Dominican architecture reflects the extensive fear of crime in this country.

The situation is getting worse. The crime has become a cancer on the society and there is no facility to fight it. The government is not fulfilling its obligation to protect the people and the people have given up on making demands on a government that is infected with this cancer through and through. Thus, the wounded society festers and the cancer grows. The politicians can promise a cure all they want. If and when a miracle treatment does arrive the gov't will have to be first in line to get the benefit.

I say, put the whole PLD on a plane to Europe with a half a tank of fuel

RobertoJose

It is not just the PLD, it is the government as a whole that needs house cleaning. They, the politicians, all come from the same school.and to single one party out over the others to be sent to the woodshed just leaves the others to continue the mayhem and the public to suffer their indifference

Vote for the PLD so you can have more of the Same; Only Worse!

Few jobs?, I bet can go to DR now and get a job pretty fast you just need to know some English and you're set.

really? doing what? working for 75 pesos an hour in a call center? since you are so sure of this, why don't you come to the DR, and get a job, pretty fast, as an employment counsellor?

Oh , don't worry....The PRD would have the same fate if all of this is kept as is...

the purple people eaters are to busy buillding metros and un needed cruise docks in puerto plata worth millions.don't worry in 4 more years will have more things and more crime and lest jobs.4 more years of the same s----- even worse if danilito wins.god help us.

crime is a worry and as has been the case for years so is the search for a job ,,but youth employment has grown here ,,the biggest problem we have here is that Dominican labour is not very mobile and so most families stay in the same geographical area , where as the Haitians are very mobile and have taken many new jobs in the developing areas of Punta Cana Bavaro and Samana and NE Santo Domingo

Here is that spin by ricardolito the purple tail wagger.

"Dominican labour is not very mobile"


Then why do we have so many Slums in "Cuidad Fernandez?"

You are so full of PURPLE CACA!

Not spin ...it is completely factual ..and if you wanted to , you could see it with your own eyes by visiting the areas I mentioned ..Labour must be mobile to take advantage of investment in different areas even if it is far from the family home

Joseann ,,,that is a different subject ,,and we as a country need to look after these poor souls in a generous manner .

Every Dominican that I talked to about this accepts crime, violence, crooked businesses, thieving police, and an entirely corrupt government as the norm. They are currently right on par with the American populace. I can't see any solution, since any political party will just move into the same easy self-profiting pit.

Twelve reasons to vote against the DICTATORSHIP


(4) We have more public officials than necessary: 200 agencies that duplicate functions; some 300 Generals; another 300 Ministers and Deputy Ministers; an excess of diplomats; one of the most expensive congresses in the world, and "secret payrolls" for those who aren’t appointed to a job.

"where as the Haitians are very mobile and have taken many new jobs in the developing areas of Punta Cana Bavaro and Samana and NE Santo Domingo" Ricardolito


Ricardolito, I beg to differ with you. This is not a scientific response but it is my opinion the Haitians have taken many new jobs because the Dominicans do not want to do them. I live in one of the areas you mention and have offered minor construction and/or household jobs to both Dominican and Haitian residents near me. Most often the Haitians are the ones who will accept the offer, while the Dominicans will provide some long story, though they are looking for work, ie; they cannot commit to me because they have an offer for a long term job and are waiting for the call to report.

Thats funny because there is high unemployment and high crime in the united states . More high unemloyment in the main consern here , not only that but high gas prices also , The gas prices are so high ; there haven't been a drive in months in compton

zooma I was a little nervous to say that for fear of being labelled anti Dominican ,,but I have found the same thing

Dominicans are predominantly the decedents of African slaves and Spanish colonialists, and Haitians are predominantly the decedents of African slaves and French colonists. Yet Dominicans seem to consider Haitians decedents of slaves, and and only fit for manual labor, whereas themselves decedents of European nobility, born for management positions only.

RoyStone.. You are VERY wrong..

Dominicans are decendents of spaniards, native americans, and african slaves
Haitians are decendents of african slaves, no mix.

Because of that we keep different traditions, culture , food ,religion , values, music, etc.
Two VERY different people on the same island

So who is Native American, Lie-onel or Felix Bautista because they look real Kinta Kunte to me!

No Josie Hiede vivo.. ..
In the way that you think... , You must be kunta kinte yourself !

We don't know, but suspect, Joseanne may be a Haitian, bent on a campaign to sabotage all things Dominican!....Claims to be one of us, yet won't show us a photo, or even want to pronounce the word "perejil"... Wouldn't you let us see what you look like, dearie!?

The PLD Mafia and Nacro Lie-onel only respresent "all things Dominican" in your Purple Mind!

