Ok, you want it, here it goes.
It's my OPINION that this site is, perhaps, the BEST DR site on the whole web (numbers don't lie).
But, let me tell you, there are SOME characters here, ay papa', para que te digo!!.
When I came back from my little "hiatus", when I logged in, I couldn't believe what I was reading. It thought to myself, "what's the F, when did DR1 bacame AntiDR.com". It seemed that MANY threads were started just to discredit the Dominican Republic and it's people.
A Dominican farted, a thread was started. A Dominican robbed someone, a thread was started. When a member had a bad experience ANYWHERE in the DR, a thread was started.
I mean, what's a newbie to think then they read such garbage. SOME of these people, rather than look for a solution to a problem, "le tiran gasolina al fuego". I am not a Saint and I, at one time or another, have been guilty of such also.
On the same token, there are a BUNCH of members that you can see, by reading their posts, that they TRULY care about the DR and it's people!. Their love for the "patria", even if not their "patria", is demonstrated in their posts.
Those members are the one who post something like this: "yes, there are hookers in Sosua, but the whole town is NOT like that, how dare you say all women in Sosua are hookers, you prick!".
Those same members DO NOT try to "cover the sun with one finger". They praise the DR but at the same time are NOT blinded by the fact that the DR is NOT all fun, beaches, Presidentes, easy women and a 24/7 "Party Paradise".
Not to make "The Rock" Sosua's next President, but I am yet to see/read a post where the man doesn't come to Sosua's defense when someone says/posts something negative about Sosua. Because the man is objective is the reason I enjoy reading his posts so much! (Schit, now I am doing a "Rick Snyder", lol).
I just don't see the point, AFTER making the DR your home, why look for every single negative thing about the country and then make a thread about it. It's not like the things that happens in the DR doesn't happen anywhere else!.
Don't get me wrong, there are negative things about the DR that should be told (and to be honest, it bothers me less if told my a Dominican, yes, even if the non-Dominican have lived there 100 years!.), of course, BUT ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, come on!.
And when they generalize, a mi madre, NI SE DIGA!!. SOME of these people don't know how to write "SOME", "NOT ALL", "A LOT", "A FEW", "MOST", "MANY", etc, even if their lives depended on it!!.
Hey NALs, are you sorry now, for asking for my opinion?.
Well, you know what they say about opinions.......
BTW, ALL of you:
The above is MY OPINION. It's NOT to be debated. Post yours without quoting my post, unless you are ready and can take more of mine, gracias!.
If you are NOT a "BigBoysAndGirls" club member, DON'T BOTHER!, hehehe.
