Not saying everyone should live like us here in the states but it's time for our government to extend an olive branch to our Cuban neighbors.
...or most likely to stop screwing their everyday lifes with an unfair and illegal commercial ban on the hole country

Go away. Your points have no logical backing and are just unfocused hate at the US. The US embargo has had almost no effect on Cuba. In fact, Cuba is doing much better than other island nations that the US DOES trade with.
"hole country" Freudian slip perhaps?
YOU ARE A FXXKING COMMUNIST !, repeating what the Cuban media wants stupids like you to think. I was physically and mentally tortured by the Cuban government, just for thinking different, I had to leave my country and leave in exile, maybe it was due to that blockade you talk about...
The CUBAN GOVERNMENT is the only blockade Cubans have.
Death to Castro !, Viva Cuba LIBRE !
Just refusing any political idea that difers from what your sistem tells you and from what you see in the news... so american... and then naive white people wonder why most of the world hates or dispites them...
And as James said:
"well technically its quite hard for the Cubans to get hold of things, seeing as one on the conditions of the US embargo is that no cargo ship that visits Cuba can dock at a US port for 6months, meaning its quite bad for business to visit Cuba!"
My comment was for you Balan Herrera, stupid communist...
Balan is quite close to Balar which in spanish is the sound the sheep do. In cuba the guys who repeat and obey the government are called sheep...
Acidscan, where i am from (Mexico City) we call people like you "asquerosos gusanos capitalistas vendidos al imperio".
I dont ask you to think like me, but dont offend me if you expect some respect.
oh my gosh Herrera! please! read a book! when was the last time your country cured some horrible disease??? America does it all the time. why? because of capitalism. the ability to prosper. the option to succeed. In Cuba that does not exist. I love Cuba, it is the land of my blood; but that country is in shambles because of communism. I work hard to advance myself and my family which I can do because i live in America... in Cuba, you cannot do that. Even if you work hard, you gain nothing. That is not a society, that is a prison.
Eddy Alvarez, acidscan, you can't really argue with people like this. You can try, but you're wasting you're time. I mean, you read what he called you. But I understand that it's harder to ignore jackasses when they are promoting ideas that have actually harmed you personally.
@ eddie
Cuba has a better healthcare system thatn america, douchebag
@Balar-Balam-Sheep-whatever: I don't expect respect from a communist, I don't even expect that their brains are capable enough to know what respect means, because they don't respect themselves...
@Dan
I was going to argue that point with you, but I am actually convinced that you are just a troll. But if you actually believe that, then I guess propaganda works.
In Havana (been there a couple of times,) you see three slogans everywhere, 'Vamos Bien' ('It's going well,' gotta love the optimism!,) 'Hasta la victoria siempre' (Ché's last words to the Cuban parliament,) and such-and-such 'contra el bloqueo.' The latter is far and away the most prevalent - not only does the blockade not work, it strengthens the régime.
yep, all these people promoting socialism are all brainwashed by the evil cuban media whose reach is everywhere, while in no way we can consider people being indoctrinated by the american media, as their objectivity has been proven and only americans are influenced by them anyways, right? oh wait...
Also, according to some people here apparently without capitalism nothing could ever be invented. The last time I heard something was from some Randian zealots who didn't believe in the existence of the Sputnik, citing a socialistic system could never produce it.
And, saying that Cuba is doing better than other Caribbean countries despite being under an embargo, is not something I would consider negative, and (but, actually, there is one island nation there doing better than Cuba, but they have only surpassed Cuban economy after the fall of the Soviet Union, when Cuba lost its main trading partner), so I would see some truth in "vamos bien" if they are actually doing better than their capitalist counterparts, under severe sanctions.
I'm not saying Cuba is paradise or whatever, but it seems that some people here need to take their own advice, and read a book.
also, Cuba having better healthcare than US is propaganda? Well, CIA and UN both seem to have bought it...
