They should invent robots for border control... Robots will not except money!

I hope this keeps up. DR needs innovation and creativeness.

Someone needs to help spur these young minds and their creativity, I bet with a push in the right direction renewable energies technologies could be made. The stinking government won't do it...So pueblo Roberto Salcedo y Leonel van a seguir robando y sentado ahi como pariguayo asi que alzence y reclamen el pais que ustedes quieren...

trust me on this one...if any of those inventions will be for devices which , if sold to the public will cut into the profits of the oligarchs, they are dead in the water. the DR does not suffer from a lack of creativity and know how among the younger generation. the progress is being held back by lazy, useless, backward drones who only know how to import things and add their profit margins. they are too short sighted to invest in the youth and their future. these guys will probably take these inventions to a foreign country, and some guy from Europe will be a major beneficiary of local talents.

dominica, true education is our only hope.

Hey XWILL , they will steal the Robots !!!

skysail,
the robots should be able to defend its self...lol flame pipes on the sides

the robots could also use joseana and ettienc(ock head) to scare the attackers away!!!......

They should create Robots POLITUR Officers, which would not accept money from all the gringos rapers .

All the sexual tourists to jail !!! Specially those who LOVEEE young girls and boys.

It's sad you don't know yet your true enemies : Goverment corruption (this is why there are so much illegal immigrants ); These illegal immigrants improve your national income gross ( cheap labor in the sugar plantations and in building businesses) ; Governement top officials' money stealing ( millions of USD) ; Huge debts ; Poverty, Ignorance ( no good education), Drug cartels, and Many Gringos rapers.

Many old gringos from France, Germany , USA, Canada etc are retired in your country BECAUSE there is many young and beautiful young girls who worship money because of the DR poverty. So they marry these old men in order to have food and a better life. As they say " la vida aqui esta el infierno".

LIE-onel Fernandez the mafioso, should spend millions of usd to educate them !

Now take this invention for water and commercialize it. Build it here in the DR export it and create jobs!!!

Hey Nehesy, this article is about the innovation of young students using intelligence and hard work for success. It is not a platform for your diatribe about nonsense.

In every land I have ever visited, young and beautiful young girls worship money if they are poor.
And old men take advantage of this situation.
Ever been in Beverly Hills, East Hampton, Hong Kong, Toyko, Bangkok, Rome, London, Miami Beach or Moscow?

You must be envious of these guys, verdad?

Walnut, Good One!!

It does not only happen in DR.

Is this guy living in a cave or something. It happens in NY everyday.

Have you been to bars, go go, discos, etc in U.S.A?

Girls, go out with for nothing just because you are CUTE or some sh*t...

What world do u live in?

Dread, that's a good point!!!

We need a young leader who starts reminding the Dominican people these things. It's already enough Leonel, Hipolito, Miguel, and some other crapped narcisist-egotistical old men behavior.

We need us, the young ppl of DR, to rise and voice our real needs and bring the true power of the ppl to our society ears.

The old kankasourus mind of the old traditionalist Dominican must be eliminated and replace it with the one of a new one. Enough is said and nothing is done.

We need to do what Japan just did, kicked all the old party leaders out of power and replaced them with fresh young minds.

NO MORE GRAY HAIR CORRUPTED OLD MAN TELLING US THE SAME STUPID STORIES OVER AND OVER.

We need new ways of thinking and living. Strong intellectual, social, moral, and developmental values that apply to all ppl of the Dominican Republic, not a few.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

my dear dreadlocks..... as u said earlier today.

major beneficiarys of our LOCAL TALENTS..?
lets not carried away so fast. not much local talents as u might think in the dr.
dr is way behine CHINA, INDIA, AND THE U.S.
I REALLY BELIEVE ITS MUCH TO LATE FOR THE YOUNG EVEN WITH TALENTS TO CATCH UP TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, AND YOUR CORRECT THE GUYS IN THE GOVERNMENT DO NOTHING FOR THEM.

