I down with that!

If you could pull a fast one on a stupid leader all the time, then why not? I would want him to come back too if I thought he was soft and I could get by doing the most reprehensible crimes against the state without being punished or reprimanded.

suck my f------ teeth!

Tal, you wouldn't know truth if it hit you square in the face. At least not when it comes to good governance. Either you are remarkably naïve or you too are getting milk from the fat cow. This comparing the red team to the yellow team is frankly quite childish-I can't see why an adult would rant on with these types of frivolity in the midst of so much turmoil. You don't seem to get it that the PLP is currently in power, The present state of this country has nothing to do with any other party but the PLP. They made promises that they would change certain things and that they will put Bahamians first. Yet they have failed us from day one. They have failed Bahamians, not reds, yellow or green. But then again, failing is the PLP's Modus operandi - So don't tell me that the treasury was broke when they came in power or crime was already on the rise. The PLP promised that they would tackle this problem head on. Urban Renewal 2.0. Hello, remember that nifty commercial????The problem we have in this country is that we have too many loyal fans attached to these parties for the wrong reasons. In the end everyone suffers because you misguided people keep running back to the PLP and they keep juicing yall and sending yall back home empty handed every! If ya gon lie on ya back to get grind by this wutless party at least try to get something in return! SMFT

@John-Are you really following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the son of God???? Cause if you are, you are certainly not showing any signs of it. Jesus was the coolest man that walked the earth-He never got upset because people did not agree with his teachings. So please stop attacking everyone who does not agree with your theories. The problem with religious fanatics is that they are irrational most of the times. You said that Education was one of the things being attacked by the 'enemy'. (Satan I presume) **"Education (you get expelled for praying in school, but they will teach you evolution)"** Anyone who reads that sentence will deduce that you are saying that if evolution is taught in school, then prayers should be allowed also. So I don't know how you can call me deceitful or a blatant liar for pointing that out. Next you will be trying to cast out demons out of me ay? -:) Calm down my brother, we are all on the same page. I believe everyone who comments here are genuinely concerned about the direction our society is going, so no need to get your boxers in a twist

John, I am not deceptive. I didn't understand your comment. it seemed that you mentioned Finances along with evolution should not be taught in school. But now I realize that you are saying that Finances is one of the subjects under attack. My bad.

@John-Pray tell who is the enemy???
**You get expelled for praying in school, but they will teach you evolution**
Religion is really being attacked by religion. You have many Jehovah Witnesses and other religions who don't want their child to be a part of any school based religious studies, let alone praying in school. You see, religion is divided, so don't bring that as the basis of your argument. Are you saying that it is wrong to teach finances in school??? If that's what you are saying, then that argument does not even need a respond.
**Family (traditional family virtually disappearing and being replaced by single mother families and same sex families)**
Traditional??? Since you are using the good book as the basis for your argument, single parents have been around before Jesus' birth:"Hagar, a favorite Bible character, was the first single mother in the Bible, the first woman 'put away' or abandoned by her man" So in theory, nothing has changed. As far as same sex marriage is concerned, no one can produce any studies where this type of arrangement is linked to the decay of society or even more far fetched, there is no proof where same sex marriage is related to crime issues.

But I must say, you are some conspiracist now. Go around blaming everyone else or throwing around all these bullshit theories while missing the point that WE as bahamians are responsible for the mess that we are in. What is my answer to the problem? First of all let's remove religion and politics out of the picture. Not everyone is religious and as you mentioned, politicians cannot be trusted, they will tell you want you want to hear.

Bahamians need to stop being hypocrites to begin with. They say that homosexually is an abomination to God, yet they elect homosexuals to lead the country. They can't stand illegals, yet they hire them for cheap labour while overlooking Bahamians who need work. They talk out publicly about crime, yet they harbor criminals in their homes and communities. Stop the blame game and be honest about what's going on. When you are honest, then at least you know that you are heading in the right direction.

Quoting biblical verses does very little to solve any issue really! The church has failed and is really a part of the problem. You will note that countries that have the most churches are the ones that have the highest crime rates per capita. That is because everyone who goes to church do not want to take responsibly for what's going on, they want God to handle it all. The typical approach by so called Christians when something goes wrong, "We need to have a week of fasting and praying". When it should be, " Let's go out in the community and reach out to our lost youth and ask God for strength to guide us through this mess." OR "Let's use our church as an outreach community centre to help distressed individuals. We will pray with them and help them get back on their feet. We will even donate some of that offering we collected last week if we have to"

Agree with CatIslandBoy on this one. This man seems to be grasping at straws, blaming this one or the other for the lack luster performance of the police force. Sure it will take the assistance of the community. But the onus lies flatly on the commissioner himself to get the job done. Yes, we know that there is a lot of political interferences, the judicial system is a mess etc. But the fact still remains that the RBPF is really not effective as it could be, mainly because of corruption. Clean up the mess on the force and the community will start to respect the police department again. The release of the Cuban prisoners is an international matter which has nothing to do with the commissioner. Fact remains, this is not the first time ex criminals are being deported back to the Bahamas, USA do it all the time. Doesn't make sense to cry like a spoil child over the inevitable. If you cannot handle the job at hand, simply resign and at the same time expose those criminals in parliament that are holding this country down.

@Userone-Sorry, but like I always say, when you run for public office, you are susceptible to all kinds of criticism. People will say all kinds of things about you, some true, some false and some nasty. It comes with the position. Those who can't stand the heat in the kitchen, simply stay out! I tell you what though, when people see that you are doing wrong and are trying to harm them in some way, they will bring out your dirty secrets, just because they are mad and they feel no weight or guilt throwing a low blow your way. Sometimes this is a last resort. If Mr. Prime Minister was doing his job and looking out for the people, none of these talks would be floating around. Most people would think to themselves, "he is a good man and what he do in he private life ain none a my business."

And by the way Userone, you say people should stick to the discussion-The discussion centers around the man, who wants to stay on as leader of his party and God forbid hold the office of prime minister again should the PLP win the next election. In my opinion, one who vies for the highest office in the land should possess good moral standards, he should love his country and be a hard worker. He ain' none of the above.
The people are angry. What makes matters worst is that this man does not know that the people are angry. At least I hope he doesn't know, cause no one could be so stupid as to see the writing on the wall and keep on pretending that all is bright and cheery.
