H.L , H.L , H.L where are thee ?

And you havent made it easier or clearer , with that silly question , going to war doesnt mean picking up arms , it could mean other things which I am sure you do know.

Silly question? Why would you say that? It is a legitimate question. Actually I had this same debate with a Jamaican friend of mine who had become a naturalised US citizen. He told me plainly that he was prepared to give his life for the USA at the drop of a hat. This is a man who grew up in Jamaica and came to the USA as an adult. Now don't try to get technical with me about the meaning of war. I am asking you plainly, are you prepared to give your life for Jamaica in the event of a war?

[Sir X]

A tell yuh , considering your week of silence .

[HL]

pssshhhhhhhh...... ...well, I did not hold my breath for long...whew!!

[Sir X]

[Sir X]

If Jamaica goes to war or is attacked , I am going to war for Jamaica ! DUN TALK.

This is one patriot that wil have a meaningfull discussion with my GOD about patriotism.

[Jangle]

ok mek me mek it a likkle easier and clearer for you. If Jamaica was to go to war today with say...USA....or better yet. Say the USA decides that they don't like Bruce's government because he is getting too chummy with Mr. Chavez, and go to "war", would you go to fight for Jamaica or the USA, with whom you "may" have sworn your allegiance to? Maybe that's too hard to answer, let's say Jamaica goes to war with Trinidad, where would you stand? Afterall, dem have nuff oil a hoard up and we bigga than dem.

[Sir X]

I am not lost like you.

[Sir X]

Your question has a lot of grey areas , patriotic to what people or government ?

If its the people yes , government no , many a patriot has been tried by governments for treason .Patriot is a loose word and it should be used in one context for the people. e.g S. Africa I am sure all of the racist consider themselves patriots for trying to uphold racist institutions and many a African considered themselves patriots for trying to bring it down, they all represented people of different racialy and socio - economic views in the same country.

So before you ask a question about patriotism look at the context in which it can be twisted to justify anyones , socio - economic, political , religous views, military views .

I consider myself a Jamaican patriot for the people not tied to any Jamaican Institution and like the Rasta man the Babylon shistem that we perpetuate in Jamaica should burn and a new one should be put in place to represent the people.

In what context do you consider yourself a Jamaican patriot.

[HL]

I am going to hold my breath till X answers Jangle.

Here goes......... hmmmurph

BTW:
Recall i mentioned about folks who have higher expectations of others than that have of themselves.

Typical example!!
