1. Uh oh.
Expect the usual suspects to chime in on how this is the fault of U.S. imperialism and that Maduro and his Merry Band of Thugs has no choice but to confront the evil empire that is the U.S. and how this is the result of the U.S. meddling in Chile in the 70's. :rotf:

Your cute little avatar makes me think you're one of my thick skulled students who chuckled their way through my lecture on the Guatemalan Civil War.
Funny, that.

28. My Angels avatar makes you think like that?
I guess I struck a nerve, didn't I?
Looks more and more like Maduro and his Merry Band of Thugs are becoming tin pot dictators.
Don't bother replying, I'm not taking it back nor are you going to change my mind about the corruption and criminal acts of the Ven. govt.

And aw, I has a sad that you don't want to discuss. On a discussion board.
You'll last long if you continually get your panties in a wad.
Dear la izquierda, First off I probably laugh my ass off through the way you probably lecture about the Guatemalan Civil War.

She doesn't know the difference between a smiley and an avatar? Not ready for internet.
Hmmm, a lecture on the Guatemalan Civil War. Or, I could stab myself in the eye. What to do, what to do?

Without American companies taking over and developing their natural resources, Central and South American countries would still be boiling missionaries and shrinking heads.

Chile is the most stable and economic free Latin American nation.
