OMG, jet-skis should be banned!

[neeray]

Where I live on the shore of Lake Ontario in Canada, these "things" often swarm like a bunch of mosquitos. I've been a boater all my life but never owned, or had any appreciation for, a jet ski. Except for racing and wave jumping on the water, I see no pleasure or value to them. Many are just a menace.

Welcome to Thailand, you can die on the roads, in your hotel, or in the sea! Thailand should maybe start promoting itself as an 'EXIT' location

Ban these dangerous killing machines driven by airheads. Jet skis, that is.

Do you provide explanations or justifications for the emojis that you apply to other members' posts?
