a classic insult best wishes Larry – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Yo nunca te insulte… Si sabes leer, debiste haber entendido lo que dije, pero… bueno, ahi va de nuevo con diferentes palabras (y sin tratar de mal imitar a Cyrano de Bergerac) Preocupate por ti mismo… Do you get it ? Castellanamente,  Cronos PD. Parece que nunca vas a entender una metafora… PD.2 Una discusion que no conduce a nada es esteril y solo es una perdida de tiempo.  Asi que si tu quieres discutir, te equivocaste de persona… Cronos: Come on if we are going to trade insults instead of argue different points of interest you can insult me better than that, those insults are only going to bore the reader.   lets try instance: Academic style By the way why do you call yourself Chronos, if my failing memory is correct, Chronos, the patron of time, the mythological titan who ate his own children tut..tut pedophage tut tut or perhaps and my Spanish is awful and my decimas worse Guajiro style Ese particular que se llama Cronos no vale mas que Castros bonos Discuta sin razon y sin sentido porque el es un resentido or perhaps we could argue rationally about important matters. best wishes larry

writes: Son las cosas que pasan cuando se abusa malamente de la libertad, se pueden desde quemar banderas hasta  difamar personas…

Hablando de cosas paradojicas…aqui me parece que Cronos na’ ma’ cree en la libertad de cosas que el no considera "abusos"…. con~o… despues de tanto hecharle a los "trogloditas" del exilio. Bueno… posiblemente no sea tan paradojico… que dices, Vivian? Quemando banderas por la libre (fijate bien, Medidor del Tiempo, esto quiere decir sin embargo y sin libreta) Pedro

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –                        CASTRO’S CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY Free Cuba from What?    Fidel Castro’s regime is guilty of numerous documentable crimes    stretching from the jungles of Peru to the deserts of Ethiopia.    Documented reports exist of Cuban troops in cahoots with the Ethiopian    government denying food to starving Ethiopians because of their    political ideology. In Latin America, Castro funded guerrilla groups    throughout the hemisphere generating terror and fear for decades.    At home Castro’s regime has created the most repressive police state    apparatus in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba is an Orwellian nightmare    set in the tropics with Big Brother sporting a beard and cigar. Cuba    has refused to ratify any major international law enshrining    fundamental human rights. It has refused to sign the International    Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.    Castro formed Committees for the Defense of the Revolution(CDR) which    operate on almost every block in Cuba. Spying on neighbors and    reporting back to the regime. Negative reports can land one in jail.    Talking to foreigners invites questioning into your loyalty to the    regime. Large numbers of individuals are incarcerated in Castro’s    prisons for political crimes ranging from speaking against the regime    to trying to leave the island.    In June 1991 at a meeting between Fidel Castro and several members of    various communist organizations, it was agreed to set up the infamous    Rapid Response Brigades. Their principle aim is to "defend the    country, the Revolution and Socialism in all circumstances, by    confronting and liquidating any sign of counter-revolution or crime."    Trying to leave Cuba without government sanction is a criminal offense    punishable by prison. Due to this Cubans are unable to build larger    more seaworthy crafts, and resort to innertubes, and in some cases    fiberglass cannisters in search of freedom.    The Castro regime’s response to the AIDS crisis has been mandatory    nation-wide testing with forced incarceration for anyone who tested    positive for the HIV virus. In addition, Castro has had a long    tradition of imprisoning homosexuals and transexuals as    "undesirables." Imprisonment is often based on mere suspicion and    rumor. Recently it was reported that young people in Cuba are    purposely "shooting up" with HIV infected blood so that they can go to    these camps to avoid forced labor.    In a letter dated 14 September 1992 that was smuggled out of the same    prison by a group of political prisoners, it was reported that a    number of prisoners with AIDS rioted on 19 August demanding better    food and medical attention. Guards used rubber batons, wooden sticks,    and other blunt instruments and an unknown number of prisoners were    injured. Several of the AIDS sufferers were transferred to the maximum    security area of the prison. Two months earlier a prisoner with AIDS    sent to this area had his food quota cut in half and the diet    reccomended by doctors withdrawn. The prisoner died three weeks later.    The fate of the others is unknown.    Castro’s achievements bear mentioning and we shall list them here.    First, his regime has had the longest serving political prisoner in    world history: over 28 years. Cuba, in 1959 was economically self    sufficient, and did not have the tourist-Apartheid of today.    Tourist-Apartheid is the situation in which Cuban citizens don’t have    equal access to certain beaches or restaurants that Tourists do.    Reminiscent of the system of segregation of the South, or of Apartheid    in South Africa these conditions have been labeled "tourist    apartheid."    In thirty four years Fidel Castro took an island with pre-existing    progressive healthcare and drove it into the ground. In 1959 Cuba had    337 hospitals in 1989 the number had decreased to 264. Increases in    other areas of Cuban healthcare did not manifest themselves on a per    capita basis. Disease in Cuba has steadily increased since 1959.    Suicides in Cuba more than doubled from a 1,011 figure for 1970 to    2,220 in 1989.    Remarkable achievements in just the course of 34 years.   FREE CUBA   F o u n d a t i o n via PNEWS http://www.applicom.com/pnews/ http://www.netline.net/~odin http://www.magg.net/~odin What a pile of garbage.  You denigrate the greatest man in the history of the Western Hemisphere.  Not only has he never committed any crimes, but he cleaned up an island that you and your capitalist masters turned into a human sewer under Batista.  And because some of the filth had to be expunged to purify the stench, you emit crocodile tears.  No doubt you would like Cuba to go down the drain as has happened in Eastern Europe recently.  Don’t hold your breath.  To ad equately refute all the lies and distortions contained within your post would require a small book.  Cuba is free. What you want to do is re-enslave it to the American capitalists as was true under you hero Batista and his gangsters. Oh! if only Fidel were immortal!

Imposible Cronos,  esa es una de las "desventajas" de la democracia,  si puedes,  ayudanos para que en Cuba nadie carezca de ese derecho. GoLo

Okey… pues vamos  a condenarlo a 30 an~os pa’ que no lo haga otra vez. Frediamente, Pedro

Response:

Ironico No es verdad? Son las cosas que pasan cuando se abusa malamente de la libertad, se pueden desde quemar banderas hasta  difamar personas… Y sabes, tengo tanto derecho a decirlo como tu a cuestionarmelo. O que?

Response:

Mckinsey: I admire you zeal and your faith even if they are misplaced.  However, your debating skills need a little reviewing.   An informed reader, or especially a diligent scholar, will know or will rapidly learn that what Harvey Rossetti states is readily documented and correct, this leaves you in an untenable position.  Your aggressive attitude and personal attacks further weaken your credibility.  In sum your letter can be readily taken to demonstrate that those supporting the present government of Cuba are neither rational nor have knowledge of Cuban history, and thus should not be taken seriously I am sure this is was not your intention to damage to your cause, but if i was one who shared your opinions i would be suspicious that you were "throwing the game".  There are skilled Cuban government apologists in soc.culture.cuba read what they write, learn from them, do a better job next times, otherwise you do not stand a chance in the arena of soc.culture.cuba. May we meet next time in more even combat. best wishes Larry Daley – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –                        CASTRO’S CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY Free Cuba from What?    Fidel Castro’s regime is guilty of numerous documentable crimes    stretching from the jungles of Peru to the deserts of Ethiopia.    Documented reports exist of Cuban troops in cahoots with the Ethiopian    government denying food to starving Ethiopians because of their    political ideology.
