The Green Screen

Mercy Wrote:So, to summarize, it's a money issue, and NOT a cultural issue.

I rest my case.

I'd bet it's both.

but smeb never talked about the money issue, he DID raise the cultural issue, saying very pointedly that he wanted his kid raised in CUBA.

ergo Cuba doesn't equal Miami.

Cuba doesn't equal Miami and that's for sure. Most people here wear shirts at the dinner table.

I've seen pictures of where Smeb does his dirty deeds. Money is an issue.

too hot in Cuba to wear a shirt to eat.
Why?

get me ac and I'll wear a shirt. I almost never wore a shirt inside my "appt" in Cuba.

Ever. Para Que?

How frigging nasty to sit at a dinner table, and have me subjected to your tits and nappy chest hairs!

That is the height of living. Pero bueno, dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres.

hey the girls liked the chest hairs. They all do. Why a man would ever shave his chest is beyond my level of understanding.

btw.. I just noticed

is the guy sitting on lower right sporting some wood in those shorts?

No, he just has a cheap pair of shorts on. He probably stuck the shorts in the dryer and the zipper messed up.

There's nothing in that picture to get a boner from.

err.. this is Cuba

what "dryer" are you talking about?

the clothes were laid out on a clothesline I am sure.

I think he was there with his girlfriend, maybe all of a sudden he was happy to see her

btw - as an aside - that guy, with his gf made it to the US a couple of years ago. I think they won the lottery (at the US embassy)

the relationship didn't survive once they came here I hear.

Ok. They are cheap shorts that got hung on the clothes line and the sun deformed the zipper.

All you have to do is get the fuck out of Havana, as I do, and Cuba becomes a more tranquil and friendly place. Before Giuliani cleaned up NYC it would rival any city for prostitution, which included many runaway and disenfranchised underage girls. Heck, here is DC until a few years ago the parks and streets a few blocks from the white house where chock-full of whores. Both cities are cleaned up but the business goes on underground through personal ads and massage parlors located in nondescript places in suburbia, which are always getting busted.

Cuba, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, et al just learn to accept the reality that sex will continue to sell and try to contain disease through controlled locals and education. Places like Rio and Thailand (some parts) still cater to the street walker aspect.

I try to stay away from the gals and where there are prostitutes there are drugs and there is trouble and worst of all there are tourist. I have not seen anymore than the airport in Havana in many, many years. Havana sucks partly for the prostitutes and gays that linger on the streets during the day and night.

BTW- what did the Spanish "priest" do with the naked gals for over two hours in his room :-) He is probably selling the "director's cut" on some porn site. The whole thing strikes me a bit disingenuous.

LOL- Smeb always talked about money and how he could buy all you MF'ers out. I have his cell as we were going to meet up in Cuba last year but I never made it. I'll call him and tell the nizzle to drop in and speak for himself.

Bogs, you need better connections bro, the place is a shit hole and the gal...well...not my type. I do however think the guy is sporting wood...perhaps for you.

Maybe he's excited about the refrigerator?

Keeping your wife in Cuba while you living in Miami, that's not realistic. Just ask the Cubans living in Miami what they think about such idea. HAHAHAAHAHA.

OMG, if you just say that in any baber shop in Flager or any Sedano, Navarros or Bally where you are surrendered by Cubans, you wouldn't want to go there next time.

I can't believe you are taking Smeb's idea seriously. Smeb is all bark, no bite like must Cubans in Miami. He maybe be a macho type but no stupid.

The City of Miami has one of the highest poverty rates and one of the lowest median incomes among large US cities, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey released Tuesday.
The survey places Miami's poverty rate at 26.9%, well above the state average of 12.6%, Miami-Dade County's 16.4% and the national average of 13.3%.
Miami residents living below the poverty line have the added burden of dealing with some of the nation's highest median housing prices.
Local economists say they are not surprised by the findings.
"We're seeing a significant influx of immigrants moving into the city and that is increasing because the county's lower cost housing is in the vicinity of the city," said Manuel Lasaga, president of Strategic Information Analysis Inc. in Miami.
Mr. Lasaga said the city's service-oriented economy and the high percentage of residents employed in those fields also are a drag on wages.
Miami ranked in the bottom five of cities of more than 250,000 people with the highest poverty rates, joining Detroit, Buffalo, NY, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The census data shows that 94,530 of Miami's 351,000 residents are living below poverty level.
The city's median household income of $27,088 also ranked in the bottom four, joining Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo. That's well below the national average of $48,451 and the state's $45,495.
In Miami, there is a wide disparity of median household income between non-Hispanic whites ($63,723), Hispanics ($25,673) and African-Americans ($18,710).
Peter Thompson, an economist at Florida International University, said the city attracts a steady flow of newly-arrived, young and low-skilled immigrants who take low-paying jobs, then leave the city as they become upwardly mobile. That is reflected in lower poverty rates in surrounding areas such as Miami Beach (17%) and Kendall (12%).
"That's the incubator effect the City of Miami has," said Tony Villamil, CEO of the Washington Economics Group in Coral Gables. "They will go to Miami-Dade Community College, many of them, and learn a skill or a trade and then move on. There's not a lot of news in that sense — it's been happening that way here for a while now."
Mr. Villamil said that the survey tends to skew Miami's data because it does not count many of the city's affluent seasonal residents.
Mr. Thompson said a poor public education system and a high dropout rate are also contributing to poverty figures.
"That would be the first thing to look at," he said.
The survey found that 37% of Miami residents living below the poverty level have less than a high school education.
Even second-generation immigrants are handicapped if their parents don't learn English and are unable to participate in their children's schooling, Mr. Thompson added.
While there are pockets of lingering institutional poverty in the city, what would be especially revealing, Mr. Villamil said, would be a study over a 10-year period to see if the same families in poverty then are the same as today.
"You would find that a lot of those first families are doing a lot better today," he said.

Anyway there is no fucking place like Miami in the whole USA. You find anything you want there. Nothing compares to South Florida. But you need to be really fit to live in The Sunshine City. Why people from all around the world choose South Florida over Long Island, Maine, Virginia or New Jersay ?

Cuba lololololol. OMG Cubita. Give me a fucking break.

305 until I die !!!

I hate nearly all of Florida...too fucken hot...too many Cubans and now everything else including Argentines.
