What else can you expect from a jackass who was peddling Cuban communism and despotism, based on serial hand-outs from the USSR in a proxy war with the US, as a developmental model for us?

What happened after Glasnost?

For superficial thinkers, any type subversion of our constitution and good governance is to be romanticised and upheld as being great.

Weren't veiled death threats, for example, made against those who would undermine the pension of two-faced incumbents, if elected members ever crossed the floor?

That is the depths of depravity to whih our domestic politics fell, with some of our esteemed political dinosaurs.

That is why there is absolutely nothing positive associated with their occupation of seats on the benches of the parliament

Now compare.

See how far we have developed, in relation to other countries that were at the same development stage with us some 30 years ago?

The hollowness of our sh t-talking political dinosaurs never fails to capture the imagination of low-information processors, especially the many revered talk-show hosts in our midst.

Saint Lucia is idiot country!

In Saint Lucia, even idiots, goons, drug barons, and felons become ministers and prime ministers.

Saint Lucia: Equal opportunity country for idiots!

Of course, the person who wrote about St Lucia being an idiot country is VERY, VERY CORRECT.

Prove the person wrong, anyone, that St Lucia is not an idiot country!!

Why else would any sane populace voted and continues to vote for the likes of those the person highlighted.

As an expat, I cursed the day I made the decision to moved back here. Unfortunately, I bought at the height of the Market and cannot sell or will not be able to realized the full potential of my properties...so I am stuck in idiot country for the time being. Until the Market picks up, and hopefully will be able to sell and get the hell out of this shit hole!!

How much more idiotic can it get. We must all be idiots living in an idiotic country. Let us stop making idiots of ourselves. On the matter of Chou, I thought the problem was the manner in which he disperced of the funds and his political party affiliation. By the way, Taiwan has a large number of politicians accused and charged with fraud.

Nothing in St. Lucia is worth taking note. All trash and crap, to no end.

Saint Lucians do not appreciate, nor do they fully understand their own culture and the cultures of other countries.

Because we largely share a Western value system, what we consider unethical in the Western World gets inverted in Chinese culture, both on the island and in Mainland China.

Witness some of the tensions at the interface, namely, the British-impacted and recently transferred territory, Hong Kong.

Key to our understanding is what we call a "bribe".

In the West, or in Western-oriented cultures, what is considered a bribe, is easily acceptable as a natural or an essential way of doing business in Chinese culture.

It follows therefore, Mr. Chou may have seen absolutely nothing wrong in bypassing our laws and "gifting" DIRECTLY, Saint Lucian borbolist MPs, instead of going through the legal channel of registering the monies by way of the Consolidated Fund.

Most, it would appear that over 95 percent, of our half-ass talk-show hosts have neither read, nor fully understand, nor ever routinely ask for unbiased legal help in interpreting our laws, if they engage such topics on their shows.

Crap continues to dominate our airwaves.

Did I read that Taiwan had undertaken an east coast road rehabilitation project to include a suspension bridge? ofcourse not! All I read about were the exuberance and squabbling over peanuts!

What does it take to get The Voice to drop this "jackass?

Anonymous said...

Good question 5:23. Victor Markey, the Voice Editor, will not drop the JACKASS Peter Josie, because Markey is a TOP UWP HONCHO, a member of the UWPwee Executive. He is very happy that the JACKASS Peter Josie is writing all this political crap. There is Markey, using the paper of the late distinguished Sir Garnet Gordon, in the interest of his Party's dirty politricks. Sir Garnet supported the UWP at one time, but he would happily die again before he could consider supporting today's UWP and its pack of goons, tax evaders and criminals, who killed the great John Compton.
