1. Another nut case!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.10.11)
Not because he is jealous of Jewish culture, but because he worships the defunct Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie! Yes Rastafaris believe Selassie was a God incarnate! Some of them believe that he is still alive and hiding in a monastery. Hard to believe there are still such nut cases that belive such nonesense!
2. ??????
James ,   Herzeliya   (07.10.11)
Your post is such a nonsense. Do not insult the beliefs of others as you would not like them to belittle your beliefs..
3. You are the nut case Maurice.

Why are you hiding behind an anonymous name? I guess you are ashamed of your support for such "nutcase" religions! Coward!
6. as they say in Jamaica "respect mon"
Barney ,   USA   (07.10.11)
because you don't agree with their beliefs does not make them a nut case. freedom is about the right to enjoy your beliefs. i have not seen any rastas forcing their beliefs on others through violence and hatred. i have not seen rastas persecuting their own for not believing in a certain type of rasta religion. live and let live.

Cameron ,   USA   (07.10.11)
A Jamaican subculture that specializes in smokin' de ganja praising Israel? Startin' to scrape the bottom of the barrel, baby!

11. #8 - it's not a sub-culture....
William ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
go learn about Rastifarian roots and beliefs. They are steeped in old testament teachings and hold high respect for Judaism, but not much for Christianity or Islam after it. You're beginning to act "Leftist" on us - quick to make opinionated comments without the knowledge or will to research what you do not know. Step away from the enticing dark glow, Cameron, and join us here again in the real world.
12. #9 - and this is your children on ritlin
William ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
good thing we have people like you to help set us morally straight. Outlaw marijuana while pumping countless other drugs, manufactured in labs, into society. Yep, very nice and moral. Now, I don't partake of the herb but do respect its commercial uses. For your knowledge, go research "william randolph hearst" and "marijuana" and you'll learn a lot about why its illegal.
13. I think this is a positive article
Jethro ,   Marquette, MI   (07.11.11)
I am Jewish and I am a huge reggae fan. The music is very much about struggling and suffering and has many ties to Jewish roots. The symbols, zionism and dietary laws are all tied to judaism regardless. It is a music that brings the two cultures closer. As jews we need to welcome friends...
14. How You Can Tell When Someone Is An Idiot
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (07.11.11)

who would win? why do israeli women marry non Jews?
17. It be de glow of de spliff, William mon
Cameron ,   USA   (07.11.11)
Again, praise from stoned to the bone Rastafarians is not a good sign. Bob Marley was the best of the lot, but Reggae is usually best for helping one fall asleep.
18. anyone ever see photos of his wife orly?
