Why is Fredo quiet on this subject?
Again?...wear-boy!!
Shame on you!!
Those arse-whole politicians.
Jimmy, stop the nonsense and let the people know that it is too late. Do not waste the tax payers money. I met one of the inspectors who qualified the site and when he discussed the developments which had taken place, he told me that the PMA would be taken off the list. This is a national disgrace and every St. Lucian should be held responsible.
St.Lucia, where the government and the people are penny wise but pound foolish.
How on earth can we allow the development of a few villas and restaurants to take precedent over the World Heritage Status of the Majestic Pitons? For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed to be a St.Lucian.
People took interest in the Pitons because of its World Heritage Status; now, we can brace ourselves for a decline in tourism.
"...how on earth can we allow the development of a few villas...", because of bobols, monies paid under the table to some ras-good-for-nothing-slime-ball-hole, that's is why, anonymous.
Like you I am ashamed to be a St Lucia. I live far, far away in an ALL WHITE state and when I say I am from St. Lucia, the envious, wonderful, good natured compliments I receive, you would not believe!
They comments would go from to, "What are you doing here and not in paradise", "Jesus, PLEASE take me there with you", "I would give my life to be in St Lucia right now" and so on.
Meanwhile, we are bent on destroying everything positive about this island. What a shame?
SMH head in utter disbelief and disgust at those crooked politicians,
QUESTION: What are St Lucians and their ELECTED, crooked politicians?
ANSWER: St Lucians are a bunch of gullible, self-destruct individuals, and their ELECTED politicians are worse; their ELECTED politicians are hell bent on destroying anything in a positive light in this lovely island, as long as they can benefit illegally.
Thank God I made my exit decades ago.
The politicians are coming out of the same pool of the population. What do you expect? If it was a St. Lucian interested in building the Villas in the Piton Area, his plans would have been rejected. Jimmy where were you when these things were happening? You too have a part to play in this disgrace. You kept quiet and now you are behaving like a Messiah.
Amen, above...mem bette men pwell (just different days), the politicians are a reflection of the general populace.
St. Lucians are a bunch of losers. They elect jackass politicians with absolutely NO sense of awareness of issues like custodianship or guardianship of our heritage.
These crude country-boukeyes believe that once they wear a suit, and more than enough idiots vote for them to fix roads and potholes, they have made it.
Looshans elect idiots like the last PM who does not know bull foot from bull cow how to run a country. Nowadays he is running his mouth like the retard that he is.
We elect JAILBIRDS, and make them ministers. Thanks to the people of Choiseul!
We elect drug lords killing young people on almost a weekly basis.
We elect more idiots who would care less that our lands would pass from us to foreigners or we have to payout money for what we previously owned, like Black Bay.
Above...TRUE, TRUE, TRUE,TRUE...your correct observation. I am so, so glad and thankful to God I made my exit out of this god-forsaken place.
Huh, tell me which country, island, isle or whatever they are referred to, having such an accolade bestowed on them and subsequently reject the guidelines to maintain that status! As a blogger often say, it's only an IDIOT people and IDIOT island.
IDIOT ISLAND; IDIOT PEOPLES! Putiiing personal bobol, illegal money before island. Already, due to the financial meltdown in 2008, tourists don't travel as before to the island, added to that insult.
Why, oh heavens why, can't one of those miscreants politicians be held responsible and go to jail for bringing St Lucia to its knees.
I am tired of my country being sold to foreigners piece by piece while st lucians dont benefit from these developments except serving as servants in the house of massa whether it be hotels or holiday homes. these type of developments just inflate land prices and prevent st lucians from owning a piece of the land that our enslaved ancestors toiled on day and night. and no politician seems to give a damn about the results of their so-called development. its time to review development strategies beyond sea sex and sand and encourage entrepreneurship just like the asian countries did to get successful. we dont need bloody mansions built near the damn pitons! this type of foolish development is not sustainable and politicians who encourage it need to put on the brakes because its getting too late!
what land the whole soufriere unesco zone is on a precarious gradient slope..there are plenty of areas to build i would think..but most of the land is unliveable in my view..
i would prefer seeing a hotel with 400 rooms that can employ 500 lucians than to hold on to this world unesco site .. i know the gov of the day did alot to try to get this title but at the end of the day the Pitons can still sell itself although this unesco title does alot of attention & brings in tourists who would otherwise not even pick at our island .. there lies the conundrum
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
Members of parliamemt are political astronauts,
launched from cramped quarters under unthinkable conditions,
Products of careless selection,
lacking the process of rigorous training.
