Most of the Dominicans in the US ARE LEGAL OR ENTERED LEGALLY.

You're full of shit you dumb stupid haitian CUNT . YES we have poverty, crimes and corruption mainly because our politicians are pathetic just like most haitians are>> PATHETIC. Second: Just because our country has issue and people migrate out of it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be proud of DR. We're all not very but super proud of DR. unlike you mud eaters . You disrespect your own pathetic people and complain about the never ending issues in Haiti (all the time) but ever do shit for your own shit country.

I don't need to visit LA punta i being all through my country, poverty or not I love every single thing about DR, most importantly my people how friendly welcoming and kind they are.
DR is not all about hotels, beaches I could care less. GTFO mud eater you'll never win over here.
From: United States, Vivir sin Patria, es lo mismo que vivir sin Honor.
What we have to understand first is that most Haitians hate DR with a passion because it represents defeat to them as they lost control of almost the entire island during the wars of the mid 1800s. We move forward every day that passes by and they move backwards. Yes DR has many problems, but there is no denying that advancements have been constant through the last 150 years. We are not a rich country but I go there twice a year or more and every time I get of that plane there is a feeling that I cannot describe, been home where my roots are.
Don’t hate, in this world the strongest and most determined thrive; you do the math brothers…
From: United States
Most of the cons being spammed across topics by haters on this website simply regard what EVERY country is going through. Is it a surprise that there is prostitution, crime, and corruption in DR? Just as there is in every country.
I have NO CLUE what terrible experience the haters on this website went through with Dominicans but DAMN don't take it down on everyone else who has any regards with Dominicans in General.
I've visited this website for about almost two years and have always seem to have stumbled upon posts from the same typical people stating negative things.
Well whatever the reason is, and whatever jealousy or hate comes to throw at the DR, it just basically means the DR is doing something right.

About the nice beach houses who said we weren't allowed to buy them? , offcourse we are, but you don't see a lot of Dominicans buying them because not many of us can't afford expensive houses.

as i said, Aventura is a mediocrity. no self respecting vocalist records with autotune. there are songs which will live forever, and never get old. Take Five, by Dave Brubeck. Hard Days Night, by the Beatles. Honky Tonk Woman, by the Rolling Stones. if you hear them 50 years down the road, they are still great. Bob Marley has songs like those. Buffalo Soldier, and No Woman No Cry. Jimmy Cliff has Many Rivers to Cross. name me one song by Aventura that anyone will remember 30 years after they disband.

Stop criticizing Anthony's voice,if you ask any singing teacher (which you're not),he (she) will tell you that Anthony has a better voice than marley.
You don't need to be a good singer to sing reggae and you know it.
All you need is to be born with vocal cords.
From: United States
i may not be a music teacher, but i guarantee that i know more about music than you do. your hearing has been ruined by listening to music reproduced by the locally made stereo speakers in the DR. if somebody there actually knew how to make a speaker, instead of primitive squawk boxes, maybe you would know what you are listening to. if this guy´s voice was so good, he would not use vocorders, and autotune. as i said before, 30 years after his death, Marley is still selling huge numbers. 30 years from today, Aventura will be a trivia question.
From: United States
let me put it this way, tunbagobierno. when the history of world heavyweight boxing is written, names like Marciano, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, and Muhammad Ali will always be the standouts. guys like Pinklon Thomas will always be an afterthought. get the picture? some are great, while some are mediocre, at best.

