Is porn Legal in Cuba?

i hope you're joking

What about?

I have had several friends that have been to Cuba.

It is a fact that they do have the worlds best health system, they do have more people who are doctors. Its because its free to do so. You can do a degree for free in Cuba.

yeah, its the land of rainbows and lollipops
just asked the boatloads coming from cuba into florida each day

Most of what you read is bull.

In Soviet Cuba, PhD earn you

so you're a "good communist"?

Will you have time to do porn if you are studying to be a doctor?
Good luck!

EDUCATION IN TODAY'S CUBA

With the triumph of the revolution there came radical social changes. Profound and meaningful social changes came about as certain social aspects of Cuban society which were greatly neglected in the past were now prioritized.

One of the priorities, among many was education. As the revolution inherited a society in which over 60 percent were semi illiterate, that is could hardly read and write, what some people define as functional illiterates, and as the disparity between rural and urban Cuba was significant with urban illiteracy being only 11.6, while rural illiteracy being an incredible 41.7, with less than .5 percent graduating from high school or vocational school, the new revolutionary government took immediate measures to remedy this sad situation.

To combat illiteracy it implemented the following steps:

It formed educational brigades composed mostly of high school and university students. These were students, known as brigadistas, who volunteered to help campesinos ( peasants ) in rural and in sometimes the remotest places in Cuba to learn how to read and write. Brigadistas like Conrado Benitez and Manuel Ascunde Domenech were among those that literally gave up their lives to aid the campesinos learn basic skills, as some of them were brutally murdered by armed right wing CIA sponsored groups.

The new govt. formed groups within the workplace, i.e., factories and shops to help the workers learn to read and write. It afforded the workers a little time off at the workplace in this endeavor. In addition, night schools were initiated and workers encouraged to attend.

The new govt. set goals in educational levels, with the first goal being 6th grade followed by in later years to 9th grade and ultimately 12th grade - what it is today.

In the first year '59 - '60 the illiteracy rate was reduced from 23.6 to 3.8 percent. In the second year '61 it was reduced to 1.9. At that time during a speech given by Fidel Castro revering this great feat, a flag was raised with the following words: "Cuba, free of illiteracy".

Thanks to these policies many Cubans were afforded an opportunity to study as is the case with my mother in-law for example who only had a third grade level before the revolution and was able to increase it to the 6th grade level -she opted not to continue with her studies because of childrearing . Another example is my father in-law who was able to finish high school and become an electronic technician, all free of charge.

Besides the building of new schools, other actions taken by the new govt. included the transforming of old police stations and army barracks into schools. All in all, about 25,000 new schools were created. In rural areas where schools did not exist, new schools were built; even the remotest parts of Cuba now had schools. For the first time in Cuban history the campesinos and their children had what they never had before: schools and an opportunity to receive a free education.

All the schools on the island were made free and accessible to all.

Schools for the handicapped and students with learning disabilities were established.

Unlike before where there were 3 or 4 universities, most of them in Havana, new universities and technical schools were opened free of charge.

Unlike the past where day care centers were for the well to do, new day care centers were opened and made affordable with the family paying very modest fees ( based on one's salary ).

As indicated by UN reports Cuba has a highly developed system of day care centers. One indication of how well it functions is amply demonstrated by the Cuban children. I have found young children of Cuba very alert and highly verbal. For example, my niece at the tender age of 7 was highly verbal and could already recite some poetry. She is not the exception as I have encountered many children with these attributes. It is a real experience hearing the young children of Cuba speak. As I mentioned before the main reason children display these wonderful qualities is due in great part to the magnificent system of day care center the socialist govt. has in place and the learning and social experiences the children acquire in these centers.

By the way not only is education free but the state also supplies free of charge school materials i.e. pencils and notebooks. Usually there is no trouble in the distribution of school materials. Sometimes there may be a shortage in notebooks, but usually, I don't know how, a notebook appears. School uniforms are another story. Although they are modestly priced it is hard to come by one. Before the special period - before Cuba lost it's trade with the Socialist bloc - the Cuban govt. had no problems distributing them to the people.

Despite the embargo, the statistics show how well the educational system is functioning. There are currently 400 thousand students enrolled in schools. 99 percent of the students currently attend school, with a 99.9 percent retention rate. The student/teacher ratio is 13.6 to 1, that is one teacher for every 13.6 students. As there were only a handful of universities before the revolution all catering to the well to do, now there are approximately 45 universities and institutes with an enrollment of close to 250 thousands, and with a total of 24800 professors.

The literacy rate is currently 98% with an average 12 grade level.

Where as black Cubans were for the most part excluded from the educational process in yesterday's Cuba, they now have the opportunity to attend institutions of higher learning. You can see how blacks have benefited with the island's Socialist educational system, as Cuba has it's fair share of black professionals, among them doctors and engineers.

