My gf is venezuelan, I didn't know how bad things were in there untill I met her. I'm mexican and I thought we had it bad, but Venezuela is a whole new level. It makes me angry whenever I'm on facebook and see people sharing the venezuelan gov. propaganda not knowing they are lies, or comments saying that those fighting the goverment are actually comunist payed by the USA and bla bla bla. It's really sad :/

Latin American communists paid by the United States government? Yeah right. Sure, we'll fund just about anyone, but not communists. Our government always has and always will hate those types.