But I think we could agree on one thing and it is that Juan Luis Guerra and Aventura have earned the right to TAKE A DUMP AND PISS ON BOB MARLEY'S TOMB
as i said, Juan Luis Guerra is a guy whose music i like. i have several of his recordings. on the other hand, Aventura is elevator music. any music school kids can do just as well. by the way, can any of them actually PLAY an instrument? there are songs which, the moment you hear them, you know that they are great. you have to know the title, and who performed it. i have never heard anything by Aventura that i care to hear a second time. on the other hand, i had to find out who sang ¨yo no tengo amigo, yo tengo socio¨.as you know, it is by El Sujeto. i love it. i bought it.
as to the issue of relieving your bowels and bladder on Marley´s tomb...that would be normal for you. you do it everywhere else. part of your lack of upbringing, and no exposure to flush toilets before your days in Rikers.
From: United States
Blutarsky reminds
.Defecating on tombs is reserved for tyrants final resting places........like Castro for example .... either or..lol
or, for savages who do their bodily functions wherever the urge strikes them. guys like tunbagobierno, who has probably been arrested a dozen times in the States for urinating in the subway, and relieving his bowels in alleyways in his ghetto.
From: United States
of course, Blutarsky. this ape can make remarks about defecating on the tomb of a national hero of my country, but i am the one with the cheap shots. so much for your brand of fairness.
From: United States
Master dreadlocks I promise not to urinate or defecate in public ever again,since you say that it is inappropriate and illegal to do so,your advise is not to be ignored.
I never cared about getting arrested and being sent to Rikers...Now I do.
Did you know that my first contact with the enlightened beings of Jamaica happened at Rikers?
But I was too blind to see what they were about.
The urge to relieve myself in public was oh-so overwhelmingly strong...!!! It was like a drug to me!
But,listening to you and following your teachings has finally made me realized that my soiling ways weren't the answers.
This humble cave dweller will always be indebted to you and your people.
And please,what is this TOILET THING you spoke about?..Please...tell me more!!!
From: United States
tunbagobierno, fear not. i feel pity for you. Bob Marley happens to be considered a national hero in Jamaica. since it escaped your attention, let me bring you up to speed about civilised behavior in the world outside your cave. people do not take liberties with certain issues. i would never contemplate speaking about defiling the resting place of people such as Duarte, Sanchez, Mella, and others. that is crossing the line of digified behavior. certain things are outside the limits of decent conduct, but i will let you slide, since it is evident that you are not a guy of really sterling qualities, and your upbringing is a matter of question.

EDITOR,
This site needs a better screening process, there are people here who post comments not related at all to the topic at hand, often I read comments that are intended as insults or as a way of degrading anything Dominican. I know this site is intended for the general public, but there has to be some form of control, you need to keep an eye on these comments.
From: United States
You're gonna let it slide?.....I'm shaking in my cave!!
From: United States
i am done with it. let me just leave an object lesson for you, since you appear to be a younger head. firstly, when you disagree with something someone said, you do not enter into the debate with an insult as your first gambit. that gets things off on the wrong foot. music ia a matter of taste, and culture. nobody can PROVE which is better. secondly, there are certain lines you do not cross. disrespecting the national heroes of ANY country is out of bounds. i hope you gathered something useful from our exchange.

You asked for it,once you decided to butt your way into a debate between kiskeyaman and I.
No one asked for your opinion and yet in an pompous and arrogant manner tried to minimize the magnitude of Merengue and bachata,(crossing the line ),using salsa as an excuse to then throw in your reggae music as the greatest musical accomplishment of all time!
"Usted no tenía vela en ese entierro" ,así que tú eres demasiado fresco y metiche and that's the only thing I've learned from this.
You need to work on your approach.
From: United States
let me try to educate you, tunbagobierno, since it appears that you are a newcomer to civilisation and its artifacts. there are no private discussions in a blog. if you want to communicate privately, that is done through personal messages. you attempted to demean the importance of someone else´s music, and all i did was to try to remind you that merengue and bachata are not exactly lighting the world on fire, despite the fact that you might think so. the fact that i responded to you so many times is to my eternal discredit, because anyone who would seek to compare Bob Marley with Aventura is not worthy of being noticed. now go back to your barrio, and start some fights with strangers. you bore me.

