Still a little bent? You really are that desperate for tourism to return to normal aren't you?
Hey, taking out your anger over the Media's portrayal of Rocky Point and Mexico in general with me isn't going to get you anywhere. Sorry if I touched a nerve pointing out that your hysterical 'defense' of RP doesn't work on most people and asking you to come up with a better argument. All you really did was post an extended ad hominum attack.
Some of the longtime posters know I'll play Devils Advocate from time to time, if you like to call it trolling that's fine but wrong. Sorry if you devoted too much time to this nonsense. I don't care one iota what you think of my credibility or integrity as the people here who know me won't be jumping on your bandwagon. It's too bad you didn't to a little more research other than counting my posts as you would have probably found out that not only have I been going to RP since 1982 my brother owns property there. I think it's so dangerous I was recently trying to organize a motorcycle ride with some of my sportrider friends. We were even going to head down through Sasabe or maybe even farther east. What would have been nice is if you had come up with something less emotional because even those deathtrap riding adrenaline junkies are too afraid to ride into Mexico and I've given up trying to convince them. Researching the articles was fun for me but disappointing on how little factual information is out there especially RP specific. It's mostly real estate agents using bogus stats, like that crime index someone posted up, and anecdotes. Mexico and RP in particular have a long way to go to convice people that it's relatively safe, and it might be a lost cause. A lot of is "If you don't go you don't know" but even some people who went in their High School or College spring break days aren't going to go back with their families. I had one friend who went with me for years who just up and decided it wasn't worth it to him anymore. We never had any problems on our trips but the media just got to him I guess.
The latest round with that massacre at the Y, swine flu, shootout in Acapulco, and the 38 kids killed in that daycare doesn't help. I didn't even bring up building codes, guess I missed one! I don't know if I can read over the last few pages again as I might convince myself!
Here's a project for you: Why don't you go on that Viper forum and try to change those peoples minds. Use your hysterical defense or maybe try something more reasonable. Reading your "bandito" page shows you might need to rethink your strategy of choice though. The way you are doing it just gets people to dig in their heels and stay home.
You've said before that this stuff makes you 'crazy angry', maybe that's the problem.
