CUBA, whats the deal with this small island?
Our military leaders “wanted a WAR”, and didn’t get it with them! Thank GOD, as they had tactical nukes ready for our military! Yet after nearly 50 years, we keep them isolated, and off limits to us! You can go there, but only thru Mexico! We were totally embarrasseded in Viet Nam, yet, we’ve kissed the commies butts, and have trade with them!
But refuse Cuba the benefits of a mutual friendship. Which would help both countries economies, and have kept a tite grip on this nation, while paying them millions of $$ for the US Military base there! I just don’t understand the Political/Economical side of this. We pay them, and we get nothing in return! I hope our new president changes this misalignmentment of stupidity! Castro has out lived at least 10 US presidents, who follows someones orders not to be politically correct with them! Whose running this monkey show anyway! Why not get along with them, rather than try so hard to be their enemy!
easy on who you are calling stupid there!I get riled prety easy when someone insults my country, and our people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know its great to live in the USA, I’ve traveled the planet(mostly with the military). And I’m still
learning everyday! And yes, i am naive about a lot of things! thanks for the info, and for being polite about it!

Spanish help again?
El gringo típico, el turista norteamericano, es un tipo muy interestante cuando viaja a México. Por ejemplo, comunmente no sabe hablar ni leer español–y no quiere aprender, y espera que todo el mundo hable inglés. Este tipo no toma agua porque le tiene miedo a los microbios. No come tomate porque, créalo o no, porque supone que es veneno. No le gusta la comida mexicana. Dice que es muy picante. El gringo típico es rico. Vive en un hotel y gasta mucho dinero. No tiene respeto para con los mexicanos, no aprecia nuestras costumbres.
El gringo típico piensa que todos los mexicanos son bandidos o tontos. Piensa que México es una colonia norteamericana. ¡Imagínese! Nosotros tomamos a este tipo de personas por idiotas ignorantes. Sin embargo no todos los gringos so tontos. Por ejemplo, los voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz no son tontos. Ellos son diferentes, distintos. Ellos hablan y entienden español, saben leer y escribir nuestra lengua, y están acostumbrados a la comida picante. A ellos les gusta comer tacos, enchiladas, chiles rellenos. Los voluntarios del cuerpo de paz aprecian a la gente mexicana y sus costumbres. Ellos viven, comen y andan con el pueblo. Claro que no todos los voluntarios son iguales. Algunos son inteligentes, pero otros no. Algunos son disciplinados y diligentes, pero otros no. Algunos trabajan arduamente, pero otros no…
I asked this question yesterday but there is also some questions regarding the text I have to answer so hopefully someone can help me:
1. What are five characteristics for the typical North American tourist?
2. What are three misconceptions typical tourists have about Mexico and the people there?
3. What do most Mexicans that about this kind of tourist?
4. What are four reasons why the Mexicans likes Peace Corps volunteers?
5. What are three ways that Peace Corps volunteers are different from each other?
I’ve already been told that this passage is offensive and I’m not trying to offend anyone but this was the assignment given to me in class from the teacher.
Its a homestudy correspondence course. I don’t know the name of the teacher. I would rather not give out the name of the school cause its a really good school and I don’t want to give them a bad name.

Naruto ep 226?

Cops say legalize drugs ask me why?what do you think?
Prohibition does not prevent cannabis use by children or the mentally ill, the vulnerable populations whom we supposedly want to protect. Instead, cannabis prohibition makes it more difficult for parents, patients, society, and doctors to control cannabis use.
The Drug War makes honest education about cannabis impossible, and leaves cannabis users marginalized in ways that make their lives more stressful. This stress is unhealthy for everyone, but it is certainly most damaging to people with schizophrenia.
Cannabis prohibition is not merely a failure; it is a counterproductive fraud that is harming those whom we claim we want to protect. There are currently more teens in treatment centers for marijuana in comparison to those admitted for alcohol.
Only an idiot would have to ask why alcohol is not the no#1 problem
after all alcohol is perfectly legal ( If you are 21.) That is due to responsible people handling alcohol by way of the carding and id system.
Contraband markets make no age disgression.
Since the crackdown on tobacco there are 75% fewer teens trying or using tobacco.
However when it comes to cannabis and other illicit substances it’s a whole
other ball game.
Control, regulation and better education work prohibition dose not.
Or as John Walters of the ondcp (Office for national drug control policy) calls it “ a war on drugs” (Sorry John but it’s true look at the Netherlands)
America loves a war even if it is on it’s own people.
One of several reason they don’t legalize drugs is not because of the harm of drugs,
But people would lose more money in the long run.
Some of the people behind the support of this irrational so called war are
The tobacco industry, the alcohol and distilled spirit industry ( people simply don’t drink as much, or decide not to drink at all with cannabis meaning a decline in there sales.
The pharmaceutical corporations can not make money on whole or raw cannabis, but they can charge an arm and a leg for there synthetic Marinol (dronabinol) CIII.
The textile and paper industry would lose out from hemp production, sinse hemp dose not need to go through all the various processes that ordinary tree products would. Also it’s possible to get two harvest in in one season.
However people don’t know the difference between industrial hemp and smokable cannabis, yet they are able to distinguish between the two in other country’s like Germany, the UK , Netherlands and even Canada, but our `DEA agents are so dumb they cant tell the difference between a stalk and a bush.
The petroleum industry would be affected, sinse almost everything that can be made from petroleum can be synthesized from hemp oil, everything from bio fuel to even plastics. If North America would use a third of it’s land for hemp production we could create enough biofuel to supply an area the size of Canada.
Now also for a moment consider how many people are incarcerated over just cannabis who are currently in the prisons and jails.
If cannabis were legalized and all inmates serving time for cannabis were freed there would be an over abundance of empty cells, and millions of guards in this country would be no longer needed.
The prison building industry would almost be obsolete ( and if all drugs were legalized that would mean even more empty cells.
So the prison system must have some means of gaining more inmates.
Not to mention other areas such as treatment centers, probation.etc
or HIDTA high intensity drug traffic areas where money is fed in to law enforcement,
(they would miss there green $$$)
Drugs , not even alcohol are the cause of the fundamental ills of society, rather than checking people for the presence of drugs, they should first test people for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

A eternidade é Tua.
E, na eternidade, seremos lembrados
não como pontos insignificantes deste mundo real
mas como folhas sadias que, em um certo momento,
floresceram nos ramos da Árvore da Vida.
Estas folhas caem da árvore, mas não caem no esquecimento,
Porque Tu sempre Te lembrarás delas”.
*addtional note:
if you would be so kind not to give me what it means or its summary. it is a part of a literature. thanks!