Psychological,physical and emotional wrecks,
forever creating problems,performers of acrobatic stunts.
Hostile to the environment,
lacking air circulation,living off other's supply,
escaping the pull of people's gravith taking velocity.
Speed change from zero to rapid acceleration,
interferes with treasury circulation,causing loopholes in government income.
Those astronauts do not care a damn,never can explain their position.
They distance themself from the mass blast,
while the working class can kiss their ass.
The foreign owners of Jalousie and Ladera knew very well that the Pitons could lose their World Heritage Status if they expand their resorts; nevertheless, they went along and did just that.
Why don't we kick such idiots out of our island. The few jobs they provide don't worth the headache and shame they bring to all St.Lucians.
Of course they knew! Why, they could not nor would they have done that where ever they are from. From all I know, they too, may have come here with "a hand in front, and a hand behind"...subsequently, they are bourgeois (spelling), aided by to get illegally rich here by all those corrupt politicians, seeking and begging for crumbs from those foreigner's table.
St. Lucians sell other St. Lucians like the Africans did in Africa. Same difference. Different period. No sense of dignity. Money talks. Just follow the money, if you can.
Once you get a kind of people who would vote for a god damn jailbird as their representative, you know that anything can happen.
Once you get an entire constituency voting for a drug lord as their representative, you know that such a country is on the skids! The d-EVIL takes the hindmost.
This can only happen in Saint Lucia because of the bovine characters that make up our governments.
Saint Lucians they say have the lowest IQ in the WORLD.
This claim and this PMA issue really support the view that Saint Lucia is truly idiot country.
I read with interest all of the above, yet I don't read what LUCIANS plan to do about it, other than what they seem to do best.... TALK and critise!
You all complain about the foreigns taking over your country, yet what are Lucian's doing other than complaining about it?
Why aren't the banks investing in small businesses to help to stimulate the economy? This is one of the things that will get Saint Lucia back on its feet.
The Pitons will lose its recognition as a World Heritage Site, you just need to read the rules to see that. What is far more remarkable is that St Lucian's did not protest when they first found out what was going on. Why didn't you band together, organise marches and rally like you do when you are trying to get a party into power? Where was the unity required to show the Government that St Lucian's national landmark could not be sold for 30 pieces of silver?
Lucian's you all need to wake up and take action. You elected a Government to WORK FOR YOU ... to do a good job FOR YOU, yet you allow them to do what they want and just complain about them on a blog. A very productive use of your time.
I am proud my parents are St Lucian and I will always feel that way regarding this simply beautiful island, however I will never understand why the people of the country are such cowards, that they are happy to let Politicians do as they please. You guys have the power in your hands to do something about it, but you will probably just continue to write and complain on blogs such as this instead.
Much easier to critise and talk than actually do something I guess.
The people who most Looshans listen to on talk radio and talk TV are even much more ignorant than their listeners.
Those drop-outs and half-educated retards take great pride and strides to promote other retards like the last prime minister as suitable leaders for the darn and blighted country.
How progressive do you think those people can ever be?
How aware do you think these country-bookies can ever be, it is too much to ask when, one classic country-bookie for example, in chokie-collar and tie went public with a recommendation that the country should take IMF loanable funds and put that in a bank account. Then later, return it.
St. Lucia has a grand history of being led by a series of complete idiots and thorough asses! Totally un-sophisticated and unpolished jackasses!
Only in St. Lucia! Just when you think it couldn't get much worse. I can't think of another OECS country that would allow this to happen. We just don't care. We have no Pride period!
There is an old saying that goes like this: "If you abuse what you have been given, it will be taken from you."
As an island, St Lucia was given more than most of the rest of the Caribbean and we have NEVER developed it properly - St Lucians seem to be a doomed people!
We have to find a way to destroy this curse!
We must change our morals, our thoughts, and actions.
BUT HOW?
We have to take this challenge seriously because it's already TOO LATE!!
"St Lucians seem to be a doomed people!
We have to find a way to destroy this curse!"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Speak for yourself!!!!!
