Get a grip ID. MY post had absolutely nothing to do with yours.

People do post info on the board for reasons other than generating replies from you.

This guy reminds me of the highly polished Florida turd who brought two of his butt boys with him fishing about a year ago. We were having breakfast in Jaco and he couldn't wait to tell everyone what a second rate piece of shit country Costa Rica is. He went on and on about how everything was "two star", etc , etc. His butt boys waited in silence.

Finally, I could take no more, "If you think this place is so bad", I told him, "why don't you get your powdered ass back on an airplane and go home?" With that, I departed. Shortly thereafter, one of his underlings approached me and told me that I had made his whole trip, "I have been waiting for someone to tell that pompous asshole off for twenty years!"

Hey, if you are used to high-count Egyptian sheets and five star hotels with stellar service and people waiting on you hand a foot like slaves, please, stay the hell out of Costa Rica. All you do is whine and drive prices up! :twisted:

Sorry, unless you use a quote from a specific poster it can be assumed that your comments refer to the thread in general.Perhaps you should broaden your horizons and and realize any posts in a thread are fair game for rebuttal.

Did I do it correctly this time, your highness? :wink:

Don ID,

Do you have any thoughts/opinions on the 492,000 tons of garbage that gets dumped in the streets and rivers and it's affect on the quality of life in Costa Rica?

I may be wrong here, but it is my understanding that CR is no longer considered a "3rd World Nation". I thought it was now classified as a "Developing Nation", one step above "3rd World"? Can anyone confirm this?

I think itâ€™s a developing third world country. lol

No problem. Always willing to help those members who are challenged in one way or another.

I assume you are asking a rhetorical question as obviously no one is happy with the problems of garbage and human waste disposal.

From AM Costa Rica:

Nidia RodrÃguez of Terra Nostra said that the country generates 4,500 tons of solid waste a day and that 30 percent of it ends up in streets, vacant lots, rivers and other public places.

Perhaps this is one of the criteria the original poster should have used in arriving at his conclusion. I know for sure that it was one of things I objected to about Costa Rica.

If the estimate is correct, the annual total would be 492,000+ tons per year?????

So, those of you who resent his statement that CR is a sh*t hole might have a harder time arguing that it's a not a "dump." :wink:

I did not resent his comments as you put it. I pointed out that his comment regarding the lack of culture and shopping was, in my opinion, not only off the mark but reflected a lack of investigation on his part. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion as to the pro and con of living in any country and others are free to disagree.

If you are comparing San Jose to a smaller, more boring, community in the US, than I will agree. However, I disagree that San Jose is full of culture. It has a few small patches... like China Town (which is a joke compared to others) and the National Theater, which is beautiful. And, a few other places.

When I think of a "cultured" country... I think of a country that treasures its national culture and also is highly enlightened and has places to celebrate others cultures. There are just too many educated people in CR that think that China and Japan are both just Chinos. ((What is the difference between Japan and China anyway???? I never could figure that one out. )) The culture in most of CR is in the Pueblo.... the church... the soccer park... ... the town square... the town drunk.

Of the little that does exist, I do agree that most tourists do not see any of it. In fact, most guys on this board think the word "tica" is synonymous with hooker. :oops:

Sorry man - this is how I see it.
