Though it seems controversial, I think I'd have to agree with Pat. I'm not anti-America, but I respect Castro as an individual, but not a political figure. I've read about him. Now trust me, politically I do not like Castro because of his hate for this country (clashes with my love for this country). However, the way he can lead a successful revolution, and win the approval of his people (unlike what our president can do in this country, not comparing, just stating an observation) is somewhat respectable.
However, I will not be moving to Cuba any time soon.

For fuck's sake, Castro is a fucking dictator who jails people with the wrong opinions and who has murdered thousands. Why debate if he was worse or better than Batista? Is there any interest in who is least ruthless or least brutal? No point at all.

Gustav - holy shit! Good to see you mang, at least back here. BTW - are you ready for NHL 2K6 to come out or what?  Also, Castro's history isn't relevant to some people on this board, despite the fact that we have at least two members who know firsthand of his actions, and have posted about such. He's still a "good" guy. So don't try and reason, 'Stav.

BTW - are you ready for NHL 2K6 to come out or what? I'm afraid I don't like that series anymore. In recent years, EA Sports' games has been very unrealistic and when it comes to sports I want realism. NHL 2004 made me tired of it. Sadly, there is no real alternative if you want to play NHL games on the PC.

BTW, Pro Evolution Soccer, or Winning Eleven as I believe it's called in USA, is another great sports simulation that widely beats EA's counterpart.

Yes, it's for XB, PS2 and PC. http://ps2.ign.com/objects/752/752960.html The most recent version should be called Winning Eleven 8 in the US.

Castro's a nice guy?
Let's see here. I live in Miami. I pass by the immigration building who's lines are 3 blocks long (NOT joking.) Most of which are Cuban refugees trying to get papers desperatley to NOT be sent back to the Nice Guy. Hmm, even Tony Montana, who is the protaginist in a film which many like here, WAS A CUBAN REFUGEE. If Fidelito was such a nice guy, why didn't he stay? "I kill a communist for fun." I wonder where that hate came from... :rolleyes: The images you see in the beginning are real, folks. Those are 125,000+ escaping from the "Great Individual".
Hey, how's it going?

I never said I was pro-Castro. I'm certainly not anti-Castro, but pro? DC, learn to understand things before you post them. "You can learn better if you just listen!" :rolleyes:

Correct my friend. Never did use pro. And there's a bunch of political figures I'm not 'pro' or 'anti' of. Some examples would be Tony Blair, Hugo Chavez, and Howard Dean. I'm going to assume you voted for Kerry. Does this mean you're pro-Kerry? I know I'm certainly not.
