I know for faq that Cubans don't like the Castros they fear what may happen if they go against the army the have. Many Cubans in the island have been killed and put into jail for trying to start something agaisnt them. Thats gotta be mess up where you are paying taxes for the army to exist yet they are used agaisnt their own people.

Let us not being totally naive on the power of the people , moreso when a regime is so reprehensible as you seem to believe it is...

I'd compare the DR to Cuba alongst side by side on universal parameters (e.g. literacy, life expectancy, infant mortality) and then see the so called freedom price the cubans have paid and then question if you are as free in DR ?? Can you get a drink on the street at 1:00 AM?

In conclucsion, there is no way that regime and the changes it made would survive if the country wasnt behing them.... Ask chavez... hahahah!@

No I havent been to Cuba....

Nor have I been to IRak nor the moon....

this doenst mean much when counterpostioning poltical or social platforms.

I knwo that getting a drink at wee hours isnt important to intellectuals as you, but for a bum like me , it means everything.....

The essence of what I originally meant is that the Castro regime isnt as bad as you are lead to believe, bcs history has shown us that the people's temper has limits and if ALL the stuff you may start to unleash were true, they would have ousted the regime scores ago !

I ask you how much more freer are dominicans than cubans?

Freedom is relative, and certainly as in the movie Children of Men, Freedom is not free!



I believe Raul recently said that he would release the container loads of political prisoners that they have in exchange for the prisoners the US had....

Belly:

You are terrribly naive in what concerns freedom.

The reason the regime is still in power bcs most cubans there support them adn even many international leaders as well.,

as for being 'free' to roam into those fancy tourist hotes , DOMINICANS CANT WALTZ IN TO THOSE FANCY HOTELS IN BAVARO EITHER !!! However, they do get to live longer and know how to read and write! You seem to favor keeping our fellow dominicans illitrate.... the first step to real freedom is to learn to read and write (i think che said that or something like that)..

so please make stronger arguments agianst the regime than those.

Belly previously said:



Is funny that you say that Dominican can't go to hotels in Bavaro because my brother who is by the way taking the weekend off is actually there now and guess what he happens to be Dominican too anyways. By the way i'm not going to answer your last part because they don't even make sence or are worth responding to.

Take a look at what Freedom of speech really is because based on your statements you don't even know what it really is. Read it and understand it before getting back to me because i don't want to take up you Brugal time or my personal time either

Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes used to denote not only freedom of verbal speech but any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are closely related to, yet distinct from, the concept of freedom of thought. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, such as on "hate speech".

The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as "the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression".[1][2] Furthermore freedom of speech is recognized in European, inter-American and African regional human rights law.
