You would think that it was sufficient, only yesterday, Adrian Gibson was brought before the court, for us to now learn.

Man, you'll make it a shameful enterprise and endearment to be known as a Bahamian.

You would think that the Prime Minister would have been keen TO prevent such a fiasco of thievery.

NEVER... under Mr. Hubert Ingraham.... NEVER!!!

What is the matter with us? Why can't we stop stealing?

It will not be civil on my part to be quiet on this issue, however, the expressions by all sides of the narrative are both extreme to the actual fact and issue that exist for the marriage. It is a serious social weapon that will lend only to our destruction.

The issue, in and of itself, represents a distorted but problematic domestic conflict that exists as a consequence of an error in individuals, including politicians and clergymen, understanding of the social purpose and framework for which marriages serve.

But that being said, few in leadership possess the insight and intelligence to counteract the problem without destroying the Country - as it is said, "they will throw out the baby with the bath water".

Whatever the decision will be, with respect to legislation, please note that there will be serious social consequences to Parliament invading the sanctorum of marriage. There can be no violence done by any external enemy that will do more to destroy our Country than this intrusion. The damage will be irreparable.

Going forward will this marks the end of what we once knew and held to be The Bahamas.

As fundamentally important as these comments said by Sir Franklyn are, it is sad to see that people still harbor the venom of hate and jealousy against a genuine Bahamian role model. hero.

Sir Franklyn has earned our respect. Besides that, what he is saying is fundamentally true. Let us encourage our citizens towards "the path to development involving concepts of increased productivity, hard work, stable families and greater savings".

Preach the lessons of hard work, and stop the shortcut mentality!

WOW... There were no male survivors who the Tribune could have interviewed?

Where are the true leaders who can get to the bottom of the social crisis? We do not need the simple-minded sympathizers or logicians who, at the end of the day, simply believe their job is to report the count of who got killed.

People of The Bahamas, you need better! But is it true that the people get the leaders that they deserve? In any event, we can do better!!!

Tribune Readers, as I told you before, it must get worst before it gets better.

Until we elect leaders who aren't afraid to get to the root of the problem and deal directly with it, we will continue to experience this trend of killings by firearms, or otherwise. Our Country is in great trouble.

Jesus said it best, "except you repent (turn around) you shall all likewise perish".

And no one would turn away from an action or thing unless they themselves become consciously aware that the thing in question is actually harmful and not good for themselves.

My people, you perish for lack of knowledge. But for the grace of God, I would have been no different. He led and took me on a life journey of knowledge. Thanks be to God.

Godson Andrew Johnson, AKA Nicodemus.

What amazes but truly disappoints me is the fervent and persistent effort of the government to turn out our citizens to be beggars, thieves, and wantons for handouts. Where is the expression "forward, upward, onward, and together" being enterprised in this charade of degradation?

you niggers of our society... stop selling your african brothers and sisters to a mentality of slavery!!!
Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.

NO Obie, more will need to be helped because our ruling and governing class have failed to ingrain into the sensibility of our people, hard work with persistency.

I watched this Country turn into squadrons of beggars from a once hospitable and thriving Bahamas.

With regards to the above article, I say, either the reporter is inarticulate and could not accurately comprehend the statements of the ACP, or, the ACP lacks insight and capability to have oversight of the subjects spoken on. Whatever may be the case, what is definitely clear is that the leaders and ruling class of our Country are totally lost as to the way out and forward of this crisis.

Nothing stated in the above article is comprehensible to an intelligent plan or individual who is leading an effective branch to deal with the topic of rape, domestic violence, or gender-based crime.

The fact of such ignorance leaves much for us, in The Bahamas, to worry about. Otherwise, those dignitaries who attended the function are comforted and happy that our Country is being overseen and ruled by such blind and incompetent officials.
