I agree with a lot of your sentiment CB... but SOMETIMES T.V. zombies are just plain FUN. (BTW... I do know what you really meant though.)

Did you leave your enter key back in Kansas Toto?
But fewer than humping while driving...Talking on cell phones while driving is WAY more dangerous and kills way more people per year than humping a chica.

One more thing I have for the OP:
You will hear all sort of stuff in regards to family, unity, neighbors helping each other etc, but if you get into major trouble in regards to money, NO DOMINICAN, NO EXPAT, NO TOURIST, NO HAITIAN will come to your aid, the only people that will stop what they are doing and help you out are the GREAT people of the United States of America.
People in DR will come of very friendly, helpful,and cozy until you get into major trouble with money and by your other threads you may need help at some point in DR.
I receive text messages and phone calls from Dominicans and Haitians all the time asking for help because there is not much help going around in DR these days.
True helpful FRIENDS and FAMILY that will die for you if need be will be a major asset that you will leave behind in the USA and then you will see how important the American flag really is.

You are talking from your posterior orifice!
In 2008 I was seriously injured in an auto accident in the DR. My co-workers, all Dominican, went with me to the hospital and stayed with me while emergency treatment was administered. An expat friend, hearing about the accident, came immediately to the ER to be with me and accompanied me home. She returned the next day, after going grocery shopping for me, to help me take a shower since that was something I was unable to do for myself.
My maid came every two days to change the dressings on my injury and help me shower and wash my hair. She fixed food for me (something she normally does not do), combed my hair and did all that I needed. When I was readmitted to the hospital with gangrene, she came with me and STAYED ALL NIGHT IN THE ER with me so that I would not be alone. She went to my apartment and packed a bag for me with my toiletries, nightclothes, towels, etc. Every other day, after my daughter arrived, my maid came to the hospital to get my soiled clothing, washed it and returned it the next day.
When I experienced a hemorrhage from the wound, and had a pool of blood three feet across on my kitchen floor, my landlord (a Dominican-American) sent his employee to clean it up and sanitize the area with bleach - at no charge.
Lambada (RIP) did my grocery shopping and a third, a medical doctor, came to my apartment each day to check on my progress and administer heparin injections.
Another expat friend, Joanne (RIP) of Sam's Bar in Puerto Plata brought food from her restaurant to my apartment and to the hospital when I was readmitted. Lambada visited me in the hospital, as did my doctor friend, so many Dominicans I cannot even count them and other expats as well.
Perhaps your experience was different; perhaps you are jaded and bitter - but your words are definitely not in tune with my personal experience.

Also something that I find very baffling. In your 3rd paragraph you stated " my landlord sent his employee to clean it up and sanitize the area with bleach- at no charge"
Tell me the reason you felt compelled to type the words " AT NO CHARGE"??? because you could have ended the sentence without using " at no charge" Nobody anywhere would feel they need to charge for something like this, but you in DR you know very well. Dominicans charge for EVERYTHING
Why would he feel the need to charge you for something like this?
If you read your post again you will see there was no reason to use those three words" at no charge" but because you did it made your entire post look like Dominicans want to be compensated just by using those 3 words which totally changed the point you were trying to make.
You proved my point THANK YOU
