HarryS,
I am sorry if the facts conflict with your opinions. I am not sure why I am not allowed to present the facts.
I understand you have strong feelings about Negril and Jamaica. But facts are facts. They are not subject to any opinion, just simply what they are, facts.
You stated "Safer in Jamaica than a major city in the USA... Not true."
Harry, this is FALSE. According to your own FBI, both St. Louis and Baltimore, of which both are major USA cities, have higher per capita murder rates than Jamaica. As you said, there are statistics for this and your claim is not true.
You also stated "Go ahead, say it doesn't happen to tourists. Not exactly true. There are plenty of stories out there about crime against tourists."
Well, yes, I agree there are always stories, but stories are stories. The Negril Rumor Mill is filled with all kinds of stories. We have had many posted here over the years.
But in this case the facts show otherwise. For the nearly 2 million USA visitors to Jamaica each year, the number of incidents of any reported crime, let alone murder, are far below the rate of any USA major city even remotely that size. So your second claim is also false. This is based on all the available facts and statistics.
Harry, we have been over this before. Just because you strongly believe something does not make it a fact.
And so you know, and for the record, what I am saying has nothing to do with manipulating your words or because this is a tourism website. Negril.com is here to provide the best, most reliable and truthful information about Negril so our visitors have the best time possible.
It serves us no purpose to mislead or cover up anything that will effect our guests vacation time. To think that this is even possible in this age of the Internet is absurd. And personally I am getting tired of repeating myself about this.
