They don't realize that in order to "FIX" a problem,you FIRST have to recognize that you have a problem!

Newspapermen have a "Saying", "If It BLEEDS,It LEADS"!!!
Same goes for DR1! Haw many people would log on to DR1 to read posts about the "Flower Show" at the "Jardine Botanico"????
Dr1 is boring enough,(Ever read the "SAME" never ending posts on "Mars "Penis"????)
As far as "DOMINICANS" on DR1 are concerned in regards to Negative Posts, "The Emperor Has NO CLOTHES"!!!!!!!!!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCC

I am in BOSTON,Why is EVERYTHING so Clean here???????
That my "Dominicanismo" is showing, you say, well I guess you missed a few of my posts, out of the "Mars, Penis" forum, as you call it.

It's pretty simple, if I am moving to a country and all I am going to do is complain about said country and be miserable, then why move there?.

Or as DR1 member, ZEUS, so diplomatically says:

Whomever don't like the country, GET THE F*** OUT!. As simple as ABC.

MizCreant is on a distinguished road
Default Warts and all,

is how I appreciate DR1. As a newbie preparing for my first trip to the DR last January, I read and read. Yes, some info was scary. If anyone has traveled outside their home country boundaries, then they should know how to extrapolate the appropriate information. The forum information was invaluable to me and accurate to boot. As you see, I'm still reading and still learning in prep for next January's trip. Cautious at first yes, but ready to lock and load that suitcase.

Nals, it is almost impossible for anyone who has been here any length of time to vote in the poll. Because no "few threads" will carry any weight . And those who are new may have only read specific forums......

I think that opinions can be formed based on what people read on this forum, but it really needs to be more than a few threads.

There is a good balance here though.....you can pull way more information from these pages than the standard sterilized news you read in the various DR papaers.

Id say that i would vote for very pessimistic. I cant even think of ignoring all the issues even if i am laying on some fantastic beach with my GF....I have to GET back to her house somehow.....and therein lies just the beginning of the issues. Safety, gas, road conditions, civil unrest, lose domestic animals ect ect. doesnt look to improve soon...even if it is 85 degrees with a great breeze and we have a cooler full of cold drinks and my woman has that look in her eyes, that she wants to try and break me in two again...

it is entirely possible to criticize DR and yet live here. it's just common sense speaking when gringos whine about this place....
should i see dr1.come BEFORE i came here i would not have come. i would miss on being with minovio and meeting a bunch of good people.
yes, the view of DR on dr1.com is pessimistic, i think, but one has to LIVE here to see that some things are in fact better then described (and some things are worse).
i am still not entirely happy in here but i do not tear my hair out in despair that i came here....

Which threads?
Could this poll be any more ambiguous?
Are we talking about the economy, crime/safety, chicas, sankies, putas, livestock, baseball players, hotels, ............?