Most of the Dominicans in the US ARE LEGAL OR ENTERED LEGALLY.
More than 95% of haitians in the DR ARE ILLEGALS OR ENTERED ILLEGALLY ...
...And for the record,I'm being CONSERVATIVE ABOUT THE 95%,it should be higher than that!
Just find out how many US Visas are issued annually in the DR.
You own a chair?????!
Not only do we have AntiDominicans/Haters coming on a DOMINICAN website but we have them CREATING accounts to degrade the DR any way they can.
Like they say, in order to succeed you need haters, and to get haters you have to succeed LOL
You're full of shit you dumb stupid haitian CUNT . YES we have poverty, crimes and corruption mainly because our politicians are pathetic just like most haitians are>> PATHETIC. Second: Just because our country has issue and people migrate out of it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be proud of DR. We're all not very but super proud of DR. unlike you mud eaters . You disrespect your own pathetic people and complain about the never ending issues in Haiti (all the time) but ever do shit for your own shit country.
yeah you sure visited DR my ass :b
I don't need to visit LA punta i being all through my country, poverty or not I love every single thing about DR, most importantly my people how friendly welcoming and kind they are.
DR is not all about hotels, beaches I could care less. GTFO mud eater you'll never win over here.
Don’t hate, in this world the strongest and most determined thrive; you do the math brothers…
I have NO CLUE what terrible experience the haters on this website went through with Dominicans but DAMN don't take it down on everyone else who has any regards with Dominicans in General.
I've visited this website for about almost two years and have always seem to have stumbled upon posts from the same typical people stating negative things.
Well whatever the reason is, and whatever jealousy or hate comes to throw at the DR, it just basically means the DR is doing something right.
Offcoruse not, haitians don't give a F**** about their shit country, and unlike the jealous haitian trolls who come here and I'm not making it up I seen itpersonally myself how they only care about themselves not their people, and everyone else knows that as well. They could care less even about their own independence day.
Do you really think a give a damn about what you both have to say about my country??? Absolutely not . All of your statements are complete bullshit, they have no reliable source just a pile of made up horse shit. If you really came to DR before you wouldn't be talking all the shit you both mentioned .
The main reason on why you both come here is because you hate the fact that we're better then you, smarter and have a stronger will to make DR a better country.
Now go back to HaitianXchange and get over it, coming here and hating us wont work buddy = )
It will be the truth if your government don't eat the money you make. Let me tell you, your country don't take any control. DR is not for DOMINICAn. iT's time to understand the work doing in dr is for have tourist. a lot of beautiful house is sell for the foreign, not the dominicans. You live in USA and you don't see the real true.
Yes we all know our government is corrupt, but at least we want that to change and some of us do our best for our country. About the nice beach houses who said we weren't allowed to buy them? , offcourse we are, but you don't see a lot of Dominicans buying them because not many of us can't afford expensive houses.
I have families members who where fortunate with money and do have beach properties ( and they are not politicians, just business men and others obtained a good degree) .
Dominican performers to attend festival in New Jersey
that´s funny. i saw no mention being made of a festival in any of the entries. so much for staying on topic.

ZonaApache: >>HAITIANS HATE US WITH A PASSION BUT ASK US IF WE CARE, NOP. AND I WONT WASTE MY TIME ARGUING WITH ANY OF THEM, NO SIR.
Exactly. We don't care if Haitians hate us at all.
Ateo2010 I quote you: ( and they are not politicians, just business men and others obtained a good degree) .
Sorry, I am just curious to what kind of business or degree, because I would very much like a beachhouse myself.
very trivial question, but ok.
What I meant in other words is that family members I have (regular successful Dominicans with degrees like lawyers, marketers, IT example, that aren't affiliated with any politicians) have homes in the places KISKEYAMAN claims we can't purchase properties, that's all . .
You hate my english?
Tell me why you told my english is horrible?
I work for improve it. Can you told me the problem with my english?
I make a lot of effort to write better. Since 4 month i learn english, you live in USA. But i speak well.
Let me tell you, a lot of beautiful house is sell to te foreign but it's very sad.
A LOT OF CRAZY DOMINICAN are HERE.
AHAHHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE FUNNY, when a Haitian told something here you are anger.
It's definitively a site full of idiot dominicans.
even those who live in usa are not very open mind, they are most blind. the case is lost.
look at their reactions, i just ask how many dominican live outside?

