Leonel displayed openly the same attitude and look where it got us.

“Every Generation Needs a New Revolution”

Thomas Jefferson

Maybe they should have had these "revolutions" during Leonel's term and not when someone is trying to give you a hand such as Danilo.

Danilo,


Could you please point out the components of that "HAND" other than the MIDDLE FINGER that Saint Danilo is giving to the Dominican People with the new TAX theft he is trying to pass?

Burn, burn; next the Palace and congress

I never thought I would ever agree with Josean, but I have been saying that the only way things are going to change in this country, really change, is with a revolution. The problem is, that it is just not in the Dominican blood. The best way to effectuate real change, sometimes requires the shedding of blood. Dominicans did not free themselves from slavery. It took the courage and initiative of the Haitians before the Dominicans moved a muscle to help themselves.

@BASTA I agree, burn baby burn.

Wow.


Yes. Lets us all take what isn't ours!


What a bunch of lazy, ignorant, mooching, slags you are

"Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against."


Thomas Carlyle

"Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against."

Thomas Carlyle should be placed in the Pantheon of idiots narrow vision. All one has to do is look at Greece to see how wrong he is.

Why would he want to be buried next to you!

And The Cunt says

Wow

What a bunch of lazy, ignorant, mooching, slags you are

AND I SAY!

YOUR ASS IS MINE.

Im going to show you What a bunch of lazy, ignorant, mooching, slags can do to a Cunt like you.

Im going to teach you how to RESPECT our Dominican Brothers and Sisters.

And if you keep talking shit, I promise you that I will cut your focking toung off and shove it up your ass.

HaHaHa

El Bufoon put down that pipe!

Dreamkiller

Shut your trap. You are next on my list.

jejeje

Environmentalists cutting down trees? Ha ha ha! Stupid, hypocritical, ignorant, vandalistic, feral, peasant squatters!

Roy

It's okay to sacrifice a few to save the MANY!

Agreed, Josean

Time to 'sacrifice' a few of these destructive idiots and the rest will scatter!

They might have the same idea Roy!

It's ironic that in South Africa there are also protests by mine workers urged on by the ANC. To quote John Lennon's song" You say you want a revolution, well, we all love to see the plans". Revolutions are nothing more than the gathering of another group of thugs, thieves and delinquents with the excuse of helping the poor in order to steal and take everybody Else's money and property away. Does, Cuba and Venezuela and Nicaragua sound familiar? Anybody wants to live there? Is so easy to spur others to die, and kill and murder their fellow brothers and sisters, to destroy their homes. Is so easy to send others. Since when are revolutionaries any different? Where are these angels? These geniuses that have the solutions for everything? These heaven sent prophets? Were are they? They are stealing and lying and taking bribes and killing just like everybody else. What we need is common sense, not violence and the bile hate for their own people like some here have expressed.

Revolutions fill you full of hate and resentment even towards your own family and friends. The politician and its own plan becomes more important than your family and friends. Go! and snitch on your own, go and kill your own brothers and sisters for the new political system. "Is for the good of the country." Go! And when you have murdered your own people, there will be paradise. Go and do it for me! For your people! For your country! Here. I will give you this mansion that I took away from somebody else. This is your reward for having murdered your own. I will give you a job and pay you $20.00 dollars a month, because you don't need more. I will think for you and tell you what book to read and what movies to see and what music to listen to. Give me your children so I can transform them into people like you. That are not afraid to kill their own and fill them with hate and resentment. And don't you dare complaint you ungrateful person or I will put you in jail 20 years.

Josean, "they" being?

"To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction"

Newton

Roy I was trying to point out that your Fascist Prescription of: "Time to 'sacrifice' a few of these destructive idiots and the rest will scatter!" could backfire; An Eye for an Eyen leaves everybody Blind!

ChicharronyPresidente,


Was the American Revolution one of these:

"Revolutions are nothing more than the gathering of another group of thugs, thieves and delinquents with the excuse of helping the poor in order to steal and take everybody Else's money and property away." ???

I didn't read anywhere of the protestors' vehicles being torched. It was you who said destroying a few trees was justified for the (non-existent) many. You obviously didn't see the video showing the thousands of trees Barrick is planting. Perhaps you should be quoting Newton to the protestors?

What happened to the last of batch protestors that were invited to inspect the site - didn't find anything to report, or didn't bother to look?

Roy,

Honestly do you work or own stock in Barrick or both?

Josean: No it was not. The American Revolution was in itself a war of Independence not the Revolution people in this blog speak about. It was unique like the people that signed the Declaration of Independence and those that fought and died. Can't you tell? Look round you. Don't compare the American Revolution with any other Commie Revolution. They are not the same. When people here talk about Revolutions they refer to Revolutions like in Cuba and other Latin American countries, those are the ones where one group of smart opportunist, thugs and thieves replace dumb ones.

.Absolutely, ChicharronyPresidente,
or to summarize,
"The peasants are revolting"

Neither, Josean,
I am a Secular Humanist and an environmentalist. Hence my opposition to these thugs. If you are wondering, here's a definition:

"The philosophy or life stance secular humanism (alternatively known by some adherents as Humanism, specifically with a capital H to distinguish it from other forms of humanism) embraces human reason, ethics, social justice, philosophical naturalism, while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience or superstition as the basis of morality and decision-making."

