Let's see, so His Majesty's teachings are not applicable to everyday life? I was reminded of the quotes by a friend of a friend,a high school teacher here in Los Angeles , Malika Madremana,who wrote an excellant article in the new Reggae Festival Guide (go to Reggae Festival Guide Online for a copy)
concerning the trials and tribulations she faces from school admin, parents and fellow faculty alike for her unabashed Rasta beliefs, which she incorporates into her classes. She uses both quotes in her article. I cordially invite you to e-mail her,
madremana@gmail.com
and tell her she used His Majesty's quotes out of context as well, as she is more better equipped to argue the application of Selassie's teaching to everyday life than I.

When I first cancelled my account because someone had misinterpret a statement I made in the forum ,I recieved several emails from other members who told me what happened to me was quite common on this site, and the reason they stay out of the forum. Perhaps those of you who feel I am making "the most pointless comment ever" etc,etc, should email Rob and have me banned from this site. I have the right to voice my opinion-Alionsonny has the right to voice his.
As do others,who choose instead to remain silent .(you know you want to-Ive been contacted several times by Rob already concerning complaints from members for things I 've allegedly said)
Bless

david why is everything such extremes - you get a bad reply so you delete your account, someone posts under a false name in the chat box and you cancel the interview. why dont you just step away from the computer and take a deep breath?

if people dont go on these forums because they think its full of fuckery then they obviously don't visit many other sites on the internet...thats all i can say

The interview was not cancelled-it has been moved to the forum . Fans of the artist in question were asked to submit there questions for first come/first serve consideration,as there will need to be some sort of order to prevent someone's question being accidently overlooked in the event it is submited during the typing of a reply or other factors. The choice to move the interview from the shoutbox is as follows:
Neither I nor the artists wife feel it will be very productive use of his time, or my time visiting the artist, to answer questions from "Bugs Bunny" or "Monica Lewinski" .
Additionaly, as I pointed out to Rob, the forum is also much easier to read/follow. Again, as I asked Rob, where /who are you getting this info (that the interview was cancelled?)

The forum is a much better place to do this david. It will preserve the interview. Chatbox is a one time thing and the content of the chatbox will not be saved. If i had my choice i would prefer any interviews in mp3 format loaded for anyone to listen to.

So why bother with the chat box at all? Surely the forum would have a lot more life (and the site a better search engine rating) without it.

It actually came in handy Tuesday,when checking on the members of the RDW Posse,California Chapter, after a reasonably sized Earthquake hit the coast
