Jamaica poor 'at mercy of gangs'

HEY MAN, this is nothing new this has been going on for years.They came to Kansas city and took over for while they came here and recruted drug dealers (IN THE EIGHTIES) and turned around and killed them.I know three of the top ones were killed by the police but one of them got away.The Jamicans go all around the United states and make money kill people and them go back home to hide because if their own government is afraid of them,they dont have to be worried about being turned in. Dont get me wrong I have known some decent jamicans as a matter fact I used to date one all of them are not bad people.They are just like any other race of people you have good ones and bad ones.

Not good for the tourist. To bad. I loved Jamaica and the people. The government needs to step in & handle it ASAP.

most of the time the tourist never see these areas unless they go for a tour of the city and even then they are slective about what they let you see. They come to you, you can buy anything in a hotel in Jamica

Fish Rot from the head down. Jamaica rots in much the same way. It has been run by drug lords for a number of years already and will only get worse as it gets cozy with Venezueala.

Another paradise lost.

The just need to get rid of the surplus population. May I suggest a boat trip to Cuba or Mexico -- the lands of milk & honey.

america will to be to busy in iraq fighting terrorist ,to worry about other countries goverments going currupt

i've been there its a wonderful island
everywhere you go you see a littlte good/bad

Jamaica needs a more diverse population. It is mostly black. They need to allow in more hispanic and caucasian citizens to help balance things out and fix their problems.

They should apply to become an American state.

downgression.

That is one of the reasons why corrupt governments are popping up all over the place and current governments turning corrupt is that they know they don't have to worry about the global police shutting them down, deposing them or invading them anymore.

That has its ups and downs sides.

Yes, people hate America for being the global police even though it has done tremendous good around the world.
Of course a corrupt country would hate us for foiling their dastardly deeds.

The next hot spot to keep an eye on is the Falkland Islands once again. Argentina is going to make Great Britain go down and whip their @ss once again.

-----I have friends in Jamaica. Ocho Rios, St. Ann to be exact. They have white's, indians etc..living in all 13 Parrish's. The fact is God made Jamaica they way he wanted it. If some Parrish's are poorer than other's, then what can we do? It's not different form the US. Jamaica was once under Great Britian unitl 1965. In which it gained it's own independence. Jamaican's may be economically changelled but are rich in culture & spirit. Trust me, they want to stay their own country.---------

-----Tourisim is thier #1 source of income next to suger cane & alcohol industry. Please don't discourge anyone from visiting. It's a beautiful country! I have friends in Jamaica. They express to me all the time the government is the problem. If you have a little money, you have priority. Cops & judges are paid off to turn their heads to the growing corruption. It's sad.-------

------- Please read my prior posts. I agree. The tourists will visit Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho rios (St. Ann) or Run Away Bay. Yes they will come to you. However, it's good to buy out in the city as well for a selction of goods. Also, this will help stimulate the economy.-------
