i see that in this thread several people have described chavez as a dictator. i also noticed that those who described him as such were all americans. i wonder why that is, the media perhaps? the fact is chavez won four elections, which every serious observer accepted as free and fair. he also accepted defeat when people voted against him, in a referendum on constitutional change. for all his faults he respected the democratic process and was genuinely popular.
chavez was a complex character, he was a thief and a demagogue, but at the same time he was a strong leader who really believed in improving the lot of the poor. given the succession of terrible governments which proceeded him, a man like chavez was probably the best venezuela could have hoped for."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Nutjob righties in America have some sort of chavez fetish. It's probably just because their media outlets are cozy to oil companies. Chavez' only real affect on America has been his influence in the oil market. So therefore, he's satan. Satan is a hero if he is friendly to oil companies.To us, it is the BEAST.

Apparently they didn't properly seal the Tupperware they were keeping him in.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

p.s. Don't take it personal, please, you are just a product of your dying "Modern" system, where the smart people can go ahead, but at the same time still be blid (ok, DUMB). That means you are an idiot. Yes, That's a personal insult. You do have knowledge, but don't see the persepective and you don't even ****ing care. So, f*ck - offLast edited by Serb; March 16, 2013, 04:06.
