Maybe our money would be better spent teaching them the proper use of grammar and how to spell?

You know, I always wonder when I read these things, I can never decide if I am should be mad
at the actual person or some SOB trying to make them look bad by spoofing a letter.

I mean really, how better to raise anger than to forge a letter with anti - American content.

Just a thought.

I accept his advice; I'll spend my $$ elsewhere 'cause this new fee
structure is too rich for my blood. Let's see what his comments are
after living a couple of years with a significantly reduced flow of
income from tourist $$.

Uhhh - This is getting to be a bit much...actually I am getting to the point
of suspecting an agent provocateur.

It is reasonably clear that "yachtbroker" is the primary, if not only,
bahamaian responding on this topic. He is sufficently polarizing and
consistent that I doubt he is for real...

Remaining choices...a really dumb input from someone in the Bahamas (gov or
otherwise) trying to pour gasioline on the dispute or some idiot who is
trying to inflame the US response. Under any circumstances I would presume
"yachtbroker" should be ignored.

Yea, and soon you'll be getting an invitation to have a private banking
transaction from him to get the $21.5 million USD that his dead uncle left
in the Bahamian treasury.

The point is that anyone can post any view point on that site. So a
person who is against the new fees can post a fake message that makes
the people of the Bahamas look bad.

Remember, while the net has its good points there is also a lot of
stuff that has been faked to further the goals of a given
person/party.

Dosn't look all that edited to me other than cutting some profanity.

I have to agree that the Bahamian government has made a big mistake.
The islands already have the highest tourist dissatisfaction rate (12%)
of any tourist oriented country in the world. This is just going to
make it worse. Bimini and Walker Key are really going to be hurt
quickly but overall this is just another nail in the coffen of Bahamian
tourism. There is even some backlash building among travel agents
booking non-boating tourists. The way this fee was handled on top of
the high dissatisfaction rate is going to have an effect on all tourist
bookings, not just our boating comunity.

OTOH, the Bahamian citizens' view is a little different. Most of their
objections about depleting resources is bogus but they do have a couple
of valid points. We can enter the Bahamas with a drivers licence. With
the PATRIOT act in effect, they have to pay $100 for a single entry visa
application which is not refundable if the visa is rejected and 214(b)
rejections are quite common. In their mind it just evens the playing
field.

Looks like Van Sant is going to have to find another thorny path.

Obviously, many people don't have a clue on what capitalism is all about.
Everyone is "entitled" to this or "entitled" to that. Responsibility for
ones lot in life certainly doesn't seem to fall on the individual anymore,
it falls on the government.

If one can't afford a Disneyland ticket, there should be a new tax on rich
people that will subsidize one for me.

The attitude of all the Napster (and its derivatives systems) users runs
rampent --- everyone makes up their own morals.

We are becoming a nation of whiners rather than a nation of doers.

Not that I have any strong feeling on the issue...

come on! what kind of comments do you expect when bringing up a site named
"boycottXY.com"? That's ridiculous...

BTW: I just can't understand why everybody from US complains. You should
know how capitalism works. Someone owns a rare good (lets say a beautiful
island near continental US) and sets the price that matches market demand.

If you can't affort a Disneyland ticket: don't go there. If you can't
affort
the Bahamas cruising fee: don't go there. Thats it.
