The Twitter Laws

Whereas there is a social media platform known as “Twitter”, and whereas there is a significant amount of Jamaicans on said platform; and being that there is the tendency for huge disagreements and arguments to start; and consequently people get their feelings hurt; and whereas there is no standard set for the use of Twitter; be it resolved that we, Jamaicans, so gathered, hereby adopt this blog post as our  governing law. Be it further resolved that any breach in the law shall be met with strict teasing and ridicule.
