Just a question. What are our vehicular death rates compared to other countries per capita????

Go Fuck yourself PLP and Philip Davis

Yup! I definitely agree with you, as I have lived several years in Exuma and Abaco. Crime is definitely on the rise in Abaco big time, and it is because there are a lot of Nassauvians coming over to Abaco. At this point it is mostly over women or petty drugs, and small break-ins, but it is increasing in frequency. In terms of crime being posted the internet is a way of life, and it gets reported the same way everywhere else. While the violent crime hasn't escalated towards tourists, break-ins, and thefts most definitely have. Crime on a whole is out of control. The jetski guys raping tourist women is only one level less than murder in my books. I think it is great the US continues to put pressure on our government to address the crime problem, because it needs a more comprehensive plan than what is now in place.

All extremely accurate statements by the US. I personally take these precautions being a Bahamian. I have also been robbed several times over the last 2 years. We have a serious problem that will continue to get worse, unless we figure out a way to address it. Government really needs to think outside the box, and implore drastic measures to reduce crime.

Who are the drivers thou? Can anyone drive or do you still have to be a licensed taxi within their union?

Please can we introduce Uber to the Bahamas, and get rid of all the lazy, no-service providing, scam artist, taxi cabs? They ALL need to carry their ass. The only companies that provide decent services are the luxury SUV's with more sensible drivers, and their prices are still too high.

Fook the motherfooking PLP! Fook every last Godforsaken motherfooking PLP! Let them all burn in hell! They have destroyed the good name of the Bahamas for their corruption and greed! God will burn them all in hell fire! Fook Birdie and BahamasForBahamians Motherfookers

Fook Tal and the motherfooking PLP trash

It boils down to a few issues. Firstly morals and values. The ones doing the shooting have zero. That falls on parenting, education, economy. The government (both sides) need to significantly upgrade our educational standards. There also need to be opportunities for the lower class to make an honest living. There will always be a lower class, and the government needs to battle to keep this to a small % of the overall population. When the lower class is reaching 50% or higher, you have many living on the poverty line, and when people don't feel a sense of worth or ability to get ahead in life, they tend to rebel against society and join a life in crime. These are basics of any society, and unless we start at the foundation, with improving education, parenting, and the economy things will continue to degrade.
