Naive

Without trying to be disrespectful to anyone on this forum or anyone reading this forum BUT:-

I feel everyone who has been educated, schooled seems to have a nicy nicy outlook on life and human behings and maybe only sees the world from the perspective of their mindset.

Remember in all walks of life the human has brains which work differently to each others. Some genetic and some transformed via damage whether it be physical or mental damage or other trauma like war and death.

So i feel that you all need to remember that people are very tribal, easily coerced and sometimes take a dim view of rich, happy tourists walking their paths with bright, naive, idealistic outlooks on their minds.

IN THIS INSTANCE after the 14th arrest has been made, i very much doubt it was some innocent random accidental sexual gone wrong killing, but an opportunist premeditated and organised killing which has backfired on the organisation as ever...Though in real terms served to great effect by alarming and scaring such other people from travlling such similar paths in future.

So please remember even the tourists who travel to Wales are met with indiffent thoughts and feelings by the indiginous locals. And we are allegedly civilised! So around the world everyone should be very much aware that often they are not welcome or disliked in their pursuits of roaming freely. Wasnt it Barcelona who ampage to rid the English from purchasing all the properties so the locals no find they have no where cheap to live and no community due to all this etc...This is worldwide with the Welsh burning English owed cottages due to same issue. South Africa now turning the tables on Blacks/Whites ownership of land...In my view all quite right and i personally am disgusted with humans, their mentalities and lack of respect or care for the indiginous people of each land....Seems capitalism has over ruled genuine care for countries and people etc..

With my name being Christian...I am perhaps more aware than most.Being Welsh and very Tribal i understand what its like to be Dictated and governed by a foreign country

Maybe we should be less diplomatic and politically correct in our public views and opinions of the world and say it as it is from here on in?

These tourists were killed as a part of an ongoing new Tribal Political statement from the Fed up disgruntled Muslims!!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
