At last, something positive. More drunken idiots driving later at night.

juanb,

Don't be hatin'
"...El Domingo se hizo pa' beber!!!!"

no hatin is the fact to many idiots on the road as it is image more but drunk, I know corruption is money in dr

brootto,

How dare you accuse the DR of being corrupt. There is no corruption in the DR; just an unwritten law that dictates every bureaucrat must get a commission for services rendered. Above and beyond his/her salary. It's all very transparent actually...

I agree jacirez very transparent.

brootto,

Indeed...

it took me more than just applying for my mother death certificate with such a transparantcy it only cost me $150.00 us money that is. in what country does that happen, i understand a few bucks but 150 give me a break

Brootto,
"..the law that dictates every bureaucrat must get a commission for services rendered..." means EVERY bureaucrat that handles/sees your request for service...
This system has been in place for years, so bend over and take it like a man...

i paid 1000 peso, in total, just to get a report for a lost auto matricula. no vaseline, not even a reach-around! the cad!

you know something, jacirez? it is a good thing we can make light of this. it is so ridiculous, it can only be treated like a joke. what this country is desperately in need of is adult supervision. it is run by a bunch of footloose adolescents, all having a ball, unaware of the consequences of their conduct.

Guys this is just another "dream on" unenforceable law of wishful thinkers that believe that they can with the stroke of a pen legislate crime way.
Remember the lessons of the US Dry Law or prohibition? It just made a bonanza for the smugglers
and gangsters until it was repealed.
Lesson was it's useless to put laws in the books and decrees that are unenforceable. Period.
It is just another excuse for graft and extortion to the poor colmado owners.
When there is a will there is a way.

Adult supervision wont do anything to rid them of the incompetence a a a annnd inefficiency of the institutions. What is needed is another 30 years of Trujiiiiiiillo or Pinochet style dictatorship.

dreads,

You are whining again

I think you like it aka with no vaseline. Lets all feel bad for dreads he is always being picked on by customs agents,cops and footloose adolescents. This poor guy has a university degree paid for and he still gets no respect.
The world is treating him badly and he wants adult supervision for everyone, dude man up take control of your life and stop blaming everyone

Stick to golf or caddying or whatever idiot....soon they will be kicking your slimy ass out of here and you will go back to the arctic circle such a life

TFISKE, you need to grow up sometime, you incoherent fool. playing children's games is not for me. i suppose we have now entered into the dimension wherein you will search out every post i make, and attack me for "complaining". i guess i will have to change my handle, to something more caucasian. the visage of a colored man expressing an opinion seems to be too onerous for you, Tarzan. well, i find you incorrigibly loathsome and condescending, and ignorant , to boot. you are the only cretin i have ever encountered who demeans someone for getting a college scholarship. in some circles, wherein intelligent people interchange, it is considered praiseworthy to get a scholarship of any kind. to people suffering from drug induced dementia, epitomised by you, it is to be excoriated. you are beneath vermin, a pestilence upon the planet, and a baneful effluvium enveloping civilisation. now go retire to your sandbox, you nattering child. grown ups are trying to have a conversation!

Everybody is missing the important point here; the extension of drinking hours is an important part of the "blindaje" of the country's economy. It puts more cash into circulation and help "consumer confidence". Economies are built on it; "bread and circuses".

The only realy delicate part is that there are only 24 drinking hours in a day and I am afraid the economy is going to need more than that....

just playing devil's advocate here , Maldito. what if the negative aspects of the extension, such as murder, mayhem, vehicular accidents, slip and fall accidents, and other externalities outweighs the additional cash register sales occasioned by the additional hours of sale? just a thought.

not one more drop for the idiot Fiske unless it is enough for alcohol poisoning and then you can pour it down his deformed throat

Dreads,

You worry about everyone let them have some extended hours you whining baby!
Let the businesses makes some money. you such a xxxx

You sad whining man go to goulets house and hug each other in fear, or have him read you a bed time story you chicken xxxx.

Who drives at night in the DR anyway, like I said fix the roads like Cancun, Mayan Riv has done!

WOW and you say you have a degree.. moron

the stench of the St Lawrence, the putrid and verminous TFISKE, has apparently not heeded my entreaties to go somewhere and die quietly. like the miserable , petulant and annoying child he is, he seeks to single out every post i make, and give his pennies worth of rejoinder. let me try to educate you a bit, if you still have any brain cells left. Maldito couched the idea in economic terms. in economics, there is such an issue called the cost -benefit analysis. are you following this? it is simple really; what is going to be the cost to society to raise the marginal revenues? do you realise what it costs for a one week stay in intensive care? do you consider the cost of a guy who is drunk at 6am, because he can drink all night, plowing into a family on the way to church? i know that by nature you are a superficial simpleton, one whose mind is not trained to contemplate further than the surface. that is why i implore you to go and converse with your mental age group, 3 year olds.

Dreads
You loser
Your such a whiner and afraid of everything man give it a rest relax man!

Is there anything you are not afraid of? Where do you live that there is no danger!

Are you living with goulet in his bubble!

Lets ban booze, smoking, and fatty food, cars older than 4yrs, everyone needs new tires every year, no more motor cycles, We should all be forced to drive a foam car or truck!

Wake up man stop trying to regulate everything and live your life !

The world is scary dreads but take a chance get out of the books and the bubble!