OTHER IDIOT SAID....{NEHESY}

Many old gringos from France, Germany , USA, Canada etc are retired in your country BECAUSE there is many young and beautiful young girls who worship money because of the DR poverty. So they marry these old men in order to have food and a better life. As they say " la vida aqui esta el infierno, AND THEN HE SAID ALL SEXUAL TOURISTS SHOULD GO TO JAIL.... REALLY!
AND NOW WHAT ABOUT THE DOMINICANS WHO SELL THEIR KIDS?...
AND WHAT ABOUT THE DOMINICANS THE SO CALLED FATHERS WHO HAVE SEX WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN?.... U KNOW IF A CHILD IS 8-9YEARS OLD, LIGHT SKINNED, BEAUTIFUL HER SO CALLED FATHER DOES HER, THEN HER UNCLE, AND ECT! AT 12YEARS OLD SHES IN THE STREET WITH THE GRINGO'S.

no gringo can have a young girl with out the help from one dominican.
and u know this dont u?
gringos go to the campo's by them self's?
the clubs by them self's? come on guys theirs aways a dominican close by.
sh-t and u know how horny dominican men are dont u?.
when did u start to worry how old the girl was?
sh-t go to any canbana and watch the suv's roll in all night long with older domincan men with babies {very young girls} sitting in the front seat with them.....

most dominican women, mothers fear dominican men alone with their young girls then with any gringo., and i have spoken with 100,s of mothers that are so scared to be with a man she does not know if the guy wants her or ter young daughters., aways two things on the dominican guys head. sex and money.

ok then put the gringo's in jail be be sure to also place the dominican father or pimp in the jail also.
this is where they all belong.anyway.,
i dont look at 15year girls... yes i said girls.... not women.
all at look with lust in their hearts gringos and domincans should roast in hell., 4 ever.

Guys,

even if they don't get help from the government, they have to continue to dream, perhaps one day it becomes a reallity.

Danny,

it is never too late, also, I don't think they're trying to catch up to China or India, they're just trying to be better citizens, we already have enough corruption in our mist.

danny, we will never know if they can catch up if nobody offers them an opportunity to start. and Trinity is absolutely right. away with all these old fossils. time has passed them by. they impede progress. retire them out to pasture.

Walnut

I'm a young man, and almost married.

Plus i'm good looking , tall , black and handsome. I'd never paid for a woman even if I were 70yrs old.

I went 4 times in your country and I ( HAVE NEVER) , And I WILL NEVER touch those girls.

These pigs do the same thing in Asia ( Thailand) and Africa ( Morocco, Senegal etc).

They leave their children and grandchildren in Europe and rape your daughters for few dollars...

@ Danny00

I went to many places : New york, Cuba ( La havana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos etc) , London, Dakar, Abidjan, Ouagadougou ,Sweden, Morocco, Germany, Spain etc .

I live in paris I never saw a place like SOSUA ....

I'M NOT A GRINGO....And there are many chances that you're more stupid than me...

I'm agree with you though every child raper should go to jail for life. As I said they spread the same evil in the Asia and Africa ( North and South)

But YOU dominicans should kick their asses, it's your children...

Nehesey
Manytimes it is the family that pimps them out. This is why the problem is so bad.

Jonbonz

May be that their family who pimps them out.

But there Supply because there is a huge Demands.

A TRUE MAN , with some heart can't sleep with a woman who is hungry , true or not ?

I am not condoning the action. I am simply saying the solution is not as easy as you say. This is a population that 70% feel it is better for the kids to be cleening windshield on the corner than be in school.
I have seen people ready to fight to prove their manhood to get a shot of tail but don't even worry about whether thier own kids have a roof over their head.

jonbonz, you are in fine form today. Happy Easter, to all who observe it. yes, sir, it is a complex issue, when you have guys pimping out their own daughters. thatb is a fact. i hvae seen men bring their teenage girls to gringo on motoconchos. that, my friends, is some pretty low behavior.

We need these kids to go into politics and get rid of those inbred corrupt scum.

jonbonz, I agree. Dominican authorities do not want the people educated, otherwise their transparent corruption would end. These 'adults' are pathologically corrupt and do NOTHING for society. They must be eliminated.

Jonbonz

I still get you, poverty is hard everywhere. Cuba is more poor than the DR, in la havana I saw old people ( White and Blacks) begging in the streets some CUCS. There is some prostituion too.

I didn't understand because it's a paradise like the DR , it's true that the US embargo is killing them too. But Damn I didn't eat a good fish for 2 weeks in that country and there is water all over that island.

The last time I was in the DR ( 2.5 months ago) I felt bad when I saw how they were young.

The DR is plenty of food specially if you eat LOCAL. Your land is fertile. This people don't need to sell you're precious women ( God knows they're really beautiful and I mean that because I travel a lot) because you can have a roof, and plenty of food .

But my brother what kills me most ( they do the same in my original country), it's when I see them in Sosua, and then when they get in Charles de Gaulle's Airport in Paris, these same pigs behave well

Ateo,

Imagine what could have done for education with the $750,000,000 million dollars LIE-onel Fernandez wasted on the useless METRO!

Josean, forget about the METRO.

