Seriously, a talented actor, but man, between "As Good as it Gets" and "American Gangster", he went through quite a rough patch in roles.

When he talks about Cuba extremely boring, not so much other times. Drinking rum and coca cola and working for the Yankee dollar.

They need dregalation - tainted meat scandals - higher education for those who can afford it - doctor shortages - new hospital cost overruns - and a petroleum - a welfare fund set up for wealthy causes - GST on everything in sight, and carbon taxes! BORRRring!

The discussion about Cuba, oh yes, boring. Reality is that like most things, it's neither as good as its proponents say or as bad as its detractors say.

Thank goodness I didn't open that link at work. My boss may think I was planning something unsavioury with my desk.

Wow, a thread about Cueball and Cuba and no one has insulted anyone yet, or had an argument about Cuba that branched into an internecine socialist\communist war of words.

Babble is really tame these days.

I thought I insulted a whole bunch of people in the opening post. Judging by one or two of the reactions, I guess I was right.

Might have a point, Venezuela on the other hand is very interesting, not boring at all, and look, plenty of oil!

Colombia a front line state in the war on boredom. Need guns as diversion from otherwise mind-numbing boredom.

And they wanna use Cuba and Haiti as conduits for trafficking boredom to Miami and all parts in the USSA. Trafficking illicit boredom is a long-time CIA and Wall Street source of funding when the crooked ideology drops the bottom out of financial markets and economy goes for a big nose dive. Wherever "boredom", covert weapons sales, and oil are concerned, those guys are deeply involved like pigs in muck.

It's not so boring on the U.S. end of the island. Waterboarding sports and some other international stuff happening there.

Who let you past the gates at Gitmo? American Michael Moore tried to bring several heroic 9-11 American citizens to Gitmo for free health care but were denied entry. What's so special about Gitmo Bay? Is there a secret password to get in or something, it's that unboring and popular?

Gitmo isn't boring. It is a rule: anywhere you find Marines it is never boring. Many other things but never boredom.
