Satan is also God fearing. Especially after he almost drowned in Noah's flood. It was then he knew the true wrath of God.

When a young child sits in front of a video game for hours on end and days in a row and plays a game that allows him to eliminate anyone and anything he doesn't like. It encourages him to disrespect police and authority and the more people he kills, the more points he accumulates. The bloodier he makes the game causes him to earn additional points but most unfortunately his actions are channeled to his brain where they will eventually determine the child's personality: He will despise authority, seek to eliminate anything or anyone he dislikes and if you cross his path at the wrong time or too often, he will kill you.

When a young boy goes to church regularly, he learns that God is the creator of all souls, and every life is sacred and regardless of the situation you should not commit murder, regardless of the circumstance. "Vengence is mine", sayest the Lord.

When a young boy goes to the park and plays basketball or games with other children, he learns to interact on a human level. He learns how to take his losses and that he will not win every game. This encourages him to play harder, to nurse his wounds and to respect his opponent, rather than eliminate him, because he will eventually face him again.

When a child has become an adult who disrespects the law, despises authority and takes someone else's life, the law must deal with him accordingly. "murderers and thieves have come to kill and destroy. They must be taken out of society>" For if they remain they will continue to kill and destroy and they will teach others to kill and to destroy, amen.

Shane Gibson pandered to the unions by increasing minimum wage by 40%. Did this government throw out any lifeline to the hundreds of Bahamian businesses that are suffering and closing down like the plague? Come visit Freeport/Grand Bahama or visit some of the Southern islands if you think Nassau is in bad shape. When a new worker enters the job market and he is out there pounding the pavement day after day, looking for a job, he would prefer to find something that can at least sustain him until he finds something better, than to go two, three years and not find anything. Despite the recession, the cost of living in the Bahamas has gone up 20-30 percent. Some food stores and other businesses adjusted their prices for the anticipation of the minimum wage increase when they adjusted for VAT in December-January so they had several months windfall. Why is gas at the pumps and electricity still almost at an all time high in the Bahamas when these commodities have dropped 40-50% around the world?

The clothes done wash bey...even the church dress.

For those who say no one can live of $210 a week then they need to lobby the government to bring down the cost of living, improve learning conditions and make the business environment less hostile including the curbing of crime. They follow America where they are destroying low cost housing then locking persons up for being homeless. Four and five working immigrants can get together and rent a two bedroom apartment that may no longer be affordable by a single mother or even a married couple.

Shane Gibson knows the government made an obvious mistake by raising the minimum wage by 40% (plus an additional increase in National Insurance) but rather than admit willingness to work with employers he continues in his arrogant ways and still expect that employers will be able to absorb this shock in an already severely depressed market. Remember that minimum wage is for entry level workers who are usually unskilled and in most cases undereducated. A minimum of $180.00 would be more sustainable and social assistance offered to those workers who find themselves not able to rise above the minimum wage. Gas prices and the cost of electricity have dropped 40 - 50 % around the world and ours are yet to drop by more than 10%.

Fifteen persons detained, was anyone charged? Anyone? The bible teachers us that thieves and murderers " come to kill and to destroy. They must be taken out of society. Not only do they breed more murderers and thieves, but they pass their trade on to others in the community. Gang members/leaders frequently admit that they teach many young men how to become hit men or otherwise lead them astray and more often to an early death.

Fred Mitchell anticipates political fallout from Bah Mar and so he is jockeying for leadership position in he party still. He done talking over the head of he prime minister and leader of he party and now he picking fight with who most feel is more powerful persons in the FNM. But when he say that Long Island suffered under the representation of Loretta Butler-Turner (because of her attitude), he admitting that the island was victimized for being FNM. Mitchell will learn that the mindset of Longislanders are different from Fox Hill.

Speaking of unemployment one of the most bothersome and disgusting things to witness is when people go into a food store shop for hundreds of dollars in grocery and give the packing boy pennies and drive off with a straight face. Every one knows the packing boys don't get paid. They work strictly for tips. This lady was in the food store out west. Obviously she was from some gated community. She had at least $300.00 worth of groceries by the amount of bags she had. When the little packing girl put all the bags in her car she turned round and gave her twenty seven cents! How pathetic! Are they just trying to intimidate our young working people?

Call it equal rights. Women getting their share of crime, violence and mayhem.
