Another in a long line of badly written and nonconstructive comments on this website.

'Hysteria' says the world renowned climatologist. Another science denier and most probably anti-vaxxer Im sure. There is a consensus of opinion held by 92% of the WORLD'S scientists that CC is real and man made. Yet we have morons like you filling social media with all kinds of false information.

NATO and Nazi Germany are not exactly the same. Its a foolish comparison as is the statement that the two countries were warned by Russia about joining NATO. They are both sovereign countries with the right to join any organisation. It would be similar to the USA warning Canada or Mexico about joining a specific organisation.

You seem to be of the opinion that my view is somewhat biased , as you say by my 'political perspective'. There is no perspective here for you to apply. Both sides of the political spectrum have condemned this invasion.You don't have a'horse in this race' and I would gather not much knowledge on the subject either.. The fact that civilians lost their lives in the conflicts you listed does nothing to negate what's occurring in Ukraine. Judge this conflict for what it is and its context. You are trying to impart some false sense of equivalency with the listing of the other conflicts. They are all individual and separate in their own way. Do you have any knowledge of Russia's past relationships with its neighbours? It is the bully of the region. See Crimea and Georgia as examples.

Avidreader why don't you inform us all to the other side of this issue. You seem like you are very well read up on this subject. Justify Mr Putin's actions which involve invading a sovereign state and decimating civilians along with the military. And all because he has been brooding the last 10 years over the fact that Ukraine has demonstrated its independence by stating it wanted to join NATO amongst other things. Is that the other side you're alluding to? A sovereign nation wanting to join NATO?

If 85% of domestic killings are conducted by men against women you wouldn't define that as a gender issue? Are you being purposely obtuse? Morals and ethics are concepts instilled in people through many channels and they involve distinguishing between right and wrong. So your argument is these men commit these acts because they don't know that they are wrong or 'evil' to use your emotive, religious term. We should however not condemn them because in the very few cases that are the opposite dynamic ; women display the same lack of morals/ethics. Utter garbage. You acknowledge the perpetrator, be it male or female but the reality is that men are committing criminal acts when they abuse and murder their partners/wives. The fight against violence and abuse is NOT a moral or ethical one, but a criminal one. We need to start prosecuting more of these men and setting examples to the boys who unfortunately are witness to some of it.

You don't seem to get the point that is at the centre of this. There is no 'both sides' argument here. There is no 'not to complain' issue here. Those are outliers in this issue. The VAST amount of abuse is conducted by men against women. The VAST majority of domestic homicides are men killing women. There is no equivalency. All you are doing is deflecting by highlighting what you believe is men being overlooked by society in these cases. That is NOT a statistic that anyone with any type of understanding would say needs addressing over domestic violence perpetuated by males.

Men like you are really part of the problem. This need to attribute a false sense of equivalency in gender issues such as this, is beyond stupid and uninformed. Men are bigger and stronger than women. When it comes to gender based abuse be it physical or mental, men are responsible for 85% of the abuse and attacks. Do you comprehend that dynamic ? Its so overwhelming that there is no need for idiots like you to keep maintaining that there is some kind of level playing field at work here. Face up to and acknowledge that the abuse of women and girls is on the rise all around the world, not just here in The Bahamas and open your ears and mind.
