[quote=”Johnzane”]For a company called WeLoveCostaRica, you sure spread hate. What else do you mean by publishing this obvious attack on white Americans? In Hawaii, we call them f**king Haoles. But do you see this epithet published in trade publications and websites like this? Of course not. Hawaiians are not about to bite the hands that feed them, and dealing with a few annoying tourists is not going to change that. Paradise is not without it’s snakes, but I’d rather not read about them. Please stop running anymore of these hit pieces, they do nothing to build loyalty to your brand, much less Costa Rica.[/quote]
What on EARTH are you nattering about? This wasn’t an attack on Americans…by any reading!

Actually, Hawaii should be independant, it was stolen in a USA led coup, buy wealthy American industrialists (Dole fruit people I beleive for one).
Now, that said, America, the nation I was born, raised and still, live in, does not feed me-actually, much food is imported these days, much like everything else not shipped to commuinist China.
God does feed me, it is scriptural, look it up-who is in charge? Isaih ch. 30 echoes several psalms in that God, obediance to Him, equals wealth (and not, not some stock option). It equals sustanance.
Another point, I am a white European-origin (EuroAMerican if you will :roll:) male. I am proud of my Scot and German forefathers. I am very euro-centric, but also, look openly at other cultures.
I am a traditional (yup, pray the Divine Office, say rosary and go to a Latin Mass) Catholic, hence, much of Costa Rica, though a different flavor/history of Catholicism, I can relate to in many ways. Hence, that, coupled with great weather and nice Ticos, makes CR top on my lists of places to retire to or flee even to.
America, for decades of neglect, factionalism, partyism,etc,etc is dying.large parts are a war zone in major cities. A nation founded on radical “dont tread on me” liberalism, do whatever you like was the motto basically. Through in Deists and Freemasons, and it was a pot ready to explode and decay…..and now it is….
My forebearers, when they could not effect change any longer, left…..so too wish I. I served my country in the “war on crime”, crime won btw. I served 4 yrs as chairman of my states third party,etc,etc.
It is not hate to point out the obvious and documentable fall of the USA economically and in standard of living. It is not hate to point out the arrogance that the USA, on its own and on behalf of Israel (our undeclared 51st state), in that we tell everyone what to do and by gosh, if they do not do it, we set up false flag operations, bombing churches, schools,etc to get the results we want (for our corporations too). Obviously, you do not really have your eyes open and certainly, do not live in the South, where people actually worhsip, nearly, the military and relish talking about bombing and turning people/nations into glass!.
Ever see pictures of chidlren after a nuke affects them? or phospherous weapons?…something to cheer about? Bear in mind, most do this from the sfaty of their living rooms, 50-100 lbs over weight and never serving even-fine for your kid to go die for the NWO, or lose a limb, eyes or their minds. After Vietnam, plenty of people thrown like garbage out on the streets as the VA either did not have resources to help them or did not want to report them in the stats…..I had to deal with a few as a cop…..
No, many of us do not want to play “pretend” or wear rose colored glasses any longer (now, one almsot has to wear blackened). We do not like Patriot Act I and II, and all the other garbage that has been passed since. Not really wanting to be brutalized while a gang of TSA thugs gang rape my wife.
Yup, give it time and USA will happen.
So, please, stay in hawaii under the protection of Uncle (TSA-molesting) Sam….for me, want to get the hell out now…..
Thinking of looking into a neocon directed site, where flag wavers can get rid of me by donating…naw, they are too cheap and too busy reciting jingos and flag waving during their 2 minutes of hate……the real haters, BTW, are neocons and the 98% of AMericans stooging to them…give or take a %

it was an attack on dupes and certain people, maybe, certain politicians, attitudes,etc….not all people (like you, me and others). Sometimes, truth can hurt and excite….
I myself, not haterizing, just ready to leave and change…[quote=”Johnzane”]For a company called WeLoveCostaRica, you sure spread hate.

