A house in Vancouver just sold for $51 million. That puts the bribe into perspective.

I agree with you for the most part, but racism in the US is not restricted to the south. Recent executions by cops in Washington state, New York, and St Louis prove that racism against black people is not limited to the south. It also shows that something needs to be done about abusive cops in the US.

Besides being a leader in executions, the US also leads in the percentage of population incarcerated.

As for the US buying CR’s debt and loyalty in the 1980s, remember that the US was waging a war in Nicaragua at that time and using CR as a staging center.

“You are the one who tried to label me as poor”
Total misstatement.
Once again I will repeat. The wealthy rarely, if ever mention the fact, and most certainly not here.
Why when CRChris is attacked by dnutz are you responding in first person? Are you posting under multiple handles? At the very least you’re confused and pathetic. haha

I am in awe of your great wealth though.
It’s so funny. Tell us again!!

Your words are offensive and I’m not just speaking political correctness. The Chinese can and do build quality stuff — they also build junk; as long as there is a market for junk, they will fill it. Historically, the Chinese culture is rich in invention and I would guess you and all those who gave you a “like” take advantage of their long history of technology on a daily basis. Suggest you research ALL the inventions that came out of China and you will find it is hundredfold of anything whatever country you come from invented.

It’s spiraling down because of the mentality that the government owes (owns) the people. They have given up their freedom for a nanny state. Once they get a taste of government handouts for everything, what’s the incentive to try to be responsible for yourself. In all fairness, the “rich” elite Costaricenses have stripped the country through corruption BUT the people let it happen — so shame on them.

Sorry to hear about your personal involvement in crime. It must have been a horrible experience. I am not for letting such people out, unless their conviction is overthrown for good reasons.
