    Preferences

    I'm curious to know how the board members feel about this. If you are a dominican or foreigner of a certain socio-economic grouping and of a certain racial composition who prefers to live, marry and have friends of the same grouping and composition would that qualify you as a racist? Y/N and...

    Another Trujillo

    Given the rising crime rate in the DR and the ineffectual operations of the PN, how many here (ex-pats and natives) would favor another Trujillo type to come in and make a clean sweep of these criminals? Sort of cleaning out a house that hasn't been lived in for over a couple of years in the DR...

    If our worst fears came to fruition and the DR were to turn into a "Black Hawk Down" Somalia type country, where would you, the ex-pats relocate to?

    Juancito Sports

    Maybe some of our DR Illuminati could inform a simple Onion and Carrot, what is the scope of baseball wagering in the DR? How much is the pot? How big is Juancito Sprts, what is their depth? Is it possible to place 10,000 dollar bets or is there a limit? 1,000 dollar bets. I spoke to a...

    Curious to hear from all expats

    I know you are all deeply in love with the DR. I've read numerous times how you have found paradise and would never leave. Just curious and would like to know what it would take for you to PERMANENTLY leave the island. I've seen that you have tremendous resilience in dealing with the plentiful...

    I hope Mejia wins for 2 reasons

    1) It will benefit greatly my family as it already has. 2) The DR population is too dumb, uneducated and ignorant to comprehend Dr. Fdnz technocratic economic verbiage. He lacks charisma, is as dry as bland potatos. He doesn't connect with the poor. Even though people like Fdnz. would be better...

    Thank you!

    It's nice to hear of so many success stories amidst all the disasters. At least there are a couple pearls out there. Maryanne and Trina's stories were particularly touching. I usually don't read such long posts but they were well worth it. It's sad to say though the vast majority of marriages in...

    Boring posts

    Is this what DR1 has been relegated to? Birthdays, toiletries, nonsense about mundane rhetoric and mental refuse. I guess this what happens when I leave. The whole structure without me falls apart. Before you tear me apart, I'm just kidding! On a serious note it appears that my beloved...

    What's goin on?

    I've noticed that I have been posting and nobody is answering. Are you guys sick and tired of me? I've asked questions. I've said things that I thought funny. Do you guys want me to disappear? I'm feeling real sad and lonely right now. If you guys want me to leave I will. I'm like a little baby...

    Some curiousities about the DR economy

    I understand how the Fed acts to help stimulate or depress the US economy. Also how they indirectly affect these including mtg rates by buying/selling their paper on the open market. 1)Does the DR central bank do the same thing? 2) What is the prime rate in the DR? 3)The lending environment...
