Where in the world they got the roots of this guy? Dominican roots ? That's crazy.

Talk about fluff.

It would be very nice if I became such a warm welcome at the palace office every time I come to D.R.
I am deep rooted in the Dom. Rep. and I would like to interchange two words with him too !!!

We should change the constitution so that we have two presidents.

One to take photos with any fool who wants to get his picture taken with a real "President" of a country.

And another one to DO SOME WORK FOR THE COUNTRY, damn it.

I hope they dug deep in their own pockets ...I hope Wyclef got some accountants for his scam

the macabre pirouette of the Apocalypse zombies

"cage the gloom and doom savages"

Cool, no dress code required.

Oh my Lord... This guy is ridiculous.

I guess he wants to start in VD's next movie.

I got it; LF can play an illiterate, empty suited president of a failed country.

Where in the world they got the roots of this guy= African=Spain=Italy=dominican=haitain=PR

What does Wyacliffta want?... please help my people... let them in... ALL OF THEM...

Fernandez looks white in front of Wclifta

Seriously,
Is Vin Disel Dominican ?

Excuse the deviation but I have to share this and Im sure I will recieve the pardon .
As I was ordering my food at the burger joint a few moments ago, a man walked up in line behind me with a tee shirt on that had a picture of GEORGE W. senior talking with W. junior and above the picture it says,

'' Son ! your making the same mistake in Iraq that I made with your mother '', I didn't pull out in time .''

We should change the constitution so that we have two presidents.

One to take photos with any fool who wants to get his picture taken with a real "President" of a country.

And another one to DO SOME WORK FOR THE COUNTRY, damn it.

Juan B that can be done..we would have a president for the social BS and a Prime Minister for the real work!

Now that's a picture of three "Rocket Scientists" if I ever saw one!

Heart wrote " Excuse the deviation" ....We know you are a deviant so it's ok ,especially with the company you keep!

Obviously pepe, Georgie was not the only one that didnt pull out on time lol.

Fedadiaz-"Where in the world they got the roots of this guy? Dominican roots ? That's crazy."

I don't get it, what is crazy and unusual about that? What is the big deal and why could it not be possible? Why exactly makes it so crazy? Hold on here just a minute Fedadiaz, it might not be so crazy after all.....I don't have the exact story, but the fact of the matter is he definitelly does have some DR roots.

Vin Diesel was born in NY and if I am not mistaken was raised by his mother and adoptive father, not sure which of the two was Dominican, but he grew up culturally as a Dominican-American and like most US born Dominican children, as a youth he spent summers in the DR and throughout the years developed close family ties with what may either be his adoptive or possibly genetic Dominican relatives.

The point of the matter or issue is whether or not he has any kind of roots in the DR and the answer is positively YES. What is not clear if those roots are genetic

Thank you G,
as always , Very insightful .

what a joke

This article is way out contest, so let me add to that:
Vin Diesel is not Dominican, not even his neighbor is Dominican, wake up people, who cares if he ever was?

"Save the Ignoramus"

Stupidity loves company !

I thought no jeans in the palace?

look at this...http://www.diariolibre.com/noticias_det.php?id=231886

Wycleff was the only one with the proper attire according to protocol, he knows better than to show up at the presidential palace in jeans.
Vin is just being Vin and could not care less, since he is a celebrity and they (think) rule the world.
The other two wankers in the photo should have been shown to the revolving door out.

Looks like a Gringo. Humble. Visas for all Gringos. Denied.

carlosfranco. you passed the test. you are certified and an authentic white.
What next do you want now ? A certificate from the kkk and the skin head to attest to that ?
Well you need to attend a meting or a or a rally for that.

the one guy must have been the taxi driver wearing a hat inside a building let alone the palace .....The singer Wyclef was looking for a good accountant but its to late he got a black eye over his charity

?

generoso



about El Vin being Vin

you mean like Elvin Vin-icio being Elvin Vin-icio? or like Manny being Manny?

blutarsky.
why you have to be stupid in these terrible moments.
can't express emotions like compassion and shame ?
Emotions are what seperates a human being from a sub human primate.
The latter has three needs : need for food , need for water, need to copulate
it protects its youngs by instinct not be sentiment.
Ite misa es !

