Guess what Manigault! this is not the only island in the caribbean, you are very welcome to move to another island. If you hate the corruption so much, why don't you move to Puerto Rico or Bermuda.

Fortunately, he does not live here, but he says he likes to visit here, to exploit the Dominicans.Guess what Manigault! this is not the only island in the caribbean, you are very welcome to move to another island. If you hate the corruption so much, why don't you move to Puerto Rico or Bermuda.
but i was extremely fed up at people coming here to tell us Dominican how bad we run our country.
Actually, I would say it is more of an example that your country doesn't run/work at all and is a bordeline failed state. Come on, Puerto Ricans laugh at the DR...
Puerto Rican shouldn't laught at us Dominican, because before they became a U.S. colony, they used to come here in YOLAS to cut the sugancane, the same job that Haitian do now, and we Dominican welcome them, and intergrated them to our society, we even have 2 president of Puerto Rican decent, Juaquin Balaguer and Juan Bosch.
Puerto Rican seems to forget their history quite fast.
When I get stopped by the police in the DR. I answer their questions and they let me go. I don't have to throw not even 1 peso. I know there is a lot of corruption in the DR. and it's obvious that you are encouraging it.
Undereducation!! Well well, educated people don't throw nothing in the face of other people.
Why do they stop you then?
If not for this?
In one country cop stops you to impress with his superpower and to make you feel miserable and helpless against the huge government/police establishment.
In another - just to get a little propina. Nice and easy. And instead of this mere hundred pesos you teach him a lesson? Because you are educated?
OK.
Do you really want him to come back?
Wouldn't we all prefer that he crawl back into the whole from whence he came?
Of course you are right but the problem is that we all know that he'll be back under another name
Are you referring to DR Customs? If you look on the back of the new, recently issued DR Customs forms, the allowance for bringing various things duty free into the DR in your luggage is pretty darn generous, more so than most other Caribbean countries. I have been traveling to the DR for many years and have never had an official ask for money. If you look around the baggage claim and customs area, at least at SDQ, you will see plenty of "observers" watching every move. I think it would be difficult for an official to pocket a "propina" without being seen.Well when I arrive the guy always tells me "if you pay me 500 pesos" I won't even look in your bag"
I'm going to close this. It is hard to believe that some who responded in this thread claim intelligence. :laugh:
