Nicaraguan maids are hot!





On a side note: How many raft people do we see from Venezuela? Why are Venezuelans being treated better than Haitians? Does anyone in here care to argue the point that Venezuelans are worse of politically/economically than the Haitians? Anyone want to ponder why the congress’s 4 most prominent proponents of the Cuban American lobby are the same congress people pushing this issue? Anyone want to show us all the statistics on wealth and “race” for those Venezuelans that are seeking “asylum”? I would assume they couldn’t be rich and “white” could they?



Back to the subject:

you dont even have to go to other countries to see this shit either, its right in your face if you watch anything other than mtv/bet. not saying americas perfect but you have more opportunities in this country than any other, imagine if you werent ALLOWED to get an education or a decent paying job. you lived your whole life knowing from the jump that all you would ever be is a fucking pee-on, that regardless of what you did you could never escape that. if you feel like that in america then you need to travel out of your box and see the world.
i probably been to more countries then you thas the funny thing about what you sayin there.......

im not talkin about OPPORTUNITIES and "WHAT IS POSSIBLE" im talkin about what ACTUALLY OCCURS....i know entire city bloccs here in stoccton that consisit of poor ass cambodians who fled here from thier country thinkin it would be a better place but they live in 3rd world conditions right here in america......and i have cambodian homies who tell me themself that thier parents regret coming here cuz its not that much different except now they live in a city fulla people they cant understand or get along with because of thier differences.....they grow thier own vegetables...have goats and pigs in the house......seen people who actually ripped up floors to grow rice in thier bedroom.....shits crazy.....i mean its partly thier culture anyways but they have to really survive like this cuz its hard for the older ones to learn english and get good jobs and the younger ones fall into the wrong crowd and start gang banging and selling drugs....then they end up in prison or dead......pretty much what would of happened to them in thier own country.....i didnt say it was great in thier homeland or better than here im jus sayin that a lot of these immigrants had a different idea of what they were comin to when they left home........

of course everyone has a "chance".....any of us can go to vegas and win a jaccpot too but that dont mean its gonna happen......

maybe he's not as good as all you non-residents of his country think either. or did that possibility never enter your train of thought?
Chavez has won each and every election with landslide victories so that must say something about how the majority of residents of Venezuela feel about him.

Most all of the poor and working class love Chavez, the upper class (many of the white, or light skinned Venezuelans) hate Chavez for selfish reasons (they fear he will take away some of their wealth or make it more difficult to continue to exploit the working class).

Since Chavez has been in power he has certainly changed the country for the better on almost all levels (eduction, health care, economy, etc.)

i actually dont disagree with you 20sixx, but my issue is with people who feel that americas "poor" have it just as bad as any other country out there when that is furthest from the truth. did you notice the usa today pieces on venezuela recently? they had a 3 day spread on it.

my point is that people act like america being a place to succeed is a lie to entice immigrants here so they can be enslaved. thats a crock of shit. you and i both know that the american poor are faaaaaaar ahead of the poor in most other countries and have MANY more options for escape. nobody is being tricked into coming to america for opportunity. a poor person in venezuela has a shorter ceiling for success than an american thats just how it is and its worse in other countries.

I haven't heard the argument that america's poor is just as bad as Venezuela or any other country. Maybe I missed that in this thread. I certainly don't hold that belief.

did you notice the usa today pieces on venezuela recently? they had a 3 day spread on it.
Nah, can you direct me to it?

my point is that people act like america being a place to succeed is a lie to entice immigrants here so they can be enslaved. thats a crock of shit. [/quotes]

Yes, that is a crock of shit.

you and i both know that the american poor are faaaaaaar ahead of the poor in most other countries and have MANY more options for escape.
Nothing like that third world poverty.

nobody is being tricked into coming to america for opportunity. a poor person in venezuela has a shorter ceiling for success than an american thats just how it is and its worse in other countries.
I don't disagree with you.

I didn't read most of this thread, I was only commenting on your reply to I AM. It seemed as if you were saying that none of us "non-residents" of Venezuela truly know how bad of a guy Chavez is.

FROM WHAT I GATHERED ABOUT CHAVEZ IN THE ARTICLE IS HE REALLY CARES ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA AND WANTS THEM LIFTED OUT OF POVERTY (WHICH IS EXTREME IN SOME PARTS OF THAT COUNTRY) IM GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK INTO HIM A LITTLE MORE THAN I HAVE SINCE I HAVE BEEN ANTI CHAVEZ DUE TO HIS SOCIALIST "AGENDA". BUT HEY, IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO BRING THAT COUNTRY OUT OF ITS RUT SO BE IT AS LONG AS HE IS AS POPULAR AS HE IS, EVEN IF THE RICH FOLKS GOTTA MOVE TO AMERICA TO SAVE THEIR MONEY (LOL). IS THAT REALLY WHERE THOSE REFUGEES ARE COMING FROM OR IS THERE REALLY CONCERN OF A DICTATORSHIP? I STILL DONT BELIEVE IN WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION BUT........... AS LONG AS IT DOESNT GET TO THE POINT WHERE PEOPLE ARE IMPRISONED FOR NOT BELIEVING IN HIS SYSTEM THATS FINE WITH ME. CENSORSHIP OF OPPOSING VOICES SHOULD BE DESPISED IN ANY SITUATION. I SHOULD BE MORE UP ON THIS. I USED TO LIVE IN MARACAIBO AS A YOUNG CHILD WITH MY GRANDPARENTS WHILE MY MOM WAS GETTING HER SHIT TOGETHER.

I saw a few people in this thread who wanted to retire in Holland...
I would only trade this country to retire in South-America I am alergic to cold man.

Ontopic: I think Chavez has a positive effect on Venezuela and surrounding countries. I read and heard a few things from people who were there with the elections, and the way they were held was amazing. Can't say they could have been manipulated in anyway

Good post SeisoSlim41510.

Being a socialist myself I pay very close attention to Venezuela and the revolutionary situation throughout Latin America in general. Even though I have spoken to several people from Venezuela that support Chavez, as well as members of the socialist organization I am involved with visiting Venezuela on a regular basis and even have our own party established there, it's always good to talk to others that are actually from there and have family living there because I cannot forget that it's people like you who have the most at stake.
