Unfortunately to the Jamaican mind if you live abroad for one week you are a returning resident...this is part of the problem

Mi concur wid Jah_Yout wid di label, but mi haffi respectfully disagree wid RichD. As far as dem concern yuh hav $$$ inna di center of di bullseye whe dem si pan yuh back. Mi kno too many who hav left yaad an returned abroad fi dat reason. Yes, other non-returnees are victims of crime, but dem hav a special evil place in dem hearts fi di wans whe dem sey, com from farin. Even di locals tell yuh, "mek sure yuh noh goh out by yuhself without dem deh wid yuh caa tings change since yuh lef, an people round yah noh longer si yuh as wan ah dem noh more".

I understand what you saying and i know that is the experience of many. but i don't agree that that is the experience of the majority.
