On reaching Fifty

[bigzack]

What the hell have we accomplished as a country to show that we is ah big 50 year old man or woman?

Why we still in we mother house?

Jamaica planning so much to celebrate their 50 years anniversary.

Mih co-worker who came to the USA from Jamaica when he was 8 years old and is now 40 years old, just came back from Jamaica, and he is going back for their 50th anniversary. He got caught up in all the hype that he saw there, so he is going back to celebrate.

We had a egomaniac for a Prime Minister, who preferred to let a Canadian run the route.

Now we have a mega-egomaniac who prefer to see her face on paper bags and coffee cups.

They had big celebration down at Rienzi for a two year anniversary dedicated to the coronation of the mega-egomaniac.

Not one fart ah hearing about how we goh be celebrating we 50 year Independence anniversary.

[dancerboy]

MR. BZ my good friend, I said it before, and I will say it again: "TRINIDADIANS lack the patriotism, and the national pride of the JAMAICANS, and the BARBADIANS. In stead of some forumites cussing SNOW, they need to work on these issues, and shut her up. Don't tell she to shut up, and the doh-care-damn attitude continues unabated.

Mr. D, as long as Trinbagonians keep voting along the lines of who can spew out the most allegations and make more promises on a Campaign platform, nutten eh go change and Snow will keep rubbing it in.

Then it goh be a "vie ki vie", hurry up, vapsy celebrations.

These things need to be planned way in advance.

Financiers have to get they budget in place, and know they rewards.

Move tuh de head ah de class Mr. DB ........doh tell meh....... show meh.....

It eh mak no sense tuh me wen I criticize allyuh tuh say......."buh look odder people doin it too"

.....how de hell doz "odder people doin it too....help your country"

as tuh dem odder countries dat lettin allyuh justify.... doin de same...lemme tell allyuh ....AHGAIN!!!

There is big difference between ....'being the worst of the best'....and ....'being the best of the worst'


right now T&T should strive to at least be ..... 'the former'..... use ah different yard stick .....start measuring yourself against what is good in this world.... not what is bad.

[saltwater]

Prayers goh be better than this constant barrage of chit all you posting....listen all you hypocrits..go and read the ched on 'women does park better than men.

[bigzack]

So what allyuh think bout the lyrics in the chune?

Are they, by and large, an actual representation of the stage that we as a nation has reached after 50 years of independence?

Buh you eh hear how she bad torking de Country so? She is a real NEGAPAT!

Aye Ang..... hear meh nah
......wen dem deficate on deyself....it is called....patriotism....objectivity..... looking at the country with ah critical eye

.... when I deficate on dem....it is called ....bad torkin..... ponging dem fer no good reason.... criticizing them for no good reason.

What many of them seem to miss is that I am saying exactly what the 'patriots' are saying.....with one exception

.... I will sometimes even go so far as to....share ....tell them what I think is lacking..... share with them how 'other people deal with similar challenges' .....try to show them that things don't have to be that way..... or how much better it could be if it wasn't.

thing is only this morning Zacky reminded me of something I usta say.....at one time it was actually my ......signature....

"Yuh kar want fer dem ....wat dey doh want fer deyself"

Funny that some should be pounding Kamla now for her attitude towards the citizens of the country...to the media et al

..... but what Kamla is displaying is simply the true Trini attitude of..... "If we want your opinion....we will give it to you"

[snowbird]

Sandra......dey like it so

[Maccogirl]

So what did PNM do for the last 50 years all yuh remind meh again, like Sandra forget for its 50 years she saying nothing done

[bigzack]

So what did PNM do for the last 50 years all yuh remind meh again, like Sandra forget for its 50 years she saying nothing done

Maccs yuh ever do political algebra?

X + Y + Z = 50

Where X equals PNM years
Y equals Basdeo Panday years
Z equals Robbie years.

So yuh want tuh wheel and come again with yuh question?

[snowbird]

So what did PNM do for the last 50 years all yuh remind meh again, like Sandra forget for its 50 years she saying nothing done

Maccs....PNM represented one segment of society in Trini for the past 50 years..... while they were the dominant political party....they were not the country...... a country is made up of .... first and foremost.... of its people....every single one of you have lived there for the past 50 years had an opportunity to ...... contribute....

Forgetting the other 129 million people..... how did YOU Maccs help to build your nation? What have YOU done to make your country a better place? How is T&T better off for having YOU as a citizen? .

...at the end of the day....what would YOU.... be telling your children or grandchildren about YOUR own contribution to make their country a greater..... more stable place?