"It posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or a god. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently evil or innately good, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. Rather, the humanist life stance emphasizes the unique responsibility facing humanity and the ethical consequences of human decisions. Fundamental to the concept of secular humanism is the strongly held viewpoint that ideology—be it religious or political—must be thoroughly examined by each individual and not simply accepted or rejected on faith. Along with this, an essential part of secular humanism is a continually adapting search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy. Many Humanists derive their moral codes from a philosophy of utilitarianism, ethical naturalism or evolutionary ethics, and some advocate a science of morality."

Roy,


I don't doubt you a Secular Humanist, but your relationship to Barrick is still somewhat of a mystery!

Sort of a “Riddle rapped in an Enigma” as Ole Winston would say!

No mystery, Josean. This project is good for the environment and good for humanity. Unfortunately the local feral peasants are too short-sited and uneducated to realize it. However I won't accept the same excuse from you. Perhaps leaning so far into the "red" that when you look into the blue yonder, all you can see is purple?

Not clear how a mine is good for the environment. But any how; Are the peasants revolting? Or are they being spurred on by other interested parties? The latter is more accurate, this is a plan to destabilize the mining company. Soon Barrick will get tired leave or loose money sell out and some other opportunistic parasite will take over. Let's wait and see.

President Pork Grinds,

You are the one who said "Revolutions “are nothing more than the gathering of another group of thugs, thieves and delinquents with the excuse of helping the poor in order to steal and take everybody Else's money and property away." ???

Plural REVOLUTION"S" meaning ALL!

Now that I caught you generalizing you want to qualify your statement! We all have that view of the American Revolution because we are Monday Morning quarter backing 200 years plus are the event. I suspect that British Monarchy had the same un-benevolent view of those YANKEE Thugs, Thieves and Delinquents and they were trying to take away their Colonial Possessions.

rev•o•lu•tion/?rev?'lo?oSH?n/

Noun: 1. A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system.



Continued:

Revolutions are not exclusive events related to national liberation as was the American Revolution they take on many forms. They are also not ideological per say although they could be. Remember before Marx was twinkle in his father’s eye the world had Revolutions.

• Begining in c. 2380 BC A popular revolt in the Sumerian city of Lagash deposes King Lugalanda and puts the reformer Urukagina on the throne.

• To the most current 2012 Tuareg rebellion

See the incomplete list at:

wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revolutions_and_rebellions

However, it appears to me that you have a narrow view or definition of revolutions as being events led by “Commie Thugs!

Would you then condemn Lech Walesa and the Revolution he led via the Solidarity Movement in Poland?

Would you then condemn Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Revolution against British Colonialism in India?

Would you then condemn Boris Yeltsin Revolution against the Soviet State?


continued:

Yes it was in plural because the revolutionS some members of this blog speak about are Marxist revolutions not the American one.

My point is simply that each society at any given moment in history has the right to ask for A REDRESS OF THE GRIEVANCES FROM THEIR RULERS, we would always hope the resolution would be non-violent, but sometimes as history has shown us many, many, times over that is not always possible.

Please, don't cloud the issue with your demagoguery. You sound like Leonel Fernandez. The fact is that when people in this blog speak about revolutions they mean the Marxist ones These people are usually those that have a picture of Che Guevara in their house, live in Navarrete and have "respect" for Fidel Castro and all that ignorant mentality. You know it well so stop pretending and trying to misdirect the issue. Is not going to work. I already went through that. Marxist revolutions have never made poor people rich. Well pardon me for another generalization, except Fidel Castro and his entire family, Chavez and his entire family, Daniel Ortega and his entire family and so on.

President Pork Grinds,

"The fact is that when people in this blog speak about revolutions they mean the Marxist ones"

Take that issue up with "those that have a picture of Che Guevara in their house, live in Navarrete and have "respect" for Fidel Castro and all that ignorant mentality."

Not with me!

You appear to be a paranoid Cuban or a supporter who defends the right of the Cuban People to Protest Havana ( which I do also) for A REDRESS OF THE GRIEVANCES FROM THEIR RULERS, but nowhere else.

¡Te Conozco Bacalao Aunque Vengas Disfrazó!

After 51 years of Communism in Cuba? Paranoid! really? Don't Cuban have the right to protest Habana? They can't do it in Habana! If anybody is wearing a disguise is you. You live in the United States and defend and support Fidel or at least agree with the Marxist theories. Is this your man? "Existen versiones diversas sobre su inicio en la política. Una de ellas lo describe como un activo militante de la Juventud Peronista, rama de izquierda del peronismo, durante los años 70" 2- ..."acusó a Moreno en 2006 de haberle solicitado los nombres de los comercios encuestados en el cálculo del índice de precios al minorista, a lo que ella rehusó aduciendo que se lo prohibía la Ley de Secreto Estadístico.6 El 29 de enero de 2007 dicha directora fue desplazada y en su lugar asumió Beatriz Paglieri, que según el diario La Nación, tiene afinidad con Moreno.7 Actualmente, la oposición acusa a Moreno de supervisar los datos que son usados como fuente para elaborar las estadísticas del INDEC.8

President Pork Grinds what the hell are you talking about!
