I'm sure you'll work on it.

Sure, I'll try and stoke the fire by adding a little balance and perspective. Shrugs shoulders.
Incidentally, your quote should read 'four legs good...'

I remember once meeting with a man who's parents fled the revolution in the mid-60s. He proudly showed off the deed to what he said was a large mansion confiscated by Fidel and turned into a school. He told me that "when they're overthrown" he'd go back to Cuba and kick everyone out of "his" house, and that they wouldn't need much education to harvest sugar cane for him anyway.

It was at that point I decided Fidel was absolutely right.


Really?

Pm me your address where you and your family live and ill come round to throw you out and change the locks. Ill let in four homeless guys in.

Afterwards ill ask you to tell me how you feel..

If cuba under communsium was such a paradise, how come all of the cubans want to go to america? Dont you wonder why cuba is not mentioed ad the country the migrants want to settle in?

Dont want to start argument but generally dictators that forcea political system onto the population arent that good.


So what you're saying, then, is that you take the side of a guy who's angry that the government closed down his parent's child slavery business and confiscated the ill-gotten proceeds, namely a huge county manor.

Which is what actually happened.

The Cubans who went to america are very different to the Cubans who stayed. Namely, they were the privileged class of Batista's fascist government. They were Child slavers and Mafioso. They are not victims but criminals, and the Cuban people as a whole remain glad to be free of them. Now their children get to go to school instead of working plantations. Now the black and mixed people can become doctors and lawyers instead of servants or prostitutes.

What makes me laugh is the way you go "how would you like it if it happened to me"? Well, I don't own a whites-only casino, a drug plantation or a mansion payed for with child slavery, because I'm not a scumbag or member of the mafia, so it can't happen to me. I am simply a law abiding person who values justice and a society where we look out for each other instead of preying on each other, and as such would benefit from all of those predatory, cruel things being done away with.

The original post stated - and highlighted above - that the owner of a mansion had it confiscated, and that is what I based my comment on. There was no mention of how the mansion was funded therefore to come back with the above, it pointless really.

Compared to US FB political threads, we still maintain our dignity and some respect for each other on here, despite sometimes strongly divergent opinions and long may that continue. :xmas-big-grin:
