You want to hear about chutzpah? You want to hear about sheer gravity-defying audacity? Well, ladies and gentlemen, comrades and friends, prepare to catch your lower jaw.

I have so much to say but I am so angry.

People that go 'why is tourism bad?' make me want to shank them. The problem isn't tourism, motherfuckers, the problem is FOREIGNERS owning absofuckinglutely EVERYTHING that is relatively decent/worth owning and ignoring the rest of the country - and let's face it this is what happens! The Dominican Republic is a fucking perfect example of this shit!

Maybe because it is my island and I don't want the fucking gringos NOWHERE NEAR DR I am almost screaming right now after reading this.

And "the ongoing efforts of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to destabilize the island of Hispaniola" - bahaha.

I don't really blame them for thinking like that, I know Dominicans living in DR who think stuff like that (and worse) my problem is that if you are able to read, and someone presents to you this article (or any other article) you should take in a bit/analyse what you believe in.

It's also very 'are you serious?' that they think we want to be cynical.

Yeah, this is seriously disgusting.
And everyone who thinks US attitudes toward Latin America are different now because of *~*Obama*~* are sadly fucking mistaken.
