]

...Russia and Vietnam, sure, but the Spanish anarchists, Nicaragua, Salvador Allende in Chile (you preferred Pinochet), and these are only a few examples, each which killed thousands of people. And it didn't "protect democracy". In Russia it started a civil war which abolished any hope of the new Communist government being semi-sane. In Vietnam it sharpened North-South tensions, and killed 5 million people. ...

[jammoexii]

...It destroyed Nicaragua. In Spain it put the fascists in power. In Chile it put the fascists in power. In fact all over Latin America it put the fascists in power. Many of the beliefs of your Founding Fathers were admirable, but many of them were completely psychotic. And of course they were a pretty varied bunch, there wasn't much solid consensus on which to base some absurd religion of "Constitution!"alism.

[addictfan]

but the fact is that they lost that war every time. because they were fighting an enemy that could not be killed, money cant be killed by revolution, the rich will only fund watever side they wish and reap the rewards of that win. ofcourse the west has fought socialism every step of the way, thats only because we needed an enemy to justify our wars. now instead of communism its terrorism. but socialism is rising again in a capitalist form, look at our money friends in china. revolution is dead.

[jammoexii]

I was assuming you were making a moral argument. If you're making the argument that the West usual wins and always will because it's violent and immoral and likes murder and mass destruction in the interests of marginal personal gain, you might be right, but that's a horrible and hopeless world to face. It's a possibility, but it's not a morally meaningful one.

[addictfan]

no i wasnt making a moral argument, unfortunately weve lost all sense of morality. what i was trying to do was give respect for the structure of government that gave me the life i live. even tho its not the most thorough in exercising human powers over military powers. i just think any revolution with a socialist ring to it will die hard and fast, plus it wont work. but were are screwing over alot of countries all over the world, which wont last much longer i think, but no change with communism.

[PeterOnoLennon]

@Franco20055

they don't need another bloody revolution...

they need peace and stability.

[EsotericDesi]

It's sad that economic benefits aren't trickeling down to locals..!

[gjanie]

Nothing like taking advantage of the poor!

[nickvanzetti]

just shows the inequality in the world and the fact that the so called Sandinista ,Carlos Ortega is not a revolutionary. to allow his country to be bought by the very class of people who devasted it in the 1980's while his first government was in power. everyone is for sale and Ortega is a counter revolutionary who should be overthrown. mind as well bring back Chamorro.

[Inkan1969]

Hooray for Ortega then! As well as Chamorro.

[nickvanzetti]

of course! coming from you,i can expect nothing else. until i make my next comment,take care Inkan.

[Inkan1969]

You, too, Nick.

[dragun39]

Poorest country in central america, and second poorest in the western hemisphere. Real estate there is amazing and cheap. Although i'm not sure I would want to live on the coast though
