Nice sarchasm…did you think of that one yourself? I guess there are those that will just never get it…good luck!
Brilliant Lotus! I just about pee’d my pants laughing about Mrs. Lupe and the Ipod. You obviously have your head firmly on your shoulders.
What this all boils down to is the most basic law of attraction. If you think about violence and worry about violence, then violence will be attracted to you. Most of you are referring to victimization…well, if you live like you will be victimized, then that is exactly what will happen to you. Even attending anti-war demonstrations or signing gun control legislation does not help…these things only breed more war and more guns, because that is where the focus is put. If we want to live in a peaceful society (and in a county like CR where there isn’t even an army)then we must turn our attention away from violence and towards more peaceful intentions….ultimately, what you think about most will be the things that are drawn to you.
If it is your right to arm yourself, then it is your right indeed. But if you think we live in a free society you are mistaken. Think government regulation and the multiple paths that can take you on and you’ll think twice about a free society…
It’s not a ridiculous or unsubstantiated statement to say that “arming yourself only causese the criminals to arm themselves”. Why do you think people arm themselves in the first place? One action leads to another action. Why do you think we have military support in most countries? Because “we” believed that there was a need to arm ourselves to protect ourselves against others invading our country, stealing our property, hurting our familes. This goes back thousands of years! How would we ever arm ourselves if weapons were never created? Violence breeds violence…it’s that simple!
I agree that there are reforms that need to occur but this is a “band aid” solution at best. Just look what is happening in North America! We have guns, military, police, prisons, judicial systems, etc. and this part of the world is more dangerous than ever.
Do we need to get into Virginia? Do we need to get into Bush’s crusade on terrorism? I can list at least a dozen other examples.
If people have the right to arm and defend themselves in Costa Rica then I guess that is the law and we have to live by it…but please don’t suggest that firearms are not creating more issues than they are solving…that is ridiculous and unsubstantiated!
I couldn’t agree more…to say that you should arm yourself is completely ridiculous. With all due respect to D.J. Buckner, this kind of thinking is exactly the reason the U.S. is a country that lives in fear and is fueled by the media. Turn on any American news program and this is exactly what you see because violence sells multiple forms of media…print, television, or otherwise.
Arm yourself and that is exactly what you will attract, more criminals that are armed.
Protect yourself and your family, absolutely. But to say the only way to do this is by taking up arms is absurd. I believe fear breeds fear…guns breed more guns…and paranoia of violent crime will ultimately lead to more violent crime.
The world is a more violent place now because we have made it that way by sensationalizing crime through all media channels and telling people that essentially, “we need to protect ourselves” at all costs because there is some thug waiting around the corner to get us.
You ever notice that the ones that focus their energy on negative things end up drawing negative actions into their life? Hmmmm…
I agree about not giving money up front but most developers are asking for a deposit on the property then payments spread over 4 stages…this has been my experience.
Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the bad apples!
Any recommendations?
Thanks for the link…your right a little shaky but interesting to look at at.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks very much…I’ll check out the video. Scott, you sound like you having the working life of a North American.
This is how I would read into it as well. The land fronting the “marine park” would not be included in the protected zone. Carefully chosen words when marketing a development is a powerful sales tool. None the less, this appears to be a beautiful project.
Scott, do you have any feedback on the Soulea condo development?