Ron,
Josean's profile says he's not in the Dominican republic and he is critical of Dominican politics. Yes, he must be Haitian, just like me.

"Mayor of Oviedo Shot"

"He remains in intensive care in the hospital Ney Arias Lora "

Written by: TEOFILO BONILLA and DIOGENES TEJEDA

Two strangers this morning wounded the Mayor of Oviedo, Marcos Féliz with two shots, during an attempted robbery in the sector of Las Frutas of Los Mina, in East Santo Domingo, when returning with a daughter and his sister after taking a relative to the international airport of Las Americas.

Like Dr. Dunker says in his:

"Twelve Reasons to Vote Against the DICTATORSHIP"


(9) The violence has multiplied. Our homes are prisons and offenders dominate the streets. Everybody is afraid, except the criminals. The school teachers are threatened by the students, and women are victims of their husbands. Such violence is the daughter of the disorder. Because we do not respect the rules is that we have so much violence.

"Josean's profile says he's not in the Dominican republic and he is critical of Dominican politics. Yes, he must be Haitian, just like me"

That's right, he's not! And not just "Dominican politics" that this one's critical about. It's about ALL things Dominican! No matter how great the news, it's always a "purple, clapping seals" and a "Lie-onel" ploy to steal money and the elections! Or negative crap to diminish all the good things happening in my DR!
The cretin has got me sick with his moronic postings about "choo-choo train" shit, and the constant rhetoric about education.The guy's one-dimentional and unawared of reality, doesn't have vision of what things could be, and totally incapable of rational and/or logical exchanges.
I can only conclude that this burro is a frustrated, hating, foreigner with an agenda to screw things up for us, Dominicans... I will pray to Our Lady of Dementia for his salvation from himself, and my redemption from all insults given..Amen.




.

Bless you too, MY CHILD!

yes i was in puntacana ,,and there is more poverty than last year ,,and crime ,,goes hand in hand ,,no jobs no money people rob turists to feed their families.while in puntacana 2 couples got robbed...and i in 2010 I was robbed in puerto plata....puntacana is expensive almost all condominiums rented monthly dont come with a maid and are owned by people from u.s.a and canada..and in puerto plata almost all condos come with maid ,,therefore creating employment..And they can well afford giving dominicans job because rent is double than in puerto plata and i remember in puerto plata the maids got paid like 6000 - 8000 pesos a month between 170 - 210 us a month to clean a whole condominum 7 days a week and theses people are charging turists like 1000 dollars a month per 1 bedroom per month plus utilities..greedy greedy greedy..there should be a law ...that it be mandatory for condo owners to hire maid

Back to the main topic.. is about crime and unemployment..


So let's show some numbers:

Canasta familiar:
2000 $6,796.-
2004 $11,832.-


Criminality: 1092 Homicide a year to 2,263 a year




When people ask him why so much raise in criminality , Hipo says: " Yo no soy policia, cuidemonos todos"

Inflation at 2004 : 60%

Banco central lost 30% of it's reservas..

tasa de desempleo : 13.39% to 19.7% ( a record in dominican history)


Pobres: 27% to 43.1 %
Indigentes: 8% to 15.3%



We such reaction, where should we go?

the problem is eveything goes up except the pay.the government had 8 years to provide a descent minium wage law here and they never did.and as for mobil employment why didn't they put the ikea in a place like la vega or nagua,or san juan.bring the jobs to the people .answer me that mr ohhvictor and the other purple people eaters.don't have to put everything in the capital.spread the componys around the country.u can make that deal even before they come here to bring business.

@jojosnogood

An Ikea in Nagua?That's your vision of prosperity?
I wouldnt even put it in Santiago!
Are you nuts?


What a bunch of c** p

jojo; Do you propose some sort of socialist control of business placement? Maybe that's not completely accurate on my part, but are you talking about forcing ikea to open a store in San Juan? And who's going to subsidize this, the pennyless tax payers? Are you by any chance a member of the American Republican party?

ohhvictor and other loyal pldistas( people purple eaters)got a question for you thats killing me.most people in dr, like in nyc don't have cars.i know u love ur metro but don't u believe there should be a train between the major cities in dr(capitol and santiago) and moreover a train system that goes from north to south ,east to west which can carry products,and people.other question is if u agree ,don't u think it would have been cost effective to build that kind of train system first that carries transports millions of people and that the whole country could use instead of a simple train system in the capitol for 400,000 people that millones won''t.?most the jobs are in santo domingo right.how u expect people to get there fast and efficently?50 min ride from santiago to dr in train,2-3 on bus.u do the math buddy.un pais pero para todos,todos,todos,hipoliito slogan"a better country ,but for everyone.not just one sector.
