Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic is a half-island country located in the Caribbean.

We have one of the worst education systems in Latin America; the government refuses to invest the (by-law) minimum of 4% of the budget in education.

We have a large illegal immigrant population of Haitians who cross the border seeking to re-establish themselves on this side of the island.

Underage drinking is a custom here; allowing minors to go into clubs is an everyday sighting.

Culturally rich, the Dominican Republic was the first colony in America to have a university (Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo, founded 1538 if I'm not mistaken), the first cathedral, and being the birth place to the music genres of Merengue and Bachata. Other musical styles that have great popularity here are Rap and "Dembow".

Unfortunately, this country is controlled by the 5-10% of the population that in election time "buys" votes of the uneducated and gullible by bribing them with food and false promises. This keeps the country chained to a vicious circle from which it seems it cannot unbind itself.

The Dominican Republic is a poor country, ravaged by drugs and corruption, and from the looks of it, this might be the case for a while.

We got nice beaches, plantain, mangu, sancocho, red soda, a very colourful vocabulary, (mostly) kind and helpful, but retarded people, and one of the most beautiful national anthems.

Corruption, drugs, and plantain are Dominican Republic's main exports.

Dominican Republic

To clear a couple of things off (& I quote)): "The first Caribbean country to gain its independence was Haiti in 1804, and it was followed by the Dominican Republic in 1844 and Cuba in 1902."

Go to this link and see for yourselves that us people from the Dominican Republic are not lying: http://tinyurl.com/yqcprl

republicans

Self-rightous assholes who force their beleifs on everyone. Always thinking they're the best and the very reason we're at war.

I think George Bush is an example of republicans enough.

republicans

Someone who has clearly never read the Bill of Rights, even the first freaking clause.

Republicans will stare at you like an alien if you mention "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion..."

Republishark

see RepubliCON. A republishark is interested in fishing in the proper social circles and if found in an internet chat room is quite amenable to kosher chit-chat. A republishark is found swimming in Finlandia, Atlantis, coral reefs, sea gardens, marine forests, water jungles, and off coastal shelfs. Republishark measures his food intake and internet usage in shark bytes. He shares and listens to his friends telling fish stories, fish tales and fairy tales about the Tooth Fairy. He prefers women who wear fishnet stockings. Republishark eschews fishing expeditions but is quite involved in fishy business, fishing for answers, and splitting hairs to the point of fraying nerves. Being a Republishark is by no means a cake walk and may at times be seen studying a pie chart, distinguishing between non sequitors or red herrings or interacting with females relying at varying degrees on their feedback.

If a republishark could vote, he would be a republican that votes republican but supports dolphin safe tuna and policies that support the environment and is against drift net fishing. The technical classification name for a republishark is Fellachimorpha Elasmobranchii Hypochondrichthyes RepubliCONus

people's republic of

Term used by generally conservative critics to describe an area with a majority of leftist politics.

Tom, a stanch conservative, hated California, which he referred to as the People's Republic of California.
