Why would you take it as applying to every retiree? It's a general statement about the general attitude of certain jamaicans who don't want to go back and do anything but what i said. For the ones who aren't thinking like those, then ignore. But there are plenty who want to put in their best working years in the US and everywhere else, and specifically avoid going back to ja til they are retired. Plus you said "over there" it sounds like you don't live there. I am talking about the ones who avoid ja on purpose til retirement. I don't care if they look like at 65 like sophia loren did at 35, that type is getting lumped in the group.