Blu
Regarding Wycleff, I was very surprised and disappointed in him when I heard he paid himself for a past charity concert, that item is difficult to explain.
So maybe he learned from his mistakes, and he will be more careful now, since the microscope is on him. Persons must follow all the rules in the USA, more pertaining to tax matters.
Anyway he is a wonderful ambassador to the Haitian cause, and will be important for Haiti's future,
as long as he stays clears of trying to swim with the Haitian shark politicians.

You took the words out of my mouth......brilliant! LOL

"Well you need to attend a meting or a or a rally for that."

Oh Shakespeare, your spell check seems not to be working tonight!

etiennec01
Get back in your cage etienne, it has been a long and tiring two weeks here in DR.......

etiennc01

is wearing adult pampers during a head of state visit to the presidential palace consider part of that protocol you talking about?

Balaguer wore pampers during many meetings with some of the most important political figures of his time, some even say he took a dump while in the presence of Jimmie Carter

Balaguer has entered a new space in my heart if that is true ....but in Carters case it was just a normal reaction for many people

Actually Balaguer was using the Dominican constitution as DEPENDS, like LIE-onel Fernandez uses the constitution nowadays as toilet tissue!

Wyclef may recover but there will always be a cloud ....Remember "Corky " learned the hard way as well
"I'm thrilled they're taking steps now to build confidence in donors," said Sanjay Rawal, who co-founded Yele with Jean and now works as a consultant to nonprofit groups. "It's a shame everyone who has looked, and is looking, to Wyclef for leadership is doubting his intentions. I've always known his intensions are pure. He has a supreme opportunity to rise above the controversy by making necessary changes in the organization and offering a concrete plan how to spend money people have entrusted to him."
Art Taylor of the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau said the controversy over Yele's expenditures will help it mature.
"It's not the first or the last charity in the country to find themselves in a position where they're now growing, and suddenly there's new scrutiny and they have to do things differently," he said.

old_school_trinitario

If Balaguer wore pampers he sure didn't advertise it or showed anyone.
The protocol thing is just a matter of propriety and respect for tradition. Humans that started the cognitive process by touching two fingers in their hand, and then became civilized, and with the coming of civilization rules were created.
The doctrine of chaos and lack of respect for traditional values and rules in general, must not be followed, in an orderly and just society. Laws and tradition are important attributes, although they are not easy to follow, and sometimes seem like obstacles in our road to be a first world nation.

You are a sick puppy. LOL

"Leonel Fernandez on Sunday met with actor Vin Diesel and Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean, who stressed the solidarity and humanitarian work ," the DT reported recently.

oooo

The three gentlemen of liberal bourgeois tendencies inquired about the possibility of coodinating some of the huge amounts of aid they send to Haiti.

Sending aid to earthquake victims is widely seen among the ethical of humanity as "solidarity and humanitarian work," borrowing DT lingo.

Clearly, vermin see such work as an evil. Aristotle was right when he said our dispositions ... not our eyes ... determine our vision.

I pray this post is on topic of the DT article from which the post quotes.

Professor,

The plot thickens;

POLICIAL

My distinguished colleague, should I say REALLY or RATHER?

Well, I pick RATHER because something other seems to be called for.

Vin Diesel and Wyclef Jean,

Aristotle ... in his immortal masterpiece on art, titled "Rhetoric," and in his other masterpiece titled "Poetics" ... says a just man is greater than an artist, no matter how great the artist is.

Well, what if the artist is also a just man.

Is the just man who happens to be a great artist greater than a man who is "only" just?

This question is too deep for me.

But I pray that you will not be deterred from art or from justice by the vermin.

Your friend,

Belial

This story is lame.

When are we going to get some Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Feliz stories?

Next thing you know is someone would come out and say they were hiding in Haiti and perished in the earthquake.

MJEV.

now thats the old belial rubbish we like to hear .....let me go and get my rubber boots

Mierda, Vin Diesel didn't find a better attire? Coño entre mas billete tienen menos clase y mas pordioseros!! LOL. As far as his "roots" I don't think that hes Dominican. Maybe he would like to be.

Where I live in New York , they pick up the garbage on Wenesdays.
I wonder when DT picks up the garbage.
It appears that since the tragedy that hits Haiti DT picks up the garbage everyday.

BELIAL

Did you quote Aristotle to Vin Diesel and Wyclef Jean or to the rest of us non-celebrities?

Hi etienne, my haitiano friend... how goes your day?

Vin diesel is not dominican... its obviously a mistake!

