Obama was right to veto. Put the shoe on the other foot and let other countries enact such a law and not only that, but allow it be enacted effectively retroactively; in other words, going back to the past. Practically everybody would suing America! Keepin’ it real! The CIA trained Osama and then left him in the heat of the battle with the Russians to fight on his own with his band of soldiers. The family of the victims of 9/11 might start thinking about suing the CIA!!! When you get a law on the books, all it takes is a really smart lawyer to read between the lines and figure out how to work it!

Exactly! Even sitting here… miles away… it seemed to me that America had a lot of things to hide and that to allow people to sue… well… what about those at Gitmo who were found innocent? What about those mistaken bombings which killed people who had nothing to do with anything?
-
You can refer to so many historical incidents you might crash your computer with the weight of them. What about black people who were forced into slavery? What about the Native Americans who were forced off their land? Just watched a documentary last night about the relationships between Mexican-Americans and Anglo-Americans. Especially during the California gold rush period. It was not pretty! That’s another potential lawsuit!! With that kind of legal precedent, Americans might start suing Americans! Holler! 🙂

Obama should do a lot of thinking. Much internalizing (I’m not sure about his moral ability to that kind of understanding) in considering the ethos of the Bill that had been passed in May. He must agree with the House of Senate that passed this Bill that allow the 9/11 victims, on behalf of those who lost their lives, to regain their trust and respect in the judicial system.
He should rethink that he must consider his ways that would lead to standing firm in support and empathy with the 9/11 victims and families. They are his fellow Americans, for heaven’s sake! And thus, see to it that the Saudi government will sit in court before a Judge, the Senate of Representatives, and the 9/11 victims that represent the entire American people.
The 9/11 victims represent the entire united America must fulfill their rights to hold Saudi government accountable for the terrorist attack on 9/11, thus, pursue in putting Saudi in the Justice Civil Court system. The President should be able to see that clearly.
With Obama-veto conflict that’s denying America of suing Saudi– his persistent veto, stopping Americans from moving to action in Court on suing Saudi. Will the suing enormously affect US financial market? What Saudi is threatening to do is to backfire by blackmailing America. It’s like plugging America’s financial flow into the US economy. That’s Obama’s intention why he’s vetoing. He doesn’t really care about the 9/11 tragedy and the entire American people. His PCness is getting in the way. BS!
Btw, Clintons receive billions of money from the Saudi kingdom. I wonder if the Saudis are paying Hillary to have some kind of influence on Barrack Obama?

Every president of any country wants to reform the world but there are many hard ship may not be seen by physical eyes because behind the president countless forces are being worked and those who helped in making president how can a president make laws against them and they are big boss of the whole world.
Voters are just to give their opinions and nothing else what the elected president does does not become democratic but dictatorship works behind it, not seen by human eyes.

Maybe, the next metaphor would be Dumb And Dumber. People have preferences. There is a reason why they choose Trump, maybe they are too tired of having politicians, too much politics is not good, its entertaining.
Well, you see, I’m no America so this is just an opinion.

In my country a stupid bully like that would be laughed off the stage. Not that Jamaica is so brilliant but we are certainly brighter than Americans.

Yes, we must encourage the new writers so that new writers may write for the coming generation because our forefathers wrote for us and we must write for the coming next coming generation and I think it is our duty in modern age.
Writers: Let’s face it. Sometimes we could all use a little motivation, encouragement, inspiration, or support. Sometimes our prospects don’t seem very exciting. Sometimes we lose sight of what matters.
Writer’s Relief has created this page to motivate, encourage, and inspire you. We know the writing life can be tough, but this page can help. Here’s a free resource that offers:
**Motivation for writers
**Encouragement for writers
**Inspiration for writersTo really help your young author feel a sense of accomplishment, collect some of her best writings and bind them up. You can easily do this with cardboard covers, or by putting contact paper over a specially created cover illustration on heavy paper. Have her make a table of contents, a title page, and a bio about herself to include between the covers.
You will be published if you posses three qualities: talent, passion and discipline. You will probably be published if you possess two of the three qualities in either combination–either talent and discipline or, passion and discipline.
You will likely be published if you possess neither talent nor passion but still have discipline. But, if all you possess is talent or passion, if all you possess is talent and passion, you will not be published.

The fact is, many writers no longer want to risk themselves on a site that might not pay. Or on one which has ‘quirks’ as I mentioned above.

The theme of the show just timely for my country because of the current war on drugs. So, after Colombia, Philippines now is popular all over the world because of the tagged ‘extra judicial killing’. But they don’t know how drugs destroys many lives and future of the children. During the height of drugs, there are so many news about a father raping his daughter, a man raping a 3 years old girl or even younger or even his grandmother and other elderly people. Some commit suicide by burning themselves.
Its so happen, I cannot watch it online because my internet service is kind of slow.

