A deal that looks to good to be true is never a good deal. Common sense should prevail. Nothing is free, not even in the paradise that is San Pedro.

Your turn, sport.

hmmmmmm never gave it a thought that pseudonyms were the ideas behind chat boards. I thought the idea behind them was idea & knowledge sharing, but what do I know, I'm just a gringo

ps: anyone else see a ghostwriter here?

Some of this "food for thought" is about to make me vomit. SIN, you are way off base with some of your remarks. Especially the ones attacking and name calling. You get on your high horse and think you have a right to tell others that their opinions on Belize only matters when they agree with yours or are positive about Belize. When Belize opens it's doors to tourism, they are asking for "customers" and they should listen to what their customers have to say. That doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say, but you should at least have the courtesy to listen and not degrade them for their comments.

I really get tired of you Belizeans that have the attitude "it's my country and don't tell me how to run it". Well the fact is, you have sold off a lot of your country to others and that gives them a right to have imput on how it is run just as a customer has a right to comment on what they are spending their money for.

Now if we want to get into a discussion on how well Belizeans are running their country, lets do that and then you will really have something to get upset about because you won't like what many people will have to say about that.

I entered into this discussion and offered my views supporting some of what you are advocating. I said I was in the camp that did not think on the whole timeshare was good for Belize, but I felt there was relevant points that were not being fully supported.

When you write the type of personal attacks that you have, you degrade your agrument and help to make the points of those condeming what you are trying to promote. Plus, it really upsets me when you try and hide behind the flawed argument, "I am a Belizean and don't you people try and tell me anything about my country." You do a grave disservice to your country and fellow Belizeans.

PS: It appears you, or some level headed moderator, deleted the offensive post you wrote that I was refering to. A good thing. It is also a good thing you are not known personally to some of us. Remarks like you made might tend to generate a personal attack with more than just words.

P.P.S.: I hope the people you slandered did not see your deleted post. If they did, you owe them an apology.

sin some fellow borders said you said not nice things about me and personally attack me ,,shame on you , that you lost it like that, and had to stoop so low .let me know who you realy are so we can personaly discuss this man to man in person or man to women ??? when I am down next trip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.you seemed like a Intelligent person till you lost your cool ..now you made good topic and conversation personal and got the wrong person mad at you trust me on that .... to have one enemy is one two many .let see if you reveal your true person .my bet is do not have the nerve..

And furthermore, with an attitude like "tourism is whoreism", you are assuring failure. In the 36 plus years I have been enjoying Belize and Belizeans, I have attributed a good part of my enjoyment to the attitudes of the people, just as so many on this board refer to. To keep in the context of the metaphor "tourism is whoreism", when the people who invited me to come here start faking orgasm, it will eventually become obvious and the enjoyment will not be the same.
When you start viewing your invited guest IE. your customers in the negative context of "Johns" and your people providing the services as "whores", you are on the road to failure.

I hope for the sake of Belize, people like you SIN, are in the minority. There are enough of you trying to destroy your resources now for the short term gain. There are enough of your "elected politicians" robbing the country blind. I hope there will be voices of reason from your countrymen that will want to listen to all views and not take the attitude "it is MY country and don't try and tell me how to run it". I don't want you or any Belizean to be saying in the future, "it was My country and I sure wish someone would have told us how to run it."

I think I have spent enough time, money and have enough genuine concern for Belize and my friends there to have the right to speak my mind. If you don't like that SIN, you would be much better off directing your criticism and derogatory remarks to your fellow countrymen that are doing far more damage to the future of your country than any tourist coming to visit.

I missed thje post -was he rude about me?
please tell this new Belizean

SIN _Being that wonderfully law abiding Mr. Chris Burkey-salesman to the rich and famous

pedro1 I did not know that he had other intrests other then the time share ,is this the guy from costa,maya why would he attack me,is he out of mind I liked that guy ?????????

Oh! do not worry Capt Jeff -timeshare is a sideline he actually has a far busier business,andI believe a much more profitable one,-I am just not too sure if legality fits into his psyche.
