Government schools have constant stabbings, gangs, violence, teacher shortage. Just like many other government schools. Nobody wants to be a teacher at these places to get killed. The children get a slap on the wrist when they assault someone, stab them, kill them, whatever and these things don't even make the news. This is evident from this morning's paper which does not even mention the incident on G.B. They "talking" about police in the schools. Really? Talking about it? Police need to be more than one police that the teenagers sneak up behind and stab or hit with rock on the head. One police can't control no government school. Need 5 to some of these schools, minimum.

She need to stop worrying about Abaco, that island is controlled from Port au Prince. She need to worry about Bahamians. 8-Mile Rock High School in G.B., stabbings, gangs, violence, teacher shortage.

In my opinion, Mr. Smith, or anyone holding similar views, must be perfectly happy with foreigners coming in and taking over this country. If they love those foreigners so much, why doesn't Mr. Smith and his ilk all move to whatever country they love so much and leave us Bahamians alone ?

Only a Referendum can amend the Constitution. That's the point. It is an agreement by us with them to govern a certain way. If they want to change that way, then they have to ask us.

Of course, I realize that this is all in theory because most people here and in the USA and most of Europe are too ignorant to even know what this is all about. Therefore the elites and the powerful and the rich just run right over them and they get left behind, left with table scraps, left with no options in life and a terrible life - while they busy themselves making babies who grow up to be the next generation of slaves.

Further to my reply to Tribanon, I would add that the main reason I state that Americans don't even know what a constitution is, is due to the high percentage of them who oppose the direct reading of the 2nd Amendment.

Those people believe that the passage means that "a militia" refers to the army. It does not. They also shriek at the idea that one day citizens would rise up and overthrow the government (like what happened when Washington and Hamilton did it). The very purpose the founders meant by that Amendment was precisely so that the citizens COULD remove a government should that government step too far out of line. The Chinese citizens and the North Korean citizens would have done that long time, but some moron like Nancy Pelosi (her equivalent) talked them into turning in their guns.

You are correct. Unfortunately, because civics is not taught in our high schools (who would teach it? LOL) - people don't even know what a constitution is. Even Americans don't know what a Constitution is. It is an agreement between a people and their government. We allow a certain group of people to be "in charge" of things "manage things" under certain conditions, certain stipulations, etc. However, it has gotten out of control and governments around the world have somehow come to believe that elections can be done by mail and that Dr. Fauci is the right hand of God.

You mussy trying to get into trouble like the people who put a foreigner as president of UB. The Pindling "Bahamianization" thing went way to far, and is still with us today. We just don't want to learn from foreigners to improve ourselves, we know everything already and don't need no help. Garbage on the road? What garbage? I don't see any - LOL.

“I will reiterate again that if you see something, say something with respect to persons in your community who are brandishing firearms who you know have firearms to report them to police so that we could take action,” Supt Peters said.

Why do the police keep saying this when they KNOW that people are not allowed to do this. You can't just tell a police officer this on the street, or write a note and stick it on the station door when nobody is looking. You have to file a formal complaint/report and sign it.

Otherwise the police do nothing and say "We couldn't take action because no report was filed."

Yall keep looking in the past for "reparations" while your future is being destroyed. Keep it up. See how that works.

Exactly - and that's because there is no accounting for the money we pay in taxes. I don't know why we even have a Ministry of Finance. We should just put the money into the Treasury and the PM can write cheques - because that is exactly what happens now.