Is it only when you leave Jamaica? Are you saying there is no “color consciousness” or racism in Jamaica? I’ve never been there. My husband is from The Bahamas. To say there is no racism in that country would not be factual. To say the racism is not as bad in The Bahamas as it is in the USA would be a factual statement.
-
Colour is not the factor in Jamaica. It may be class, it may be power… but it isn’t colour. Not as in America. I can list situtions in which leading experts were not allowed to join specific organisations because of their colour and the only way they get in is to have someone inside pull strings.
Most Americans hate to hear about racism in their Country.
-
I’m not so sure Americans hate to hear about racism in the United States. Our news reports are loaded with stories about it! Indeed it is an accepted fact of our life, woven into the tapestry of our society. I don’t say it as if it’s a good thing. I simply say it as a fact, an historical fact, and a fact of present day living in America. Any American who tries to disregard or ignore that fact is just being purposely ignorant. Even though it is a fact, not all Americans are racists or concern themselves with skin color. Once read an interesting article titled “Top 10 Most Racist Countries in the World” found at InfoBarrel.com. Racism is disgusting no matter who is being racist against who! I might also add, IT’S UNNECESSARY!!

If you were in Jamaica for a time, you’d notice the difference. To give you an example, I was in the supermarket. There’s a very good customer, who had not won a prize during the Xmas contest and was running a joke with the staff who said that they tried to pick out her name but failed. Another customer said that only scammers win… and everyone laughed. At the time it didn’t occur to me, but sitting here, these are people of 3 different races. This is the kind of banter once gets… this unconscious response to what is said not the complexion of those who say it.

It is not appropriate to say there is no Color consciousness in Jamaica. It may be there and can be identified in case of those in U.S only. In the case of Jamaica, it is not color consciousness but for Race and Power. It is always there. Here a black will kill black. The shooter will be the police.
Unfortunately, in such incidents happening in the U.S the shooter will always be a U.S police and the victim will be a black. Hence, the reason for arriving at such decision.
This is not the only incidents. There are many cases and situations a discrimination is being shown towards the black.In the case of the appointments for jobs getting good salaries, the Black are considered very rarely. Most of the Blacks are getting the jobs in U.S as Labourers. The wages they paid are also less than what is paid to the others. Again among the blacks, the women get less than men.
Mr. Donald is very much against this color consciousness. He will do something for the people of U.S and make them feel proud of their President. He will definitely uphold the dignity and grandeur of the U.S Internationally. Let us hope for the best from Mr. Donald.

You do not seem to understand Jamaica or the United States.

It is true. Firstly, in America you might say; “Joan has red hair…” that doesn’t mean you are prejudiced or pro red hair. The colour of skin is as important. Trump will increase the racism and as you have seen, things are happening which are making people more conscious of the colour of their skin.
-
-
Why sometimes we do exaggerate racism when are so many stories in America and yes, Bahamas where black and white are helping, marrying cooperating each other. We can magnify this kind of stories and not the stories that have been the nightmare of the past.
-
In America the race issue was never properly confronted. So people don’t say anything, they just act.
-
-
Until this time racial discrimination is waging war in itself.Brown or black skin, some whites feel allergic. But like me whose skin is brown as being a brown American hehehe, do not matter at all in terms of color.Skin color depicts our location, our terrain, climate, so why are there people haters of skin color? What is important is we are good citizens in the republic where we were born.
-
There are people who don’t consider you a ‘real…(nationality) unless you are a particular colour.

Hope you will be spared from this devastation.
I hope the Hurricane does not cause much damage and you are safe.
I think that a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
synonyms: cyclone, typhoon, tornado, storm, tropical storm, tempest, windstorm, superstorm, gale, squall, whirlwind;
Yes, it was a very dangerous hurricane and it devastated many building and other many valuable things as Hurricane Matthew slammed into Haiti’s south-western tip with howling 145 mph winds yesterday, tearing off roofs in the poor and largely rural area of Petit-Goâve, uprooting trees and leaving rivers bloated and choked with debris.
It marked the first time in 52 years that a Category Four storm made landfall in Haiti.
The storm — at one point the most powerful hurricane in the region in nearly a decade — dumped heavy rain as it swirled on toward Cuba and The Bahamas. Forecasters said it could hit Florida toward the end of the week and push its way up the East Coast of the United States over the weekend.
The dangerous storm blew ashore around dawn in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, hitting a corner of Haiti where many people live in shacks of wood or concrete blocks.
The storm left the peninsula that runs along the southern coast of Haiti cut off from the rest of the country. Many streets were flooded or blocked by landslides and fallen trees. Local radio reported that the water was shoulder high in parts of the city of Les Cayes.
Milriste Nelson, a 65-year-old farmer in the town. said his neighbours fled when the wind ripped the corrugated metal roof from their home. His own small yard was strewn with the fruit he depends on for his livelihood.
