Many Dominicans Returning From Europe and US With Government Help
NAS ... you have a valid gripe .......
Not saying it's right or wrong but ... a lot has been written about how much (and why) Expats complain .... in fact, all over the world. (I think it probably starts with complaints about their own country...) :cheeky:
Since there are so many articles, I'm just going to provide a list to choose from:
Complaining Expats
It's epidemic (and contagious?).

OK Gorgon, I believe it now. All I was asking for was the report and you produced it.
I don't know you or Cobra or anybody on this board personally and having read some majorly idiotic comments from dr1.comers over the years I have grown quite skeptical about basically everything posted here.

Ginza, with the passage of time you wil come to know me as a poster who rarely makes a statement that i cannot substantiate. a few of the bits of information might be old, and i just cannot seem to find them, but, generally speaking, i like to be safe in that regard. too many guys waiting to pounce.
Constant complaining stems from not being truly happy with your situation. When you are not happy with your life the way it is every single thing around you is a trigger. You can be a ticking time bomb and when something doesn't go your way you are exactly the "nut job" that goes into a ranting fit yelling at everyone around you or you bottle it in and go to forums to rant about it. We should absolutely point out particular businesses, etc. that rip people off and do bad things but when we say all Dominicans are this or that it is insulting and plain wrong. All Dominicans are not anything, all Americans are not anything, All Europeans are not anything, etc. I think we all know that to be true. The focus needs to be on particular people and places that are good or bad and not bashing an entire society.
constant praise stems from being altogether too happy-go-lucky with your situation. when you are overly happy with your life the way it is every single thing around you is a trigger. you can be a ticking time bomb and when something doesn't go your way you are exactly the "nut job" that suddenly starts drooling and signing soft kitty in public you or you bottle it in and go to forums to sign hallelujah about it.
there, fixed it for ya!

Welfare Use by Immigrant Households with Children | Center for Immigration Studies
"Households with children with the highest welfare use rates are those headed by immigrants from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (75 percent), and Ecuador (70 percent). Those with the lowest use rates are from the United Kingdom (7 percent), India (19 percent), Canada (23 percent), and Korea (25 percent)."
I don't know what's more shocking here...the fact that so many Dominicans (82%) are on Welfare, or that 25% of all Koreans are on welfare also. But only 7% of U.K immigrants.

You are right. You can't be insanely happy all the time and think things are perfect. I know I sound that way now but that is just because I'm focusing on all the negativity. Just as much as I have spoken against the negativity I would also say that if someone thought this (or anywhere) was truly a perfect place to be with no issues whatsoever they were also insane. We have our issues. We just have to deal with them. Bashing everyone all the time is not the way to do it. That just leads to more issues.
there ya go, La Barbie. seems like a dirty little secret is that there is a greater fraction of Canadians on welfare in the USA than there are among the people from the East...care to expound? maybe Limbaugh or Hannity could assist you?

Wether in Montreal,Toronto or Vancouver,
Visit an elementary or high school and look at the demographics and you'll see the future.
It is hard to believe that a higher percentage of Europeans would not like to emigrate to Canada.
Balanced immigration by the "conservative" government?
Maybe the Europeans, Can. and US citizens are all combing to the DR?
The crisis in Europe is real and far from over,Spain GDP 2012 -1.4% unemployment 26%, France predicted to shrink by 0.3%.
The exception being Germany with a predicted growth by the OECD of 2.4%.