'I doubt he sells houses to foreigners with the horrible English, let alone he's dumb haitian he couldn't even sell his own homemade mud cookies .'
Stay calm, respect yourself, why you want to critic haiti?
THE HAITIAN are right, it's a matter of education.
You have to respect Haiti, I work hard to denounce your hatred about haiti across the world.
Alot of Haitian people that I know listen and love Bachata. They might be at this event lol
LET ME TELL YOU, the kompa is the one of best music in this area. Your government know that. it's for that thei forbidden your contrymen to hear this music.
You are very close mind. We are very open, we hear all music even your crap bay chatte la mdr.
AHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAAHAHA
It's really XWILL you and your countrymen told a lot of caca, it's for that i call you king of caca.
I like a lot the language spanish. A lot of HAITIANS BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN THIS LANGUAGE. WE LIKE THIS LANGUAGE THANKS TO CUBA ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY NOT ONLY IT IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, when they knows i am haitian, they give me a great smile like the cubans when i come to cuba. I love more VENEZUELA is one of the few countries that haiti thank them for helping to take their independence from Spain. They remember their avonds we gave money and men to fight against the Spanish. Exactly the same thing we've made for idiots Dominicans, but this is how they repay us with their hatred.
'Why so many talk so much caca, when deep down you all really want to be like Dominicans?'
If you are so proud to be DOMINICANS why you are in USA? WHY YOU TRY TO TAKE OR HAVE THE NATIONALITY OF USA.
You have better odds to lost your country whe you stay in a foreign country.

How many awards has kompa ever been awarded?

Take your DIALECT (creole) for example,that's the only fusion you've made.
Is heavily influenced by the french language and........surprise...!!! SPANISH LANGUAGE AS WELL!!
We DO embrace our African roots!
The fact of the matter is WE were on the island of KISKEYA 200 years before the french decided to set foot on the western side of the island.....And then decided to bring your black asses over,and yet YOU claim that we stole everything from you...PLEASE!
For your information...my ignoramus friend DOMINICAN IS NOT A RACE,BUT A NATIONALITY,you dummy!!
Your people and dialect HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND,OK?
On the other hand ,WE DO!!!
Your hate is PATHETIC, "PITí ""
Unlike you "pitíes" WE,LATINOS do not need translators to communicate amongst each other!
The truth is.....YOU DON'T BELONG AND ARE desperately trying to question everything that has to do with us!
You're just sad humans beings looking FOR OUR APPROVAL....BUT.....WE JUST DON'T CARE,plain and simple.

the haitians speaks creole and french and now a lot of young haitian speaks spanish, english and german.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF IDENTITY PROBLEM IN DR. you think you're white, whites and Latinos do not care, do not care about you.
for white you are black even if you have the color clear to some of you.

actually, outside of the respective countries, nobody gives a rat´s ass about either music. the only people who care about Haitian music are the Haitian expats in , say, France and New York. the same goes for bachata, and merengue. apart from the Dominican community in the dispora, there is no following for those styles. it is not as if they were salsa, or reggae.

And by the way,reggae died when Bob Marley died!
When was the last time you won anything!!!!
when was the last time we won anything? in what sport, or pursuit? try the olympics. fool. besides, reggae spawned more artists than merengue and bachata ever will. forget Bob. lets look look at others. a list of great artists who have made reggae hits
the beatles
the police
sting
david bowie
ub40
english beat
u2
i would give you a list of jazz performers who have made big hits, but i know that a primitive like you has probably never heard of jazz. what you need to do is to google reggae soundclash, and see all the reggae competitions all over Europe, Japan , and Australia. besides, ALL the reggaeton influences are copied from reggae.

Jah Shaka events are renowned for attracting a wide audience from all backgrounds, races and ages. His dances attract numbers previously thought unthinkable for this genre of music. Shaka believes it to be a testament to the quality of the message that he expounds in his choice of music and his Rastafarian beliefs. His followers are known to be vocally ardent, and have developed dance steps that resemble African war dances.
you need to educate yourself before sounding off, making an even bigger fool of yourself
When was the last time those bands even bothered to play reggae? IT WAS JUST PHASE....AND
REGGAE IS DEAD...
Brazilian reggae bands?....only you would know about some shit*y reggae band in Brazil !!!! HA,HA,HA,HA...!
JAZZ?
DOMINICAN MICHAEL CAMILO.
Suelta ese BLUNT MUCHACHO..!!!!!
Educate yourself :

