My Rant, So sorry Kahuna

[negril#1fan]

its truly sad, but its far from the same Negril when it comes to respect and safety... I've got 3 decades and 30 visits under my belt.... Some very bad stuff has happened as of late.... It always wise to be aware of your surroundings, but now you have to be hyper focused on it and that makes it "not worth it"....

Its up to those who live and work in Negril to correct the problem.... now...

This is NOT about Negril or Jamaica or America or Columbia!
This is one planet...one problem
This is about power, control and the distribution of wealth...
This is about the haves and the have nots...
This is about survival people!

Really,,O/K since you go with the Obama "mantra" tell me,,what is the line between the have & have nots? Whats the barometer? I mean who is rich and who isn't???

Gee,the kid whu BUST his ass all day on the beach selling the jucie does NOT rob? The fruit lady who carries like 30LBS on her head everyday does NOT rob...

Isnt it easier to sell drugs,sell your body for a quick 50-100 Bucks than work 3-4 weeks for that???Please stop with the have/have nots.

Gee,did Rob & Lisa not work TWENTY years to develop this site? Don't thy "deserve reward?"..... Here is my survival idea " bust the PUNK thief in the skull with a stick,he wont rob you anymore.

By the way,the writer said American only,no other country,so She made it about America,not me. Gee,guess if the Italian or Russian guys were talking about their Girls she wouldn't know because she does not talk that language.....Sorry,I am Proud to be American.

Not to be crass, but maybe in Jamaica the problem is more cultural than economic because elsewhere in the world there are many small, poor countries that don't rob tourists and don't beg as often.

Perhaps if Jamaican males would respect their lovers more and not produce multiple children, then leave the single moms behind, the kids would grow up having TWO parents instead of one, and then perhaps there would be a difference.

Dude, read that over a few times and then maybe use the edit feature if you see fit. It's 2014......and/but there is a fine line between freedom of speech and what you typed...edit son edit....

Never thought this would come out of my mouth but "Fred makes a good point!" I might not agree with all of it but ... LOL

Calm down people.

We all need to find the happy medium between being alarmist and naïve. Some of these comments (both positive and negative) really have me shaking my head.

Wow.

Hypocrisy, racism and misogyny rolled into such a short paragraph.

Wow.
