pacificguitarist Says:

Sep 20, 2008 - well-, the war has actually been terrible for our economy in the long run. We also don't "need" the war. We had a stupid president and he made a big mistake.However, democratic institutions are still running here, we still have industry, and we still have personal freedoms...unlike Venezuela.

Sep 20, 2008 - Your country was a colonial power! You country brought millions of slaves to the new world! you country stol, pillaged and raped many countries for a long time! Just because your county lost power doesn't mean you guys are innocent.......

reuven2007 Says:

Sep 20, 2008 - I don't like to be given a ration booklet in order to obtain basic food products!

Plectognath Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - yeah you're one of 'THOSE' Venezuelans. Don't think you can fool anyone. Your countrymen are doing better than ever and you come to America to bitch and moan about it.

pacificguitarist Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - well...actually.. ive been here before Chavez was elected. But nice try. No. The reason I bitch and moan is because for hte first time ever, my family and friends back in Venezuela are waiting in long lines to buy basic food products that are in short supply, all but one of them has been mugged at least twice because crime has up since chavez has taken power, and we have a dictator in power.Please.. if you don't know what you are talking about don't insult me.

Plectognath Says:

Sep 25, 2008 - That does not justify your support of a COMPLETELY corrupt tyrannical government. Don't insult me by saying that because Americans are appeased with 'bread and circuses' that this somehow equals democracy. As bad as food rations are perhaps you have never heard of a Bolivia town called Cochabamba.

pacificguitarist Says:

Sep 25, 2008 - Completely corrupt tyrannical government? What? The united states IS the pinnacle of a democratic republic. All reports about Venezuela have stated that democracy has been seriously hampered if not completely destroyed.I do not understand what you are trying to say?

pacificguitarist Says:

Oct 2, 2008 - i AM from Venezuela. Born in Caracas and family in Valencia. I have SEEN the demise of my country and the oppression of the people since Chavez has taken power. Industry is gone, democratic institutions abolished, and there are lines to buy basic food products.

Oct 18, 2008 - BUT THEY ARE FREE something worth all that and more.if you are in the USA you are not free. your votes are manipulated in The USAyour taxes go to pay the rich bankers as you may have noticed.and if your skin tone is anything but lily white you are a 2nd class citizen.

dave777blaster Says:

pacificguitarist Says:

Oct 18, 2008 - Dave- I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. Your ideas are so unbelievably off-basis it is laughable. I now know that there is absolutely no way to change your mind because to be honest....you are being a fool, and there is no way to win an argument with a fool.Goodbye.

dave777blaster Says:

Oct 20, 2008 - It is sad you will not even talk about realitybut elude to innuendos that it is I that isdeluded

jlfittro Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - pacificguitarist-It's too easy to write you off as a fool, you a much scarier. Read some history.

pacificguitarist Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - "you a much scarier." What?I'm a history and political science major. Fyi.

tonymnyphot65 Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - dave bravo . sad but true. and they dont even know it

perroloco83 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - maybe you are from the minority of the privileged middle class, some of you say that the oposition of chaves is of ten tousands of people but the people who support him its of millions and that it what i call democraci. you just loose your privileges and get mad for that because you din't want to share them. not only venezuela support chavez but at least 90 procent of the american continent the the opposition are just the elit and the ignoants!who are you pacificguitarist?

pacificguitarist Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Lose our privileges? What are you talking about? Thats just propaganda. We aren't losing anything. The rich of Venezuela (which I am not I now live in the U.S.) WANT the poor to get jobs,health care, and make a living. It would be GOOD for BOTH classes. By the way...your figures are horribly wrong... Independent polls state that the majority of Venezuelans are now against Chavez.

RPete100 Says:

Dec 21, 2008 - Dave, you really hate America...Is it Americans or American Foreign Policy? America is what it is..It has the most (by far) application for emmigration..in other words, more people by far want to get into and live in the US than any other country in the world. I agree that the US Foreign Policy is a joke controlled by Lobbyists, Corporations and Zionist interests but the Country USA is the best in the world..We have many challenges but it's still the best to live in if you love Freedom.

dave777blaster Says:

Dec 21, 2008 - 10,000 of the smartest and well to do Americans leave America each year !What will be left ?I hate no one I deal in reality and tell it the way it is

Zenki293 Says:

Dec 26, 2008 - In case you haven't noticed, for the last eight years those unelected gangsters occupying the white house have been progressively destroying your nations freedoms though fear and by imposing draconian laws (the Patriot Act).And most Americans just seem wilfully blind to it all.

Aanthanur Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - Independent polls state that the majority of Venezuelans are now against Chavez.can you link a source to those polls?Regional elections showed diffrent.

Aanthanur Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - pacificguitarist claimsI'm a history and political science major. Fyi.that is 39 and playing Xbox games? only videos he uploaded are hitler parody.....science major? yeah sure
