I sort of agree. I never liked Seinfeld or Friends so I won't discuss that. But I enjoy older episodes of Martin more than Fresh Prince. But some FP episodes still hit the nostalgic feels.
The Bahamas has one of the highest crimes rates in the world, makes America look a safe haven in comparison so with violence being so normalized there I could see why you see violence as justifiable in this situation.

I wish I liked Seinfeld more. My wife loves it. It's weird cause I like curb which is supposedly the same type of humor. But the Seinfeld characters are extra dry and ashy to me.

context kinda matters..
we are a small nation, as a result of being a small nation although we only win a gold medal or two, we usually win the summer Olympics on a per capita basis
while we have crime, as any nation does, it’s mostly amongst certain groups and certain areas
for example, we have never had a school shooting in our country’s history.. let alone had multiple elementary school children killed at once
Yeah the size isn't as important when they do the crime rate numbers as it's a census thing. Bahamas is extremely violent even for American standards. I assume that's a cultural thing.

have you ever been to the Bahamas?
Went to the cove for a vacation with the fam. Didn't venture out past the resort.

Yea if you took a small sample size of certain states or cities in America they would be one the highest crime rate in the world. Can't compare a nation of 300 million people who are relatively inhomogenous to the Bahamas

at any point of your trip were you concerned about violence in any form?
Well if you take that sample size and it says that place has a high crime rate then it does in fact have a high crime rate.
Why would I be concerned about violence on a resort? Also, what does any of this have to do with the Bahamas having one of the highest crime rates in the world?

you could just say no
i was about to take my 4 year old nephew to aventura mall and luckily we decided to eat at my aunt’s house because this happened:
Shoppers seen running for their lives in video of shooting at Aventura Mall
In the video, dozens of people were sitting in the mall, including young children, when the gunfire erupted.
Our personal anecdotes have nothing to do with this topic. America is violent, you won't hear anyone deny that... But the Bahamas is even more violent.you could just say no

Yea so do many places in the U.S. Especially poor trashy places. Every country has them.

you have visited my country for how many days?
i lived in your country for 8 years for school and have been visiting since birth
ive watched American television, listened to American music, watched American movies, consumed American food and products
and yet you speak of culture
I'm speaking on crime rates which happen to be representative of cultures. Get out your feelings homie. You don't own none of that land and you can't take it with you when you die.

A person is more likely to be a victim of violent crime in the Bahamas than they are in the US.
A person is more likely to be murdered in the Bahamas than they are in the US.
Those are simply the facts based on the crime rates and murder rates.
Whether a tourist felt safe at a resort doesn’t change that reality. A shooting at a mall in the US doesn’t change that reality.

I want disagreeing with you either poor places in poor countries amongst certain populations have high crimes rates, word to New Orleans or the entire state of Mississippi.

how many Bahamians do you actual know?
other than those who worked at the hotel, drove you there and worked at the airport, how many Bahamians have you spoken to in real life?
What culture did you actual experience in your handful of days at the cove?
