how embarassing is it if the country, which is isolating cuba from the rest of the world, is putting is finger at it, saying they dont even have windows... where should they come from? Fall out of the sky?

[JPineda84]

know there are windows in Cuba, how do you think people manage to escape from that fascist prison?

[JPineda84]

Oh, and by the way, these are CUBANS criticizing Cuba (that is what happens when Cubans are allowed freedom of speech ie. when they escape to a free nation like America)

[apacheslim]

its what happens when rich indulgent and predominently white cubans were stopped for ripping off the system. They go and cry like most conservatives because they cant abuse the population. At least in cuba no 1 goes hungry or without medical attention see if that is the same in the USA

and stop trying to push your values upon the world cos they're full of shit

[JPineda84]

Cuban medical attention is on par with other Latin American third world nations. In other words, its very poor with very bad equipment as you can see in this video. Americans at least have the opportunity to travel abroad if they want medical attention from a different system. If Cubans try to leave their country they are slaughtered.. including the women and children. How can you possibly defend that?

@JPineda84 God forbid freedom like this. Those people are leaving because the allure of good life in the bigger country is no match for the depravation on the small suffocated by hostile trade policies and excessive ideology island. However, make no mistake about it - the poverty of Bronx and Miami is no answer for them either. And the freedom here? Given the two parties alternating in power, the Bush dynasty and the Patriot Act - I would rather be very quiet about this sort of Freedom

@JPineda84 If they have a fascist system, than why has US supported every other fascist from Pinochet to Ngo Ding Dzem (South Vietnam) throughout this century? I guess they are only fascists when they also happent to be communists, otherwise they are presidents, sheikhs, kings and shahs of this world where the health care is just fine....

[FidelCastro128]

In order for cubans to get health care, require to volunteer, attend 'socialist'?

meetings, report/spy, against neighbours, live with meager rations, etc.

Socialist Paradise? Hardly!

[cwood4ever]

Why would anyone want to move to a country that has a president for life? That right there is a perfect example of evil.

[MaximilianHorizon]

most of the usa people never been anywhere but they keep saying "this is the best country in the world".

how stupid

[redpyramid88]

@AegisNova but there is no one telling you cannot. That is the difference JPineda84 stated ;)

[AegisNova]

@JPineda84 You assume that all Americans can afford to travel abroad. We cannot.

[ron7club]

[ron7club]