" Naturally, Hollywood has got into the act. A humble inquiry: whenever the stars are enlisted for the latest global charity gig -- if it's Tuesday, it must be Darfur, Thursday global warming, Friday the one-legged gorillas of the Amazonian rainforest -- do they ever feel remotely abashed at their public posturing? Could they even find any of these places on the globe? And how interested would they be in doing their very public corporal works of mercy if they were given an absolute guarantee beforehand that henceforth no one on earth would ever know of these "charitable" deeds?"

I think we ARE in Cuba ?

Blu , even Fidel would be re-vamping his constitution if he saw the type of censorship thats happening on just a little popcicle stand forum like this one ! E, YOUR SWAZTIKA is a little crooked today is it not?

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer —

I just discovered that E is a Haitiano Dominicano ''quiero ser '' .. How encouraging , because I thought that I was the only non Dominican white boy on this form who is searching for his lost birth certificate in the capital building of Santo D that they cant seem to find . BUT , atleast I will be legal and just maybe by the time my residency is complete , Dags dream of a ''peaceful and humanitarian'' method of deporting the undesirables back in thier cages will have come to fruition !

Thanks to all of them…!!! It’s a very encouraging gesture: An Haitian born celebrity meets the Dominican President to thank him for what he’s done for the neighboring country. It’s a great picture, and this example should be multiplied… Enough is enough, how can Dominican and Haitian live together in a respectful and decent maneer???

I still cant understand why Goerge Bush invited a lithium experiment like Ozzy Osbourne to the white house for dinner ?

he was reaching out to the morons and imbeciles like glimmrttwin and abc and josean ......We must all reach out to these types from time to time no matter how repugnant the concept

Blu,
Starting tommorrow its back to decaf for you primo ! lol.

Fast,
And then the walls came down ! Does that ring a bell ? Now theres an idea that might be growing in popularity and strength as fast as a giant snow ball rolling down a Georgian ski slope . Who would have thought ?

"Did you quote Aristotle to Vin Diesel and Wyclef Jean or to the rest of us non-celebrities?" old school asks.

oooo

The post was addressed Diesel and Jean. Both employ media firms that daily collect everything published about them anywhere in the world. I'm confident they got the post.

This doesn't mean that Aristotle is only for celebrities.

Belial bring us up to date on the riots in Caracas

Funny how a Google search turns up nothing about “RIOTS IN Caracas!”

Could you provide us with a current link Banistan?

vin diesel is a hack and c list celebrity that bum represent the cesspool of parasites that is hollywood who sole purposed is to mentaly cripple are children minds with television reality shows like the jersey shore , and true life Iam a pregnat teen mom?god what a disgrace television shows and actors like this guy has nothing to offer haiti or dominican republic.

So you don't believe in freedom of speech, free enterprise and the ability of the market to regulate itself.

If Hollywood is producing garbage then the people won't watch it; however if Hollywood is producing it it’s because there is a market for it and more importantly it makes money.

Isn’t that the way Adam Smith said it should work?

Yall is so late. Wyclef never took money from his charity for personal use. Yall just jealouse he's richer than you. I mean at first I thought dominicans were mean, ignorant, greedy, selfish, lazy people. But then I told my self that I was being stupid cause I just started judging people for stuff I heard and saw. And then this thing happens to haiti and yall help it's so nice. But then someone says something rude again and then it's just like here we go again. God can't we all just get along let bygons be bygons!

"Belial bring us up to date on the riots in Caracas," one poster makes off-topic request.

oooo


The Venezuela State told RCTV that it must respect Venezuelan law because it is national broadcaster, since more than 70% of its content and operations take place in Venezuela. RCTV said it was not a national broadcaster and therefore it will not respect Venezuelan law. The State ordered the US imperialist Direct TV (satellite) and Peruvian bourgeois Intercable (cable) to close down RCTV until RCTVagrees to respect Venezuelan law. The carriers closed down RCTV.

Two marches ... one in support of the closure by revolutionaries and another against the closure ... were staged in Merida, an university town near Caracas.

Pro-imperialist swine opened fire on the revolutionary march, killing one pro-Chavez student and wounding eight police officers.

The bourgeois media reported that a pro-imperialist dog had been killed, reactionary student scum in Caracas reacted violently again.

