Has the thread "Why do we always agree with each other on the board" been removed? I saw it this morning and decided to participate but now i can't find it! Anyway... somebody had posted there that Jatland members come on board because they are bored and have no friends and because they are away from their families (these are the only reasons he could come up with, unfortunately). To the poster of this opinionated statement, i would like to say that this is not true regarding all Jatland members. Some of us including me have been in this country long enough to have life outside of the board and i personally know members who have been here for more than a decade. The poster also was of the view that helping our poor community members by giving away money was the only way to show compassion and that members on board avoid doing that. How does the poster know if we have or have not made a difference in our community, in our own ways ( rather than his way which can only be through money). I hope i have made the point.
