It's not often a small Caribbean island makes such a mark on the world... a third world country at that. I don't think Jamaicans are special i know we're special, and even if it is arrogance, i don't care, if other countries can be arrogant and sing about how special there country why can't we do it.

Even the arrogance. We're special because we think so. Textbook definition of ethnocentrism. What's the saying? Self-praise is no recommendation.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's nice to hear a Jamaican bigging up his country for once. Amen to that! Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I remember reading your 2008 New Years prediction regarding Jamaica and it is in contravention to the views that you are now positing.As a matter of fact, it was all doom and gloom, even a tsunami was predicted.Your new found nationalism is very positive and intriguing.Indeed, there must be some revelation or epiphany with respect to your radical transformation regarding the land of wood and water, despite all its sores, scabs and warts.Brethren,nothing is wrong with loving your country, and displaying a sense of nationalism and patriotism.RESPECT!!
