It seems there are a couple foreign business owners kileed execution style every week now in CR. The Russian dancers who were killed had wealthy businessmen as clients. The woman journalist who was killed execution style over near San Pedro also happened to specialize on reporting on business in CR. Anyways, something's going on and it isn't good.

What is the slander? Are you saying that this shit isn't going on? What is your view of the situation, if you have one?

So, there was a shooting at the Mardi Gra. What's your point? That it's just as dangerous and there's just as much crime in the U.S. as in CR? Get real. The percentages get WAY worse down in CR, especially if you have a little wealth. Then you become a big target. So Wolfie, I'm guessing that none of your friends or family members or co-workers ever complain that they were robbed down there. I had people coming to me every week with stories.
I post this shit so that people going down there at least know what they're walking into. CR is no longer any safer (nor less safe) than any other Latin-American country.

The notion of safety is relative, are there robberies/rapes here? yes, are there in the states? yes
do we have colombians/nicaraguans/costaricans trying to rob us yes? do you have al-qaeda trying to bombard your house with a 747? yes<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The U.S. is so much more safer to live in than Cr that it's not even worth discussing. The story that truthteller just mentioned...that happens all the time in CR. In the states I never even knew anyone that had something like that happen to them. Sure, murders, rapes, robberies happen everywhere. It's just that the percentages are so much higher in Cr than in the states. And it's everywhere in CR, not just mainly concentrated in poor neighborhoods, where it's possible to avoid.
Comparing the U.S. to CR is a joke, and wasn't my intention with this topic anyways. I wanted to call attention to the danger that foreign businessmen face in that peaceful little central-American country.
BTW, no one is going around in fear of al queda or any other dipshits that want to kill themselves. Most people don't ever even think about it. Besides, there are good people who's job is to deal with those scumbags and they're doing well stamping out those pieces of shit. God Bless America!

Thats why they got away with it, they were learning to fly (take off only) planes and living in the very state where you live
In addition to that
1) I was not comparing the US/CR, was just doing the same you did, pointing out a crime, they advertise trips to New Orleans in the newspapers here all the time, can you imagine if they would have hurt someone like ME
2) Another enlightment for you, the "dipshits" are not just trying to kill themselves, their actual goal is to take down a "few" others

Can only speak for my own experience here, but I feel safe in CR. The USA seems to have more of a gun culture, where as CR does not.
Never felt threatened, and feel good to be here. Don't know many people who have had trouble either. However, I'm sure crazy shit does happy, it is a 2nd world country after all.
Its nice living here for a few years with my family.
Sorry to hear that others are having a hard time with robberies etc though.

my point is that it gets a little old to see you posting the same stuff over and over and time again
we are going to start thinking that you have nothing else to do
if you are trying to say that CR is a shitty place to visit/put a company this is the wrong place to post that stuff actually, most of the rx readers are either customers of sportsbooks that don't care to visit a foreign country or owners of sportsbooks that have no choice but to set up their business outside the US because its a crime to do it there
of the available options for setting such a business CR is still the best

It can be nice for a while. But if the crime doesn't affect you, just give it a little time. You'll have family or friends coming to you with stories. It's a mathematical certainty.
