A small population, familiar situation a testbed with
Health terror
A reason?  the motive of jeering part of instigation.?
No to disscussion 'from the ( eu ) this all comes.' as to
The highest death rate per capita, it appears this nation
Succumbs.?

Call For Peace:

Call for Peace:
Johan Vincent Galtung (born 24 October 1930) is a Norwegian sociologist, and the principal founder of the discipline of peace and conflict studies.
Positive Peace is defined as the attitudes, institutions and structures that create and sustain peaceful societies. The same factors that create lasting peace also lead to many other positive outcomes that societies aspire to, including: thriving economies. better performance on ecological measures.
What is Negative Peace? IEP's definition of Negative Peace is understood as 'the absence of violence or fear of violence — an intuitive definition that many agree with, and one which enables us to measure peace more easily.
Societies with high Positive Peace have better outcomes on a range of factors that are considered important, such as better per capita growth, better environmental performance, less civil resistance movements or violent political shocks but also better infrastructure to weather the impact from natural disasters.

Least Developed Nations

Least Developed Nations
Engage in high corruption and wastage
Are featured by poverty amidst plenty
Senior officers are like bats in offices and survive
Through no or faked democratic elections

Developed Nations exploit them eloquently
Every form of treasure is mortgaged
Very few rulers dream of their dark hearts
Even the rulers are spanner-boys in their backyards
Low income per capita shows citizens are rats in a mosque
Organized kidnaps of opposition is game of amusement
Power is concentrated in the hands few man eaters
Economy is always bed-ridden in emergency wards and
Desire to change such governments is suicidal

None of the nations dreams of being a super power
Atomic or nuclear capability is exist as a myth
Time and again they fight proxy wars and are
Interested in doing the dying to make other nations great
Over-dependence and domination are a hobby
Nations in this category are often very wealthy but
Survive by carrying yawning bags to the land of everlasting rains

Gays Against Jamaica

It is true that Jamaica is rich in tradition
and history,

Jamaicans don't view the world as everybody else
does, they are critical when it comes to love,

The country has more churches per capita,
So, the natives are not easily persuaded with
new chapters,

Youths who display a penchant for the same sex
may experience family neglect,

Musicians may sing about "Batty Men" and such,
and if children tell their parents they are gay,
The entire family thinks they are nuts,

Jamicans are stalworth and steeped in tradition,
the Gays think Jamaicans are prejudiced and
living in oblivion,

Around the world other people think the same way,
yet, they hide their biased feelings with jokes
and casual play,

The gays are no better because they perpetuate hate
with every letter,

If there was a contest for Ms. World, they would rather
choose an Eskimo girl instead of a Jamaican woman who
was competent and bright,

How does two wrongs make a right?

Premium MemberAnother Point of View

Many years ago, with the west still wild,
I lived happily as a carefree child

In North Dakota, the Flickertail State
To which only the hardy emigrate.

You might like my home state or maybe not,
Extreme weather was either cold or hot.

Its residents are robust, sturdy folks,
Who often are the butt of uncouth jokes.  

There is a fact that is undisputed,
I am sorry now that I uprooted.

More millionaires per capita live there
Than can be found in any state elsewhere!
