I'm not making that claim, so I don't care. - gsw_hoops 2012-04-13 10:47:08 (64 views)

We know you don't care. It is part of your lack of charm. - gribble the mispost master 2012-04-13 10:49:08 (64 views)

I didn't ask the stupid question; I just pointed out that it was one. - gsw_hoops 2012-04-13 10:51:52 (61 views)

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what the Miami Cuban community thinks about Castro. - Earl j. Slick 2012-04-14 10:15:45 (60 views)

They not only drive Cuba policy but Florida politics - Dick Nikon 2012-04-14 11:55:22 (60 views)

Yeah, that too. - Earl j. Slick 2012-04-14 13:27:52 (63 views)

I think you are missing the point completely. - DC Warrior 2012-04-13 11:14:14 (84 views)

Similar thing with the Vietnamese-American community and the country they fled - dc 2012-04-13 11:36:06 (71 views)

Part of my opinion is just colored by the fact that everyone always goes to Hitler - shikantaza 2012-04-13 11:33:12 (82 views)

better analogy would be Mao-Taiwan or Khomeini-Persians - heathcliff 2012-04-16 13:48:33 (63 views)
