Just send them to live and teach there for a year. No coming back, no greenbacks, no pot, some light prison if they engage in homosexual acts, or black market, or if they read whatever cagastro forbids, or if they protest because of the blackouts and the poor quality of the rice cookers, of if they go into a hotel, or talk back to a cop... and you will see all of them coming like lightning to write comments in this blog! But hey, I remembered that regular Cubans don't have unmonitored intenet access!

Have you noticed how these luminaries of philosophy and social sciences think that cagastro and Cuba are the same thing or that are least they are exchangeable terms? Amazing! That tells us a lot about the crappy state of the education at universities and colleges. The amount of indoctrination and mental poisoning is simply impossible to estimate with any level of accuracy.
They are doing whatever is in their hands in an attempt to destroy the future of this country by poisoning young brilliant minds.

I want to vomit after reading this. These guys are beyond useful idiots, theyre willing idiots.

I go to Tulane, which has a "Cuban Studies Department". I haven't been inside their office yet, anyone here know anything about it (Pro/anti Castro, etc.)?

One would be tempted to laugh at the sheer madness of this, another notch in the belt of cagastro. Forty-six years of tyranny continues. However, it's not funny. It's devastatingly heartbreaking. Tens of thousands of deaths. So much destruction and heartbreak. The broken, separated families. The watery graveyard called the Florida straights. Damn them.

Kathleen, sometimes you have to highlight asburdity with absurdity.

Imagine this: "learned" men and women of letters, steeped in the great traditions of Western philosophy -- Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes -- going to Cuba, meeting (and breaking bread) with the representatives of one the most murderous regimes in the history of mankind, and then parroting what he wants said in a statement that tows his party line? It is completely absurd! Yet it happened. You cannot make this stuff up.

Just remember that we -- la Mafia de Miami -- are the rude ones, the intransigent ones, the intolerant ones, the crazy ones. As the great film director Akira Kurosawa once quipped, "In a mad world only the mad are sane."

Indeed George. I'm sitting here weeping, shaking, I'm so angry. Does anyone have a list of the names of these bloody handed bastards?

Well, let's shine the light of perspective unto this little circus shall we..
News Source: Prensa Latina (Can’t you just smell the stench of bullshit?)
Meeting takes place.. Havana University??
A fucking bastion of free speech and morality!
WELL – hell.. did we expect any other kind of press release come out of this feces perculator?

Right of the bat these idiots were NOT there to speak badly of The Beast.
They werent even going to DISCUSS The Beast.
Now you have people self-described as Philosophers and Sociologists
(Yeah pretty much some pricks with overblown opinions of themselves with half a brain cause the other half they lost in the 60s while "tripping , man"... Hell opinions are like asshole everyone has one.. so there you are.

So you have a viper’s nest kissing each other’s ass for being vipers and how cool it is to be a communist viper. The “Family gathering” as it were, cappice?

Now… as the Cult propaganda goes to work and tells you that they have had 98 bizillion tourists, what independent body was there to confirm these pricks did indeed were there and fellate each other?
For all we know there was NO meeting and no philosopher from the USA was there.
Did we GET names with this or they are all incognito ?

Whenever I post anything from Prensa Latina I do so with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I post these as a comedic alternative to serious news from the MSM (rimshot). I will bet a week's salary that the imbeciles in the MSM read this and actually take it seriously! So much for the Columbia School of Journalism...

But yet they say nothing about librarians, journalists, poets and human rights activists imprisoned in Cuba. These people are frauds.

What these pseudo-intellectuals have to say is vague but in reality, meaningless.

BogG, I disagree. What they say is not meaningless because these words are lapped up and spewed out by the left in defense of their anti-American love for castro. It's ironic how he uses the free speech rights of other nations to succor support for the repression of those rights in Cuba

.

Exactly Kathleen, using the rights they have here to suppress the same rights to which the people of Cuba are entitled by the Grace of God and of which they are denied by the brute force of cagastro!

Academics, eschmilemics! I haven't seen one single name or credential cited. If they do exist, I want to see their credentials as to what qualifies their stupidity and moronical insensibility. Esta el energumino que hace ola!

Since these pseudointellectuals and their whining camp followers think of all anti-kagasstro Cubans as a rude Mafia mob, why not fulfill their expectations? Should they ever be foolish enough and attempt a similar, kagasstro-friendly gathering within reach of the "rude Miami Mafia," why not regale them with a multi-cultural experience, such as extended bamboo-caning sessions, Singapore-style? They could use some fiber in their diet in hopes they'll excrete all the compacted shit inside their skulls.
