Awe.... you do have a sense of humor afterall!Nals
It simply never, ever, ever occurred to me that YOU who are SUCH a defender of the DR
who always is saying how perfect and wonderful everything is here
what advances the country has made
how great things are here
how glorious life is here
would actually be living in the USA
I was taken aback
STUNNED really
All this time I thought you were in the government, talking with cabinet ministers, using your advanced degree to help guide us along a to a better future
and now I learn that you are up there
in my home country
just cheering us along
and seeing the bright side
and saying good things about us
i am just disappointed, I guess
a little disillusioned
there is probably no Santa Claus either
but I am holding onto the Easter Bunny:bunny:
Do you know what's the best aspect of life?
Not everyone have the same time line. While some people have most of their life behind them - and with that possibility comes along whatever mark they could have had anywhere on earth is also behind them, regardless how big or negligible it was -, others have it ahead of them.
While some people's value in education, self worth, etc. are behind them, others are right in the midst of it.
While some people are getting ready for their last leg of their journey, others are just starting.
And with that, I revert to my previous comment:
...according to your fallacious reasoning, we must all conclude that SantiagoDR [or any US expat] knows nothing of what its like to live in the US since he lives in the DR. In fact, everything he says about the US is false due to his circumstances.
Nevermind anything else about him (his origin, where he has spent most of his life, where 90% of his family lives, how often in a year he may travel to his country and keep in touch with family members, acquaintances in the old country, where he invest his money, where he still owns properties, for how long each trip lasts, who he may know in such country, etc. etc. etc.).
That and the luxury of time makes the biggest difference in everything.
