Juss passing through. Sass

[Jawge]

Do you remember how you lectured me about Joshua giving loans to the poor in JA? As it turns out Joushua was 30 odd years ahead of his time. Tek yuh head outta dem text books (know thyself who write dem) Now look who's getting nobel prize. The way society is advancing, one cannot operate in fuedalitic practices and expect results. Two people asked me why Joshua did what he did for the poor in JA (seeing that he didn't have to) I told them I will give them his wife's email address. Hey these people are serious (after seeing blood and fire), anyway back to the topic:

RE: Juss passing through. Sass

Before you all say something ignorant, let me just state that there are institutions that practice the same lending policies as the Grameen bank right here in Jamaica. The findings have remained true - that they don't default as higher income borrowers and they tend to make their repayments on time, among other things.

Sass I'm sure that the money that was

given to the people by Joshua (with no collateral) was not for partying. It was given because since slavery many jakans could not get a loan to finance their dreams (memba di talk all mi want is a start). Sass if you had a business (no matter how small couldeven be a little shop),land to farm or an idea to do something, the soft loan was given to you. Now many squandered the money whilst others put it to good use (read the New testamnet and you will see many parables amplifying this point). The people were distracted and some did not believe in themselves so Joshua did not get a proper yeild. The concept above is the same appleid by Joshua. Had Joshua domestic policies succeeded JA would be poised to lead this region in the info age. At this point in time JA does not have a vibrant middle class, themasses are without quality education and they are lost on the concept of self reliance. Please don't tell me about inflation or growth when Joshua gave out those money because guess what? It's still a problem now, at least it shifted some of the wealth to the descendants of slaves on the island (hence we see some well to do and educated Jakans strutting around on TV in JA)