This is not the problem of our country.

We are the problem, all these loser parents not sending their kids to school 'cause they never went to school so their kids must do and behave the same. BULL SH*T

The power and strength of any society starts at HOME, HOME...

It's not METRO, POLITICAL PARTY of whatever else!!!

So, we have to do is - STOP the politics and start a revolutionary process in which all young ppl of DR exposes their real thoughts, feelings, and what we really want for our country.

LET'S STOP THE OLD MEN TRADIONAL SH*T WHO KNOWS HOW TO CONTROL OUR MINDS THROUGH POLITICS AND WHAT NOT?

STOP the DEMENCIA, STOP TALKING ABOUT LEONEL, MIGUEL, HIPOLITO, etc

They are all the same thieves with different jackets....as long as we don't understand that we are doomed.

Get it, the METRO Praying is not the solution..It's us PPL. We need to revel and make sure they understand we won't their BS anymore.

Cont...

Do u think Miguel, Leonel, Hipolito, or any other thief cares what you have to say about the METRO?

and by the way, we need to protect and care for whatever is already built...it's part of our island and infrastructure for the benefit of our ppl.

See, everytime you mention METRO, I feel like as a SMART MAN YOU ARE!! - you are insulting your inteligence. In other countries, whatever infrstructure is built by whatever president is for the ppl and it needs to be protected - for the fact that we are not Peledeistas, Peredeistas, or whatever...afterall, we are one and the same PPL - DOMINICANS!!

If we don't understand it, we are FUC****

POLITIANS ARE TAKING DR TO THE GALLOWS (all of them, not exceptions)

We need a new independent party with young ideas, modern input, and cutting edge laws almost close to what they have in other developed and non-developed countries. Let's take the good of both and create a new system that works for us DOMINICANS.

JPDTrinity,

That is a myth that parents don't want to send their kids to school.

There are no schools to send them!

Offer scholarships to Carol Morgan and see if they wouln't take you up on the offer!

Public education in DR essentially doesn’t exist, and what does exist in not fit for human beings in academic quality or physical facilities.

It is not by just shear neglect or government corruption but by a design that is so socially ingrained in us by those who benefit from our ignorance that they have us believing, as you do, that its is our own fault!

The reason I harp on the METRO as I have said many times before, is to keep ever present the waste of our resources on frivolous self serving political projects, so maybe just maybe, we don’t fall for it and allow it to happen ever again.

Your right the METRO is but a symptom of a grater disease, but sometimes it easer to keep pointing to the symptom until the patient (US) wakes up and realizes we have a disease!

I for agree with ateo, Education is the key! but if the people gets well educated, then the gov;t and politicians would lose because they will no longer be able to control "ignorant" folks. That's the way they see it. Its like i said before, people must stop relying on these losers and do something themselves. God bless the intelligent minds our young men and women. Little by Little, people are waking up and they have enough of this s*8t! Yucahu, JPD trinity, Nehesy, and xwill7 your comments are touche!

Josean, your comments well respected and taken, however - please remember this is not a local issue. This is happening throughout the world U.S, E.U, Asia, etc - where most of students have no way of good education. It's all about drugs, gangs, deliquency, sex, bling-bling, and what not?

So, please let's use you intellectual power and great knowledge of the subject to be delivered to the masses in a positive. Let's convene an independent party that can take this message of yours, mine, and everybody else to the masses.

DO U THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE?

NO NEGATIVE LANGUAGE
NO FINGERS POINTING
NO NAME CALLING
JUST PURE POSITIVE STRAIGHT TALKING LANGUAGE...

DO U THINK IT CAN BE DONE IN DR?

Dominican Republic must do more for its future than rely on hotels, tourism and golf courses. It must prepare (and educate) its people and country for the future. Cuba has done more with less- aside from all its other problems and limitations. Wind power is a win win for all. Maybe we will one day silence that all but familiar phrase "Se fue la luz" lol

ASDR, Josean and i have been saying the same thing you just said, about turning the entire country into a tourist resort ,for as long as i can remember. but, other guys respond to it by saying that we just want to drive the foreigners into the sea.

JPDTrinity,

Thank you, but I have no great knowledge and much less intellectual power; if anything I just may have a little common sense. Respectfully though, I would like to appreciate the fact that this website is not just viewed by the “regulars” but there are people who are coming in after the movie started, so to speak. So what may be repetitive and tedious to you and others;

“NEGATIVE LANGUAGE”
“FINGERS POINTING”
“NAME CALLING”

is not new to them and they can get a crash course on LIE-onel Fernandez, if you will a METROLANDIA 101.

