Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

When I made the statement about &quot;bangarang&quot;, I was refering to getting into any in depth disscussion about homosexuality, because I've found most Jamaicans believe it is a &quot;choice&quot; rather than a condition from birth, so, we could argue that point till the cows come home &amp; nobody gonna change their mind, so what's the point?....but the accepting attitude toward MJ had me puzzled so thought I would ask fi unno opinions.

Your remark seemed to me that you view those those things as more prevalent among Jcans than others.

It's not dissimilar to the position of conservative religious groups who believe pre-marital sex is a terrible sin, yet if an unwed woman falls pregnant the community accepts both the child and mother, c.f. reaction to Bristol Palin.

Why waste time pondering a non-issue and risk irritating people around you? </div></div>


yu think people in jamaica would be annoyed if she asked them about this? </div></div> More will that won't.

Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

I've always thought Michael was kind of asexual, maybe because he appeared shy and innocent (and eccentric) in that documentary with Bashir (I think that's his name.) But who really knows? He was definitely unique and a great talent.

I don't care too much about others.
