      Pride is a foreign concept to most of the imported Black folks.
      BVI is known for the character of its people which is their #1 resource.
      Hence they are self sufficient and do the giving.

    See the smiles on everyone's faces? This is what Christmas is all about, sharing and caring and helping those who might not have had a happy holiday. Good job to everyone involved in bringing happiness to many hearts, young and old. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.

    Poor kids of the world. The adults are brainwashed to these pagon holidays. Having your kids worship the devil is bad and putting them on a stranger's lap is totally sick. Why get mad if they sit on any man's lap them smh. Keep buying an Illuminati pyramid tree every year going against the Almighty. That's why man most fall from the lack of knowledge

      Wow you sound like fun! Did your momma not give you enough hugs?

      The spirit of Christmas, Satunalia, Kwanza, Hannuka or whatever holiday you celebrate can take whatever meaning you choose. But here's the thing: kids love toys and most of us love kids and we want to make them happy.

      Everyone has a right to choose their own path. Everyone has a right to practice his/her religion. The issue here is that we have this notion that our way is the right way and when people resist, we deem them evil. The problem is your mind. What would you think about if a kid with parents around and with a good cause sits on your lap? You may be the sick person here "As a man thinks, so is he"

    The easiest way to attract kids to your cause, whatever it is, is to show them some interest. Wish our Government and others could see this. These toys are like fish bait, there is a "hook" hidden in each.