I have stated before that LIE-onel Fernandez has the bully pulpit and OUR tax dollars to dispense his propaganda and buy journalist a dime a dozen with exception of a very limited few which you can count on one hand and not use all five fingers.

All we have are mediums like DT to get the alternative view out.

continued:

I also perfectly understand that people are experiencing all types of deprivations all over the world.

Yes, even in the good old USA, but while I care for their suffering also, I am concentrating on advocating for the 99% of Dominicans who are voiceless, powerless or are so beaten down they have given up. I am sure there are people like you, me and others in all the countries you cite that are also speaking truth to power as we are attempting to do in our own modest way.

I do appreciate you critique and I think we are just trying to arrive at the same destination using different roads. Maybe all roads really do lead to Rome!

Just make sure you have a cold Presidente for me if you arrive first, as I promise to do the same, should I get there slightly ahead of you my brother!

ASDR59, dreadlocks,

I will be bet the two of you gentlemen, dimes to pennies, that those who "run" our national economy via "all the eggs in the one tourism basket," have their personal portfolios highly diversified. So if diversification is good for them individually why not for our national economic interest.

Dread can speak to this probably better than any of us certainly me, regarding the high diversification model of the Singapore economy.


“The economy of Singapore is a developed country and highly developed state capitalist mixed economy. While government intervention in the market is kept at a minimum, the state controls and owns firms that comprise at least 60% of the GDP through government entities such as the sovereign wealth fund Temasek.[1] It has an open business environment, relatively corruption-free and transparent, stable prices, and one of the highest per capita gross domestic products (GDP) in the world.

Continued:

Its innovative yet steadfast form of economics that combines economic planning with free-market[2] has given it the nickname the Singapore Model. Exports, particularly in electronics and chemicals, and services provide the main source of revenue for the economy, which allows it to purchase natural resources and raw goods which it does not have. Singapore could thus be said to rely on an extended concept of entrepot trade, by purchasing raw goods and refining them for re-export, such as in the wafer fabrication industry and oil refining. Singapore also has a strategic port which makes it more competitive than many of its neighbours to carry out such entrepot activities.

Continued:

The Port of Singapore is the busiest in the world, surpassing Rotterdam and Hong Kong.[3] In addition, Singapore's port infrastructure and skilled workforce, which is due to the success of the country's education policy in producing skilled workers, is also fundamental in this aspect as they provide easier access to markets for both importing and exporting, and also provide the skill(s) needed to refine imports into exports.”


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

Some Puerto Ricans are studying the Singapore Model very closely because of the current economic crisis they are facing, especially since ironically the Singaporeans modeled their economy shortly after independence on the Puerto Rican economic development model of the early commonwealth's Operation Bootstrap (Operación Manos a la Obra). Apparently they used the Puerto Rican model and developed if further the Puerto Ricans chose a dependency model which has now come back to haunt them.

Please listen to this program http://www.vozdelcentro.org/?p=348 which although related to Puerto Rico, I feel is very relevant to the Spanish speaking Caribbean in particular.

I would be very interested to hear your opinions on how some of the things you hear could be adapted to our Dominican reality.

http://www.vozdelcentro.org/?page_id=719

Singapore is a success because they embrace the Free Market....Something the Dominican Republic refuses to do.

Anthony is in the Giunees Book for always being the first to cite the obvious!

Josie,

So you agree with me?

anthonyc, explain to me what you mean by that statement. Singapore is a success for many more reasons than that. an answer like that is exactly what i would expect from your six year old intellect.

Ok guys my humble opinion about Singapore. This was the later 80s so I do not know about now. A guest worker in Singapore is just that. Any children born in Singapore to a guest work is a non resident non citizen, Guest workers are on one year renewal for the permit. A guest worker desiring to marry a Singapore citizen has to apply for residency prior to getting married or automatically deported. Rape hanging offence, Shop lifting, caneing offence. All housing is owned by the government with free hold lease. If you are a young person who has an apartment and you unemployed old parent is homeless they will throw you out of your home and give it to your parent. Littering detainable offence, Chewing gum in public, Smoking in public, wearing tie died shirts hippism) are all detainable offenses. Singapore biggest source of revenue then was transshipment. The produced little of their own products. The were the warehouse of all goods passing through the Melaka Strait.
Cont

The DR could do the same due to the proximity to the Panama Canal.
Education is light years ahead of the US let along the DR. The average person in Singapore can read and write at least two languages. The health police will come into your house to check for standing water in flower pots to ensure you do not have breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Finally first world military. Though small, well paid and, well equipped. They were big enough of a power house that the North Koreans blinked when they said they would detain a weapon ship if it came near.

