Castro is done!

[W]hat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Can you substantiate this statement?

Well, let me ask this question in a different way -- can you direct me to a more credible international source for health indicators among countries?

If not WHO, then who?:D

I already stated who I would trust more.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC). It's a government agency dedicated to a healthy environment for the citizens of the United States. It's funded by your tax dollars. In fact, for 2008, it has a budget along the lines of $8.8 billion.

CDC is headquartered in DeKalb County, Georgia, but it has 10 other locations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Those locations include Anchorage, Alaska; Cincinnati, Ohio; Fort Collins, Colorado; Hyattsville, Maryland; Morgantown, West Virginia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Spokane, Washington; and Washington, D.C. In addition, CDC staff are located in state and local health agencies, quarantine/border health offices at ports of entry, and 45 countries around the world, from Angola to Zimbabwe.

The CDC is up on all kinds of world numbers and gather independent info plus cooperates with other organizations around the world. They keep track of all kinds of medical and pathogen data the world over and things like health care systems in different countries because it can affect U.S. citizens, especially those that travel abroad.



The WHO is a branch of the ineffective U.N. and has political motivations and leanings. All it does is issue statements and collect data from studies done by other organizations and then try and relate information from completely different studies and issue statements on what they think should be done and still fail miserably at it.


The CDC doesn't have a political motivation. If it does, it's pro-U.S. which, in my country, is the best kind of motivation. The CDC also does research of its own and staffs roughly 15,000 employees in 170 different occupations, maybe more. Those position include but aren't limited to engineers, entomologists, epidemiologists, biologists, physicians, veterinarians, behavioral scientists, nurses, medical technologists, economists, health communicators, toxicologists, chemists, computer scientists, and statisticians.

Compared to organizations like the CDC and the health organizations that most other European and Asian countries staff despite the WHO, the WHO is a mickey-mouse, mail-order club that amounts to little more than a talking head meant to service whatever influence is greatest in the U.N. at the time.

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Jamaica off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Down to Kokomo

And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo

Not once did I address anything you stated in your post. No, Castro was not the first commie leader of Cuba. I never even came remotely close to saying that.

But, like what was said already, where is the freedom that Castro promised in his coup? Were the people in the hospitals and insane asylums free to chose? How about all those that he prevents from leaving?

Why do we deport Cubans? Because they are not here legally. Just like we deport Mexicans, Canadians, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, English, etc... Hatians don't get sent back because their lives will be in peril. Therefore they are treated as political refugees and given asylum until the problems in their home country are solved. Then they will be sent back.

I will maintain that Castro is not the leader everyone thinks he is. A good leader works for the good of the people, the country. A bad leader grasps all the power he/she can and rules it his/her way or the highway. A bad leader shoots people who speak out against even an injustice and just say "Hey, what's up with that?" Castro is not a good leader in no way shape or form.

Since the Cubans in South Florida are not good enough, come to NJ. I'll introduce you to some Cubans I know that live in Camden. I'll let them talk to you about Castro. There are thousands of Cubans all over this country waiting, chomping at the bit, for Castro to kick the bucket and things to change so they can return home.

Cuba, as I have said before, is a great country, a beautiful land full of great people. I have great sympathy for Cuba to be plague with such a sorry excuse for a leader as Fidel Castro. I hope that one day Cuba will throw off it's bindings of socialism and let the people of that land decide for themselves what to do with and for Cuba. That day will be a great day because I for one would like to see that country from a view point other than GITMO.

Just some info from the CIA Factbook on Cuba. Give it a good look over. Especially about the People Trafficking reports at the bottom of the page. The WHO says that Cuba has a great health care system. Yeah, the one they report. I wonder how all those minors are doing health-wise? Look at the economic information. Take a look at how Cuba became a free country. Then take a look how Cuba's freedom was taken away again. Take a look at the illicit immigration numbers. The economy shows growth but Cuba's debt load wipes it out. It grows at an average of 7% annually but the money is not there. It's been over 15 years since the Russians stopped funneling money and they still aren't anywhere close to recovering. Why?

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/cu.html

Read the facts. The REAL facts. Michael Moore doesn't have any. He has what Fidel wants him to have so we all think that Cuba is great and communism works.

But I'm done with this. I'm not going to argue facts versus feelings. Cuba will be better off without the current regime in place. It needs to go. Castro is not great by any stretch of the imagination.
