And to those of you who say;"They do the "Same Thing" in the USA!","I" don't!! And we are talking about the "DR" here! NOT THE USA,or any other Country! Do you know how "Stupid" that respose is to ANY problem??? "They Do It Other Places Too!" How DUMB Is THAT??
Here, he's simply telling people to stop showing the fault of the US on a DR related site.
Makes sense, though this is a good way of saying yes its true about the comparison but not on "topic" due to the purpose of such forum as this one.

To those who say "It's the "poor,uneducated" who "Trash" their own Country!"
I say,"Friday I was going home for lunch.I live in "Arroyo Hondo".While driving past an "upscale" Catholic High School(Read as:"Rich White Kids!) there was a street cleaning crew sweeping(by hand!) the street in front of the school.Out came the kids,who began to throw papers,cups,and "junk food" wrapers right where the people were sweeping up!I mean at the feet of the "sweepers"!
Here he is trying to make an example from a bunch of children.
Could have been a good example, except that kids the world over throw garbage in places where they are not supposed to. Some actually throw the garbage in the garbage cans, but it's only some.
But, let's not be naive of the real message. He is stating that rich people pollute as well. Wow, what a big surprise!
I thought another DR1er stated that the rich were like "ghosts", almost invinsible. If this is so, how on earth would the overabundant masses learn anything from the "invinsible" rich?
This leads to another question: Are the minority rich influencing the majority or is it vice versa? Hmm... one rich guy in an SUV throws something out the window and just because of that the sorrounding 13 poor people in a modest vehicle do the same?
For goodness sakes! The rich initially ignored and detested Merengue for being the music of the masses, not so anymore!
With bachata the same thing was occuring which was seen as lowly music for "chopos", a couple of years ago things started to change among the upper classes regarding this music, though they only accept the most "refined" versions.
Geez, who is influencing whom?
You would think the numbers would be influential enough...

This also can give you insite to what the "Rich White Dominicans" feel about the "Poor Black Ones"!
They Don't Even "Phucking" SEE THEM!" They don't EXIST!!!
Here he is bringing race into the equation. Of course, this is highly subjective because if a white man marries a black woman and has children with her, that too can be considered what whites feel towards black regarding the "strong" white guy penetrating into the "weak" black woman.
It may be sexus, it may be wrong to think in such way, but it's the same exact thing he's saying in his example.
This is similar to people who say that a certain movie has a hidden message or critic of society, only for everyone to findout later on that the movie was simply meant to be entertaining, nothing more nothing less.
Again, highly subjective which in this case only a race conscious person would be thinking about in any given situation.
If people would become suspect when seeing white people around non-whites, then seeing a white guy having a "black" wife would be as suspect as well, even more so if a white guy goes after non-white prostitutes which could be bought with pieces of papers with dead presidents! Again, the whites dominating over the non-whites dilemma.
But living life in those terms is tiresome and too cynical. Afterall, aren't most DR1ers in the DR because of the more relaxed attitude towards these types of issues? Who knows.
And to think that sweepers, cleaners, janitors (whatever you want to call them) are thought to be lower in the social class scale. I thought that was the reason why MOST people around the world never notice those who clean after them, regardless if the sweeper is white, black, yellow, or blue!

The problem is that "society" includes all types of people, not just the types we like to criticize alot.
