What a vile place? Wretched criminal elements... murderers, thieves... crime free Canada will have to show them the way... How different is war, when folks decide to go to other people's country and rain bombs, grenade, drones upon innocent women and children. Does the citizen of Iran,Afganistan, Iraq not subject to crime visited upon them by other nations and their own. Where does the drugs and gun come from in Jamaica? In a small island nation it appears wickedness is beyond our understanding... Racism is also violence..individuals are killed in spirit everyday. I feel empathy for the woman who felt joy in her association with Jamaica and died as a result. But one can't jump to conclusion... often the half is never told. Others have come here and died in shoot outs, some maimed etc. On boxing day some years ago an innocent, young lady died at Eaton Center, not too long ago there was a shoot out at a movie theater... there was the bloody Sunday, women drown their children and blame it on others.. there was a psycho oops mentally ill fellow who went into a school and murdered babies last Christmas, columbine slaughter, murder of women in Montreal, our mayor smokes crack and hang out with known drug dealers.. who still happens to be in office...shall we go on, senators steal money and go on fancy vacation. a wealthy boy kills four people and is free. an innocent boy walks home with his candy and is murdered by a horrible person who was set free by some women who said they could identify more with the murderer than the dead teen. This same man has since assaulted his wife and father in law, his pregnant girlfriend and enjoys freedom. How different is Jamaica... where ever human being live there is always a potential for violence. Poverty is not the cause or Haiti would lead the way for they have been robbed and raped for years by neocolonialism and opportunistic charities who collect money on their behalf and build their organizations.. aren't this organizations criminal entities... But Haiti is still low on the murder statistic podium and we have soldiers who have raped those they went to protect. Until we are able to remove the pole from our eyes we cannot remove the bean from the eye of the other. stirred up but not shaken.CanadianWifey89 said:My hubby is from an area where crime runs rampant also. When I was there in November 2013 a shop, literally two houses down from him, was robbed. Three people were found down the road in a ditch who were killed..and almost every other month there is another shooting. Police/soldiers patrol the roads day and night (literally..even 3am) - some of these murderers/thieves are fearless.
I didn't grow up in a well-off area in Toronto, so I understand how poverty can drive one to do insane things..The level of unemployment which is astronomical...not a justification at all..but there is a correlation which is undeniable.I pray for the day when crime striken countries/areas are completely turned around for the better.
I agree...elsewhere is definitely no better. It's just sad that it happens to begin with. I can just continue to pray.frankfield said:
Thanks for not seeing my response as an attack.. until we stop viewing parts of the world with rose coloured glasses, we will never be able to make true change. We look at our own lives and seek the change from within. The world can/will be a scary place if we live in fear. Beauty lies in the ashes, danger lies in the garden of "creation'. Fear not that which you don't understand. Try to see yourself as both good and evil.. each having the ability to do good and bad. Pray for peace in all parts of the world and seek to be the change you want to see...goodnightCanadianWifey89 said:

There are no extensions on police checks. That will have to be redone. Meds can be extended and Kingston May have already extended them but who knows with them.canjam110412 said:
