Fidel Castro Dead at 90 - Reaction Mixed

[Loch]

And our PM has confirmed he is a big idiot!!!

How so? How does his comment affect the situation in Cuba? International condolences are basically the news equivalent of toilet paper. Some people shit on them and then they're gone into the void. Nobody has ever made a policy decision based on a tweet about the death of a head of state.


No, the real idiots that allowed Castro to stay in power so long were the US foreign policy idiots who thought that an embargo was the way to go. Building a wall around a dictator just saves them from doing it themselves.

Castro is in the same vein as Hitler and Genghis Khan? Really? Sometimes I think you say things with the intention of being controversial and stirring shit up...

Rylant

not controversial just the truth. id say its much more controversial to try and defend the man

trudeaus comments were total dumbassery. just like harpers comments when king abdullah kicked the bucket. politicians are scumbags and their need to say nice things about dead people who were despicable human beings is a joke.

He was a patriotic leader. He wanted Cuba to be Cuba and not a banana republic overtaken by American Influences. He was a polarizing leader obviously, but I think inside Cuba he did more than what others would have done.

You can say that again... he killed tens of thousands of Cubans. Don't know many others who would have done more than that lol

This thread is a really good example of how humans waste a lot of passionate energy on the dead.

It's just a measure of basic education, that's all (and you're projecting ).

and you used this measure of basic education as a way to cast judgement on an individual did you? do you often use your perception of someones education level as a way of deciding whether to ridicule them or not?

I've stated many times I think that all humans are a virus that should be eradicated from the planet if it has any hopes of survival. Nothing I've said here wavers from that.
