We were in SanJuan on our honeymoon-the place stinks to high heaven, the people are lazy, they brag about the money the USA sends them, they take no responsibility for their actions.
Our tour bus struck a stop sign and sideswiped a parked car trying to turn a corner. NEVER stopped. Puerto Ricans historically have always handed themselves over to whoever would pay the most for the resulting tourist trade.
Its the perfect example of a welfare state and they like it that way. Sell them to Cuba and pay off the nat'l debt.
As in anything, your perspective has to be framed by a period of history. A specific timeline. So if I said that I visited New York City in 1899, I could say the same thing your saying about New Yorkers.
Your perspective is miopic, ill-intended and does not reflect well on your character.
At any rate, I refuse to comment further on your prejudiced opinion, Misis.
