"...The statement I am refering to is this one:<br />"As anywhere else in the world, South African government officials only complicate the lives of others, not theirs."<br /><br />Having basic diving equipment on your boat could mean that you're a poacher, or it could mean that you're just diving. Guess which argument the poachers use? The Govt is trying to save the marine life in the area - and kudos to them for doing so, but you've decided to make disparaging statements about how it impacts your own pleasure. <br />How would you suggest they tackle this problem? Racial profiling is how the US have addressed the "flying terrorist problem" and we've seen how sucessful that one is.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862456555843381366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440535585058130391.post-63496708594585032872010-03-25T15:11:06.864-04:002010-03-25T15:11:06.864-04:00Kim:

I am probably too dumb to get what you mean.<br /><br />Did I say I wanted to poach? What makes me "no different from any other poacher"? <br /><br />What I do understand, however, is that you seem to have a problem with "race". Where did I make a reference, openly or implicitly, to "racial profiling?.<br /><br />Go well, Kim, and get a life.Wolfgang Leanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551908280834632513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440535585058130391.post-52254569028759279812010-03-25T09:48:38.590-04:002010-03-25T09:48:38.590-04:00Hi Kim - sad to see you go.

What makes you different from any other diver or poacher out there? Would you like US-style racial profiling? I know of a number of white divers who take abalone (admittidly for their own use) I find sometimes you make selfish statements that insuate that you're better and therefore should receive different treatment. This is not so. I'm cancelling my following of this blog as I don't believe that you have anything constructive to say.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862456555843381366noreply@blogger.com