Although the quality of Cuban schools is top notch, some of them can use a face lift, that is they are in need of some repair and paint. And although, economic conditions has made this a very difficult task, there are signs of improvement, as for example, this year the govt. has made repairs on over 1000 schools, 386 labs and has equipped secondary schools, high schools and colleges with new TVs and computers.

As a teacher who has traveled extensively to Cuba, taking in 95 a sabbatical, visiting schools in Dominican Republic and on the island, I can vouch for the island's marvelous educational system. It is top rate. As I wrote in my report to my school district, "...I had heard that Cuba's school system was good; it is not, it is fantastic...". By the way it was ironic that none of the Dominican high schools I visited had computers while Cuba with an embargo and all there were two schools with computers.

Lastly UN and UNICEF studies confirms that Cuba's educational system is one of the best in the world; and definitely in the third world where no one comes close.

Cuba is probably the most beautiful, friendly, safe, just fucking awesome country in the world.

My Mini Cooper S is called the Urban Guerilla after the god Che.

On the UN Human Development Index, the UK ranks #12 and Cuba ranks #52

This thread shows how dumb many ppl are...

That Cuba is on America's blacklist makes it worst country ever, indeed......

But when you have quality in quantity it makes the best in the world.

its not an communist country, its an dictatorship. I love Cuba and been there lots of times. But its not all roses although they have some good social systems.

good cigars, harsh secret police

Cuba is a wonderful place IF you are NOT Cuban.

I have a couple of friends that have been there too, and they say that its great!!

what da fuck do you know? you've never been there!

all fucker like you think "communisam is the devil" cuz your church boy bush and others tell you it is, you're brainwashed...

i've been to cuba many times, yes there a poor people and yes they do wanna go elsewhere cuz they got no jobs, their economy is not the best. But its the most friendliest place i've ever been too and would love living down there but I was not allowed to buy a house there.

Nothing that is fun is legal in Cuba.

I have visited 1st, 2nd, and 3rd World countires ..... Cuba is a 4th World country.

It is truly sad , to see how such nice people living under such circumstances.

Man O man GFY gets more wackos every day.

You don't have to do a PhD in Cuba, just give Castro some US $$$ and he'll GIVE you the PhD.

Its funny howmany Americans know somuch about Cuba from what they hear on CNN, yet none of them ever been there once and all americans are banned from entering the country. I wounder why they were banned?

and its different in USA? You can't buy a PhD in USA? give me a break...

what are you saying here?

I didn't say you couldn't buy one in the USA.

so what was your point?

You don't have to do a PhD in Cuba, just give Castro some US $$$ and he'll GIVE you the PhD.

is my point

what point are you trying 2 make

How is this different from anywhere else in the world???

If you get caught doing porn in CUBA, you WILL go to jail. In fact getting internet access is not that easy, as it is ONLY for foreigners.. But the porn thing will get you fucked fast. If you are a US citizen, then you can NOT use a atm or credit card issued to you buy a US bank. If you do, IRS will freeze your funds, and when you return to the US, they will take your passport. If you are from somewhere else, you had better ask before you go.

If you want more info, hit me on ICQ next weekend.

I have been to cuba many times, and my wife was born and lived there until she was 23

you are a waste of time, my last post on this if you can't tell me

what point are you trying 2 make

Did someone say cuba??? LOL I love the place!

obviously you are in the wrong thread.
we are talking about Cuba here no???

offcourse its your last post cuz you dont' have a point!

so go surf some other posts please....

smartest thing to do is marry a Cuban girl (they are not hard to find)

This thread is just too funny...

I spend a decent amount of time in Havana. If you need to know anything hit me up, I would be glad to help.

Porn in Cuba is illegal. You can't even have a Playboy magazine. No joke. You do not want to work in porn and live in Cuba.

Shooting porn there is also illegal. I shot there a few times and almost ended up in jail. If I wouldn't of had my Cuban friend with me who is kind of famous there for playing music, I would of been locked up for sure. Even then it cost some bucks to walk. Those scenes will be sceen on my new latin site dropping as soon as the 2257 dust settles.

Cuba is mostly safe, but the past year it is getting a less safe as they fall further into poverty. Crime is on the rise in Havana. The US dollar is no longer allowed there so take Euros.

We should meet up sometime down there.

I guess it boils down to whether you like package A or package B

Package A
"Free" economy where 5% owns 80% of the wealth and 50% of the population lives below the poverty line and 30% is working class. 15% middle class and 5% elite.
Some free healthcare. Some free education. Shelves are stacked with expensive goods (for the mass of people to afford)

(This is the Philippines... where I am currently based)

Package B
Everyone is above the poverty line but barely. No middle class. Communist elite.
Free Healthcare. Universal education. Rationed economy. Crappy product availability/selection.

This is Cuba.