Hit piece??? hmmm..sounds like Limbaughism….again, no hate, but really, notice that many here left USA-or other places-because they did not like where they were any longer.
and by hand that feeds-do you imply that the USA, like a rich uncle, is providing for Costa Rica? Is CR now a client state of USA? should CR “smarten up or else?”re-read title, Gringos applies to many people, not just AMericans…..but, maybe the problem lies in that people do not do their research prior to moving to CR and then want it to be like some tourista, built up McDonalds/WalMart Disneyland……the idea being that, it should be “just like home” or if not, then darn it all, it should be…..or else…..
my husband and I just returned from a Costa Rica vacation.
When we arrived before 2 p.m. at our hotel, we were informed
that our room was not ready yet. We could see the stress on
the maid’s face -was she afraid of being fired?-.
I said that we were very early, and that we’d love to have lunch anyway, and please, don’t rush..we are not in any hurry.
We both smiled at the lady.You should have seen her face:
it beamed! While we were having lunch, the manager found us and directed us to a much nicer room. We were sure to thank
her and show her our appreciation.
We are so aware that we are outsiders, and go to great lenghts
to be good ambassadors of Canada, were we live.Lynda posted [i]”My family visited Los Suenos last year for 4 weeks and absolutely love the country”[/i]…and of course she has experienced some ‘culture shock’ since that area is very different from other parts of the country, on a return visit.
But the [b]OP[/b] is still wearing his ‘rose-tinted glasses’ and I would like as [b]maravilla[/b] stated, for an updated report, in a few years.[quote=”Johnzane”]For a company called WeLoveCostaRica, you sure spread hate.

1. Thanks for your feedback Johnzane about a letter written by a U.S. citizen happily living in a rural area of Costa Rica – far away from tourists – with his Russian wife…
2. Would love to understand how you think this letter is spreading hate? Because the writer and I – and many others – all agreed that it was educational and would help people.
3. Would also love to understand how your twisted mind works and how it is an “obvious attack on white Americans”?
4. This is not Hawaii and the published letter is not referring to “a few annoying tourists”, he’s referring to people who live here.
5. I don’t give a damn what’s published in “trade publications” and if you don’t like what is written here please feel free to unsubscribe because I will publish more articles about snakes.
6. There is no company called WeLoveCostaRica, it’s a website.
Happy New Year!
Scott
in all fairness, spending four weeks in Los suenos is not the same as living in Costa Rica. it would be hard to have any negative opinions about this place from that perspective. Most of the ticos i know could not afford to spend even one night there, much less 4 weeks. you could not possibly have any grasp of what living here is like staying in a luxury resort. and that is part of the problem of people who come, have a wonderful experience in the lap of luxury, and then think they can function in this dysfunctional society. i can guarantee you that daily life in this country does not even begin to resemble life in Los Suenos! but they come anyway, based on some unrelatistic expectation only to discover that it is NOT Disneyland; it is hardcore Latin culture filled with all kinds of prejudices, quirks of human nature, rituals, and patterns, none of which you will ever see in a resort area. so before you make a move, you should probably consider living in several areas, deal with daily life of trying to navigate the healthcare system, the banking system, the utility company, and on and on and on.

Camby, since I don’t know you I’m trying to reserve judgement on you personally, however you are making it very hard to stay silent with your racist comments about people in the South, I was born and raised in the South and I resent your remarks. For someone who professes to be a follower of Christ you sure seem to harbor a great deal of hate. I also see you tend to post a comment on any post made here which you may or may not know anything about. You said earlier that your brain works faster than you can type. Really? I wish you PEACE and happiness.
The article by Anonymous is right on target.
My wife and I retired from New Jersey to CR almost 5 years ago and we can wholeheartedly agree with his points, both positive and negative.
Yes, we have had some moments of doubt…can we really adjust and be happy here?
Like Maravilla we quickly dispensed with the notion to “move back”. Go back to what?
In short: considering climate, culture, cash-flow, cost of living, even corruption…we can not only “take it” but contribute as well and be very satisfied with our decision.I agree with this article and would like to add an observation of my own. After 6 months here I have noticed that whether it’s a government officina or a bank, they always let you know that your problem or request is going to require more time or documents. I have decided that this is primarilly to see how you handle the news! If you immediatly become ridged and arguementative, the solution will be long and painful. But, if you aknowledge that the person you are dealing with has your fate in his hands and that you are at his mercy, and willing to do whatever is required, they often react by showing you the wisdom of your ways by demonstrating that you have come to the one person that can help you out of your predicament, for which you simply need to respond with a heartfelt muchas gracis!
Using this submissive approach, my wife and I both received our Carnets from the Caja in less than 2 hours! Possibly a record!
[quote=”ddavis”]I totally agree with the writer of the article. If you don’t
like it then move back and live where you wanted to leave for some reason.A fellow Texan

Read it again!
the labyrinthine maze of paperwork in this country has a 500 year old history going back to Spain! and yes, you are right about the attitude. any time i run into a snag, i do what you do and make that person feel as though they are the grand mufti of problem-solving. in the first issue of Neotropica we published an article on just this issue of why the paperwork takes so long, why it takes so many people to figure out what has to be done, and why so many people get involved in the resolution. there is a historical basis for this mess. jejeje http://www.neotropica.info
