Umm.... speaking of ignorance.... the last time I checked, this was not nazi occupied Germany. Its funny to observe how much your post superimposes upon itself. As a matter of fact, it reeks of ignorance itself. Your own post seems to be an indictment against you. I think your emotions have you a little unbalanced today, because you usually do post sensible comments. Your illustration of aldolf hitler, in this case, is a bit extreme and does not correlate with the above mentioned post or story. They are no concentration camps here in the Bahamas, nor will there ever be.
But here is something you should concentrate on. You can continue to blame the government.... if that makes you feel better. But I maintain my initial point of view. If you and others want to play the blame game, all I ask is that you not leave the Bahamian public out of the equation. We the people deserve some of the blame too. We make bad decisions much to often. Then we expect the government to right our wrongs and make provisions for our mistakes. Real life doesn't work that way.
Why do we always criticize the government but fail to criticize the citizens of the Bahamas???
The citizens of the Bahamas have a duty to perform as well, and like the government, we have failed at our jobs too. Bahamians people need to shoulder just as much blame as the government for the state of our country.
I said it before....... The Bahamian government is a microcosm of the Bahamian people!! They are nothing more than an extension of the everyday people we see walking and driving around on a daily basis!!
So while we are busy complaining about the government, we are failing to acknowledge that they are nothing more than a reflection of the people that they represent!! A lazy, dishonest, incompetent people deserve a lazy dishonest, incompetent government!!
When the Bahamian people change, that's when our government will change.
Solutions??? Why are you under the pretense that I am obligated to render any solutions???
The good Lord has given me the responsibility of my wife and our children.... that's it. They are the only people that I am responsible for or obligated to render any kind of resolve for.
This is precisely what I was attempting to convey in my previous post. I really don't understand why people like you are under the broad assumption that people such as myself or the government are responsible for rendering any kind of solution to this animalistic behavior we are seeing on our streets. Bahamian people need to find their own solutions and rid themselves of the idea that life or the government owes them something. The only solution that I have for tapering a wild animal is to place them in a cage away from civilized people. And that's exactly what these murderes are.... "wild animals" with no regard for human life. They are completely void of the components that distinguishes human being from a beast.
The sad truth is that this generation is a lost cause. All parents and citizens can do at this point is learn from our mistakes and take this as a lesson. Let this be a lesson to all that the carnage that we are seeing on our streets today is what occurs when we fail as parents and when we make bad choices in life. Bahamians need to understand that poor choices come with serious consequences. Poor choices are not just something you can brush off or treat flippantly. They result in what we are seeing today. All we can do at this point is start over with the next generation that is to come. Start instilling Christian values in our little ones today. They are our future.
Murder is NOT the government's fault. Murder is a social issue that is a direct result of dysfunctional homes. For the better part of two decades, parents have not raised their children with the proper morals and values needed to establish a functional society. As a result, these "dysfunctional" children have now materialized into "dysfunctional" adults.
Bahamians need to understand that the government is not responsible for babysitting their children..... nor teaching them proper values. That's the job of the parents!! The problem is.... we have too many irresponsible parents living in our country. They give birth to children that they can't afford. They attempt to raise children without teaching them the ways of The Lord. And many of them don't possess the skills that are in high demand in this age.
The government and police can only respond to murders!! If I pick up a gun or a knife and turn it on my fellow brother, then that's MY fault.... not the government. Government personnel can only act in retrospect to murder in accordance with the law.
Put the blame of murder where it belongs!!! The blame rest with the people of the Bahamas!! The very same everyday citizens we see on a daily basis engaging in a vulgar type lifestyle void of any dignity or decency. This post by no means includes every situation envolving the 121 plus murders. But it certainly point a finger in the right direction.
The PLP has 12 million dollars to waste on a gad damn, stupid carnival festival.... yet when Bahamians are facing a life altering crisis, the PLP throws them a measly 50 grand????
There's nothing going on in the Bahamas that isnt going on in the United States.
The reason that our crime crisis seems so profound is because our populace is concentrated and confined to a 7 by 21 island. Plus unlike the U.S. tourism is our number one industry. However, this gives them no right to take shots at us especially when they're responsible for the consumption of over 80% of the global narcotics consumption!
They want to talk about dangerous????? What other country in the western hemesphere do you know of where your children, even toddlers, can be riddled to death with high caliber weapons while attending school (ie Sandy Hook Elementary, Colombine Colorado)???? The United States needs to address their own problems before they address ours. Because the last time I checked, the Bahamas doesn't make guns. Instead, they're made and smuggled out of the United States. So why doesn't yahoo print that.

The Bahamas just can't seem to catch a break. This is negative international press that we don't need.
