Bad Ending to Otherwise Good Bonaire Trip

[ScubaSteve]

How many Bonaire websites have you visited that discussed security?

STOP THERE! Supply your website address, so we can all be; 1- sure you are a business owner, 2-understand what business you are in, 3- can address your business security and proactive measures there-in...

Heck.....no Coz sites discuss security that I have seen (I have not looked in 2 years).

Remember CT, this is the guy that feels he should be able to leave $6000 worth of Camera/computer stuff on the seat of his unlocked truck and feel it is secure. Reality need not apply.

Well, the parts posted at me personally...

Have you ever kissed a girl? Come on, you can tell us!

An obvious loosing dig... has been removed

I guess searching his posts on other threads and quoting him must have put a stop to that and had it/them removed....

Well, the parts posted asking me if I have ever kissed a girl have been removed...

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison Billy?

Maybe it was his way of telling you that he.....NVM

Just another example that the white washers want to pretend isn't even happening there. For everyone of them that trys to lessen the harsh reality of it all, you suffer for it.

I looked at your website, and maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any mention on your website about your security. As a fellow business owner if asked, I'd advise you to be proactive. .

One of the problems about free speech on the internet is folks can post whatever drivel they want, they don't have to substantiate what they write, they can twist what others write to suit their agenda and unfortunately it can do harm to honest hard working folks. Liz is very pro active with her business, Bonaire and also with fellow divers, you obviously don't realize it or chose to ignore it.

Mike, you and your cohort PF in your smear campaign against Bonaire, really ought to be ashamed of yourselves (unfortunately I realize you don't get it). I suggest that you ought to stop pontificating about what folks on Bonaire should do, when it's so blatantly obvious you are in no position to do so.

"As a fellow business owner"? Really, do you know the first thing about it? I believe I know the answer to this simple question. I also believe I know the answer as to exactly how much first hand experience you have on Bonaire (hint...very little).

Can someone provide me with an icon which symbolizes pure disgust?

Well, since I did a search of posts made and asked that same question in three other threads of him...

I was censured and threatened with a vacation until I showed it as a quote aimed at me from te user... te user has been very quiet since then...

Ala the old game show Password...

The answer is ZERO visits to Bonaire

CNN just posted a video on Scope. A bit dramatized but interesting, even tho he is wrong about it being used in Columbia only.

Don, as others have said... You're just not getting it

Nope, because they don't have security problems. The tourist is protected as the cash-cow by the locals and if needed the Federales. It's fine to overcharge them if you can, but they have to submit voluntarily therefore these discussions never happen on that forum.

Resorts and hotels do often have security employees and facilities, but they're a non-issue.

By it I guess you mean a single, tunnel-visioned view - nope. I see many facets to the problem, largely hidden by the news suppression on the island - which Coz is also guilty of along with most other tourist destinations. If someone got robbed on Coz tho, had their room burglarized, if someone was drugged in their room and woke up the next day, etc - the reactions on island and on forum would be very different.

So how are the medical facilities on Bon, like for dealing with Scope poisoning...?

I have, as you have, agree that there is crime on the island, and it has increased. I have also stated as you have that "things are in the works to try and make it better", but due to unforseen circumstances such as the government situation, funds that are slated for improved situations has slowed thing down even more.

How you "Bonaire heads in the sand" people spin these words, misrepresent these words, lie about these words and do not understand what these words mean, illustrates your disregard for the truth. You gain nothing by not telling the truth, and, in fact, do a disservice to the island you profess to love.