Not even you listen to reggae anymore.......Reggae sucks!
Not even you listen to reggae anymore.......Reggae sucks!
just the royalties from the sale of Bob Marley records exceeds the entire revenue stream of all bachata and merengue artists, put together. as i said, a primate like you does not even have a clue about something like jazz. you went to google to look up Dominican jazz players, and ran across the name of the pianist Michel Camilo. i know this, because you cannot even spell his name right. maybe you can´t even spell your own name. come to think of it. even if reggae is dead, as you like to think, if i go into a crowded place and say SEAN PAUL, people will ask ¨ where?¨ if i say ANTONY SANTOS, they will ask ¨who?¨.
Once again you've made a fool of yourself....
LEARN HOW TO READ,once you do....READ SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
Latin Music Awards is the name OF THE EVENT WHERE LATIN ARTISTS AND MUSIC IN GENERAL ARE awarded for their achievements,during the present or past year.
Then there's the LATIN BILLBOARD AWARDS.
THE LATIN GRAMMYS.
PREMIO LO NUESTRO.
AND THE GRAMMYS (AMERICAN)
Once again,Merengue and Bachata have won IN ALL OF those events!
WYCLEF DOES NOT SING OR PLAY KOMPA..!
KOMPA HAS WON NOTHIIIIIIIIING....!!!! EVER..!!
Go listen to the Peanut Vendor from 1923 and you will agree that Latin Caribbean music is far more influential
far more influential to YOU, and people like you. it sure is not more influential to me than Bob Marley, or any of the reggae greats. it was a great song, but i much prefer Many Rivers To Cross, by Jimmy Cliff. when tunbagobierno can tell me a Dominican song which is as highly regarded, and performed by as many great artists as that song has been, i will give him credit for something. when reggae bands were using multiple synthesisers, and making major hits, merengue was still being played by guys with an accordion and a grater.
Mick Jagger forms new reggae and Indian-influenced supergroup , with Damian Marley.
you have heard of Mick Jagger, i guess?
He was the one that put reggae on the map,and of course the fact that he was singing in English helped as well.
The fact of the matter is when Bob Marley died he took reggae with him!
Now play some of your "awesome" reggae get on the floor and start humping it!!
BUAAAAHH,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA...!!
Oh......and by the way..........................REGGAE SUUUUUCKSSSS...!!!
Bachata and Merengue-1
Reggae-0
Stop hating and stop living in the past.
You might have heard of Juan Luis Guerra and Aventura,right?
Your music (reggae) has been relegated to FLOOR HUMPING AND LOW RECORD SALES.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...but.....reggae is irrelevant...
If you say so,Dready,then I guess Aventura is a mediocrity.
Now,go ahead and convince the MILLIONS OF FANS,so they can ask for their money back!
You're one pathetic individual,that stopped living in mediocrity the moment you bailed on Jamaica and came to stay in the DR.....for good!!!
You know why is that..??? 'cause your country and music SUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha........
Do you think Juan Luis Guerra wants to be Bob Marley?
Juan Luis Is unique!
Right now,in many parts of the world there are happy people listening and dancing to Juan Luis Guerra's music.
Who's listening to Marley as we speak? A crackhead?
Juan Luis is living a happy and productive life!
Bob is.....WHERE THE HELL IS BOB????????
it is better to haveloved and lost
than never have loved at all
transpose that to reggae, and we can say that it is better to have been a champion on the way down, than the guy who sweeps up the floor in the gym when the real athletes are gone home. yes, we all know that Bob Marley has passed away, but he is still far greater today, than Juan Luis Guerra will ever be. i say that with respect to Guerra, because i do like the guy. bleat on all you like....Marley is still the greatest to ever come out of this part of the world, and will remain so. that cannot change, not even if some primitive like you disagrees. and, Aventura is still a mediocrity. besides, if reggae is dead, why is it that your aspiring reggaeton artists have to copy all their cues from it? can´t they think of anything original?
One of the proudest moments for Merengue music.
No,but seriously,everybody would agree that "la vaca" is a monumental musical piece of fecal matter............Did I just say MUSICAL....???.......Sorry......anyways...I still put it a couple of notches above
whatever your greatest star since Marley's death (Patra) has ever come up with.
He,he,he,he....
Juan Luis Guerra is untouchable,the guy delivers high quality music and smart lyrics,full of social content and romance.At the same time,he promotes a positive life style......none of that smokin' weed and bad hygiene.
And you can't stop Bachata.

