<span style="font-weight: bold">BARBADOS: Lawyer wants dancehall shows banned</span>

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – An attorney is expressing concern about the prevalence of drug use and the social impact of the “slack lyrics” in performances of Jamaican dancehall artistes and has called for a ban of such shows in Barbados.

Alan Carter, a Jamaica national, put forward his position while representing an 18 year-old who was caught with marijuana in at a Vybz Kartel concert last Saturday.

When asked by the magistrate hearing the case if such shows should be stopped, Carter said they should be.

“It would be going against some of our constitutional rights to attend and listen to what a person chooses but we can see where some of these things are heading in society.

“There are quite a number of slack lyrics coming out of these shows and the atmosphere coming out seems to create the need for a high,” the lawyer said, adding that due to a shortage of positive male role models the court system was being forced to deal with the fall out.

His client was given 200 hours of community service as his punishment.

As for the naming him Jamaican it make no difference. He is a poor attorney, that is why he have to practice over there.

So this reporter believe that by saying it was put forward by a Jamaican mean it originated from Jamaican thinking... Not.
It is the common thought and pronouncements by all these small Islanders,in their country and up north Where ever they are.
I know it..

It is always Jamaica to be blamed for every thing wrong with these people.

If something is wrong they have to blame it on Jamaicans And when Jamaica achieve world class, they all claim it as <span style="font-weight: bold">Caribbean achievement, but every negatives is Jamaica. </span>Their jealousy will be their doom.....
They are all living in a house of cards.

Just wait until they get exposed to some real pressure ..

Jamaica will not be there to bail them out.

I will see to that.

For the centuries of lewd lyrics and gyrations that calypso promote, produces and maintain, they did not have any negative effects of Barbadians??


How long since dance hall music has been around and compare it with calypso??

One of the main reason why I did not like calypso was the lewd and suggestive lyrics, that is universally and uniquely calypso. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Xavier</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Source: Caribbean Daily News

First bold text ... Poor? Poor as in not wealthy? Or poor as in not very good? Why? Does Barbados have an inefficient justice system and therefore only the less than stellar lawyers practice there?

Second bold text ... how will you &quot;see to that&quot;? Do you have influence?

Third bold text ... Now that's a very true statement and I agree with you

Barbados have an inefficient economy. Their economy i similar to Jamaica's only they keep more of their money on the island. the new economy paradigm will change all that. Since britain is in an economic pickle and will need all the cash that have been stowed in all these colonies. Jamaica has always sent it's wealth between their and Cayman islands. well they can't send any more unless they want to have civil wars when the people can't take it any mire. So the cash rush will have to be don efron these other holding states. So they are not as wealthy as they seemed. they were just holding the bag for the Brits.
Their economy education system after all they still use the common entrance. which exclude the majority from attaining college ehj trance. Their health care system is woefully inadequate. they want more than double their hospital beds, they are not the shiny economy as they have been portrayed. Just like Jamaica was not the economic success during the 60's either. It was all a show. If you act politically favourable to the colonists, they give you good grades economically, If you do what is to th benefit of your population, they give you bad economic grades. that is all just like they did wall Street. They have been doing it with the third world for as long as they gave them so-called independence. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Peace</div><div class="ubbcode-body">First bold text ...

well the world economy is no where near coming out of recession yet. It will require a lot of theses house of cards being exposed for what they are. anomalies to economics. then world economy will start repairing the breach, of the last half century. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Peasie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">OK.