Nehesay what you have in the DR is the mother state going. There are barriers to small holder agriculture because that can not be centrally controlled. When half the population is living in the greater Santo Domingo area with not enough water, Not enough power, and Not enough food production locally then they become babies in the mothers womb hooked up to the government umbilical.

The issue of tourism is a very simple one. No more money for tourism itself. Fix the roads and infrastructure on the interior and tourism will take off as a secondary benefit. This entire island is paradise and the beaches are only part of it. In Central America they are raising tilapia in cages in mountain lakes. Why not here? Roads to access lakes with long term lease for cabin sites and let locals make cabins to rent out to tourist. Not the government investing just long term permits for a price.
Let the local university give credit toward a degree for classes taken to learn Spanish as a foreigner. The US will pay 5k a semester for school and 1300 a month housing allowance for living for all the military veterans that have been out less than 8 years. 100000 a year get this benefit and less than 1/3 uses it. That is more income for the Universities that could be used to build up the facilities for the local students.
Bottom line may things do not require much money.

"i'm good looking , tall , black and handsome. I'd never paid for a woman even if I were 70yrs old."

Well, good for you!

And of what relevence is that to this article or to anything.


"I live in paris I never saw a place like SOSUA ...."

Then don't come back!

Stay in Paris with its abundance of subway pickpockets.


"This people don't need to sell you're precious women ( God knows they're really beautiful"

The women are really beautiful (So you noticed).


Enough Said regarding your statements.

nehesy said

I'd never paid for a woman even if I were 70yrs old."

yes, you have. you just have not added it up.

Dready baby,

Don't you have a picnic to go to on you government 3 day holiday weekend? Better squeeze as much fun as you can into it because on Monday you have to go back to paper shuffling on my dime.

i would rather shuffle paper to help the general public than hire illegal immigrants from El Salvador to work on a lawn cutting business. its called morality. as to your asinine statement about embracing the free market...please explain greece and iceland to me in your best economic vernacular.

Dread you would figure that Anthony being a Marielito would have some sympathy for the plight of other undocumented workers!

yes, especially being one of the ones Fidel let out of jail , in order to upgrade Cuban society

Greece and Iceland? You mean those failed socialist economies?

As for morality......who's morality? Yours?
Charity at the point of a gun?
Typical leftist tactic of being charitable with other people's money.
Personally, I have never hired an illegal.

Los gringos son los mas corruptos.

You soy un negro sabroso y guapo, pagar para una mujer es una verguanza...

Qué DIOS maldiga a todos estos turistas sexuales.

Nehesy, i have met many guys like you in my lifetime, who claim they never pay for sex. they all do. the fact that they do not simply name the price and hand over the cash, does not mean money does not change hands. some guys pay their girlfriend´s rent, credit cards, etc. i sincerely hope that you are not the type who has the woman spend money on you. there are names for people like that, and none of them are charitable.

@Drealocks

You're funny man !

May be you're stalking me because I pointed my finger on guys like you : gringos who travelled into the 3rd world (including my own original country) in order have sex with young women and boys.

It's a FACT when you take a plane for the DR, CUBA or AFRICA , they present you a movie with all the sex convicts ( Thailand, DR, Cuba, Morocco etc) who have been caught all over the world : 100 % ARE GRINGOS. They'd do the same at home ( in fact they do it...) but it's easier in the 3rd world you can pay the officials...

But I repeat (GOD knows what I'm saying and I'm not a hypocrite) I won't do those nasty things.

I look too good man !!!! JAJAJAJA

Yo soy un negro lindo y sabroso, pagar para un mujer es una verguanza , QUE DIOS MALDIGA A TODOS ESTOS TURISTAS SEXUALES and I MEAN IT...A true man with heart doesn't sleep with a hungry woman for money. The pedophiles should be ALL sent to jail for life...

nehesy, you are absolutely incorrect about your speculation of what i am. i am a caribbean man, born and bred. no gringo here. i am home. i am not here looking for young girls. i live a normal life. but, i will send you your trophy for being a guy who is so desirable to the opposite sex that women line up for miles with their credit cards to splurge their money upon his bountiful wonders. get a life, fool. nobody needs to hear your version of how human relationships should proceed. not everybody is as spectaculAr as you are. some guys have to part with some money in order to attract the opposite sex. good for you that you are God´s gift to women. the trophy has been sent to you by DHL, and the tracking number is DROP DEAD.
