You see i tried to go to school to upgrade and then carry on to further post secondary education but the school went bk before I attended leaving me to repay the sl of 16k... hence no further education... i really can't compare my situation to others on here. so all I have are opinions, unfounded and uneducated. Trust me i wish i was equiped to battle wits with you and others in this thread but alas i know when im whipped. by the way i dsagree with you still on the commodity point.I will trade you your education for my job as a car salesmen any day of the week. you will always be able to use your education as a tradeable bargaining tool for employment.. me I sell cars.... wanna trade my opinions are all i have. i have voiced them, wether asked for or appreciated or wanted I gave them.

Cargo,

The ironic thing is that  your opinions represent, according to the last polls, 90% of Canadians. Mr SocialismNow can rant, rave and sing the wonders of Fidel's Cuba, but people like you vote for the liberals and conservatives.

What's worse, is that although I have been criticizing Mr SocialismNow, he is really preaching to the converted. I consider myself to be on the left, but think that this political option in Canada is dominated by w**kers, posers, and zealots. Here I differ from SocialismNow's evangelizing postures and his likely agreement that Fidel Castro is justified in doing the nasty things that he does.

About trading your job for my education; you know, things are always greener on the other side of the fence.

Zafire says But is it true[socialism/communism] or a stereotype?

??? If you're a lefty then you should know the diff, yes?.

And as far as Cargo representing the opinion of 90% of Canadians, well let the right wing Liberals demonstrate a similar confidence by implementing proportional representation in Canada, the most advanced form of democracy.

What's next, a bunch of hosers renting their services to the CIA and attempting another Bay of Pigs ?.  I've been to Cuba a couple of times, and what's laffable is the number of American's doing business in Cuba in spite of the cold war rhetoric by the ultra right wing in the States ... and apparently here in Canada, too. I saw children laughing and playing in Havana and running up and down Varadero, the longest corral sand beach in the world that once was the sole pride and joy of the Dupont family who would often send attack dogs on the peasants for trespassing. It's open to the public and for the entire world to enjoy now. And there are many poor and disenfranchised African-American and Hispanic-American's taking advantage of ...

Castro's offer of six years of free medical education in Cuba to those disadvantaged American youth. Cuba has more physicians per capita than any other western nation. They must honour an agreement with Cuba to practice so much time in under serviced and no service areas of the United States.  

What a dictator!. Add Cuba to the 13 first world nations that have no university tuition fees!. Cuba also has a lower infant mortality than the United States as well. Vacation in any of Uncle Sam's tourist hotspot neighbors like El Salvador or Honduras and you'll see children begging for food and money. That is, when the soldiers and paramilitaries aren't around. Notice how certain right wing amateur politicians refuse to be concerned about the abject poverty and U.S. sponsored oppression in those rat holes under the influence of American foreign policy.

Open up the left wing debate ?. I'm here to discuss education, the skyrocketing tuition fees and how to abate the problem at the source.

What's your real agenda here, "Zafire", or whatever online moniker the next poster chooses to assume ?. I think you're the only "w**ker" here, Zafire.  

I would say that with CIA agents in Caracas and Havana posing as Mormon's and Iehovah's witnesses, and with past atempts on Castro's life by the CIA, the "island" doesn't need any more civil unrest imported by American agencies in Latin America. Exxon and other American oil companies were given the heave-ho from socialists countries around the world, including Venezuela and Iraq in 1973. The corporate fascists have made colonies of most of Latin America Amnesty International estimates of over two million child laborurers in Central America doing various low wage philanthropy for the direct benefit of American companies.

The American's currently have the largest incarcerated gulag population in the world with over six million American citizens in prison, on probation, *death row and on parole.

And with the conservatives of Brian Mulroney's era introducing Washington style lobbying in Ottawa, there has been an increase in privately owned and operated super prison economy inside Canada. The fascists agenda is always to subtract from social democracy and inplement gulag state as more and more unemployed and poor shall be warehoused in super prisons and private gulags. The NDP in Canada have shown that it is cheaper to provide four years of university tution for someone than to warehouse, feed and clothe them for just one year in any of our federal or private pens. Privately operated "gulags" were a theme stock in 1990's America as their cold war economy goes for a big nose dive.

Don't bother harping  on about Cuba. While Canada is in short supply of teachers and physicians, Castro's Cuba has more doctors per capita than any other western nation as well as having the lowest infant mortality rates and providing freely accessable, university education to all its citizens, including poor American ethnics who cannot access medical education in the United States

Cuba supplies Africa, Latin America with free medical education, doctors

"Zimbabwe has had hundreds of its physicians trained in Cuba, recently

In the meantime, be it out of altruism or for propaganda reasons, Cuban President Fidel Castro has invited about a dozen black American students from underprivileged areas of South Carolina to study medicine in Cuba.

The invitation came after a recent meeting with visiting members of the United States Congressional Black Caucus"http://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y00/jun00/12e10.htm
