Thank you for publishing the article, “Parents Fighting to Save Country Day in Guanacaste.” This type of publicity should help the new school board find the support it needs to save the school. http://www.amcostarica.com/050913.htm#31 As the current owner, president, and … Continue reading →

I totally agree with what Dan Gibson said in his letter. In 2011, I was dealing with the Ministry of Health in getting permission to open a new crematory in Costa Rica. It was an opportunity to bring the latest state-of-the-art equipment … Continue reading →

The headline in your May 6 issue stating that the National Rifle Association (NRA) leadership may differ from the opinion of the NRA members is not surprising. The actions of the NRA officials are actually driven by the gun manufactures … Continue reading →

The article [on ease of doing business] hit the nail right on the head. Four different Gringos (two of them personal friends) in the past year have thrown in the towel between : 1.   Mass confusion on taxes; 2.  Serious delays … Continue reading →

Bravo to Mark Sydney in his “Make Sure You Tiptoe Pass Door 17″ because “That’s Born-Again Christian Heaven. Let them think they’re the only ones up here.”  That is certainly good for a laugh! I have a blind belief in nothing, including … Continue reading →

Re: your printing of Henry Kantrowitz’s letter, in your reader’s opinion section titled “Muslims seem a bit more liberal on who gets to go to Heaven.” Mr. Kantrowitz is concerned about Hell and Heaven and how different religions address the subject.  He … Continue reading →

Reader Henry Kantrowitz is right.  Christians understand that the Christ is the only way to eternal life in oneness with God.  Being a Christian only can define those who confess that Christ, the Messiah, the fullness of God made manifest, is their … Continue reading →

Here is a reply to Henry’s “Muslims seem a bit more liberal on who gets to Heaven’ It amazes me that those learned in the various exacting sciences can think that an Omniscient God who established the rules governing the … Continue reading →

The torah itself makes no mention of Gehenna, but little matter – it’s a part of Jewish and Yiddish religious and folk tradition and lore nevertheless. Henry Kantrowitz’s piece ‘Muslims seem a bit more liberal on who gets to go … Continue reading →

The article on, “Most Muslims would embrace sharia law in their countries,” seems to have one commonality between Christians and Muslims, although Muslims seem more open that people of other religions can also get to heaven. “More than half (Muslims) … Continue reading →

I don’t know your reason to have such a low opinion of former military.  When I returned home from Vietnam,  I didn’t experience the humiliation of being spat upon as I entered the terminal, but the disgust that I felt … Continue reading →

There are a couple of things the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social could do right now that would save time and money. How about filling recurring prescriptions for three months at a time instead of monthly? This could be done … Continue reading →

Fortunately, we have always had rapid and excellent service when a medical situation has arisen.  Of course, we always have reading material on hand in the event of a prolonged wait. We have often remarked that, even though the person … Continue reading →

I think my medical experience is newsworthy.   I only wish I had read about the described process so much earlier! I discovered I had a sciatica nerve condition that caused me great pain for months.  I went to an orthopedic … Continue reading →

Your article on the claimed fusion of “terrorists” and drugs portrays the U.S. government as the protector of Latin America. There are many here who would point to the past century and more of U.S. involvement in terrorist regimes that slaughtered … Continue reading →

I find it necessary to write in respect to the death of Andrés Cruz Castro, and I beg the public to be aware of what can happen when we become careless. What I mean by careless is setting a fire to clean … Continue reading →

As a football follower for more than 60 years who holds no real preference for any club or country, my passion lies with watching a “beautiful game” that’s entertaining, played fairly, skillfully and ultimately, without bias. Unfortunately, the game I … Continue reading →

Max Jackson is unfairly and incorrectly putting all Conservative Christians in one box by saying we all will never believe that humans contribute to global warming.  I am one of a multitude of conservative Christians who definitely believe that all humans … Continue reading →
