[quote=”maravilla”]Watch this IF you dare:

No thanks.
So I see someone didn’t want [b]my[/b] Youtube post. It was a George Carlin post called “Stupid People”. It was no worse than the one above. It was humor. Go see for yourself. The point is that you don’t dare post anything about anything that doesn’t play into the moderator’s agenda. I’m sure noone is surprised.
Borrowed but so true:
[b]”Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience”[/b][i][/i].:roll::roll::lol::lol:“Patriotism requires allegiance to the flag, which means obedience and readiness to kill father, mother, brother, sister,” Emma wrote in 1910. “Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.”
This was in your referenced article Mr. Oliver. Well here we go again. Simply amazing. Why can’t you just stick to the name of your site and stop the endless dribble? You should be above this.
[quote=”aguirrewar”]Easy MsKitty:
Navy Seals are 40% mental, 10% physical and another 50% of just pure solid stainless steel BALLs’
out of 100 only 15 make it and those 100 that apply are hand selected from 500 every year
More college futball players will be drafted to the NFL in 1 year than make it as a Navy Seal by a 100 to 1 ratio
Your son belongs to the smallest FRATERNITY in the world and you should be proud of his accomplishments but be aware you might get a US flag in return for his service.
Death comes to all of us but death comes soon to a Navy SEAL, every minute and every day.
I salute you for your SON[/quote]
Thank you sir. Not a day goes by that I don’t realize how proud I am. He is very special. It just makes my skin crawl when I read things that are posted on here about all the hate from people who enjoy their freedom but trash their country and the people who gave them their freedom. If that kind of thing is common here I won’t be here for long. Thanks again.
[quote=”Ione”][quote=”sprite”]A gated community is one which is relatively secured and segregated from the surrounding social structure. But I refer more to the gated mindset than the gated physical barrier. Segregation from the community is, by definition, a rejection and repudiation of that community. It marks the resident as an outsider.
A gated community is a statement by the residents to the surrounding, outside community. The essence of the social contract is based on trust and fair distribution of community wealth. This contract is broken by the gated statement “I have more than the rest of you and I do not trust the rest of you and I feel the need to be guarded and have my property protected from you.” Anyone who thinks about this for even a moment must see the insult.
A gated community is also physical evidence of an income gap within a society and that is never healthy. Gated communities are a sign of an infection in the society.[/quote]
WOW SPRITE::::: You really do have a warped idea of gated communities,Gringos and Ticos alike. Just found this thread and can’t believe the great divide here and the ignorance. I am going to keep this very short but we have lived here for over 18 years now, have lived in various areas of the country and guess what, there are more gated communities throughout this country than in most other countries. And by the way, a very high percentage of them are inhabited Tico or Latino residents. Also, not to mention, the millions of homes with bars on them (mostly out of the gated communities but found in both.) We are fortunate enough to enjoy both the ex pat and the Tico/Latino communities and we wouldn’t change a thing! Hope you get a better attitude soon. Good Luck.[/quote]
That is the most intelligent thing I’ve read on this thread. There is too much hatred toward “Gringos”. Who the heck do you think would save your ass if Costa Rica were threatened. The very people you refer to as the evil “Gringos”. The US and/or Canadian military. I’d bet you would quickly get a case of humility and appreciation for “Gringos”.
As for Maravilla. I’m proud to be the mother of a US navy seal. I suspect you dropped a little too much acid when you were in California. You speak for a radical few. You’re irrelevant.:lol:
