The logic behind investing in any business in DR is questionable too, especially in places like Sosua.

Meh. People doing stupid thing get beaten up in Las Vegas, New Orleans and other "anything goes" towns all the time.

Just a wee bit of common sense goes an awful long way...

While that statement is true, statically, bad things happen to people who have done something that brings about a bad result.
Driving too fast, drinking too much, spouting off at the mouth, flashing money, hanging out with the wrong crowd etc.

The odds of a truly random bad event like being struck on the head by a meteor, being run over while sitting at a bus stop or walking into a bank at exactly the time a robber is leaving are pretty rare occurrences. There is usually a cause and effect at work in these situations, even if it is rather obscure.

here we go again, another link to a news article in Spanish on a so called English speaking board. I know, I have to do the cut, copy, paste thing into a decent translator. I also know if I don't like the way things are run on an English speaking DR1 message forum board my membership fee will be refunded in less than 24 hours............Yawn

Use Chrome browser, right click on article, select translate to Ingl?s. (I know I hate google too, but this works good). Can be turned on and off in 'settings.'

OK, so when you gonna snap out of it and realize there are a lot of lurkers who read this board. You know, plain regular tourists who may only visit la rep dom four or five times in their lives. You think they want to learn Spanish?

Post the link and put a brief translation in your original post. You seem to have nothing else to do so what would be the problem?

Yes, I do that but for the most part I can understand the Spanish article. I am basically talking for lurkers, some who are not really computer savy.............English message board to me means English

Wow. This Italian has a problem. The authorities don't want to hear it. (not a great translation by google, but it seems clear he has crossed the wrong people)

Sandro Mulas asked not to be published his face and it feels very frightened and unprotected by the authorities, said "the National Police ignores him and when he appeared itself with a friend to the Office of Sosua and called out I received, which received He was warned that if he continued apresar?an bothering him, just said a supervisory who asked to speak said he had no time to receive it.

That is ridiculous, 95% of the people who read this board can't speak Spanish, never mind read/write it. The board is dedicated to a Spanish speaking country predominantly for English speaking people, be they mother tongue or not. If you can't speak English then you can use this site, end of.
So make your mind up, or am I mistaken in recalling you usually speak of how bad online translators are?
We all know you get off on portraying yourself with attitude, but often the need to do so results in major arrogance overload.

Yes I know 'you don't care, you're not responsible for others', blah blah blah!! But kind if defeats the purpose.

.. and the "Mods" will correct you rapidly if you post in SPANISH (Except in Spanish Forum), reminding you that THIS is an ENGLISH board.
