Re: How Cuba helps discriminated young Americans

Did't have time to read this thread, but my opinion is that the way how USA has managed with Cuba is one of the biggest state crimes in the world - together with the similar crime in Palestine.

Only because Cuba has not allowed US companies to occupy Cuba, USA has made trade relations and traffick impossible in a country which gegraphically really needs connections. A nice thing though is that the proud and moral of US occupiers are still at the bottom of the Bay of Pigs.

Of course UN has also failed to solve this problem. It is a democratic right for Cuban people to have any kind of system, government, way of life, etc. - I just hope that they dont copy the US model which is not sustainable.

Re: How Cuba helps discriminated young Americans

Oh i dont think it has anything to do with that. Maybe it's because they allowed Russia to park a couple of dozen Warheads on their Island. Maybe it's becuase they are communist and he have real problems with communism. Occupation of US companies has little if anything to do with it.

Re: How Cuba helps discriminated young Americans

Oh - did they do that? This is a very serious CRIME - to transport warheads out from a country close to the independent country of USA.

Is this a sigle event or do you know if some other countries could have transported their warheads to other countries, too?

Such countries should be called "AXES OF EVEL" and immediatelly bombed with nukes. To transport warheads to places close to other countries cannot be justified and serious steps should be taken.

Damn - transporting warheads to other countries....

And "communist" - could it be possible to prepare a bomb which will immediatelly explode where somebody is mentioning this word. It is like a deadly virus. All who are mentioning this word should be killed. This word means that also poor people will benefit from the country's economy. So it is a biggest sinn in the world - I am a ritch guy, but I need more money and there is not enough for poor ones, too.

It was called the cold war. The US and Russia were pointing nuclear warheads at eachother threatining to blow each other up. Building nuclear missle silos right next to us was an act of agression by Russia. We responded.

Don’t forget at the same time American nuks were already stationed in Turkey on Russian border when Cuban crises broke.

Does US governmen control what channels Americans can watch ?

Does Bush controls what channels Americans can watch? Well we know that Bush has trouble stringing a sentence together but what about his neo conservative bosses, conclude for yourself.

Re: Does US governmen control what channels Americans can watch ?

If he controlled what channels we watch, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, HBO, MTV would be out of business.

/chuckle

Talk about a wild conspiracy theory.


Quote:
The Treasury Department decreed in March that Al Manar, which means “the beacon” in Arabic, was a “global terrorist entity.” This TV station reflects the views of the Hezbollah political organization, which is a member of the Lebanese government.
It was decreed before the nutball hooked his satellite feed and others to it. He knew he was committing a crime.

Quote:
For Washington, Al Manar’s real crime is telling the truth about Israel’s terror bombing of Lebanon that killed hundreds of children. That’s why Israeli planes—made in the USA—bombed this television station six times.
/chuckle

Hilarious.

Quote:
Now George Bush wants to silence any criticism of U.S. wars of aggression in the Middle East.
Well, he'd better hurry up and shut down all the US media, from top to bottom then.

What in the world could he be waiting for?

Re: Does US governmen control what channels Americans can watch ?

This is SO OLD NEWS...but hey, I guess you are having trouble pinning down current events. How far back did you have to go to get this?

I understand in your homeland your information flow is restricted. I get it. Ok.

"Yes, but he excuses that USA is in a war."

Hrmmmmm.

Last I checked it was our Congress and Senate who approved the war, and continue to fund it.

If you mean that he takes no reponsibility for the war on terror, well that is false, but I think that Al Quaeda and the Taliban had quite a bit to do with the decision we made to go to war.

The other night, I wanted to put on HBO's NFL Gameday and Bush called me and told me that he would only allow me to watch the Discovery Channel. I argued with him for a bit, but in the end, I was stuck watching some show about cheetas. If only I lived in a free country.

I know that were I in his shoes and have 'control of the channels' I'd want to get rid of all the major news channels.

Then I'd set my sites on the weather channel. I hate the Weather channel. And those pesky capitalistic sales channels always trying to sell watches and jewelry. Got to go.

What exactly are Bush's reasons for censoring them? Does it say in the article?