Stop criticizing Anthony's voice,if you ask any singing teacher (which you're not),he (she) will tell you that Anthony has a better voice than marley.
You don't need to be a good singer to sing reggae and you know it.
All you need is to be born with vocal cords.

Master Dreadlocks...of course you know everything there is to know about (music,science,history,shoe shinning,booger flicking,etc),I'm just a cave dweller that know nothing about anything.How do you expect me to know about the great Jamaican Civilization and their LEGENDARY CULTURE and how they were able to unlock the hidden secrets of the Universe?
I mean,your brain is so powerful that it emits such powerful waves that are actually being picked up by NASA as we speak.
My peanut brain cannot comprehend the fact that such God given gift like you,takes the time to visit us cave dwellers to share your vast knowledge,without caring about whether we get it or not.....a monument should be built in your honor and placed right in the middle of the runway at Las Americas Airport.
But I think we could agree on one thing and it is that Juan Luis Guerra and Aventura have earned the right to TAKE A DUMP AND PISS ON BOB MARLEY'S TOMB
Now master dreadlocks, if I were you I'd keep an eye on MY TOES.
If you'll excuse me,I gotta go finish the shrine I'm building for you,oh great one.
I don't think Aventura's music can top this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJaWgXUF_A8
But I think we could agree on one thing and it is that Juan Luis Guerra and Aventura have earned the right to TAKE A DUMP AND PISS ON BOB MARLEY'S TOMB
as i said, Juan Luis Guerra is a guy whose music i like. i have several of his recordings. on the other hand, Aventura is elevator music. any music school kids can do just as well. by the way, can any of them actually PLAY an instrument? there are songs which, the moment you hear them, you know that they are great. you have to know the title, and who performed it. i have never heard anything by Aventura that i care to hear a second time. on the other hand, i had to find out who sang ¨yo no tengo amigo, yo tengo socio¨.as you know, it is by El Sujeto. i love it. i bought it.
as to the issue of relieving your bowels and bladder on Marley´s tomb...that would be normal for you. you do it everywhere else. part of your lack of upbringing, and no exposure to flush toilets before your days in Rikers.
.Defecating on tombs is reserved for tyrants final resting places........like Castro for example .... either or..lol
or, for savages who do their bodily functions wherever the urge strikes them. guys like tunbagobierno, who has probably been arrested a dozen times in the States for urinating in the subway, and relieving his bowels in alleyways in his ghetto.
I never cared about getting arrested and being sent to Rikers...Now I do.
Did you know that my first contact with the enlightened beings of Jamaica happened at Rikers?
But I was too blind to see what they were about.
The urge to relieve myself in public was oh-so overwhelmingly strong...!!! It was like a drug to me!
But,listening to you and following your teachings has finally made me realized that my soiling ways weren't the answers.
This humble cave dweller will always be indebted to you and your people.
And please,what is this TOILET THING you spoke about?..Please...tell me more!!!
This site needs a better screening process, there are people here who post comments not related at all to the topic at hand, often I read comments that are intended as insults or as a way of degrading anything Dominican. I know this site is intended for the general public, but there has to be some form of control, you need to keep an eye on these comments.

