American express travelers checks cuba Videos

+Matthew Trinidad nothing you said answered the question. And that's a terrible comparison you've made

+Michael Jackson Either way, it all comes to the point that you received the information from this video, why would you care how his intro was presented? Maybe I didn't like how they recorded shots of shirtless Cubans to represent that that is how the majority of regular Cubans look. Werr the recorded shots of the shirtless Cubans the subject matter of the video? No. Does it matter? No. Did I get all the information that I didn't know about in this video? Yes. See thats the problem with the older generations today, they always have something to say when there is change. I understand that change wasn't as circulated when growing up as fast and advanced as our generation but it doesn't mean that whenever you see something different for you to ridicule them for it. "What's going on?" is the major social norm in our time, "What's up?" is what we say in a casual atmosphere rather than a formal so when he said "What's going on?" it's acceptable.I had saw someone (20s-30s) talk to someone else (50s-60s) and the younger person had said the social rhetorical phrase "Guess what?" and the older person got agitated that the person felt that they had to actually guess. No one asked the older person in the literal sense to actually guess what the younger person had to say. The older person had been reminded that they had been told time and time again, that when someone says "guess what?" it's to be taken as a rhetorical statement.

+Michael Jackson well, pardon my french here, its like asking, how is saying "you are not knowledgeable on this subject matter" any different from "you are a dumb motherfucker"?

+Matthew Trinidadhow is "ayyy what up fam?" any less current or more unprofessional than "what's going on?"

+Simon Sez did you get information regarding Cuba? Yes? Okay, so then the purpose of the video was successful. Maybe I didn't want him to say "Whats going on?", maybe I would have liked him to open up with "GOOD mmmmmmmMORNING, AFTERNOON AND EVENING!" or "Well, hello there". Sounds ridiculous, no? The whole video's premise isn't built on the greeting in the introduction, it's built on the content of the subject. Many of older generations want to be picky in what best suits to them, specifically, rather than enjoy what is broadcasted to you in their style instead of what everyone else does which remains very dry and cliché. I liked how he opened, not because he said "What's going on?" but because he placed a style that pushed for something different. I like change, I dread tradition that borderlines cliché. It's a new time and a new generation that's moving in and you have to to recognize that what he said wasn't "unprofessional" but rather current. Now, if he said "Ayyy what up fam? Lets get to it homie" then that is where I'd agree with you in stating that it was unprofessional.

+Matthew Trinidad So its a greeting from your generation but your generation doesnt use greetings or salutations but then you do but they are always changing? Maybe your generation should learn to proofread too. He could just model what anchors on CNN or MSNBC or FNC or CNBC say when they open their shows and not sound like a knob. First impressions matter.

you guys fighting over him saying "whats going on" is ridiculous nonsense. Who cares? its a greeting from our time/generation. we dont say greetings or salutations anymore making greetings a constant cultrual change over time

+Simon Sezagreed

Is he chatting me up in a bar or hosting a financial news show? It's about sounding professional. Or is he trying to get a job on TMZ?

It's not that serious...

Yea like WTF?

+Charles Hagen i think last we were there were 50 cents a foot per night for short term

+Tom Peranteau Thanks!

+noylddot Very cheap about , less than 50 cents a foot per day

@Cabronosidad Wilkerson has expressed that he agrees with Ron Paul on certain issues, most specifically foreign policy, but let's be realistic here; voting for Ron Paul is not realistic. You can write him in all you want, and it pains me to say this, but it's going to be a waste of a vote. There's no way he'd ever be voted in to be President. He's too much of a libertarian (and not a warmonger) to run the country.

@Shonenut213 did you pull that out of your ass?a few facts.cuba's system of universal health care has almost three times as many doctors as the u.s.cubans live longer than americans.infant mortality rate in cuba is lower than in the u.s.it is a system that is based on preventive care.the biggest problems in health care are a shortage of drugs due to american restrictions.

Alyona, why are you ignoring Ron Paul? when the guest mentioned Ron Paul you totally keep going, and where is Ron Paul comment on Cuba? i think RT does not like Ron Paul because he also poses a threat to Russian US Agenda... why is it that RT also ignores Ron Paul? you dont bash him, yes... but you are not being objective nor fair with Ron Paul.

This is not about nuclear weapons , as Shitorum said , we can't have a country with OUR oil have nuclear weapons. That's the stance of the US government. I am happy to see India is going to pay Iran with gold for oil. Elimination of the US dollar as the global currency is the best step this planet can take.

The GOP will come around eventually as it's the party of big business that wants to do business there. And besides, Raul Castro has been implementing free market policies like letting his people have the latest electronics and have private agricultural ownership.

@Wolfau5 That has been their favorite passtime ever since they couldn't flogg "upity slaves" from Africa anymore. And when they slaughtered almost all the Native Americasn tribes, they have looked for someone else to shoot and bomb. Whom are next?

I agree with him on voting for Obama. Obama's policies suck, and they could very well lead us to a war with Iran, but the alternative is far, far worst. We, the masses, just need to push him in a more anti-war direction.

This is just sickening, how dumb are those idiots! Oh wait, I know why – all those GOP dumb fucks, with the exception of Dr. Paul, are nothing but marionettes in Israeli hands - do and say what their masters tell them.

Goddamnit Wilkerson, you know the whole damn lot of them are corrupt to the core, except Ron Paul, but in the end you're willing to go to bat for establishment Obama. "What's the choice?". Ron Paul is the choice.

I can't help but LOL when Santorum talks about the evils of theocracies. This is the same guy who was talking about how damaging CONTRACEPTION was to society. Fucking wingnuts.

Santorum, a 'mountain of aide'. Where in hell will America get the funds providing this mountain of aide?? GOP candidates with exception of Ron Paul are all idiots and turds.

Lawrence Wilkerson-- thank you for your service to our country-- not just for the past, but especially for speaking out now in well-reasoned comments on current vital issues.

Since the days of Ayatollah Khatami, Iran has wanted very much to open dialogue with the USA but Bush and Condo Rice have not wanted to do so.
