Thisours, like all things for auction, untampered merchandise is worth more. If I had a daughter and she possessed physical beauty there would be a cold day in hell before she's allowed to be paraded like a piece of meat in front of people in a superficial circus like a pagent. Young women need to realize it's the 21St century, get a education, get a career, and command respect. Enough with these stupid primitive activities.

Privileges of being wealthy.... We can speculate he likes her for her physical assets, she likes him for his $$$$, nothing wrong with a good business arrangement....

Unfortunately we have come to the point in our educational system where consideration has to be given to segregating the problem kids from the productive ones. Special Charter schools need to be created either through a combination of public and private funding to save the kids who are their to learn from the poorly socialized predators. Otherwise we take a risk of losing generations of kids who will receive no education and add to our social problems. No education can occur under the threat of violence or constant behavioral disruptions.

Honestman, I dont blame anyone for our trouble, I just suggest that there is nothing fascinating or virtues about our past colonial masters or the U.S. They have there issues as well. What I battle with is in the 21st century we as a people are still holding to these traditions that have no meaning and produce no national pride. It is the mentality of the slave still looking for validation from the master. When the American revolution was fought American established its own identity, it may have taking ideas and technological developments from other nations but it created its own ideals. U dont see American people kissing the ass of any queen, emperor or aristocracy. Infact most American's find it offensive to have any such thing or the unearned. Look at the way we treat each other and honor foreign accolades, that is what i object to, it is a slaves mentality. Everything has a foundation, our failure to evolved and develope our own people is what has screwed us over. Our politicians were more interested in drug money and kissing imperials ass than the education and development of our youth in the early eighties. what u see happening in the streets today are the results of decisions made over 30 years ago. Selfishness, ignorance, greed, self hatred is what's destroying us. Until we become a innovative self empowering people and stop behaving like uncle toms and savages i dont see any change.

Well_mudda_take_sic, I agree we have evolved into something I'm not proud off. But we took the worse characteristics of our colonial masters and instituted them. If u study world history for hundreds of years countries like England colonialized, enslaved, and murdered millions to build their empire so their hands are covered in blood. We have always behaved like slaves selling our souls to the highest bidder, prostituting ourselves, and turning our backs on our own people for personal gain or to benefit the few. Look around, we are slaves in our own country, we don't have a ownership society. We rely even on the privy council to make our most difficult legal decision in the 21st century. It is this slave mentality that has ruin this country. The country as a whole did not benefit from foreign investors, nor did we use our natural resources to better the country. That includes its educational system, or the diversity of economic opportunities. All our leaders did was kiss the masters ass, and sell out the rest of us just like uncle Toms do. That is why this place is infested with criminals. We destroyed ourselve, with self hate. So when I see us enamered by honours by our once colonial masters I get annoyed because deep down I know physical slavery may be over but our minds are still trapped on the plantation.

Bahamianpride says...

We are an independent nation and we do honor our own. Much respect and honor to the man, but we need to stop treating England like our colonial masters in the way we acknoledge and hold to standard their legal decisions and recognitions. Slavery is over, time to move on and establish our own identity.

Zachary you're wrong, when I grew up in Nassau the most important forms of authority was parents, family, neigbors, teachers, religious leaders, etc. I could remember a time when adults would check u for being out of line as a child. That changed with American ghetto culture socialization and the drug culture in conjuction with bad selfish economic decisions by our leaders who did not protect the future of the country. Serious investments in education and family planning were not made. Many of the politicians & influential families only cared about getting rich. Fast forward 2015 u now have a infestation of criminals. Zachary when police have to be constantly present or constantly involved we have reach a point where we have failed. Now we're asking them to fix 2 generations of screw ups. Good luck with that... I tell my family members if u don't want to be turned in don't be a criminal around me, the solution starts with us, not the police.

Bahamianpride says...

I like the definition he uses it highlights shames and classifies predators. The law should be take pedophiles and child predators out in the woods and shoot them once discovered.

Bahamianpride says...

The man is in a bad situation and forced to defend himself for a crime problem feed by social, political and economic factors out of his control. Lets face it many who want change will never report their family member who they know are comitting criminal acts, nor will politicians damand the prosecution of corrupt colleages. The comish knows comstat is b.s but the reality is no crime problem can be reduced without the people. Until we find a solution to deal with thousands of out of work young men who are poorly socialize, poorly educated forget about seeing anything but crime getting worse. You have to fight crime and fix the sources that breed more criminals simultaneously.

He is right, It's not the police fault crime is bad. It's the failure of an entire society especially tribalist who keep reelecting these useless political parasites.
