Thank you a lot for giving everyone remarkably remarkable chance to read from this website.
It really is very pleasing plus jam-packed with fun for me
personally and my office acquaintances to visit your site really thrice per week to see the latest stuff you have.
And definitely, I am usually fulfilled for the special advice you give.
Some 3 ideas on this page are undoubtedly the best I’ve had.
God Bless Queen Rita for holding it down.Ms.Breakspeare needs to be horse whipped.You were sleeping with this womans HUSBAND!?!?!?Yet he never divorced her and married you.Damn fool.You say it was true love??Is that why he had a child after Damian???Karmas a beyotch,huh??Read Rita Marleys bio people.It’s deep.It tells you how she really felt about his”side chicks”.Yet she stayed with him and accepted his bastard kids.You better than me Queen,but I digress.Bob Marley was an ass that should have kept it in his pants but he gets a pass because of who he was.Rubbish.It takes two.Shameful.ONE LOVE
Our, hero, should be held up to a high. Because, our kids are going to look up to them. Do, you, really want t tell your kids that Bob Marley is a hero, but at the same time he has all these kids/baby mother. That, Biggie Small, 50 Cents & others are our heroes, when they were Drug dealer. Yes, they are successful, artist. But, their behaviour is not what you want our kids to emulate. And, I, am a black man.

Rasta is a form of Caribbean-African Judeo-Christianity, just as Christian as Emperor Haile Selassie I, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Ras Tafari, the Lion of Judah, keeper of the Holy Ark of the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem. Have respect!

This article is very interesting it provides plenty information about our one an only legend Bob Marley who will be forever love an remembered for his music an his memories. Its great to know that his children has followed in his footsteps an also become legends but still bob is the greatest and his music will always be cherished.
Good article and interesting web site, but please watch your typographical errors with the use of has and have. As a reminder, has is singular, have is plural. He has, they have, etc. These mistakes take away from otherwise good articles and web site.
Right on Sister! I live in an urban area and also teach at my neighborhood high school. My husband and co-workers call me the neighborhood “Grammer Consultant”. We have a very diverse population, primarily Hispanic families, sprinkled with Eastern African, Vietnamese and Iraqi refugees, whom are (naturally) English language Learners. I always stop at our local businesses and kindly assist them with business sign mispellings, grammerical errors, etc…Our neighborhood is also quite the place for young white “Hipsters”, “OG Hippies” , aging “Punk Rockers” and is approx. 30% GLBT who own homes here. My favority “consult” was a hand painted sign of this white guy’s tattoo parlor and body “peircing” shop.
I waited about three months before I was compelled to inform this guy that his business could be much more successful if he spelled the term “Body Peircings” correctly…..He changed the sign that same day.
So thank you Marie,for your brave efforts to remind writers to write correctly.
Whom means one among many. In the case of “… Hispanic families, sprinkled with Eastern African, Vietnamese and Iraqi
refugees, whom are (naturally) English language Learner” the correct word is “who” and not “whom.”
It is disrespectful to point out mistakes in public.
“The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too. So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you.”

A website written in Standard American English will look more professional to people who speak Standard American English. Email me privately and I will give you some ideas. This is a great website. The photos are wonderful. Thank you for your time.
Dude, spelling don’t matter just live life man
This is a really interesting article. The photos are terrific. I used one of your photos on a page with an interview we did with Ziggy that I published here: If this is a problem please let me know — peace.
