All that "runnings" you talking bout involves peeps who represent about 1% of the population. The same shyte happens here too and in every country on God's green earth. It's why ordinary every day peeps in Guyana can't understand why we farriners hutting we head over them. ::lol::

That is true and yet the lines at the embassies are long, even other smaller Caribbean countries have an influx of Guyanese .. why is this?
While I would agree with you Snoops, that many Guyanese are quite happy and have no desire to leave, I would posit that for every one that feels that way, there are a hundred longing to get out and would go to any lengths to do so ...