Fool at 5:00AM, I did speak for myself, but your statement only proves that you are one of the cursed. For a person or persons to change, first they must acknowledge the problems and faults that reside within themself, then and then alone can that person begin the process of changing his-or-herself.
Writer at 5:00AM, you have missed the boat of life: indeed, it really does seem too late for you in particular.
"Writer at 5:00AM, you have missed the boat of life: indeed, it really does seem too late for you in particular."
-------------------------------------------------------------
It's funny! When I looked back, I saw your boat coming behind mine; but you were unable to make any progress.
I would be heartbroken if the PMA was de-listed as a World Heritage Site, but I think that it should be de-listed. This incredible honor granted to the PMA should have made all St. Lucians feel extremely proud and fight too keep it protected so that future generations could be proud of this amazing natural wonder. Instead, [insert the idiots that be here] spit on this honor and decided to sell our precious country for a few dollars that would go into their own pockets. There was no giant uproar by St. Lucians like they what we hear when government decides to not fund carnival. There was no giant rush to protect this area like they protect their rum and fetes. No one cared when word of what was going on came out and I doubt they care now.
I think that St. Lucia needs to start learning some hard lessons. It is one thing when lucians disrespect rules and laws in their own country. When you have complete and utter disregard and disrespect for the rules and laws of international organizations that you wanted to be a part of then you must face heavy consequences.
In my opinion, the people of St. Lucia never appreciated how big of an honour this was. St. Lucians and the leaders who represent us have proven themselves time and time again to be careless, disrespectful ingrates who want nothing more than to revel in 3rd world status. The area should be de-listed. Maybe the fall out from such a de-listing might teach us to be more appreciative and respectful of ourselves and this beautiful country that we are blessed to wake up in everyday.

You must be joking! If it did not mean a darn thing to these nincompoops that the people elect like low-life jailbirds, messenger boys from Compton's office, a drug lord representing an entire constituency that wants this scumbag for PM, a slime-ball doctor who would sell patients records for profit, a routine half-educated country-bookie who doesn't know one darn thing about the IMF, a failure from a failed regional airline who couldn't come clean before an Appellate Court, do you believe that such a bunch of real bums would care two hells what happens next? They cast pearls before swine. Country-bookies are always going to behave like country-bookies.
Saint Lucia has been and is being literally led by a veritable bunch of jackasses!
Jackass Compton for example, saw the writing on the wall for bananas, and that banana farming rustic knew no better than to drop the failed economy and society into the hands of Vaughan Lewis.
Then the mindless hordes of morons in that doomed UWP party could not see past their blasted noses and removed Lewis and replaced Compton. Compton obliged. He went happily to back to promising milk and honey with bananas again! Back to failure!
Good Lord! How more stupid can Saint Lucians get?
Compton had not one single idea how to run a country without taking care and making way for his banana farm.
Had he been anything more than a mediocre lawyer he would have remained fully employed there. But Saint Lucians re-elected him to do the same darn thing that he had failed in convincingly and miserably before?
Let us face this very uncomfortable truth.
Our rustics and their offspring from the plantation economy from colonial times, especially those in khaki skin are not progressive thinking people as such.
They are on TV and on radio, in the parliament and elsewhere perpetuating the status quo.
How did you ever come to expect that their office/messenger boys, field hands and selected broomsticks will to do better and push the country forward with even less education?
St. Lucians are born losers. Anything that a red looking man does is right for them.
Imagine that in the days of slavery when they could have killed their slave masters, they decided to hide their French masters from the British soldiers.
Those losers still had their tails bargained away to the British at the negotiating table by the French.
Saint Lucians are short-term thinkers. They would sell their own mothers just for a few quick pieces of silver.
"Imagine that in the days of slavery when they could have killed their slave masters, they decided to hide their French masters from the British soldiers."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Haitians killed their slave masters and look at Haiti today; St.Lucians are smarter.
At least Haitians have a greater sense of humanity. They understand freedom. The writer up there is still a slave not the least mentally.
When will we ever learn. Our leaders are willing to sell the country's heritage to the lowest bidder, and cry later, when the backlash of their inepitude kicks them to the curb; for there is no honor among thieves. Pray for the conservation of the Pitons as treasrued heritage of the Island of St. Lucia. Pray that it remains prestine and escapes the glare of les gauche de vinge foraging the natural resources of earth.
