I think most people are somehow willing to give Cuba a pass and vacation there because it is a small country that minds its own business and is not a threat to anybody, as far as I know. Whether we go or not is irrelevant, imo, as the regime will not change. Yugoslavia wasn't exactly a shining example of human rights, yet our tourist industry was huge. So is Egypt and other countries.

Your moral rationalization is impressive. Pathetic but impressive

See what i did there? Interested in the moral gymnastics to defend this now.

Of course everybody does. You once again high jacked a thread that had nothing to do with Cuba because of your ongoing obsession with me. If you actually went to Cuba, you might have an idea of what you're talking about instead of constantly making an ass out of yourself.

My point is certain people rejoice in cheap vacations to places that trample basic human rights and blindly ignore the facts.


I do condemn both Brunei and Cuba, my question is why don't others?



For the same reason some don't condemn Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, Thailand, Philippines and a good majority of the world for their human rights abuses. Others don't condemn Canada, Australia or the U.S for the historical (and continuing) human rights abuses in regards to their native people.

People throw stones at other countries with selective outrage while ignoring what is going on in their own backyard.

Just curious as to what current human rights atrocities the US, Canada and Australia are committing?

+1. He is just nuts.

I just find the hypocrisy of you condemning one country for violating human rights while full bore endorsing another violator pathetic.

Here's an imperfect analogy. Jamaica is a paradise, as long as you stay on resort.

How so? Have I made up the ladies in white? The lack of civil rights? The fact people can't emigrate?
