WASHINGTON -- The producer and others involved in Oliver Stone's documentary on Cuban leader Fidel Castro have agreed to pay the U.S. government more than $6,000 to resolve allegations they violated a long-standing embargo against the communist country.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Controls, which oversees the economic embargo against Cuba, said the payment of $6,322.20 would settle alleged violations that occurred between February 2002 and May 2003 in the making of a documentary film, according to documents. A government official said the film involved in the dispute was "Comandante."

[nehemiah]

why is cuba still blockaded?

anyone have a rational answer?

seems pretty stupid to me.

[uppy]

why is cuba still blockaded?

Some say its because castro killed Kennedy

But, I say its because cuba is a commie country that let the USSR put

weapons on its soil that could be used to kill 30,000,000 Americans.

[anEinherjer]

Oh for ****'s sake, just cut the stupid sanctions. Who's it hurting, Castro? **** no.

[JLB]

Oh for ****'s sake, just cut the stupid sanctions. Who's it hurting, Castro? **** no.

Your right Castro is just about dead I think when he dies they might lift them.

[nehemiah]

[uppy]

Reagan won the cold war with the USSR king.

And cuba is not blockaded we do have trade sanctions on them.

But,Canada does not .....why have thay not helped cuba

[nehemiah]

Since they are here then I would gather that they hate Castro and probably gave up everything just to come over to the US. Are you sure their Cubans.

[Julianna]

Just kidding. :)

I honestly like them, although there are many of them living in that house, I have to admitt they are all good people. I have nothing againest them at all. Like I said they can throw one hell of a party! lol

No it doesn't "pain me" to say that.......well yes it does. I would like to hate them because they are slobs and the cars sitting on the cement blocks are really an eye sore this time of season, but because they throw one hell of a party and can roast a pig in record time.......they are good people. Now I have a question for you. Will the country be going to hell in your spiderman or batman lunch basket? or maybe barbie?

[Julianna]

[35Pete]

I do know this. Cubans that live here often come here with nothing. And they love this country. And they love capitalism and freedom. They are like the Ellis Island crowd. Came with nothing and built something. It's funny those that would scorn them side with the trash that comes here and suckles off the nipple of "the system".

What's up with that?

[35Pete]

But the cinder block thing is trashy Juli. I mean really. I think of Bubba and the stars and bars when I hear that stuff.

But pig roasts rock! :party:

Pete what the heck did you just say? scorn? trash? I felt a second of hotness over the nipple thing but the you said system and I'm now disappointed.geez what just happened? lol

We'll discuss nipples offline because the youngin's here might blush. ;)

In a nutshell the Cubans remind me of the diligent freedom loving people from the days of Ellis Island. Came here with nothing. Took advantage of opprotunity and created a wonderful life for themselves. And they do integrate.

Of all the latin people that attempt to integrate the educated Mexicans, the Cubans, and Puerto Ricans do the best job.

Most don't have cars on cinder blocks though. :D

I know it's crazy! But it's the truth. One is a light blue Monte Carlo with a white top, the other might be a Camero-it's gray or rather that primer look. They, the teens are always working on it, then the adults join in. They are cool people

Anything less and we will let you play pro football. They can run real fast, especially if you're shootin' at 'em.

We should add an addenum to the immigration policy. If the diligent, hard working immigrants join their illegal brothers marching in the streets of America protesting any law that is enacted by our representatives, they should be deported to their country of origion.

I'm not talking about the tomato pickers. They need to be sent back. They are EXACTLY the type of immigrant I don't want here. Just like Marky said. Here for the benefits still waving the Mexican flag. What I don't mind are educated Mexicans. You should meet one someday. They have class and work as hard as you or I. And the Cubans have their trash too. Hell we have our trash too.

Here in North Buffalo we have dis ting where Hertle Avenue (the main drag in this part of town) gets shut down for a week every summer for the... Italian Festival.

I'd LOVE to see the reaction to Mexicans trying to shut down Deep Elm in Dallas for a week.

[Julianna]

1/2 of the eyetalian
1/2 of the P. rican

What's more disgusting? The Festival or those people riding on the cart?

[35Pete]

Gee. And Italian festival. An Irish festival. Or a parade period.

That's disingenous. I'm talking flying outside their homes everyday. You don't see that with past immigrants. Only the south of the border ones. And it is offensive. Go home.

Are you kidding? tell me your kidding. Italians and Irish people have flags flying on their porches.....

Its offensive? Rrrriiiiiiggghhhhtt.

You're losing this battle Pete....give up

Gee that's odd. We have people from all over the world here in South Florida (extremely cosmopolitan area) and I never seem to see those flags flying on a daily basis. Just because you say it is doesn't make it so.

[Victor7]

lol !!

You guys get worked over a flag, comical.

I bet if some of you had to move to say Eastern Europe for work you'd love to hang your US flag in your homes. But when others do it its wrong. Such hypocresy.

I see US and other flags in Mexico in some houses and you know what I think ?? ......... nothing ... I dont care, its your house do as you please

[TRIPLE P]

Gee that's odd. We have people from all over the world here in South Florida (extremely cosmopolitan area) and I never seem to see those flags flying on a daily basis. Just because you say it is doesn't make it so.

So when I go out on my porch and see an Irish flag flying on the house a few doors down its just a mirage.

You should start taking a page out of your own book once in a while.
Just because you say it is doesn't make it so.

[K-Gun]

I see Irish and Italian flags flying on people's homes all the time. Just as frequently as I see Puerto Rican flags (which is a US territory, btw.)

I've never seen a Mexican flag on someone's home.

If you did would it bother you ??

Thats the bottom line really. Flags mean nothing. sure they are nice to have, and are cool to look at because of the differences.... but com'on with the treating a flag like its a sacred object... its not.

I rest my case:

Come on now, I've seen enough irish gear to choke a goat!

[uppy]

A US citizen has the right to fly any flag thay wish...an illegal alien has no right to be in the country and should be deported or jailed.
