alfaeric Posted November 11, 2015 #76 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm not the one who said that. I was trying to be sensible, not name calling. I realize that- just trying to follow your rational comment with a similar rational comment. Both are happening in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted November 11, 2015 #78 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Gotcha. :) Ones of these days, I do hope to share a cruise with you. It's always nice to read your posts. Sorry about the OT, but just wanted to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted November 11, 2015 #79 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Interesting that you try to point out that people forget or ignore that. Well you really can't deny that but that wasn't my point. If someone can't ignore it then why the need to criticize them for it and did I miss the 'flaming liberal' comment...never mind, I just read it.

Why did you need to post the one sided history lesson? Were you not being critical of people who you thought forgot that Cuba did all of those things?

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 11, 2015 #81 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I shop plenty. The device I'm typing on was purchased from Japanese company. How or where they procured it from really isn't my concern nor is it my concern how they spent my money after I gave it to them. But in the end your money supports the Chinese government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted November 11, 2015 #82 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Were you not being critical of people who you thought forgot that Cuba did all of those things? Sorry if you took it that way but no. It was directed at those that feel the need to justify going by trivializing the reasons why others won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandZ Posted November 11, 2015 #83 Share Posted November 11, 2015 i cant get through all this, but in case someone wants two cents' worth of opinion... i am a refugee from a communist country and i have no issue with visiting Cuba. and it's not because my moral compass is off or because I am somehow less of a patriotic American. and let's not talk politics because it has very little to do with it. i am a conservative.. it's because i understand that my money will benefit the very people that are suffering under the regime.. and because i look at my travels as an opportunity to learn.

scootersdad Posted November 11, 2015 #84 Share Posted November 11, 2015 :eek: I'll spend about $800 to go on a cruise (not counting port fees, grats, and drink packages).Max. Beyond that, it simply isn't worth it. No cruise is. Agree. No cruise is worth it especially now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Cares? Posted November 11, 2015 #86 Share Posted November 11, 2015 But in the end your money supports the Chinese government No, my money supports a Japanese company. Do you worry about where you money goes after you buy something? Even if you do, your opinion is purely speculative and cannot be proven one way or the other. Trying stirring the pot somewhere else.
