c'mon people! I want to look forward to this trip like in the old days..before the 'incident'. Lets just all agree that we need to pay more attention to our surroundings..be kind... and have a great time..all tied up in a bow? Yes, all tied up in a bow!
I agree with gerryg123....100%
Really though? I didn't think Gerry's post was racist or misogynistic at all. He said nothing about skin color, and his statement was on behalf of the women that are left to struggle ??? I mean no disrespect, but I do think you're turning a blind eye to a very real problem in Jamaica, that Gerry pointed out, though not very gently i'll give you that.Quote:

The whole point of this thread has been totally derailed and misconstrued IMO
LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Baby Daddy is a big issue in Jamaica..... I wonder if Ancestry.com does business in Jamaica.Quote:

Gerry, you face has been on here so much, that you should probably just stay out of Jamaica. Just sayin', if I were you I would be scared, and this is not a threat just a thought.
You're right tizzy. It has been derailed, and I contributed. I will keep my thoughts on the issue I commented on to myself. My addition is in no way helping with the discussion.Quote:

Women can be misogynistic....
Gerry has lost his ability to edit.Quote:

Some people in todays society cant handle the truth.
But Gee,according to the now silent Dash,all we have to do is donate money to the church and all crime will go away?
LOL, Flip!
WHAAAA? You're telling me that kind of thing happens here in the good 'ol US of A? haha I had to tap into my sense of humor for this one because dude that's my reality, so please...... And brace yourself because this might come as a shock.....not all of us single moms pop out baby after baby by different men, and collect a check from the gvmt, some of us actually work hard to take care of our own. And those that do choose to just piggyback....well fortunately for the kids, there are resources that help keep them fed and clothed, when mom doesn't feel like it's her responsibility :rolleyes:Quote:

I can tell you for fact that life in Jamaica is a little bit more harsh and unforgiving for the single moms and their children. I really do apologize if this sounds like a rant in itself, it's a topic that hits close to home and I could keep going but my head might explode.....and yall probly don't wanna hear it anyways lol
I guess we all see things from our own personal perspectives....
Well said Tizzy....I totally get what you are saying. I don't see why it's so hard for some people to see this dynamic??
I am silent because I know that there is no response that will cut through your sarcasm. You grossly misinterpret what I have posted for your own bitter use. You win.Quote:

Some people are part of the solution. They give us hope...
Other people are part of the problem. They lead us toward extinction.
You always make it very clear, Fred Flintstone, to which group you belong....
Fortunately for us...Love Wins!! :)
That made me laugh out loud and spit out my coffee!Quote:

Anybody seen Jimmy Hoffa lately?? :cool:
Peace and Guidance
You are a quality dude, dash!Quote:

I don't either Butch. But I think Jaherring was right in that some just can't handle that kind of reality, and others just can't step outside of their selves long enough to care. Or maybe they are too lazy to walk a mile ;)Quote:

As a Ghetto cop I have given CPR to a dying black infant also to an already dead black man because his family was looking and wanted "hope"..Quote:

If you were confronted with a JrkOff thief,you would Wish I was with you my friend.... This is Real life,but Not mad at ya an not bragging BUT???
It aint easy being Fred Stripe,,,Rob !!!!!
Fred I'm not one to judge people at all....but how do you go to Jamaica and smoke weed if you are a cop in the states and arrest people for doing that very same thing??? Not sure why I'm asking you that, but you yourself said you like "stirring the pot" on here....thought I would help you out a bit in doing just that!
Maybe he is the nice kind of cop that only confiscates the weed...;)
Fred ur a COP? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That was the funniest thing I heard all day
I believe Fred is a former cop. Is not uncommon for retired cops to partake in the ganj. There are actually a few on this board.
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Fred's sense of humor is in tact lol
YES,,I am a hypocrite,,Yes I smoke weed,,,,Which is Now and should have been legal..Gee,kinda ignore the saving lives/catching bad guys/chasing guys with GUNS thingy huh??? I don't need any Validation,but If I saw you needed help I would be the first there...
Not bragging but I decided to "show" myself after all the attacks. This is Just a msg board folks.
Now,,,back to why I love Jamaica and have been there 18 times....
Ha Fred...like I told you...I don't take any of this stuff too serious! I agree/disagree with plenty on this board but rarely chime in...because you are right, it's just a message board and everything should be taken with a grain of salt. But I just had to kick the bee's nest when the iron was hot!! lol.....have a great day everyone
Once again son,,,, I had to...I was a hypocrite,yes.....By the by......I let about 50% go for nickel bags,,,,,I did High crime son.When you applied for your job and they asked,,do you drink?Quote:
