My comment is merely to show what a fickle piece of writing it was...do not take me wrong as I enjoy a large percentage of the pieces written... To bounce a fire…

I don't agree with you. There are no stipulations for participants in the Crop Over events because they are (and should be) open for everyone. Each person will decide what they want to do...wuk up or praise God; spin pooch or worship Jesus Christ. If the Christians chose to have a tent it is their choice...the 'sinners' don't 'allow' it. It is a Barbadian Festival for everyone. The festival is for all of us to celebrate the end of the Crop...which we don't do anyway. In most cases it's just a time to let loose for most people...get on wild and wassie. And that's fine if that's your thing. But I don't think it is fair to say we allow Christians to enter our 'sinful' Pic O De Crop competition. It is only sinful because people have made it so. If Christians chose to celebrate Crop Over by worshiping God ain't nothing wrong with that...they have a right to celebrate/participate in national events if they want to. As do the Hindus, Muslims and Rastafarians if they want to. But I am sure they won't invite the nation to participate in many (if any) of their events. The guidelines for a Christian competition will be way different from the guidelines for a secular competition. In most secular arrangements basically anything goes. I believe the focus would be on praising God firstly...not wukking up or grinding pon a bumpa. Nothing is wrong with stipulations and requirements...it saves from confusion and misunderstandings. In my view reciprocation will solve nothing. That's all...for now. Hi Peter. I don’t agree with you.

Crop over events are not classified by their promoters as "sin" events, so all are welcome to perform....however, a church/Christian event is just what it is Christian...

this is just another case of discrimination and barbados is full of this shit

yuh know something ??? !!!——–this society is in trouble –and it is based entirely on a lot of foolishness copied from the europeans who enslaved our forefathers—————-

the shit that they did to us has not been repaired and we believe in somethings that promote discrimination———we all know the history of christianity in this whole affair
a lot of what some people who call themselves christians in barbados do is fuel by a hatred of fellow human beings who they see as not better than them——as a result these so-called christians do not practise love, forgiveness or any of the examples that the master himself provide

columbus came to save heathen –he also came for gold and he DISCOVERED the west indies–the rest is history
we are still living the lie

and the problem that i have with the leaders in this society is that they have not identified this as something that needs to be corrected -
trust me it is at the heart of all of our problems–all all all

–so you would have something like what you have described -developing in this society

it is enough to make me puke

enough is enuff
