A blue moon occurs on the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon of a calendar month. Most years have twelve full moons that occur approximately monthly. In addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains roughly eleven days more...

An island like Bonaire, that derives 100% of it's income from tourism, mainly divers, should allocate half that income to give the tourist better protection. As they got a better hold of crime, made it safer on the island, that share towards crime fighting would decrease. They should have police...

They have accurate and reliable hearsay. :rofl3: Everyone else's is just inadmissible.:eyebrow: Different rules, dontchaknow.:eyebrow:

You chaps remind me of the people that keep saying, the Titanic is unsinkable and there is nothing at all to worry about. :shakehead: You call my views based on hearsay but the hearsay you get is more accurate and reliable? Interesting. Funny, actually. You also remind me of what I learned of...

There has to be a reason that Bonaire does not make public any of their crime stats? Wonder why that is? Realistic based on what? There are no stats, so what do YOU base your views on? Oh, yes, avoidable. Yeah, if you become a victim of crime it's YOUR fault not the criminal. I keep...

There is a very solid reason Boniare keeps its growing crime problem and stats a secret -it would adversly effect tourism. If divers had an accurate picture of just how bad it really is, they would find safer areas to spend thier dive dollars. The pro Bonaire crowd foolishly think since there...

So, you think the people that post on this board, that tell of crime victimization and all the divers I spoke to in the last 8 yeares are, gulp, liars? :confused:

Your skills are fine, just use them. At this point I seriously doubt we are talking about the same thing? There are no questions or answers about YOU, but a lot on crime on Bonaire, which I thought was the topic we were talking about?

Read the board more closely and you will see these things have already been asked and answered.

This has been answered a dozen times, it's a small island, everyone knows each other, there is no place to fence this stuff, cops do squat, population is under 15000. If they can't stop it on Bonaire IT'S ONLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE, OR THEY ARE PART OF IT.:shakehead:

They seem incapable of handling the truth.:shakehead: The only reason I'm dismissed [that's only what they claim publicly ] is it does not agree with thier Bonaire myth

The safe has been ripped out of the wall and all its contents gone, room rasacked, dive gear missing, tires gone from rental car, passports gone - cooltech and cave diver start asking questions -what happen? Two years later, they are still asking the same questions, meanwhile 10 more break ins...

In order for any crime to stop on Boniare, two things must happen, police do something about it and the people that like Boniare, live on Bonaire , and some in this thread, take steps to bring about change. Sweeping it under the reef solves nothing.

Yes, and if I answered them he'd dismiss everything I said, disbelive it, then ask a slew of additional questions that were as annoying and inane as the first set of questions. It would never end.:eyebrow: All he does is ask questions, will not accept answers, and continues to ask more. It's...

yes, yes, we understand. But you see, Herr Roelf, that is the problem and what we are attempting to overcome.

There has been no evidence that you get it at all, in this thread. For somone that CLAIMS to have an Engineering degree, any degreee, you seem to be finding it difficult to grasp the obvious. Fine people I'm sure but hardly experts on bonaire crime, right? Have YOU been humble and...

The reason you saw those comic pix was because a lot of pixie dust was getting blown into this thread and it seemed like we all needed some comic relief from the white washing wow, that is absurdity to the max.:shakehead: The very people you mentioned are the very people who have a vested...

Honesty is, as they say, the best policy. If you really want change, then you have to demand it, ask for it, take steps to bring it about and admit that things NEED to be changed. The more you keep the crime on Bonaire secret, and foist the Bonaire is a sleepy dive Paradise baloney on us, the...

No you are correct, there is not real accurate list of crimes, i.e., break ins on rental condos, hotel rooms, car thefts, muggings, etc because Bonaire does not divulge them. The same Boosters claim the island is the safest in the Caribe :rofl3:but have no accurate data to back that up. They...
