I'm very impressed with Puerto Rico!

the guy that created the flag was staring at the cuban flag

The guy that created the mexican flag was staring the Italian flag.

yea
that so true about Puerto Rico.
we r just great at boxing
but the Dominicans have some great baseball players tho
with guys like arod,manny ramirez,jose reyes ect....
so they got that sport for now lol

For such a small country they can sure produce major powerhouse fighters!
What also surprises me is how the Dominican Republic (a country which is next to PR) is unable to deliver the same punch!
Must be in the genes I guess...

what about the philppines do they deserve to be given a credit for having my idol PAC? and the avoided Donaire?

I don't know if I'm in the majority or minority when it comes to my people sharing this viewpoint but I essentially disagree with alot of the things being said here. I believe we as a people are part of the US and should be happy and proud. Look at every other Latin American country next to us who is independent. Cuba, Mexico, DR, the entire Central America and South America. They are all messed up in many ways. Puerto Ricans need to ask themselves why don't we have it as bad as they do? It's pretty obvious to me and it IMO we shouldn't disrespect Americans and get this nationalistic pride in us when people ask us if we're Independent or part of the US. Just because some rednecks say the US "owns" Puerto Rico doesn't make it so and shouldn't be used as an excuse to hate any notion of us being part of the US. Puerto Ricans have fought and died side by side with Americans since WWI all the way up to the War on Terror and will continue to serve. My grandfather served in WWII in the Pacific Theatre and my father served in Vietnam. I believe to say one is Puerto Rican is to say I'm also American. Not one or the other but both. We should be happy in that fact and not have this false sense of only being able to be one and not the other. I am proud of being Puerto Rican and proud of being American. Being proud is often confused with considering those who aren't like you to be inferior to you. We should avoid this. Anyways I'm off my soap box.
