    Not to be crass, but maybe in Jamaica the problem is more cultural than economic because elsewhere in the world there are many small, poor countries that don't rob tourists and don't beg as often.

    Perhaps if Jamaican males would respect their lovers more and not produce multiple children, then leave the single moms behind, the kids would grow up having TWO parents instead of one, and then perhaps there would be a difference.

    Dude, read that over a few times and then maybe use the edit feature if you see fit. It's 2014......and/but there is a fine line between freedom of speech and what you typed...edit son edit....

    Wow.

    Just wow.

    Hypocrisy, racism and misogyny rolled into such a short paragraph.

    Wow.

    Wow.
    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.

    Yeah sure if you want to nit-pick, it could be considered an unfair "blanket statement"... but c'mon I think we all know that he isn't referring to ALL Jamaican men. Just keeping it real. It's a freaking problem over there.

    The whole point of this thread has been totally derailed and misconstrued IMO
    Stir IT UP

    LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Baby Daddy is a big issue in Jamaica..... I wonder if Ancestry.com does business in Jamaica.

    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.
