Deelt,
As the discussion unfolds it seems like the radical suggestions by a few are not supported by many DR1 members here (the faith has been restored) and your statement of unaccountability emphasizes my point that people speak without being aware of what they are really saying. I did wonder though if those who are in favor of genocide would feel the same if Dominicans who risk there lives in their rickety "yolas" to reach Puerto Rico for a so-called better life were shot immediately by the coast guards. Is this not the same scenario especially from the view point of Puerto Ricans who feel Dominicans are invading their island. Once again I like your proverb at the end but the Spanish version in my opinion has more impact: uno puede ver la paja en el ojo del vecino y no la viga en su propio.
Always a pleasure Deelt.

What is more funny to me is that not only does Nals not know about Haitains with any certainty (i.e well other than the two Haitian ladies he hired a few months ago to work him, if he even spoke to them directly), he also doesn't know much about Dominicans Abroad either! There are over 1.2 million Dominicans in the US and he is categorizing everyone based on the actions of 100,000 Dominicans living is Washington Heights (8% of the Dominican population in the US).
Finding Haitians as scapegoats and falsely proclaming their free education in DR etc, are such a cop out. It truly is a pity. But I guess ignorance is bliss.
Here is a statement with no accountability: Some of these discussion on Haitains is like me saying that going to DR is like landing on a field of prostitutes, male hustlers, cuernos/cuernas, and disease men/women who make children irresponsibly and do not support them. These are a people of no moral value that have an open acceptance to destroy the fabric of family. While this is an extreme, this is much of what a tourist may see when they go there. More than 70% of the Dominican population see and live this in some way. Is it not the Dominican reality? I am sure no one wants to hear about Dominicans taking responsibility for Dominican behaviors within their control.
