Re: jamaicans sense aff entitlement

For all my mother has done for me and other people in my family I dont think it is a sense of entitlement.

Some people whe a work so called good job and getting a pittance fi them pay ... yes pittance because it just hand to mouth and u in a position fi help them is not sense a entitlement ...

This sound like one man whe go merica leff wife and pickney out deh and just because she get a decent pay him no think him need fi send money a month time fi the pickney.

Re: jamaicans sense aff entitlement

Blu smaddy a get minimum wage fi go do domestic wuk or some other cheap paying wok... and them have family a farrin whe help them make ends meet is not sense of entitlement. This is not talking bout even ridiculous lifestyles this is about basic survival. Nuff of the people them whe sending the remittance leff them pickney wid granny and other relative and would that be sense of entitlement fi take care of what u family need?

Blu this is taking the stereotype thing too damn far man. I will keep the rest of my opinion to myself since it will be censored anyway.

Mi no have a sense of obligation to mi mother but the day mi start thinking that sending her money is her having sense of sense of entitlement I'll ask somebody to shoot me

Re: jamaicans sense aff entitlement

I was talking to a vietnamese woman last week about this very issue, so it's not just jamaica, it's every third world country. She had just returned from what she feared may be her last trip to her homeland...she'd saved for a long time to go back to see her parents, but when she got there she was pestered by obscure and distant relatives who had never had much to do with her for TVs, motorcycles, refrigerators, etc. And this is being asked of a woman who barely gets by working hard in Canada. She also said that when the locals shops and hotels and restaurants found out that she was from foreign that they charged her the higher tourist rate for everything.
