Don't we get one of these stories every winter in a Canadian newspaper?

I haven't figured out if they are warning people or advertising for ummmm skankies? Is the word sankies been registered so they came up with a new version?

skankie = sex-only tourism?

sankie = heartbreak, financial ruin tourism?

This author makes it sound like the "western" (???) women (guess that excludes Canada & US as we are from the north LOL) come here only for sex and then leave. She also quotes:

Quote:
but a burgeoning trend which continues to wreak havoc on a Caribbean culture and a family culture already in crisis. "
as if the poor "skankies" are being taken advantage of and we should feel sorry for them!

She couldn't even get the name of the country right - Dominican not Dominican Republic (for those who that upsets greatly LOL)

When did the dress codes change - never once in any disco, bar etc. did I ever see the men going around without shirts on!!!

Then she states that these guys are "known as beach boys" - guess that gets the animation staff off the hook

Maybe this author should have stayed away from this situation

Quote:
through the rum and the pounding music
and got the story right before writing it!!

What a worthless article!

I agree Marlie, the article makes it seems that "skankies" are prostitutes, and not what they really are, ..........wait maybe a skankie is different than a sankie?
