Cuba Criticizes Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Woodsey]

Actual communism doesn't have a government by the way.

Neither does 'actual' Capitalism, but we work with the examples we know.

That's because capitalism is an economic system, not the opposite of communism.

communism is an economic system too. as far as government is concerned, Cuba is an autocracy run by a single party.

It encompasses one, but it's not solely an economic system unlike capitalism.

Well, I never liked USA or CoD. I guess I sympathize with Cuba. Although I'm not a communist, I'm a monarchist.

Word man, word...

Nature huh? yeah, a great option if you don't mind the risk of waiting 60 years for the actual hit. I'll stick with more traditional agencies. Nature, deadly but terribly unreliable.

What are you talking about? Life is fatal in all known cases. That's pretty reliable. Just inconsistent.

Not quite, you are correct in your assumption that life will eventually kill you. But if I want a guy dead in 2 weeks I'm not gonna sit back and hope life gets him. I will make a personal effort to do him in. Life as an assassin is unreliable and inconsistent, but It will get there in the end. I guess one could say, don't leave these things to chance or fickle powers.

All this is debatable of course...we might end up having to submit an essay.

how the hell do you fail to assasinate someone 600 times!?!

By some reports. Probably meaning Cuba state media.

"Fidel Castro found a hair in his soup this morning, obviously an attempt by American secret agencies to kill our glorious leader with poisoned hair follicles."

*I grew up in the Caribbean and contrary to what US media protrays most of us in the Caribbean have no problem at all with Castro and his governement (and neither do most Cubans).

sorry but that's downright ignorance right there

Sorry but I am more informed of the history than most. Such as the fact that Castro did organise democracy and the democratically elected govenment proceeded to literly ram a pickup truck into the treasuary and steal the countries money and flee. Castro (who was living in florida) then returned to sort out the termoil that was caused.
Also as a case point, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, both next door and both with democracy, both far less developed than Cuba (both are without scantions from any country, while Cuba is limited by trade). Main reason is the level of corruption (Haiti I know for certain) in the democraticlly elected governments, impeding economic growth.
Another fact is the Cuba is on the road to joining CARICOM (Caribbean Community) and those in charge there seem to have little issue with the state of affairs in Cuba.
Cuba has also got FREE state education up to University level, for anyone who can manage it. Compare that with the US where college and University have to be paid for.
Cuba has a fairly high standard of living and a low level of poverty, low deathrates and is considered (geographically) as one of the better countries in the Caribbean. Haiti on the other hand is the worst in the whole world on most geographic indicators.
Contrary to popluar belief there is an oppisition party in Cuba, people are not shot dead for disagreeing with the government and Cubans are not in a mad rush to leave.

You have a quick look at that info and see what your opinion is, all are facts.

*I have left out the negative side as most are already familiar with the argument against. I am not saying it is right or wrong, just informing so people have the best possible understanding before choosing what they wish to conclude

tell that to all the Cubans i know.

I would reply ask all the ones who have stayed (same goes for others who have left their countries of birth). We all have our reasons for going but very often they don't reflect the feelings for those who have stayed.

The only Response is a game involving the assasination of the current U.S President.

-If there is no outcry then Cuba doesnt have a case.
-If there is a massive outcry from the U.S then there point is valid.

Honestly, if someone made a game where to assasinated a former president (Bush, Clinton, ect), I'd probably laugh and have fun. *crosses fingers for Jimmy Carter(was that in bad taste?)*
Castro is no longer the leader of Cuba (I believe his brother is), but since he IS still alive I guess it is in bad taste.

Go criticize your bad economy. Come back when done.

What does that have to do with anything?

Stupid post is stupid...

They lost by even admitting all that. Don't those people have better things to do? Apparently, not.
