Marion Barry?:cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:
There are about 10 posts on page 5, 6 of the 10 are by "NALS", including 5 in a row!!! Guess that tells us a little about his "Socalled Life"!
Now about ABZ! The only guy in the DR who couldn't get laid even with a fist full of 2000 pesos notes!
I looked up "Social Climber" in the dictionary,and there was his picture!
The funny part is,he hangs out with "Wannabees",and thinks they are bigshots! His comment about "Dominican Politicians being from the upper class of Dominican society" proves that! Leonel is just a "Dominican Jork" for God's sake! And Pena Gomez a "Half-Hatian"! The REAL Elite of Dominican Society wouldn't want to run for any political office.They already have money,they don't need to steal any from the People!

Silly Billy Aftab - I'm not trying to fool you & you certainly can't fool me!! irate: M'thinks it is your good-self that needs the reading glasses, NOT CCCCBushbaby, please, lets not fool each other here.
This thread is NOT about you or me Aftab - it is about socio-economic clap-trap! Just to correct things though - you never LIVED up here on the north coast - you existed for a while trying to scrape a living together. Finding better pickings in the Santiago area, you naturally moved down there. What you ......... Naaaaahh not worth the effort of explaining!! :tired:I have lived in northcoast but you can't say the same about santiago or capital.
As I have never mixed with the north coast low life scum &/or the Cuba Libre drinking foreigners who chase ugly hookers, I can not attest as to whether the richer upper crust Dominicans talk to them. I bow to your greater experiences in this matter. You obviously DO cohort with them to know such things.north coast is full of low life scums. The richer upper class dominicans there don't talk to foreigners who drink cuba libre and chase ugly hookers.
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to argue with you Aftab. I will continue to do so when I feel you have a 'point' to argue with - rare that such occurrences are however!! :cheeky:You know better than that to argue my point.
I see things simply, her level of knowledge is exactly in level with the knowledge of a maid. thats why she is a maid and not a journalist. Now here is a question to all of you folks who live in DR.He only met my maid once (& being the snooty person he is did not communicate with her) so how would HE know the level of her knowledge & perception? How pugnacious of him!! How terribly 'Lower Class trying to be better class'!! Grahame.

Are you all folks seriously impressed with your maid's level of intelligence? hahahaha
Give me a break grahame.

AZB,get a new "schtick" ! Your "Sosua" is filled with "low Life Hookers,being chased by ignorant drunken "Gringos" is getting just a "LITTLE" repetative!

Ahhhh, so it WASN'T Aftab shunning our maid after all?? It was HER shunning HIM!!! Probably the same problem at John's daughters wedding where the girls were left on their own at the table? Maybe that is why business was so quiet for him up here too? :ermm: :cheeky: Sorry AZB, didn't realise that small problem!! :squareeye......... But there are some factors we cannot change and one is the colour of our skins. Sometimes those very colours will act as a barrier to being really accepted by Dominican 'elites'. Those of us who are white have a much easier time than those of us who aren't. So let the warm & fuzzy side of you surface, CCCC, & go easy on AZB. He's battling something which isn't in his power to change.
As the barrister was heard to say to the panel of Judges in front of him when winning his argument .............
"My Lords, I rest my case. Inverted snobbery has been proven". :cheeky: aranoid: :bunny: ~ Grahame.
gotta go with this one above.money DOES NOT buy you class.just look around you at the people with that little bit more than others.Your economic figures do not line up with education or class for that matter. For example most drug dealers bring considerable more than a university professor or a banking excutive. An oil worker in northern Canada brings $10,000 dollars per month, not much education required. I've seen poor people with more " class " in their little finger than many millionairs have. Social Class is more than the amount of money you have.
I think of itelligence as someones potential.
Someone I know well, left Sussex University with a degree in Physics, he needed some quick money, so with his good brain for numbers got a "temporary" job dealing cards in a Brighton Casino.
He never left the business and wound up as Southern Regional Director for entertainment in Britain for the company he worked for.
My point is, the high rollers, probably important and or wealthy folk no doubt would not have given him a second thought in a pecking order if held in the Casino at that time.
He however, could quite arguably be considered as the smartest or most intelligent person in the joint!(and an expert in low temp physics in his field)
If you know nothing about mechanics how smart are you compared to the guy who fixes your bike?
I'd say its all relative........(a little Einsteinism)
So instead of putting oneself on a pillar above others and looking down on those less fortunate, be a little more forgiving for peoples faults. They may not be as bad or evil as you think.......
