we need to stop business with panama. when the government asks what’s going on about investments and tourism, then they would probably accept they have a social problem out of control, I think nobody wants to visit a country with a high rate of violence like Panama. I am planning to move out of this country by May 2010, I will return to the States. I am selling my property in Boquete. I won’t return to Panama.

PANAMA NEEDS A LOT OF PRAYERS.WHERE IN THE WORLD CAN ONE GET 8 YEARS FOR PREMEDITATED MURDER? WHAT A SHAME. HOW CAN A VISITOR
DEFEND HIMSELF/HERSELF AGAINST SUCH RANDOM VIOLENCE? MAYBE THE “RABIBLANCOS” WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE AN ANSWER BY 2050

PANAMA WITH 3.4 MILLION PEOPLE NEEDS LOTS OF PRAYERS. HOW CAN A 18 YEAR OLD GET 8 YEARS FOR MURDER? HOW CAN A 15 YEAR OLD SET FREE IN ONE DAY AFTER TAKING A LIFE? I WAS BORN THERE, AND NEVER BELIEVE THE COUNTRY WOULD COME TO SUCH A LOW LEVEL. DOES THE “SOBERS, BROWNS, MORGANS,SMITHS, HAVE ANY POSITION OF POWER? A DIPUTADO BECOMES A MILLIONAIRE IN 5 YEARS, WHILE THE POPULATION GO HUNGRY. SAD

Diablo Rojos gotta go. They, and the overall mayhem of Panama transit, should become a relic of Panama’s past. Improving transit in the City is a must, or the quality of living for all who reside there will worsen. The population of Panama City IS going to grow, so the City Planners need, well…a PLAN.

I not agree with yhis article. I’m Kuna. For many century Kuna People have living in Kuna Yala. Before Spanish people arrived to American Continent, Kunas people lived in some part of Colombia and their border covered beyond Punta Escribano, TODAY PART of Colon. Right Now we only have small part of land that originally we before had. So you this article is very wrong. You don`t know about thr History. In the other hand the author have to show respet to the traditional authorithy of the Kuna people. You are foreigner. Before you came to this lans, my people alredy lived in this continent for century.

I have been to Panama many time, it is a beautiful country, with lots of good hard working people, Crime is a big concern, all it take 2-3% of population to change things for the worst. I live in the US, and thing are just as bad. unemployment is 10.2%, crime is is clearly on the rise. The rest of us have to stay positive, I believe in brighter days are ahead.

Do not get me wrong, I think the Diablo Rojo buses are kinda cool and funky. But, Panama City needs to get rid of them.

Ik sluit me aan bij Guido, ook al heb ik je andere artikelen niet gelezen. Dit artikel is me doorgestuurd door een Kuna vriend, met de boodschap dat ik hier zelf wel mijn conclusies uit kon trekken en dat heb ik zeker gedaan.

Like Guido wrote earlier, harsh words and like others have mentioned your article seems to be written without much sense of history, context, or understanding of people in a situation different from your own or the everyday Western world. I certainly hope I will get the chance to reply to this with an article of my own.

Como Guido escribio antes, son palabras muy fuertes que utilizas y como han mencionado otros, su articulo parece ser escrito sin mucho comprension de la historia, contexto, ni entendimiento de gente en una situacion differente de la suya y del mundo ‘civilizado’ (como lo dice usted). Espero que tenga la oportunidad de responder en forma de un articulo.

Juan, are you threatening me with a libel suit? I’d say, bring it on!
