jamaican people have to be the most angriest people in the world

[hungkee]

People in many beachy resort spots on earth seem angrier than one would expect.

I figure that some of that may have to do with living a real life full of its challenges in a place that everyone else considers to be "paradise".

And it must be difficult to see so many people only interacting with where you live as some sort of a playground - dumping money and doing shots all day - while you're working three jobs or unable to even get one.

I think it would be torture to be a resident of many resort destinations if you're not the ones on vacation or worrying about how you're going to make ends meet.

There are Club Med locations in the Caribbean with huge, high walls keeping out the locals...from attacking the pleasure-seekers.

So on one side of the wall is unlimited food, tanned tennis instructors, botoxed ladies buying $8,000 shell and gemstone necklaces and families learning beach yoga all day while on the opposite side of the wall are oftentimes local slums and people trying hard to make ends meet or sometimes even recovering from major hurricanes.

There is something in that combination that would, in my opinion, make one of those two groups a bit angry.

And you see this phenomenon on the rise all around the planet. The resort beach destinations having increasing tension between the HAVES (typically pleasure seeking tourists) and HAVE NOTS (typically the locals).

Social injustices in Jamaica go waaaaay back and so resentments are deeply engrained. Its a hard call because its not really all that normal to expect people to be HAPPY with the Haves bouncing around on endless vacation as they then expect the HAVE NOTS to somehow serve or entertain them...or to just stay out of their way (the way being the locals own country).

You don't even have to go to Jamaica to see this anger dynamic in play. Heck, in the USA, have you ever seen a seething waiter spit something into the food of revelers spending more on one meal than what adds up to his entire monthly paycheck?

Any tradition of the Haves and Have Nots in a free man's mind can make the latter a bit testy.

Either that. Or its just all the drugs everybody's on now-a-days.

Wasn't Lord of the Flies about a bunch of English boys?

That story was an allegory about humanity, not English boys.

They can be a bit demanding and mean especially the nurses at work

I saw Jamaican porn, they all have big cocks.
But the rooms where they do the filming looks filthy.

If i'm the local, i would like to knock down those walls.
Not right to block out parts of the areas where you live.

I've heard being gay is up to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour in Jamaica.

[MMMonsterBoy]

I've been to Jamaica once! Had a good time, though I was about seven or eight. Must not have been gay enough then to anger the mobs.

Without stepping on what I can clearly see is a marked trapped door, I have to concur, only because I ride a trolley to work, and EVERYONE that rides dreads "the greys" - the nickname for the 15 to 20 jamaican women (all nurse practitioners) that board the small-for-city-transportation bus at the same time and proceed to turn it into an uncomfortable mess. Rude, inconsiderate, loud, and have had one lady in particular actually shove herself in between myself and another passenger, nearly knocking us both off the seat.

It's a wonder why chivalry is dead in some respects.

I don't know anyone from Jamaica. Not a lot of Jamaicans come to Edmonton.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I don't want to generalise or expose my ignorance but—

I thought people of the Caribbean were considered more physically desirable because of their prominent jawlines, eg. Grace Jones from Jamaica, Sidney Poitier from the Bahamas and (I believe) Harry Belafonte.

Why is it again that we're all talking about Jamaican people?



Did a Jamaican say something to somebody or sump'thin?

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

They can be a bit demanding and mean

Which is, of course, exclusive to jamaicans.

 

[guyfromNY]

I have always found all of this to be true about Haitian people. Sort of an irrational anger that didn't make much sense. I feel incredibly politically incorrect right now.

One tried to push me onto the floor of the trolley; I'm adding it to the thread in hopes that someone dumb thinks all jamaicans are like that.

Clearly we're lucky here to have mostly asian, somali and east european immigrants then.

Edmonton is installing a trolly system, and I wouldn't want to see a dramatic rise in trolly-related incidents.

Politically incorrect is sometimes a prettier way of saying ignorant fuckbag.

Politically incorrect is sometimes a prettier way of saying ignorant fuckbag.

Politically incorrect can often be a way of saying "Not falling for that BS".

Politically incorrect can often be a way of saying "Not falling for that BS".

Politically correct is people suppressing their thoughts to appease the self-appointed Thought Police
