It is you who immediately seeks confrontation as soon as one of us europoors criticizes America in literally any way, you immediately jump in and blindly defend it, just like you did now, and it speaks volumes that you even do it while not being informed at all. "Cold war laws" my behind, they are still viable.


You are the first one to blubber about laws, amendments, your constitution and how these damn liburuls violate them with a mighty big mouth, now suddenly you wanna downplay a valid law of your country?
Pure hypocrisy.

Oh, speaking of hypocrisy.
It's cute how you try to act all butt hurt about "star spangled cave" when it is, again, you who constantly says the most despicable things, no matter the context.
You know, like looking down on infantry soldiers because "they're just legs" and not super elite airborne warrior machines, or how you love to bash Europeans for living in chains of oppression (when they don't?) or how you still don't understand that subsim is an international board where everyone can join any debate and isn't automatically excluded from us American topics because he's not a part of the American master race.

So tread carefully and try to live with people calling you out from time to time. If it annoys you, you can stop acting like an indoctrinated cold war Era nationalist who spreads nonsense so often anytime and maybe, just maybe, you're safe from analogies like the above.

You've chosen that shoe for yourself, August.
But as usual, it is everyone else's fault...

It is a Cold War law/embargo and in 1961 it was the thing to do when Castro nationalized U.S. properties and interests and entertained the idea of nuclear weapons on his island. I was born in 60's and the thought of traveling to Cuba has never entered my mind and neither have I ever felt as though my freedom to do so was trampled upon. The embargo never once bothered me because it wasnt imposed upon me for something I did, it was imposed upon Castro because of what Castro did. And having been involved over the years in the Mariel boat lifts, rescuing whole families on rafts and picking 100's of dead cubans, out of the ocean who were forced by their own government to leave and risked everything they had to get to the United States a.k.a. the land of the free, Ive seen suffering. Think about for a moment people hopped on anything that would float using their hands in desperation they paddled out to sea to escape that place. Hoping the currents would take them in the right direction and hoping again someone would see them before they died of thirst, starvation, exposure or shark attack. At the same time the more advanced free society of European tourists with drinks in hand are enjoying their freedom on some sunny beach in Havana turning a blind eye while people are risking their lives to flee that island. F-Cuba I can honestly say I still could care less about going there and and hope it sinks.

They say its "better in the Bahamas" anyway.
