Tourism, tourism, tourism. Fat, sunburnt, drunk and loudmouthed Americans everywhere! Poor Cuba... I've heard their healthcare system isn't too shabby. Hmmmm, Belize is looking less inviting.

Cuba has the most strict gun control laws in the world.
Cuba has little to no freedom of speech, see above
Cuba has evicted and taxed the "evil" business owners out of the country.
Cuba has free health care but no medicine, see above.

And some you tell this man fuck off and do something about it, REALLY???????

This is incoherent, even for you! Are you equating freedom of speech with gun ownership?

Who exactly is "this man" that I'm supposed to tell to fuck off and what is the "it" that he (or I?) needs to do something about and what is the "something"?

While I'm at it, where's your support for your assertion that Cuba's gun laws are the strictest in the world, permits little or no freedom of speech, places high taxes on businessmen and suffers from a shortage of medicine?

If there is a shortage, could it be that our pointlessly cruel embargo is at least partly responsible for it?

Oh!

But that was incoherent too.

Also mostly lies.

Potty mouth! Nobody told Julio to fuck off. Calm down, Jack. You're not helping.

Freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are linked at the hip.

Only if you assume that democracy is a failed experiment.
