NBCC - The rest of the story/after story from Mrs. Gaynair

[brasi]

Stories like the one we heard about the theft (an obvious "agreement" between two consenting adults, and I am not JUDGING IT, ce la vie, but I would not myself ENGAGE in it) casts doubt on the real relationships that can develop between FRIENDS of the opposite sex in Jamaica.

The BIGGEST crime would be to judge everyone with the "arranged relationship" brush, or as Tic said, to jump to that conclusion every time. To do so, and ban a Jamaican from spending time anywhere in their own country because SOME people engage in those paid relationships, is not a tolerable offense. I understand why it's hard not to judge, but I hate the concept of relationships in Negril between a dark-skinned person and a light-skinned person being suspect. If I get that feeling at a resort, I won't stay there.
