KEveryone has access to the media though, it dose'nt have to happen in your town for any of us to have an open mind about comparisons in our own countries.
Facebook allows way too many gruesome images to be shared without addressing it...but I am aware of examples from all around the world.
I read about that Young girl too, thankfully the man has at least got sent to prison for it. That is a step forward...just a step I know. I recall that it was the man who blamed her not the community, and that he handed himself in as he knew the community were onto him.
I also remembered being equally sickened by the girl in sharleens small town who murdered her young nephew while babysitting for him before Christmas.
Or the sickos I professionally come across, who never serve a day in prison for their crimes against children, and sometimes have their children returned to them after some do gooder speaks up for them in court.
Or the fact that in the UK the biggest consumer of porn is now children aged 12-17... Friggin children ... Because they all have smartphones and other gadgets.
I don't think this board is about breaking the silence, it's about sharing thoughts and feelings on there and everywhere.
Otherwise a lot of the threads would bear no relevance.
For example I think firemons threads are hysterical, and his posts are often interesting, or thought provoking or just plain funny.
Kylakes recent pics have been just beautiful.
as I said look at the youth in our own country's who are regularly viewing sex, cruelty, violence all on social media via there gadgets. I know what I see on the young peoples I come into contact with, and it's as sick.
I'm certainly not a person saying shits not happening in jamaica, like I said earlier, it's just that sometimes some people are so passionately up in arms about what is happening there, which I don't disagree with...but only attribute those behaviours to jamaica.....for me, I feel most of the world is a sick place....not sure if I believe it's always been the case, or that things have got worse, or that we are just more aware due to the technological environment we all live in. Jamaica is sadly not unique, and I like to be fair not just critical, and acknowledge that.
Jamaica has got a long way to go, but I'm not into kicking it when it's potentially on its knees instead of its arse. I believe and have said before that we have to allow them as a country to make progress, even at a slow pace.
There is no big silence there either imo, what I feel there is, is a lack of is trust in authorities, a lack of integrity in the police and political system, and a lack of high impact social and judicial initiatives..
