So me ask him wher in Kingston, he said Kingston. So ask him how he is from kingston and don't know that it is made upo of mane little towns? He said he was from <span style="font-weight: bold">Fire house</span>
i ask him what is the name pf Fore house. He said Just fire house. I told him that he listen to too many reggae records. He should at least visit Jamaica once,but don't go to fire House,because ther is no Fire house down there. Ifit is only a nick name for a real place.
He still couldn't figure the real place for which that is a nickname.
Once up on a time almost every black with an accent use to be Jamaican. Only they wish they were.

Dr. Dudd, my experience has been the opposite, ie, that upon meeting a black person in Canada, he or she will quickly let you know that he/she isn't jamaican if that is the case.

</div></div> <span style="font-size: 11pt">Well the reputation of Jamaican around here is good now. But when this use to happen it was not so good, but never as bad as what is passing for Jamaican behavior in Canada and UK.
Jamaican s were then known to control drug houses, but never got involve in street warfare with nobody.
After we found that they were actually acting under a quasi government department, that use them to distribute the drugs they brought from Columbia.
Then use the money to buy arms to supply Iran,so that they could support the Iran/Iraq war from both sides.
They backed Iraq openly, but armed Iran covertly and have them killing each other so that they could get back the hostages. Then the Jamaica youths were conveniently used to distribute the drugs covertly of course.
That or something of that sort may be behind the Jamaicans mudrering in the other countries who knows??</span>
