    What is the Dominican psyche?

    I know this may sound a little funny and if it was not for the fact that I read it in the paper I most likely would not have thought a second time about. Reading about the author/sociologist Teofilo Barrerio?(sorry I'm sure that I bothched the spelling of the last name no disrepect intended)...

    qualifications for owning property in the DR

    I am seriously thinking of purchasing a parcel first and later building on it however a friend of mine in the DR suggests it is better to buy an existing home. What are the necessary steps to owning property in the DR? Thanks,

    Length of continous stay for residency?

    Please I am sure that this has been covered a thousand times but please humor me, am I correct that the requirement for residency in the DR is 6 months? if so is this 6 continous months? Thanks,

    What do you say folks? Isn't it time for me and HB to make up?

    HB, I know that our last few posts to each other were heated I had no idea that the impact on you would be so great. I do get a little wrapped in my own rhetoric sometimes, I don't know how many more ways or times I can apologize for offending you so I'll try once again I am very sorry for...

    "A marriage without divorce" Hippo and JB Aristide are on the right path.

    Yes, For all of you nay sayers and doom seekers the latest announcement by Hippo and Aristide made, mind you in no less of places- Haiti proves the positive steps that can be made when the DR and Haiti realize their mutual short comings and strive to a seek a mutually satisfactory...

    Golo's wealth, G remember the exchange rate is about 18, what's your worth in the US?

    Golo-ito, My little General who crusades against the poor and non socially connected, what do you think your vast collection of pesos is really worth when calculated in terms of the American dollar or for that matter the Italian Lira, ok sorry the Lira part was a cheap shoot lets say the...

    Any thoughts on if Peggy could succeed where Pena Gomez couldn't?

    I was thinking about an earlier question that I had asked about the DR and Haitian situation when someone don't quite remember who responded but the short of it was that Pena Gomez despite his politics would nenver be elected President because there existed the question of whether he was...

    Golo-ito It is said that a fool and his money are lucky to meet,what's your excuse?

    Golo-ito, My dimutively presumptuous retinue, I have taken note that you are spewing your vile rhetoric about the lower classes with my good friend O&C. So here again is the question what answer will you provide me with to justify how a fool(for example yourself) ever manages to become...

    Thoughts on voodoo and the Catholic church.

    Does anyone wish to engage in a meaningful and unbiased discourse on the religion of voodoo, from what little I know about it I would like to increase my knowledge on the subject. Also the Catholic church too. I usually steer clear of the religious dialogues but Moom C has posted a very...

    Chris, grow up give it a rest! How many more times can you beat a dead horse?

    Chris, Since obviously you can not allow the past to be the past perhaps you can at least direct that high powered sense of wit in a different direction. For someone that is alledgedly so smart you seem to revert to a childs tactics,I offered my regrets if I hurt your feelings,apparentlly...

    What a shame and a sham!!

    You know I sat back I and I started thinking that I did get a little out of hand with my fearless defense of Haiti and I explained in a private e:mail to some of the more notable icons on this page my philosophy on supporting the under dogs since I consider my self to have been one growing...

    How dare Hipolito refer to Haiti as the DR's sister country.

    I am aghast that the duly elected President of the Republica Dominicana would have the mendacity to refer to Haiti as being the "sister country of the DR." What gives the President the right to make such a statement without first consulting DR1 and it's internationally known and locally...

    What happens to the DR when Cuba opens?

    I think that it is in the best interest of the DR to swallow it's bitterness, hatred, racism or for that matter what ever your politically correct adjective of the day is. The Cuban gang in Miami Castro refers to them as the (Miami Mafia). The Cubans in Miami have to be amongst the richest...

    Thanks for a real discussion on race!!

    I know that for some of you it was hard to come to express some of your feelings on race but it is necessary for us to first be truthful with ourselves. For the rest of you all it was very easy because you saw a forum to talk about the unfairness of racism, good job. And for the rest of you...

    The Haitians built the DR

    Good now that I have your attention I really want to have a good discussion on the Haitian situation in the DR. If we can spend countless hours on the sublime we can surely gather enough acumen to have a good talk about this problem and resolve to make it better in each of our own ways. I...
