malaise (268,226 posts)
One of these days Jamaicans will fight back over the privatization of our public beaches. This planet is sick.

WTF is this drunk hag talking about

She's claiming it's a public area, but that's unlikely the case. Most resort hotels in Jamaica (and in all the Caribbean, for that matter) are for guests only and those natives who work there are allowed on the property. These resorts are generally surrounded by a security walls, are well guarded, and are mostly located in Montego Bay, and to a lesser degree Ocho Rios. Jamaica is not a safe tourist destination unless you are staying at one of these hotels. Kingston, where the drunken Christine lives, is a dump and doesn't really attract tourists.
I've been to Jamaica a few times and as Caribbean islands go it's OK. But there's several other islands that are much nicer and I see no reason to ever go back.
I suspect the Jamaican gov't likes its tourist dollars more than they're going to listen to some kooks wanting everything to be made public that's currently private. But it's fun to watch them complain.
Edit: I think I found where's she's referencing. It's Errol Flynn Marina in Port Antonio. Private marina with a pool and restaurant(s). Pretty exclusive area. If this woman really wants to live in Jamaica, I suggest she move to Kingston in an area without much, if any, security where she can learn about what being a foreigner in Jamaica is all about.

mal is a Marxist Socialist who wants government to seize private property.
:spork: The very mental picture of mal lounging or waddling on a beach in a swimsuit is one I'd gladly forgo. :spork:

I used to go there pretty frequently in the 80s and Kingston was a shit hole garbage in the streets goats and pigs running loose and crime was a problem. Then when they were about to have elections to get rid of Manly, it was a lot of political violence.
If it wasn’t for tourism and marijuana, the place would have no economy.

That image could be useful for medical situations in which vomiting is required...

If they opened the beaches up to the public, it wouldn’t take long till it look like this.

It would take approximately 4 days to look like that under such conditions.
