Bad Ending to Otherwise Good Bonaire Trip

[pilot fish]

There must be at least 100 posts where you have white washed the Bonaire crime problem, failed to do any meaningful research, asked a dozen questions, rather than answer any, missed the point entirely, given people an unealistic view of crme on Bonaire and mistated facts. All we ask is that you reread divebarts post and try to understand what he's saying? He is not a casual visitor, like you and I, but a full time resident, a resident that wants to make it better on Boniaire. Why not join his good effort and speak the truth about the crime on Bonaire? Be part of the solution, not a continuation of the problem

Asked and avoided through 50 posts now... It's really that difficult to show a single post of someone "defending room invasions". How sad it is to be the boys who continue to cry WOLF! WOLF! WOLF!

You can't win such a debate. Obviously no one can prove that something has NOT been said.
VERY easy to prove that a thing HAS been said or done, even once, by just one SINGLE piece of evidence. Just one single post could be used to prove the existence of such a comment, if it had ever been posted, while no number of posts can prove the lack of a comment.


This is often the debating technique of those with the weakest position, when there is little or no evidence to support a debater's opinion, just bluff and misdirection to confuse the issue, and redirect the argument away from facts and evidence..

reminds me of a street preacher I saw in Santa Monica in the early 70's. Wild man, wild rants, and accusations. No way to hold a conversation with the "prophet", but real easy to set him off on one of his tirades, and quite amusing to witness, and provoke

You weren't gonna win an debate with this character either, as he had his own facts, and no one else's facts carried any weight in HIS world view!

Okay, you guys got me. It's all made up and I am personally trying to buy Curacao as my own private island. My sole purpose is to single handedly shut down the dive industry on Bonaire through the use of the all powerful tool of the scubaboard, then once that is accomplished I will close all the dive shops on Curacao and open mine which will then be the only diving in the entire area. I will then make 1 billion dollars.

Feel better?

Talk about out of touch and out of mind. Wow.

Seriously Francis/Cooltech, if you feel the deep desire, the need to be right on something, go for it, you seem to have some deep personal issues surfacing here and I don't want to be responsible for you shooting everybody at your work place on monday morning over some posts on scubaboard.

So in the spirit of protecting innocent lives you are right on everything you have posted and on everything you will ever post on the internet as an annoymous person.

Now relax and put the gun down.

... and yet again avoided... just one post that backs up your statement rather than a failed attempt to make it go away?

Thanks, gypsyjim.... My point is pretty much made by now.

For some who keep preaching doom and gloom and accuse others of spreading "pixie dust" not one post to backup their claim of "pixie dust" or "defending room breakins". I know I can't prove there is NOT a post unless I put every post from all threads into this one thread for analysis. But, if one post existed to offer proof for their statements (where the rest of the group didn't jump at to discount first) it would be a bit of a different story.
