Cuba offered

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.

Gotcha. :)

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.

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.

I'm confused then? 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?

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

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.

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.

: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

Why especially now?

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.

I really don't care whose economy I support. I'd prefer to support our own, but that's not always possible.

 

Where do you get your rose colored glasses

Here is a taste of Cuba:) http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/unseen-cuba-first-aerial-photographs-reveal-islands-spectacular-beauty-1501542

 

I hope that when they do open up.

They have a balloon or helicopter ride.

Such a beautiful country, from seen above.