TFISKE, do you think it is sheer happenstance that each day some other poster expresses his distaste for you? if you do, let me disabuse you of that misconception. it is because you are a loathsome reptile. calling attention to the negative aspects of an issue is not whining. it is called inquiry. it is not an open secret that the later people stay out drinking, the greater the probability for sub optimal outcomes. as far as you are concerned, leave it alone; its just a bunch of dominicans. so what if they suffer adverse effects attributable to late night drinking and intoxication? they have no better pursuits anyway. let the natives enjoy themselves in the only way they can ; drinking and partying all night; that is all they are good for. you just hope that your caddy stays sober, and all is well with the DR. you are insufferable, loathsome, and incorrigibly reprehensible. what is more, you bore me.

DREADS,
The DR is not the only country that drinks late wake up man!

Stay home lock the doors and shake in fear you xxxxx

stop trying to run everybodys lives just because your scared to leave the house

fiske every body hates you...get the picture

Again, back to the point...driking & driving and spontaneous gun-play drive the health care industry, automobile parts secondary market, and consumer armements sectors (you have to buy to reload).

Don't you see dread; it is a win win for eveyone.

Sure there are some unfortunate losses but really, what are those anyway? Is that not just social eveloution?!?

i love it, Maldito ;"spontaneous gun play". hey , every single professional athlete in the NFL, NBA, ARENA FOOTBALL, or whatever, who gets into some gunplay incident at a nightclub, gets into it after 2am. the crap always starts after guys get really sloshed. the machismo usually stays under wraps until the withching hour, somewhere around 2am. then all hell breaks loose; bar fights, gunshots, DWI arrests, and car wrecks. but it does drive the health care industry, i must concede. it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, unless you are the guy who gets blown away by a stray bullet from some lunatic. asw for you TFISKE, i would not expect the concept of dangerous repercussions to mean anything to you, or give you cause for concern. the Good Lord takes care of fools and small children, which, in your case, are one and the same.

Wow, dreads and goulet

If you get shot while hanging out with hookers while doing blow or getting drunk sorry sbout your luck!
Maybe you should not have been there or you are having a bad day!

Its called fate and I am sure there are worse ways to go! You could die of old age in your bubble because your scared to leave the house

Socrates from the Arctic has just regaled us with his nobel prize winning concept; fate. well, why don't you tell insurance companies to disband their actuarial divisions and department, because everything is driven and determined by "fate". no need for risk management, not underwriting. forget that there are factors which increase, or decrease risk. no need to apply precautionary measures to any event; it's all about fate. no need to wear your seatbelt. if fate dictates it, you are going to die, anyway. why bother reduce your speed to 30 miles per hour on the icy , winding road? speed it up to 120. fate will either protect you, or decide that you will crash into a railway overpass. but it will be fate, and fate only. man has no control, nor responsibility to mitigate risk.

For those who don't know there hasn't ever been a limit for serving alcohool in the DR. I remember going out on Friday nights and coming home Monday mornings. Even now, I am sure, Discos, Bars and Carwashs sell Presidente 24/7 (if they are open) so this is a moot point...

"EL DOMINGO SE HIZO PA' BEBER!!!!!!!"

and now we have your idiot countryman here playing mr white trash with 20 bucks and drunk every night and night...do you know this imbecile Fiske can something be done to improve your quality of life other than exporting creeps like that....jacirez please reflect on your loser countryman...you have not been your usual eloquent self on this matter

I have a neighbor that is a real pain. I am thinking of giving him a 1.5l of cheap whiskey and a glock for Christmas; Merry Christmas to him and, with a little luck, a happy New Year to me ;-)

Goulet,

Your old man and out of touch! Your a donald rumsfeld want a be! Hunt like cheney I am sure

Dude hang it up the 70's are over you and dreads gotta stop dreaming about the 70's

You pop a viagra and the only thing that gets stiff is your neck!

sorry oldman you wont be around to see your Cuba dream!

thus spake the pond scum of the Yukon. nary an intelligent word.

dread,

It was 7 celcius today

Thanks to global warming!

If you have never been how do you have a clue!

DrEADS ... I think I here goulet calling and its story time back in the Bubble Boys!

Its scarey out there! whoooooooooooo

TFISKE, you read my handle? dreadlocks! bubble? you mean moi? bubble is a thing associated with caucasians, who have a fear of "natives". they want their burger king, and wendys, but they are afraid to venture afield, because hordes of darkies will approach them, trying to sell them bogus cigars, weed, and ask to shine their shoes. they will shake their hands and give them some exotic, incurable , tropical disease. they will get bitten by strange insects, and lizards will jump on them. they will be surrounded by terrifying gangs of beach dogs. and worse, local lotharios, who do not know their places in the human pecking order, might want to dance with their spouses! heaven forbid! no, TFISKE, guys who are called Dreadlocks have no fear of "the other". he is one of them.

Whooooo,

Your a loser man! You are out of your mind!

I have no worries and I hate burger king

I would believe you are capable of passing on a sick disease with no guilt!

Thats the sign of a sad unhappy man

what the hell is a "sick disease"? is it the opposite of a healthy disease? i told you you are at the bottom of the evolutionary chain, but you will not listen.

OK; guys...that's enough!

Dreads, I said you are a sick enough person to give someone a disease!


What you wrote shows me there is something wrong with you!

I guess we no why customs stops you all the time
