Today, we can see the following unsavoury Discussion Headlines on the main page:
$ 30K Reward for Information...
8 ft Snake...
...meeting regarding murder of Stig Pedersen
Ron McGrew Murder conviction...
Follow-up on Ozzie, Bill...
What are planes spraying...
Generous return on investment...
If I were a potential and first time visitor to Boquete, I would probably have second thoughts about going to a place with all these "creatures".
Perhaps the administrator should create a separate page called "tabloid stuff" and reserve the main page for more "potable" stuff that everybody enjoys reading...

This is the regular gear to use when posting at Boquete.ning
Walt, are you restless, irritable and discontent? Head to the nearest Liquor store and buy the cheapest Vodka they have and drink 4, 4 finger glasses and then comment on the state of affairs in Panama, particularly Boquete. Vodka always gives a better outlook on life depending how much you imbibe. If you drink enough of this Vodka you will pass out due to the ether by volume in alcohol. Have someone monitor your behavior after the 4 glasses. And please don't drive and endanger the rest of us.
Cheers,
Hil Jenkins
No sense in disillusionment. Primitive for some is paradise for others and vice versa. Personally, if I thought my quality of life would improve elsewhere, I'd probably be there.
Actually, all the discussions you quote are current events, even if a few are frivolous.

Um, an 8 ft boa snake is actually really good news. The murder of said snake, on the other hand, not so much... bloody pictures would fit pretty well with La Prensa, though.

I would agree. Furthermore, I wouldn't belong to a *ning that would have me as a member.
In my heart of hearts, I believe that everyone should ex-patriate to Hoboken, New Jersey.
Go away, you loony gringos!!

Hey, this is a forum for down-and-outs, lost-souls, mal-contents, practicing-trolls, know-it-alls, run-aways, wanna-do-gooders, medicine-men/women, newborn/reborn-shysters, retired special-forces, and I-caught-Ozzie detectives.
Lay back, relax, and enjoy it for the good mind-rape that it is.
There are lots of great gringos in Boquete who are enjoying each day here without any help from Ning.
Where do you see yourself in the above group, Bill?
I am definitely a run-away, and proud of it.
Some would probably say I am trollish, but it's actually just a lack of tolerance -- a character flaw that even I recognize.
Be nice -- I didn't include used-car salesmen in my list ;-)
By the way Walter - it's called getting "Lynnied". Just ignore her and eventually she'll go away...
I like your idea about starting a "happy" discussion - most everyone I know here seems to be that way due to living here.
Lynnie doesn't go away -- it's the bad rash that some people get. They treat it and treat it and treat it to finally they think it's gone, but just when they think they're safe, the bad rash comes back with a vengeance and is even worse. Boquete Ning has been LynnieFected and it ain't going away.
