    “Wealth makes us poor,”

    Of course it does Dope! What a complete fucking idiot this big-nosed argie is.

    Where else is the money coming from to improve matters if not from the Cubans themselves?

    Certainly NOT from the despicable RCC, that's for sure.

    Pobre, in Spanish, means two thing (as you sould know by now, taking into account that the English equivalent is the same)

    Pobre = poor (opposite to rich)
    Pobre = poor (opposite to fortunate)

    Hombre pobre is not the same as pobre hombre.
    Regardless of the amount of money you succeed to stash, you will always be a pobre hombre, Chris.

    The only doubt is regarding to hombre....

    @ 2 Breakdowns R Us

    Quoting Jibber-Jabber at me with it's myriad of meanings from the one source is not impressing anybody.

    PS I would rather have my manhood questioned than been seen as mentally ill and unstable.

    Has all expressions in Spanish have double meanings?
    For instance Que boludo= wanker
    Que boludo= what balls LOL
