Damn it feels good to be an American. - darundal, on 04/25/2008, -1/+13Well, the Chinese government can't do it, and they have far more everything to throw at it, so no surprise the Cuban government can't either.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -7/+16You just can't stop yourself from posting something anti-American no matter how irrelevant or stupid it may be, can you?
- 4d669, on 04/25/2008, -4/+12This is complete *****. I know many Cubans and they have never been under computer or internet prohibition. A friend of mine speaks with her aunt through email all the time and even considered Vonage for cheaper calls. I don't understand why the US is obsessed with making Cuba look like North Korea when it is not and has even been known for sending teachers and doctors to other countries. Meanwhile North Korea launched a test missile that landed in Alaska in 2003 and nobody gives a *****.

- SyKoRaGe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Anyone have an actual link to the blog? That is one thing I hate about online news reports, they never actually link you to what there talking about.
- SyKoRaGe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Found it...

- trujillonorte, on 04/25/2008, -2/+5viva la blogger revolucion!
- oldhick, on 04/25/2008, -3/+6I have friends that I regularly collaborate with in Cuba and they have an extremely difficult time getting on-line. You may think its a redneck joke, but take a trip dumb ass and find out for yourself. I'm not obsessed with anything other than improving living conditions in Cuba.
Your friend is very lucky. Most of the Cubans I know personally and have met while traveling there don't even have personal phone lines.

I don't know how many more links you need to get educated, but I have thousands of them.
The reality is that you WANT to believe that Cuba is progressive, moderate and modern. The reality is far different. Please visit before you make your un-informed ***** opinions known.
It IS possible to visit Cuba and its pretty easy.

- MWeather, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4We do try and control what bloggers blog about, we just use different methods, like viral propaganda.
- wefarrell, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Now that they have the internet it's only a matter of time before the floodgates open. If only there were some way to buy property there.
- CiXeL, on 04/25/2008, -2/+5AMEN TO THAT!
I am so tired of their hatred of white americans.
You have any idea how quick americans would reverse the wet foot - dry foot policy if they realized how many recent cuban immigrants hate them.
when you live down here and feel the prejudice from people we are taking in under our wing and see shirts like 'attencion gringos, viva la revolucion!' and how upset they get when you say you dont know spanish or how they cut in line in front of you at the grocery store or post office and back each other up.
theres some real scum down here.
racist to everyone but their own particular latin country. willing to exploit the american system for their own gain.
living in south dade i've seen whole checkout isles at walmart all carrying welfare cards and fat stacks of cash.
i've heard coworkers discuss how to commit insurance fraud by getting full coverage insurance and dumping a car in a canal and claim it was stolen. they found 70 cars in a canal in broward recently.
i could go on and on and on... - replaytv1, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2GenerationY Website Link:
http://www.desdecuba.com/generationy/ - CiXeL, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2thats true. i know older cubans who are wonderful people. its just the people who are coming ashore now take everything for granted and commit tons of illegal acts with no conscience. the older generation cant stand the younger generation just as much as everyone else.
theyre even calling for the ending of the wet foot dry foot law too. - Monk22, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2welcome to cuba
- DaviDTC, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Do they post using their real name? Really, I have no clue if Chok Un Dic is a real name or made up.
- slapout, on 04/25/2008, -4/+6But they've got great healthcare!
- phenolholic, on 04/25/2008, -4/+6i hate cubans. dont feel sorry for them, when you live in Miami with "free" cubans, you'll understand why the Castro family has a tight grip on those feisty firecrackers
- CiXeL, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2how about vast majority living in miami?
since miami is mostly made up of cuban immigrants and mostly made up of people who are less than wholesome and mostly shady (something i imagine you cannot even begin to imagine living in another part of the country) you can pretty much claim it is a cultural problem.
when i lived in los angeles i could pretty much state that most people were good people, here i'm afraid i have to state most people are 'bad people' and commit illegal acts.
if you dont believe me, look up miami beach 411's relocation guide where it talks about how living here you have to put aside your inherent trust in humanity.
and i quote:
"While it is often easy to meet people here in Miami, you must always remember that this town is American Mecca of shady and underhanded people. Many come from countries where corruption is a way of life, and those who don’t came here to escape something. So when someone seems a little TOO eager to be your friend, it is probably not because of your overwhelmingly magnetic personality. It is probably because they are trying to screw you. Either literally or figuratively.
If you come from a place where people are generally nice, you must learn to abandon your inherent trust of human beings and assume everyone is crooked until they prove otherwise. This may sound a bit jaded to some, but it is the best and only way to make sure the new people you meet here in South Florida actually are looking to be friends and not looking for creative ways to break into your house. It may be difficult, but the best advice is that if someone gives you a feeling that they are a little, off, in this town they most likely are. In addition to this large number of less-than-scrupulous individuals, you may also find a good number of people who enjoy partaking in illegal substances. "

- forgiste, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3it's not that they're spying, in Cuba, they're trying to control internet access and what the bloggers blog about. Here they're spying, but that's basically it. They still allow us to say what we say and do what we do, within the limits of the law.
- talonstriker, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3See I was right, you're not a cuban. You're just a hot-tempered redneck.
- phenolholic, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2dude, you dont live in Miami and your only taste of cubans is ricky ricardo from the i love lucy reruns and some other notable entertainment figures. you have no basis of the actions, thoughts, culture, and lifestyle of a "free" cuban in a predominately cuban society (i.e. Miami)
- aletornw, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2It feels good when you're one of the included ones ;)
- aletornw, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2Totally agree. Poor americans.. they have to pay to get health care, or to get education, they are controlled by only a few media owned by a few people who own almost all, that isn't freedom of speech, that is speech of money. Viva Cuba!
- JudgeMonkey, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Yeah, They've only had magic porn boxes in their houses for one month. I'd be too busy whacking it raw to worry about blogging.
- Zettabyte, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I agree, US should release the embargo against cuba.
- Monk22, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1babelfish or google translator
- iRelinquish, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1damn, i forgot i can't read spanish
- CiXeL, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1umm i live in south miami-dade. area code 786. south of kendall.
- Scheissen, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2And ever since Sicko was made you liberals have been making Cuba into a dreamworld with "free" healthcare.
- solid12345, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Communism is anti-thesis to human nature. Since we crawled out from caves some members of society have always been weak-minded or lazy and thus should get their lesser share of the meat and berries. I remember my Russian language professor saying how it was almost impossible to get fired in the USSR even if you showed up to work drunk every day, and I had classmate who grew up in W. Germany complaining how lazy the easterners were because they were not used to working an honest day's job.
- solid12345, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Actually the free market DID succeed in Chile, it is one of South America's best economies.
- thedogfatherx, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Man I love America!
- phenolholic, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1No man, it was directed to Hockey, hence I replied to his comment
- JorgeGT, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Jodido imbécil.
- Monk22, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1paper porn isnt free
- Zettabyte, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1YES just how free market suceeded in Chile. Just how Pinochet envisoined.
Nelson Mandela and Gough Whitlam were evil socialist bastards.
/s - tehbored, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1You know you can get porn offline, right? I've heard they even print it on paper!
- AceTracer, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Communism is an economic principle, what you mean to say is "sigh, totalitarian dictatorships".
- choppa1890, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1And you are a typical idiot, that belongs in that paradise.
- aletornw, on 04/26/2008, -1/+2Does anybody know that USA is blocking most of Cuba's access to internet? The bandwidth in Cuba is limited and because of that reserved to universities for example.
