Not gonna lie, I thought Ventura was a huge punk. I looked forward to the Tigers trying to pound his brains in for the next ten years.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 23, 2017 Why did I let my wife talk me into vacationing there next month? Nice knowing you guys Me too. I am going there for vacation with the family. I have been there before, though. It is a little scary getting their shuttle buses and seeing what they have on the roads. Best one was a scooter that had 4 people on it. Not even sure how it was moving forward, but they are all piled on the scooter on a busy road with no helmets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 23, 2017 Where are you staying? I have never done the DR before, nor have I done all-inclusive. We are staying at Excellence - Punta Cana, next month. We are staying at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana. We stayed at Dreams Punta Cana the last time. The all-inclusives are pretty good. Some words of advice: - Don't expect to do all sorts of excursions. If the resort is nice, stay there and enjoy. There isn't a ton to do elsewhere. We swam with the dolphins, but it is a lot of money. Other than that, skip it. - if they have an upgrade to premium club or whatever they have that gets you better booze, upgraded dining and special stuff, get it. It is worth it. - Many places have timeshare sales. They will hit you hard - Before you go, get your tourist card online as it will save you time at the airport in Punta Cana. It cost $10 (I think) and you have to have it. - Verify that your resort is providing transportation from/to the airport. Only go with them. The taxis and other places will take you for a ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,563 Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks, Reggie White. Great one. lets relive that great speech The United States has gotten away from God, in part by allowing homosexuality to ''run rampant,'' the ordained minister told them. Homosexuality is a sin and the plight of homosexuals should not be compared to that of blacks, he said. ''Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race,'' White said. ''People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing.'' Blacks were enslaved largely because their skin color made them stand out in white society, he said. Whites could not enslave American Indians because they ''knew the territory, and the Indians knew how to sneak up on people,'' he said. White said he had thought a lot about why God created different races. Each race has certain gifts, he said. Blacks are gifted at worship and celebration, White said. ''If you go to a black church, you see people jumping up and down because they really get into it,'' he said. Whites are good at organization, White said. ''You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature, and you know how to tap into money,'' he said. ''Hispanics were gifted in family structure, and you can see a Hispanic person, and they can put 20, 30 people in one home.'' The Japanese and other Asians are inventive, and ''can turn a television into a watch,'' White said. Indians are gifted in spirituality, he said. ''When you put all of that together, guess what it makes: It forms a complete image of God,'' White said. White said after his speech that his comments were about coming together as a society and taking guidance from God. They were not meant to stereotype the races, he said. As for homosexuality, White said anyone who disagrees with him can consult Scripture. Racist White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted January 25, 2017 Why did I let my wife talk me into vacationing there next month? Nice knowing you guys Hah.. yeah I go every year for about the last decade or so. Driving down there is no joke.They don't have lanes and the roads are crappy. If someone wants to pass they just honk and go by wherever. And in the city it's even worse. They don't have that many traffic lights or stop signs. So there's like a general flow of traffic that they somehow understand about when you can cross and things like that.
