Due to the fact that there seem to be so many foreigners who have questions, or issues with some Jamaican they know or are involved with, and who think that there's something about those persons being Jamaican that makes them that way, I'm putting up this Public Service Announcement to help y'all out.

1. No, all Jamaicans don't act like the person you're involved with. Jamaican people have different personalities and are individuals - just like people that live wherever it is you came from.

2. Not all Jamaicans take advantage of people. Some do, just as some people in the USA or Canada, or England, or France take advantage of people.

3. If you are gullible, you will find someone to take advantage of your gullibility. Learn to think and act smart with your life and relationships.

4. Yes, if you feel that your Jamaican "friend" is using you, and not treating you with respect, then for crying out loud, stap deal wid dem nuh? Weh yuh a hem an' haw 'bout eeeh? Yuh clearly know weh a gwaan. So unless yuh waan fi get played, step outa di situation nuh? Gorsh!

5. Yes, come to Jamaica, make friends, have a good time, but please, get to know people before you get deeply mixed up with them. It's just common sense.

Tanks.

Who the cap fits, let them wear it! It don't take a rocket scientist to figure out that all men/women are not the same. Even everyone in the whole world has a different set of finger prints. Who is stereotyping. I have not seen one person on this site do that, have you?

When people read threads, I find that alot of them just scan through them, instead of reading the full content of the thread to come to the correct understanding on what is exactly being said by the writter.

It is wise to read and know what the person is talking about in full. Instead of running of and making untruthful accusations and getting people stirred up.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I have.

It is also wise to avoid stereotypical generalizations based on limited experiences, since that makes it likely for you to completely miss the real root cause of your problems.

These women focus so much on the fact that the man is Jamaican, that they lose sight of plain, simple common sense.

What I say is what I say and how anyone takes it is their problem not mine. People can think what they like all day long, of how they feel. But don't look at it through my eyes and form an opinion because those are my experiences. Take hold of your own experiences which may differ from mine and form your own opinions from what you know and not what you think you know.

I don't see my experiences as a problem it was just experiences and that that no big deal. And again I did not say that ALL men are alike in any walk of life so I did not steretype so get it right.. I think you are the one with the problem of not understanding what I am saying but it's okay because I not trying to sell you or anyone else on my experiences, people need to have their own experiences, because I already know what I know and that's all that I need to know. Case Closed!
