All laws are malleable, our govenment, Constitution, all of it is a living breathing document subject to adjustment as time changes. The next 8 months should be interesting, as will the following 4 years.

So now nobody in the Cellar is allowed to point out flaws in the system that piss them off unless they are actively working to fix those flaws?

I don't want to waste my time fighting an uphill battle with the US Government to change the Cuba policy. It's not a priority for me. It doesn't mean I can't complain about it, or point out the flaws.

Glatt, my backlash "do something" really wasn't intended for you (and yes, I did direct it to you). It was more about those who are bashing the US and its policies yet either don't live here or don't do anything to change it.

Yes, we are all allowed to criticize, and most of us do! It just gets to me to read someones continual ranting (and it wasn't yours) when they do nothing.

So, go ahead and sit on your lazy arse and complain. I do it all the time!

Ok, seriously, the only nation we have restrictions on is Cuba. There's still 190 others to go to. Not sure this is really comparable to East Germany not letting its people step foot in any non-Communist nation. We allow our poeple to go to Communist nations, Islamic nations, Socialist nations, Fascist nations...

Also, how often do you hear about people being fined and/or arrested for going to Cuba? You can bet many of the people that go are wealthy and famous, and if they were harassed, it would be front page news. Heck, the liberal media would make a big deal about anyone getting busted for going to Cuba, just to insult the government. So, fly to Mexico, hop on a flight to Cuba.
There are also a ton of other nations we do not have direct flights to. Tonga comes to mind. A nice Methodist nation. Just way too small and too far away for a direct flight. But I wouldn't mind visiting Tonga.

We actually do have people who go to Cuba for business and limited trade. My neighbor is one of them. They import food goods and health care items from the US on a regular basis.

Why would I want to do something that would get me busted? When did I ever give you the impression that I was looking to get busted to make a political point?

[regular.joe]

I wouldn't call it a flaw, personally. Glatt, you have the right to complain! I'd be glad to listen.

Huh. AD really IS a twat.

Why does everyone pick on my user title? Marichiko used to do that, and so did Dov...and Hugo Chavez...

It's because your character is so extremely far removed from anything resembling humble, budhist enlightenment. I would say that you are the anti-budhist and yet you chose Budha as your sig. Strange.

No, my title was a gift from a fellow Dwellar. Um, you know nothing about me, AD. I find all your presumptions amusing. And you seem really angry---being a teenager is a confusing and emotional time. Hang in there and things will get better as you move thru life! Best of luck to you!

wow, i think we have a new winner of the "Most Annoying New Dwellar" award. It's been quite awhile since we had such a pompous clueless ass show up here.

AD, if you knew the background behind Brianna's user title, I hope you wouldn't have said what you just said.

It is a reference to her present lack of hair and thin appearance.

This is caused by her chemotherapy.

Yes, she has cancer.

How do you feel now?

You've said some things I agreed with, and some things I didn't like. I haven't yet made up my mind about you ... but your next post should just about let me know.
