I like apologies. I don't think they have to be big extravagant spectacles. However, I think it is important to acknowledge that there was an issue and move on. I really don't like when people just show up and start being nice again.

Actually caring about people can be so frsutrating because even if they care about you, if it is not expressed in a way that resonates with you, you will easily feel neglected by the perceived lack of reciprocity.

Removing the Queen as the Head of State no matter what issues your country is facing shouldnever be trivialised as empty symbolism in my view. It is as powerful a symbol as the flag itself & any other national paraphernalia. It is a symbol that says this land is OUR land.

I may be in the minority but I don't think reparations should be given in a monetary form. I think opportunities and services should be given that enhance the human resource directly. Example: free tertiary level education within the UK to all Commonwealth Caribbean nationals.

Everyone has an accent btw. You cannot hear your own accent because you are so accustomed to hearing it. Similarly, if you need someone new and don't hear an accent their accent is probably very similar/identical to yours and that's why you don't hear it.

We also have to accept that at least in the Caribbean a cry for help is going to be subtle because we are taught from young not to tell people our problems and "be strong". So if someone really cannot manage it will be rare to hear them say so in direct terms.

Having problems in a relationship is not a bad thing at all. People are different for a variety of reasons and will not immediately agree on everything. But what should give you pause is having a problem in a relationship and feeling unable to express it to your partner.

All jokes aside though it is very clear that not every CARICOM territory incorporates regional information and history into their education system. To me this contributes more to the hindrances of integration than economies do. This fuels the xenophobia, this fuels the ignorance

Is it so wrong to actually question the actions of your leaders. Is it so treacherous to query, comment or critique? The blind approval of everything that is done is concerning more than anything else. Can we just move away from the opinion that criticism is something negative.
