I see some people vex when topics other than football pop up and tek big stage, they say they want to keep it on football only. I say...
Easy yu self, star! You want to read only football, then read the football threads and stay away from anything not related to football. If everyone else having a good time talking about yaad issues, why you want to spoil it? Cho neckback!
If the topic will dead, it will dead. If you don't like it, don't read it. That simple.

A no that Geoff, most a dem can't deal with the truth and them rather to talk foolishness to pass time than engage in arguments of much substance that points us all in the right direction.
Well, whoever don't like to hear social issues can go jump off in a sea, in other words dem a go tired fi see mi face. I for one will forever be posting social issues that I see affects my people the most so all the none believers can carry on their bitching. Peace.

Don't be so unbending Red. This issue has come up before and it escapes me why it is even an issue. If you don't like something don't read it. Without the other stuff the forum would only be interesting at game time. Even then, it would not hold my interest because it would be too shallow. Life isn't a part of football, football is only a part of life. We can only state and restate why we should use the 4-4-2 instead of the 5-3-2 so much.

TAKEN FROM THE JAMAICA DAILY GLEANER
Antonnette Haughton to head new political party
Haughton-Cardenas
RADIO TALK SHOW host Antonnette Haughton-Cardenas has decided to step out from behind her microphone at Radio Jamaica (RJR) and leap onto the political platform.
Mrs. Haughton-Cardenas, who is also an attorney-at-law, resigned Friday as a host of RJR's 'Hotline' talk show, to begin her political career next week with the launch of a new political party the United People's Party.
Yesterday, she shunned questions from the media. But her spokesperson, Grace Alexander, moved quickly to quash suggestions that the party would be a "women's club"
"Absolutely not. We are not targeting women, we are targeting everyone. We would like to have a balanced party so we are targeting everyone," she insisted.
Mrs. Haughton-Cardenas, was one of the key members of Women Working for Transformation (WWT), a women's group launched last year during an upsurge in violence. One of the organisation's main objectives is the creation of "a new kind of leadership" in the country."
One source suggested that WWT will work as a filter for the new political party, but Ms. Alexander categorically dismissed any link between both organisations.
In a statement yesterday, Mrs. Haughton-Cardenas said the party has been founded "on the deep belief in the tremendous history and great potential of Jamaica and on an unwavering faith in the goodness, decency, talent and hard working energies of the majority of the Jamaican people."
The launch comes against the background of traditionally poor showings by political parties which have emerged as alternatives to the People's National (PNP) and the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
The National Democratic Movement (NDM), formed some five years ago, is still struggling to survive.
But this, apparently, has not dimmed Mrs. Haughton-Cardenas' optimism. Said the former talk-show host in her statement: "The party brings a new energy and a new spirit to the country and is committed to catalysing the true spirit of the greatness of our people."

I believe we cannot get any worse as a nation if we have a parliament which does'nt include the PNP & JLP(they both should be banned from the electorate). I hope to God Mrs Haughton-Cardenas is for real. The sooner we can kick these existing PUNKS into the section of our 'unfortunate history' the closer we are in claiming back the JAMAICA LAND WE ALL LOVE.

I ditto that br. Both JLP & PNP should be disbanded, disolved and exterminated...taking their political leaders, cronies gunmen and assasins with them and put in our sorry part of history. For almost 4 decades we have been ruled by these incompetent fools.
We need fresh minds, new vision and a solid direction to lead our people out of poverty and distress. We need Jamaicans from all over the world - proven businessmen, lawyers, doctors, economist (sorry no politicians), bankers, engineers, computer techs, etc. to form a solid party and lead the country out of the 3rd. world into a high tech exporting nation such as Singapore.
We have the largest natural resources possible to do the job - our manpower. So Jamaicans lets unite and take back our country and get rid of these fools.

