"You can go back to the mainland...."

For those of you who don't read The Garden Island newspaper online you are missing out on one of the finest features, "The comments section."

Comments can be made on any article, but the best, meanest and fun comments can be viewed on the "Letters" page."

Most commenter's use an alias and screen name protecting themselves from slander, libel and even death threats.

The comments section is somewhat like group therapy, usually one person is really disturbed, another person person takes on a moderator, leadership role and everyone else chips in.

The most common negative remark goes something like this , " go back to the mainland," if you don't like barking dogs, cockfights, and keiki running wild in restaurants, or anything else that is disturbing that could be changed for the better.

I recommend checking out the comments page, in fact you can even start commenting yourself and become a member of a group therapy session, it's cheaper than Prozac.

According to my culture if you disagree with my thoughts you can go back to the mainland or anywhere else you may be from.
