Squaters in Negril Removed...

[Westenders]

Booger I do have a strong opinion, my own though based on years of travel there and my own conversations with many people in addition to my husband, isn't that how we all learn about others experience of life?? I also work in the field of child poverty and child protection, so have my own professional opinion about why things there are like they are.
Of course my husband has an opinion, he is and will always be Jamaican and grew up in negril. So he kind of does have it figured out. What an inane point lol.
Not surprised at the personal jab, seems to be the culture of this board. So sorry I'm not a boardie clone, with different opinions. That being said I am not referring to all boardies, but it's laughable at the same few on here that will jump on the same train no matter what.
You have your own opinions, based on what? many holidays there, mixing with a small amount of Jamaicans , who will always see you as a foreigner., oh and the experiences of hanging out with boardies there!! Please don't belittle my opinions without some self reflection. Your post was pointless in the discussion of this issue. Sorry that my guru is my husband and not Rob (sarcasm intended)

Also probably unlike most of you, I don't return to a non Jamaican / possibly white world in the uk....

Rob as I stated I haven't lived there, that's what I said, but your opinions and experiences are yours based on your own experience living there. To invalidate my viewpoints also serves to invalidate the majority of your customers ' boardies' on here as neither have most of them. I acknowledge that you have a lot of knowledge and experience, but I think your viewpoint is very clearly against the squatting, mine is not. We will have to be grown up and agree to disagree about this issue. I respect your knowledge, but your not an expert on Jamaica and neither am I. I wouldn't even claim to be an expert on the uk, and I live here.

You have a great deal of influence in others on this board, but hope others reading can see there are many sides to a situation.
Great that you have people you talk to that have a shared view, but as I said there are many other Jamaicans that have different views, there and here.

6000 people is a lot of people, I have never seen you there at any time, so clearly the place is big enough to move in different circles. Neither do I frequent the places you promote on here and hang out at.

I will politely decline your suggestion to give the people I know a message about land, I think they know more about it than you or I.

I agree with your point about some people being able to succeed no matter what their personal hurdles, but without knowing the back story of these other individuals, you can't make sweeping generalisations. That's just how I feel about it, I'm not judging anyone.

That's the end of my back and forth on this... Its like throwing a stone in a pond and watching the ripple posting on this board. I could put money on the people who 'have a jab'
As obaygirl said, the board has many opinions and experiences, which make the discussion interesting and raises all our awareness. The personal comments made to people with an opinion you don't like is cowardly, it's easy to be a d*** online.
