What is puerto rico?

Puerto Rico is awesome for some people. I like it but, that depends on your attitude and style. Here in Puerto Rico we have a large population of "cacos" those are the people that listen to reggeton, we have a very small population of skaters, emos are very different from the USA emos. Punks, mmm... we have a lot of them and hard core metal well you may guess theres a LOT. and the Caribbean music is common and If you dont want to come to Puerto Rico you could just go to Miami and listen to the music. But you its better to go to Puerto Rico the real thing. :) we are all unique we don't look anything all like, we have a big population of people in art. emm.... what else can I say.

son: mom?
mom: yes?
son: I will like to know why haven't we got a chance to go to Puerto Rico
mom: well we just tough you prefer to go to Disney
son: mom thats so old I want to see granma!

That proves we are awesome!

Puerto rico - what is it?

The island of enchantment. An island with over 270 miles of amazingly beautiful beaches. The culinary capital of the Caribbean. Famous for its seductive nightlife. Home to endless natural beauty. Home and birthplace of Barcardi and Medalla. Birthplace of Salsa. And home to the most good-looking and happiest people on Earth.

Ignore any pointless definitions. They were written mostly by ignorant, stupid, hillbilly, redneck incompetents who were probably born on shitty land-locked states, probably haven't been further than 10 miles from the most insignificant town of (insert shitty, useless town name here) on which they were born, and the closest they have been to a beach is a toad infested lake.

Puerto Rico does it better.

Puerto rico - meaning

Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto is an archipelago in the northeastern Caribbean. The island Puerto Rico is the smallest by land area but 3rd largest by population among the Antilles.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens by the 1917 Jones Act. The island has a republican form of government and is subject to US jurisdiction and sovereignty. Any US Citizen, even those born in PR, may vote for the US president and US Congress from any other part of the world. Conversely, no US citizen may vote for federal level positions from Puerto Rico. This is why many make the mistake of believing the territory is a colony. In fact Puerto Rico is a country on its own. Puerto Rico hosts Consulates from 42 countries and is well represented in the ONU. Although Spanish is the official language, almost every Puerto Rican is bilingual. Puerto Ricans also tend to have the highest GPAs in the entire American continent.

The island of Puerto Rico is famous for its many achievements in sports, despite being a small island, has had more World boxing champions than any other country. The basketball team of Puerto Rico defeated the US basketball team in Athens, Greece, the defending gold medalist and basketball powerhouse in Olympic play.

Puerto Rico also has the highest per capita GNP of latin america and a diversified economy with large tourist, manufacturing, health, education and service centers.

Puerto rico

An Island located to the west of the Dominican Republic. Annexed by the U.S. and now basically is part U.S. Puerto Rico has no identity they are owned by the U.S. Puerto Rico uses U.S. currency. When vacationing in Puerto Rico do not talk or get comfortable with the island women for they are actually penis bearing transexuals. As for the puerto rican male population, they are often called faggots due to their obsession with plucking eyebrows that often look better than their mothers. American Puerto Rican women don't marry their own but often marry african american thugs. Puerto Ricans don't believe in god but only in Rosie Perez.

Puerto rico

A small island state in the Caribean, just southeast of the United States. This island is a tumultous and dirty breeding ground for filthy, lazy people. Peurto Ricans are proud, hence their silly flags and CD's hanging from the mirrors of their fart-piped, rice-burners. They are overrunning the SouthEast and Northeast United states, and breeding like roaches. They refuse to assimilate into American culture and are causing a large problem, especially in Florida.

Another damned band of 'Ricans just got arrested at the park for causing trouble.

Puerto rico

1) a beautiful, historic caribbean island. a territory of the united states of america and home to some of the most beautiful people in the world. contrary to popular belief and other ignorant comments on this website, PUERTO RICANS ARE NOT GHETTO. as with any race, there are undesirable characters. however, i am puerto rican myself and i am not ghetto. in fact, my whole family is extremely educated and attend/ have attended prestigious private schools. we work hard, and are contributing members of society. so before you think we're ghetto, think also of white trash and ghetto african americans. don't play into stereotypes.

2) home to beautiful, sexy & shapely women
3) latinas do it better ;)

oh she's from puerto rico? no wonder she's gorgeous.