I beliave in freddom of speech, but what we have on television is and all out assault on the minds of children, MTV shows are a brainwashing of the mind it glorifieds homosexuality, and irrational behavior. I use to love watching videos of mtv back when there was actually music being played, im only 26 year old i grew up on mtv , but slowly in the times they started changing , they stop playin videos, you started seeing more reality shows about airheads and yuppies. then you started seeing shows about homosexual dating ? looked i got no problem with what you do in the privasy of your own home, but common man i dont wanna watch two dudes making out on television . and is all part of the agenda of the nwo

Does anybody force you to watch them?

knew you were gonna say something like that typical liberal , nobady is forcing you to watch it . thats not the point why do they promote to naseum shows about homosexulaty and stupid reliality show nobady cares about why everytime i turn on the television theres always somebody screaming at the top of there lungs or two girls arguing about something meaningless is all hogwash at the end of the day you could say oh no ones is forcing you to watch it so just turn it off but you have to see from right or wrong and you have to take a stand and draw the line somewhere call them out for what there doing is all part of the phycho social chemical bioligical electromagnetic manipulation of human consciousness

"part of the phycho social chemical bioligical electromagnetic manipulation of human consciousness"


Ok!

You don't work for the Post Office do you?

no I could never work in the post office , I just read the book of david icke global consparicy , interesting book a liberal like yourself would love to read what he writes ,look him up if you havent heard from him but knowing you you problabliy did already.

helly,

Why do you assume that someone who has a different view than you is a liberal, commie conservative?

My friend the world is much more complex than the simplistic analysis of FOX News and right wing talk radio!

I am glad you are a reader I humbly suggest you read all points of view, which will either strength yours or show their weakness.

No one my friend has a monopoly on knowledge or the truth!

I am not familiar with the book you suggest but I will look it up. I can’t promise I will read it because I in the middle of reading several books at the moment, but if I can I will.

You have my word!

color every page josean ..........yes you can

Speaking of simplistic!

Josean,

Please add this book to your reading list: "The Captains and the Kings" by Taylor Caldwell. You'll like it because it deals with the underground world order, you know, the secret society GHWB alluded to.

Great read-should be mandatory reading for US citizens.

MJEV.

Dr. Strangelove,

Consider it on the list next to helly's recomendation.

Now anybody know the latest edition of Dick and Jane or Dr. Seuss we can recommend to Banistan?

Dean Josean,

Before or after it?

yall is so dramatic y yall hate each other so much? Aint yall the same nationality?

aint yall ms haiti I hope you dont talk like that in real life , I stop talking like that in 2003 , no offence but stop talking ghetto aight son word up na mean

Fine.

"I beliave in freddom of speech, but what we have on television is and all out assault on the minds of children," a poster said above.

oooo

In Venezuela, the revolutionaries passed a "law on social reponsibility in radio and television" which says, among others things, that a broadcaster can't air porn during certain hours of heavy child viewership.

"This is censorship. The bourgeois media have free speech; so, they can air whatever they want and whenever they want. Porn is free speech," the filthy bourgeois media exploded in rage.

The Venezuelan law doesn't outlaw broadcast of porn, the law regulates when porn can be broadcast. But the slime in the bourgeois media alleges unwarranted interference by the state in the enjoyment of free speech porn."

Some parents don't want their kids watching porn because the kids don't do their homework.

Contemporary bourgeois society is degenerating so fast that it violently reacts to anything that smacks of cleanliness.

Belial we know you spent your youth looking at feelthy pictures in the stables and hen houses and developed your appetite for Zoophilia

I have done a little reading on Mr. Icke and he takes the grassy knoll to a whole other level, you know like the Twilight Zone!

WOW talk about left feild!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

Lamentably, GC expresses the norm in bourgeois society which he champions.

But GC's offal is no cause for others to abandon civility and gentlemanly discourse. His offal is good cause for others to cling more tightly to civility.

Please pray that GC's soul frees itself from the clutches of bourgeois society. Bourgeois society erased all traces of tact and taste from GC's utterances.

yea josean you gotta read his book you can just go by what you read in wiki, yes his believes is based on summerian text , david icke believes that we only live in our five sense reality our dna and genetic structure is a computer terminal and receiver transmitter that connects us the holographic internet our collective realty. the body and brain is encoded to acess the frequency of the wireless internet the matrix for this reality . call it what you want new age religion or what not I think hes righ about some things
