At least I know where my allegiances belong. Unlike some others such as you, Gourmet Imperial.
You Manitoba Moron with a penchant for other people's property OPP!
Get a snowmobile or something, tap some maple, or get a dog sled and loose yourself in the Yukon;
But, stop perpetrating frauds. You pathetic patsy yellow jounalist invader flunkie!

And to the lip reader:
Go to H....

Or a Hidden Agenda?

It's baffling how comments on daily articles and forum threads are utilized by "the usual suspects" to defame or distort "our" heritage, and frankly "our" people as a whole. These "usual suspects" routinely hover around Dominican Today as if they were affected parties in our affairs.
They are mostly:

• ET's: Extra Territorials----------Not of Dominican origin.
  
  NN's: Non-Native-----------------Not of Dominican nationality or partial to our issues.
  
  Enigmas: Either Spam-Bots or Lunatics.
  
  Provocateurs: Their sole purpose is to denigrate our character & create disharmony.
  

Of all the above the most harmful to our interests are "The Provocateurs" (who have an axe to grind), whose main goal for camping out at DT is to destroy our image, and weaken morale. These "Provocateurs" are the same ones that perpetrate being pollitically correct, yet, they squeal and whine when a patriot-poster defends our cause, when he corrects their bombastic distortions of "our" issues, or when their impressions and opinions are burst like a bubble.

Some of the distortions that can be categorized as "Sticks and Stones" may be encountered while viewing any topic. You might stumble upon the constant occurences of unfounded vulgarity, out-right aggression, and mean-spirit (mala fe) while reading comments about any DT article.

Where do these people get offf slinging all this mud on our people?
Why belabor the issue?
Why such tenacity? Let it go, for goodness sakes.
Why go out of your way with this prolonged "smear campaign"?

We've stumbled upon, come face to face with, and encountered quite a variety of characters who are Hell-Bent on blowing up "our" spot.

My conclusion is that several of these personalities are ignorant, have no place to vent their pent-up frustrations, and basically have a HIDDEN AGENDA behind their morbid motives.

No one can argue "every topic" when it's not their concern? Unless the intent is to sling Sticks and Stones, and place obstacles in the midst of Dominicanos, Dominicanas, Quisqueyanos exchaging their ideas. These obstacles are obstruction to the freee exchange of thoughts between the brethren.

I believe that Dominican Today is a forum for our peoples, La Familia en general, to promote "our" identity, "our" history. At the same time to promote the beauty of our tropical patria, our little piece of sovereign land. DT promotes Real Estate, pristine Golf courses, splendid beaches. I also believe that this is an outstanding venue to express our common hopes, and our aspirations. But still, some nefarious chronic posters have "gotten" into the habit of insulting our idiosynchracies.

How do they get away with it? Beats me!
But, when I come accross a potty mouth provocateur, you can be sure I will rectify 'em.

How can anyone allow the type of smut that is slung upon "US" on many threads here?
The Sticks and Stones are definitely out-of-place, here. If we stray off the topic, why must we always wind up in the mud?

I'm for political correctness; But, I'm also for calling a spade a spade. Yo si soy Domincano, serie Palito, de Villa nacido y criado en La Capital. I'm no joke! Skip the dumb stuff. My people come first, comprende. Not going to the back of the bus, or shutting up for no foreigner.

HIDDEN AGENDAS................"Watch the Closing Doors"
Step lively!
Next, stop 137 st. City College (Want to take up some Dominican Studies classes)

Enough with the frat boy humor!
Not at the expense of our people.

If you don't know who we are? You better ask somebody!

Corruption is so much more pronounced in the DR, NO KIDDING. When I worked in Colombia in the late 80's one dare not go out after dark (gringos) and drugs were everywhere. Now if you can believe it Medillien is now a tourist hotspot. Peru has gotten a lot better and Chile has the hottest economy in LA. What have they done over the last 15 years, they all made a concerted effort to clean up corruption within their respective governments and large private companies. The Pueblo Viejo mine is getting ready to crank back up and they will employ a lot of locals (4000+) how many Dominican companies are involved in major contracts there-----Very few, why, the international firms that are doing the work dont trust them. Mistreatment of employees, non payment of wages, benefits etc. and always trying to scam someone or their competition.

Mine operator-Canadian
Main Construction company- US Based, work by Mexican subsiderary
Temporary facilities (camp, kitchen etc.) A company out of Saudi
Services Contract (my former employer) a French company

Isnt this project being promoted as a major "DOMINICAN" project ??
