The virus is out there and it’s spreading. Trust God, not the government. Rely on daily statistics posted online by the CDC. Practice social distancing, wear a mask, stay at home and stop complaining. That’s all you need to know.

Spoken like a typical back seat driver. Blah blah blah, complain complain complain.... that’s all we Bahamian people do. No matter who takes office, all we do is criticize. One faction of people are criticizing the PM for not opening the boarders while the other faction is demanding it’s closure. No one is ever good enough to satisfy our arm-chair demands. Do you realize that if you were the PM we would be saying the exact same thing about you?
The COVID19 virus has taken the entire world by storm. There is no blueprint on how to deal with it. There is no protocol or scientific algorithm that we can apply to stop its spread. As scientist, we are learning as we go, simultaneously collecting critical data that may be helpful to our study. The only reason that Dr. Minnis reopened the boarders was to attempt to stimulate the economy. If we place this decision in its proper perspective, it at least makes logical sense. Every decision made by every global leader bears a heightened level of risk, thus its placed under a microscope. Some decisions are good, while others (in hind sight) are not so good. But like I said, “we are all learning as we go”. The only thing that Dr. Minnis can do is follow the suggestions made by global Health Care professionals.
So please stop with the ignorance and stupidity. Use inductive and deductive logic to assess the situation. Use socratic questioning and critical thinking please. Use reasoning and stop blurting out every piece of rubbish that comes to mind.

What in the world do you me he “has no proof to support his claim???”
You can’t be serious! Have you been living in the Bahamas for the past 10 years??? Nobody with sense listens to anything Brave Davis has to say.

@Godson. Why are you so sympathetic towards these gun-totting criminals??? Do you have relatives or family members who have been charged and sentenced for such crimes??? It’s been historically noted that family members of criminals usually sympathize with the criminal element while law abiding citizens usually advocate for the death penalty. Hmmm 🤔

Cobalt says...

No no no! There is no vacancy of knowledge here! We are simply telling you that there is no excuse for criminal behavior nor should you mitigate that fact! Furthermore, who would “appreciate a vacancy of knowledge”? That makes absolutely no sense. Maybe you should have used the word “acknowledge” instead of “appreciate”. Either way, if your reasoning had any credibility, then the magistrate wouldn’t be sentencing gun-totting criminals to jail! So I ask you again; what do you contribute to the betterment of our youth??? People like you just run their mouths out of a misplaced sense of emotions..... then you get upset when others correct you! When you have the opportunity, go sit in the Supreme Court and listen to a murder trail! The judge would reiterate the same thing I’m saying!

I’m trying to figure out what he’s talking about right now!

But you don’t know who I am either to make such statements! Both my brother and I operate a Boys Club in Nassau to influence adolescent teens! That’s how I know that too many of these homes are in disarray! We actually funded the Hugh Campbell Basketball Tournament as well as the Public Primary School Track and Field Meet! So what do you contribute??? You don’t know what I’ve had to contend with any more than I know what you’ve had to contend with! Furthermore, you’ve just unwittingly solidified my point! A rough upbringing is no excuse for criminal behavior! Like you said, many of our prominent men grew up on the rough side of the mountain yet did exceptionally well for themselves! There are no excuses in this life and there are no excuses before God!

Cobalt says...

Social and moral distraction???? Social media???? Who’s problem is that if you are controlled by such things??? When we stand before God he’s not going to ask us about what some pastor or priest said! Every generation has distractions to deal with! It sounds like you are trying to cast blame on surrounding circumstances regarding ones social environment in an attempt mitigate unacceptable behavior! Either way, it doesn’t matter. If personal circumstances and perception are able to influences your position as it relates to moral, then that means you never had moral to begin with! All it means is that wherever the tide or wind blows, that’s the direction you would follow! And if that’s the case, then your personal character is flawed! No matter what age or timeline one lives in, he/she will always have moral and ethical dilemmas to contend with. But if you have a good foundation and you are grounded in truth as it relates to moral, then you will not me moved! Don’t try and blame circumstances for someone who lacks basic principles. If someone lacks principles then they are responsible for that deficit, not surrounding circumstances! We are all responsible for our own actions buddy!

Our grandparents and great grandparents had less tools, social conveniences and money than we ever had. They grew up in poverty and thru faith lived day by day. They believed in hard work and an honest days pay! But one thing they did have was respect for others!
The only “mechanic” that is missing in today’s society is proper parenting! Raise up a child in the fear, wisdom and nurture of God, and as he grows he will not depart from it! The HOMES are the root of the crime problem! They lack moral construct and responsibility! Speak the truth and call it what it is!

Please stop blaming the government for other people’s choices! God gave every man and woman the choice to do right or wrong! Each choice lies in that individual’s keeping. What does the government have to do with me choosing to pull a gun on you?!?! The only thing the government can do is prosecute murderers within the boundaries of the law! If you want to blame someone, blame the offender!
