How do you feel about that?
I feel terrible.
Where can i view the video?
Interesting subject
Thanks.[quote=”Scott”]Where are you located exactly?[/quote]
Sorry about that. I live in South Kansas City,Mo.
[quote=”johnr”][quote=”sprite”]In Miami, we have a large Latin immigrant population and over the decades, they have acclimated quite well into the US culture which means they have adapted to a certain attitude towards work. Importing a work force into a culture has worked here so far.
However, it seems to me that exporting an American corporate culture to Costa Rica would be more difficult. If Ticos who are employed at Walmarts in Costa Rica are indeed somewhat unhappy at work, maybe it has to do with an attempt to overlay Walmarts’ employee slave-like behavior policies onto a culture which is in direct conflict with that sort of policy. Something has to give. People who are used to living free from work slavery are naturally going to be resistant. But economic necessities generally overcome this resistance, at least that has been the case in the U.S. And it seems to work elsewhere. U.S. jobs have been exported successfully all over the planet. Any bets on who does the adapting, Ticos or Walmart Corporate policy in CR?[/quote]
While Wal-Mart in the US certainly has issues regarding workers rights – to compare it to slavery is a complete fabrication and shows your ignorance. I think you do have a point regarding the corporate culture of Wal-Mart and the complete disregard to CR customs. However in todays global market – mañana doesn’t cut it in any country.
Haven’t you left the US yet or are you logged on from your nuclear fall out shelter.:lol:[/quote]
You said it very good. Better than i could have. Thanks
We had Indian Rivers and White Legerons when i was a kid in 4H.
They had no problem with below zero temps. Fifty degrees should be no problem.Why does a chicken coop always have 2 doors?
Because if it had 4 doors it would be a chicken sedan.
(I suppose 3 doors would make it a hatch-back.)[quote=”rexman2″][quote=”Scott”]You can read all about the 7530 law

Scott,
You assume we can all translate Spanish 🙂 Is there an English version?
We are planning on moving to CR in the next few months. This is my first post but haven’t needed to post much since everyone has done a great job with information already. I am sure that we will be posting some questions later as we look for some specific info we can’t find through searching the forum.One question on guns, I love guns, have always had guns since 12 y/o and always will have. I spent time in the Army and have a concealed permit here. I am a firm believer in gun rights but I am also a firm believer in the responsibility and need to train and maintain skills. Here where I live we have enough land I can shoot adn practice practically any time. If I want to go out practicing, or plinking, do you have to go to a range or can you find a farmer with land that will allow you to practice?
Looking forward to more research.[/quote]
GOOGLE TRANSLATE is your friend!
Sprite, i suggest you find something good to smoke! You definitely know how to ruin a good forum. lol
Use a router etc to make a deep pocket in the top of a solid wooden door. You have the door open and then reach over the top and down into the door. Keeps small items such as jewelery in it.
I grew up farming and working the land. The smell of fresh turned dirt has a place in my life as well. Sure i get tired of winter like most. I guess you have to be close to the land to understand it. Doubtful that a person raised in the city can grasp it. Winter in a city is totally different than living in the country during the winter. The crisp cold air is somewhat rejuvenating. The stillness and beauty of a winter night with the ground covered by snow and a full moon. (priceless) You can’t get that in CR.
[quote=”sprite”]I grew up in Ohio but had the good sense to move to Miami by the time I was 31….29 years ago. I have never missed the snow or the colors of autumn as my siblings seem to think would be the case if they were to leave the northern latitudes. The truth is pretty simple, obvious and documented…most people are happier in the sun and the spring-like temperatures such as that of the Costa Rican Central Valley. I find it difficult to understand or even imagine how anyone cold prefer the cold, grey dead landscapes of northern winters. In fact, I just don’t believe anyone really does.[/quote]
You just don’t really know what you are missing. The winter world is just as beautiful as a summer world. Get off your verbal soap box and take a real look at life.
[quote=”waggoner41″][quote=”normita”]I am watching the increasingly gruesome gang problems in MExico and the US/Mexico border and saw this article this morning which really frightens the crap out of me.
Like it or Not: Mexico is America’s Next Afghanistan
How do you think this could affect Costa Rica?[/quote]
The issue here should have a positive effect on Costa Rica in reducing the transport of drugs through this area by disrupting the distribution in Mexico.
To set this up as a military operation is not the way to go. The U.S. should provide investigative and intelligence assistance through police operations and let the Mexican Federales deal with the actual arrests and physical combat against the cartels.
Scott’s article on military assistance in Costa Rica is spot on. The U.S. Coast Guard watches suspicious boats navigating Costa Rican waters but does nothing toward interdiction. This has to change drastically.[/quote]
I read about 2 years ago of an American in his sailboat just of the coast of CR on the Pacific side. The USA ship came upon him less than 1/8 mile from shore. They searched his boat and arrested him for having 1 ounce of pot in the nigh stand in his cabin. irrc
My sister and her husband were in CR for two weeks awhile back and put 1400 miles on the rental car. They had a thrilling time. They always do what people tell them not to do. They left the airport at 3 pm and made it to somewhere after dark. They did have a few comments about being passed by a bus while they were passing a car. lol No GPS and a great time was had.
