15. Dude, I'm from Venezuela! I go there every so often and have friends and family still there

And not just that, I also read a variety of spanish-language news sites, many which are based in Venezuela, including one Chavista blog called Aporrea.org which has recently had many of its writers start to talk very harshly about all the economic difficulties happening there right now. This isn't just Yahoo, it's many news sources that talk about all this. Do you read The Economist? They recently called Venezuela the worst-run economy in the world. It isn't some bullshit "anti-Venezuela" campaign that all media has, for some reason that you somehow came up with, decided to all just participate in. Theyre just facts which you can easily check for yourself if you'd actually go to the fucking country instead of remaining behind your laptop inside your first-world home reading REAL paid-by-the-Chavista-government bullshit propaganda sites like VenezuelaAnalysis or Telesur or what-have-you. So, you know, before you open your ignorant mouth, just check with other reliable sources first before claiming something idiotic that makes you look like an ignorant fool.
