    Nah. You don't care.
    Just like everyone here screaming about it -- if you cared, you'd demand changes that would actually do something to protect the kids, not use the kids as a means to further a political agenda.

    You don't think thats a real Cuban espresso? Surely its not hard to believe that Castro committed murder, as is popular with leftists.


    Political executions[edit]
    Various estimates have been made in order to ascertain the number of political executions carried out on behalf of the Cuban government since the revolution. Within the first two months of the 1959, Castro's government performed more than 300 executions of Batista officials,[21] with Latin American historian Thomas E. Skidmore says that there had been 550 executions in the first six months of 1959.[22] In an April 1961 UPI story, the agency stated that about "700 have died before Castro's firing squads" between 1959 and 1961.[23] The World Handbook of Political and Social Indicators ascertained that there had been 2,113 political executions between the years 1958–67,[22] while British historian Hugh Thomas, stated in his study Cuba or the pursuit of freedom[24] that "perhaps" 5,000 executions had taken place by 1970.[22] According to Amnesty International, the total number of death sentences issued from 1959–87 was 237, of which all but 21 were actually carried out.[25] The anti-Castro Archivo Cuba estimates that 4,000 people were executed in Cuba between 1959 and 2016. The Black Book of Communism estimated that between 15,000 and 17,000 people were executed by the state.[26]

    The vast majority of those executed directly following the 1959 revolution were policemen, politicians and informers for the Batista regime who were accused of crimes such as torture and murder, and their public trials and executions enjoyed widespread popular support among the Cuban population. Most scholars agree that those executed were probably guilty as charged, but their trials did not follow due process.[27][28] The Cuban Government justified such measures on the grounds that the application of the death penalty in Cuba against war criminals and others followed the same procedure as the one previously followed by the Allies during the Nuremberg trials. Some Cuban scholars maintain that had the government not applied severe legislation against the torturers, terrorists, and other criminals employed by the Batista regime, the people themselves would have taken justice into their own hands.[29]

    You can also read there about "human rights" there. 10% of the population has fled since the leftists took over.

    Irrelevant to the point I made - neither you nor the people screaming for more gun control actually care about the kids.

    As you know, we don't have a king, we have a queen - for all the good the woman does! But then she's a doggy person, so it goes with the territory. :eek:

    Well hey, you tell us how to run our country - or at least your so-called 'leaders' do. As a matter of fact, I don't care how you run yours, nor would I presume to advise you on it, but if you don't want Brits here then why not present your case to the site owner and the moderators, rather than make snidey off-stage comments to other posters?

    Kindly don't psychoanalyze me. I said I care about the kids, and I do.

    If it was in jest then I apologize, Bluesguy - sometimes nuances are missed or misinterpreted in this medium. Pax?