New political party is born
Antonnette Haughton-Cardenas, president of the newly launched United People's Party (UPP), is given a warm hug by this supporter, while others look on after the party was launched at the Hilton Kingston Hotel yesterday morning. (Photo: Michael Gordon)
THE United People's Party (UPP), Jamaica's newest political organisation, had a soft launch yesterday and immediately signalled that its driving philosophy was a new nationalism influenced by Garveyism, Christianity and the vision of People's National Party founder and National Hero, Norman Washington Manley.
The UPP also made it clear that if it formed the government, it would, as a priority, establish an independent body to investigate police abuses.
Approximately 200 persons witnessed the birth of the new party at the Hilton Kingston Hotel where founding president, 47 year-old Antonnette Haughton-Cardenas, attorney-at-law and former radio talk show host, made a point of refraining from bashing other political parties in acknowledgement that many positive developments had taken place in the country since Independence. But she argued that a "new car" was now needed to further advance the country's development.
"The energy in the country said to me that we needed to unite through a different process... staying positive. You can actually do this without blaming other people (or parties) for anything," she said.
"We have to build love even when a man disagrees with you. It is one Jamaica and one purpose and we are going to come together to build an incredible Jamaica... This is a name brand country... We need to hug up that very specialness that is Jamaican and turn it into dollars in our people's pocket."
Betty Ann Blaine, social activist and UPP vice-president, said she decided to co-found the party because she "simply refused to accept" existing conditions in the country.
"I absolutely reject the idea that ...our people must forever be poor... I could no longer stomach the glaring abuse of the young lives in our country," said Blaine, the founder of Youth Opportunities Unlimited, a mentoring organisation.
The new party quotes Manley in its literature:
"I affirm of Jamaica that we are a great people. Out of the past of fire and suffering and neglect, the human spirit has survived -- patient and strong, quick to anger, quick to forgive, lusty and vigorous, but with deep reserves of loyalty and love and a deep capacity for steadiness under stress and for joy in all things that make life good and blessed."
In addition, Haughton-Cardenas noted that the party was depending on "prayer power" and invited members of the audience to join a prayer chain that has been set up.
She said the vision of the UPP included: "To create conditions under which our people know that their efforts will create a dignified society and a people imbued with a healthy self-love; to re-educate our people from mental slavery to a culture of service; to strive for an end to class segregation and racial prejudice and to create a meritocracy".
The current positions, the UPP president pointed out, were interim and she indicated that at a later stage a conference will be held to democratically elect officers for the organisation.
The UPP, she said, advocated the parliamentary voting of financial resources to members of Parliament, so they do not have to run cap in hand to the Cabinet for resources to administer their constituents' needs. A similar position has been advocated by the National Democratic Movement.
Haughton-Cardenas also signalled that her party intended to contest the next general elections, due in less than 18 months.
Horace Matthews, the party's general-secretary, was more direct.
"We don't see the PNP testing its strength in local government elections, so the UPP expects and is preparing itself for general elections," Matthews told the Observer after the launch.
Matthews, a planning engineer for 20 years, who has worked with the Kiwanis movement islandwide, thinks he has the necessary skills to transform the UPP into a viable player in the political milieu.
"I was born in the inner-city areas of Kingston and I grew up in that area being a part of the whole political structure of both (major) parties. I have experienced both sides of the fence, so to speak. This has given me the organisational skills that I have."

While i've enjoy reading the views of my fellow yardman on the extremely depressing political goings back home, I can certainly understand why some might prefer the this particular link of focus on sports. For many peeps myself included sports is a daily escape from the politics and politicians. Even though, some may same that both are enternally linked. I personally start reading any newspaper from the sport section. And when politician get involved with sports you know the outcome. Or, some may say lack of involvement, ie. NATIONAL STADIUM. But I garantee that if the site was a politically name or oriented site we would have way less ites.
Bottom lines for me is the info I obtain on a daily basis. I know many peeps might views certain issues with great differecne than other, but they for the most part have displayed great tolarance and repect for others opinions. Ie, the HOMOSEXUAL TOPIC. I would love for this tolarance of ideas to trickle down to my fellow YARDMAN not voicing their views online but in everyday life.
