Before I commence I must state that this entry is not being made to bash or criticize the present government in any way. Since I know that some individuals who may read this blog are opposed to the current administration.
Anyway our p.m. tied on the knot on saturday!!!..woohoo rite?!?!...not really..News about the p.m. nuptials began circulating the airwaves from last week Thursday. This sparked some discussion in my G.P. class the next day. The man has known this lady for nearly 20 years and he doesn't see it fit to make an honest woman of her and marry her?!?!...You're living with someone for so long in what we officially call a "common-law union"..can't you just make it official and marry her..what would be big difference? From what I've read, heard and seen..she has a stable career, takes care of herself so what was the problem. Also when she had to travel with the p.m., what did he introduce her as?..his girlfriend? his jabal? his friend? his partner?...As the prime minister of a country isn't that just a bit embarrasing?...It is rumored that it posed a problem in St. Lucia when she had to be seated at the opening ceremony of the conference. The head honchoes specifically catered to seating for the wives of the heads of delegation so therefore what did she fit??..Thank God they are married now..so this tiny embarrasment has been eliminated. Our dear p.m. isn't the first to get married while in office...so did the leader of the opposition. Also, there are other prominent politicians who also do deem it necessary to marry the women with whom they have been leaving for years and years.
Here comes the true reason for my entry...the adults of this St.Lucian are very hypocritical. They engage in fornication, procreate and have a jolly good time without getting married. Yet when the youth emulate their habits, they are quick to chastise and criticize them. Do they expect any less when they haven't been good examples themselves? They have taught us that is ok to to live together 5,10,15 even 20 years without getting married.. So when we wanna start dating and have a steady boyfriend, even go live with him. Why do yall have problem?!..That is what I wanna know. Even more so, some of these elders are frequent church goers and believe that they are saved but don't these activities go completely against the the teachings of the bible? Embarrasingly I'm not familiar with the bible but I know that that particular tidbit is somewhere in there. No I'm not being all self righteous and shit. No, I'm not gonna condemn people because they living with and having sex with their boyfriend or man or whatever. Hell I don't even know what I believe anymore. I'm so disillusioned and fed up with the hypocrisy in this life...even when I myself exhibit it. Yes we don't wanna be tied down by marriage but my goodness if you're spend so many damn years with someone don't you think you should try to be on the straight and narrow as best as you can?..Don't tell me that a man is living with a woman for nearly 25 years and has children with her. After so much time, you know why he wants to marry her? because his eldest daughter has started dating and it would be quite hypocritical if he starts dishing out advice. Don't you think so too?
Yeah so I think I'm done..I should be studying Spanish literature and preparing my Spanish orals on "the evolution of the conception of homosexuality in Spain"..another controversial topic which I may blog about later on. but here I am procrastinating yet again...but this is a lil of the stuff which have been on my mind...you read all this?!?!..bravo..lol..until later

ill get back to that post later..
BUT NICCEEE
Wow ... you brought up some really strong points there ... some of which I've never even thought about. The grown ups fornicate all their lives, never get married, but yet still they want to lecture us about getting married and all of that. Such bull!! Its like having a lifetime alcoholic lecture us about not drinking.
But honestly, I don't really believe in all that marriage crap. To me, if you have been with someone for a long time, and you two are happy and comfortable, why should you get married? I think that getting married is a choice and not an obligation; some couples get along better as just partners/common-laws than as husband and wife. Thats just my take ... I just feel that the adults need to stop lecturing us about the very same thing that they're doing.
As for the PM and his new bride - I just don't see what the fuss is about the two of them not being married because its their choice, and anyone who thinks that he should be married because he is the PM is just being a hypocrite. There's nothing embarrassing about the PM having a girlfriend and not a wife. Society just wants us to think that way.
yea the hypocrisy of our elders huh?...yeh there's nothing wrong with it...I was thinking about it in that way too...its the society which has us thinking that he should be married..then u cud also reach on the bible and all of that good stuff...that in itself could open a whole can of worms soo...just a few of the things I've been thinking of and pondering on for the past few weeks...more 2 come...since i'll probably be having more time on my hands in the next few weeks