"Why does it bother you so much that MOST here can't stand you ....yet I am popular "?....says poopy and that says it all .....his obsessive stalking of me shows he is a disturbed person or ......A Booger Eating Moron
John Goulet, the proof is in the pudding..........GHOST TOWNS threads vs VERY POPULAR threads..........you do the math.........
How is Zona Colonial?........a lot of traffic still?.........
NOW you claim I am stalking you, baboso, after you have been following me and most members around for years?.
How you like 'em apples?. JAJAJAJAJAJA.
You asked for it,once you decided to butt your way into a debate between kiskeyaman and I.
No one asked for your opinion and yet in an pompous and arrogant manner tried to minimize the magnitude of Merengue and bachata,(crossing the line ),using salsa as an excuse to then throw in your reggae music as the greatest musical accomplishment of all time!
"Usted no tenía vela en ese entierro" ,así que tú eres demasiado fresco y metiche and that's the only thing I've learned from this.
You need to work on your approach.
don't lost your time with tunbagobierno the bird brain!
I was the only one demeaning?
You should have taken the time to read all the comments by the Haitians,but I guess your Royal Highness was too busy ENJOYING THE SMELL OF HIS OWN FARTS.
Dude,you're just a flaming asshole with a superiority complex with nothing to feel superior about!
Get off your high donkey.
"DREADLOCKS
don't lost your time with tunbagobierno the bird brain!"
Don't worry about dready,he is not "LOSTING" his time,he loves this!
This is his life,dwelling by the computer,browsing through the pages of Dominicantoday,disregarding the millions of options offered by the worldwide web.
Just like you (Haitians) dready's life is ruled by Dominican affairs 24/7.
one more thing kiskeyaman,the next time you decide to shove your face up in dread's asscrack,make sure he pulls his pants down first.....
But then again....he probably loves wedgies.

You said: "now go back to listening to Aventura, or squeegeeing windshields at 138th and the Deegan, whichever strikes your fancy at this moment."
Too late your highness..!! .....already done it..!
After all,that's what all Dominicans do,right?..just one of the MANY things you've stated Dominicans do throughout your long run on the pages of Dominicantoday.
You said: "tunbagobierno, i never ever said i was better than anyone else. just you. which is not saying much, because you are basically pond scum, anyway."
Now,now,your highness,you're being way too modest...we all know you're better than the 9,956,648 of us Dominicans.
Modesty in a Royal King like you is considered a flaw....you're not acting or thinking straight.
I believe it's time your Royal highness dislodges kiskeyaman from up his behind,your straight thinking has been compromised for I'm afraid that kiskeyaman has been sucking out some of your brain matter.
Here's some real music.

'one more thing kiskeyaman,the next time you decide to shove your face up in dread's asscrack,make sure he pulls his pants down first....'
I knew you are a birdbrain but i know now you are a homosexual guy! If you are proud to be DR, but i don't think if the serious DOMINICAN are proud to share the same nationality wih you:
You act like a little child, you are not very happy in your live and i think you don't have the taste of the real music! If you don't understand that kompa and the haitians people have a lot of talent!
I am sure if the haitians decide to play baseball, we can fight you!
I give you a advice return to your cradle because your reaction miss a lot of maturity!
despite you live in usa, you stay idiot, you are very shabby!
.
go to dance with the real music!!!!!

Look at you,replying and kissing ass at the same time....NOW,THAT'S WHAT I CALL MULTITASKING
I gotta hand it to you man.
Now,enjoy:

it's true you don't have the arguments for do the weight against DREADLOCK.
But you act like a crap in front of him, you prefer flatter him and give him a hight place!
especially you prefer suck his ass : 'you are the ROYAL KING'!
I think you give him your butt, but you don't feel he f*ck you so far?
you sold you and your countrymen when you wrote "Now,now,your highness,you're being way too modest...we all know you're better than the 9,956,648 of us Dominicans."
when you wrote that, i can see your real personality, you are a coward.
when i talk you about DR, you talk to me about the latino!
latino against haiti, you don't have any argument to show me what you do in DR.
you prefer talk me about the good things of cuba,venezuela, mexico as if the people was dominicans or dominicans have the nationalities.
'I believe it's time your Royal highness dislodges kiskeyaman from up his behind,your straight thinking has been compromised for I'm afraid that kiskeyaman has been sucking out some of your brain matter.'
I think he disloge you and not me! me i think you have less than a birdbrain!
go to hang you!
you don't have honor and dignity, you are the shame of your country!
I give you the bottle and after turn in your cradle!
when you don't have enough maturity you must stay for take the milk is your case.
I don't know jamaica!
I know the dance hall, I know buju banton, etc..
I hope in your country you don't have a government who forbiddent to the citizens to listen HAITIAN MUSIC.
Because our music is not boring! we talk about several topic, we have a great culture!
Haiti is a entire people!
