So changing from 16 to 18 to protect minors does not protect minors just makes more minors. Need to amend the penalty for the breaking of the law , and shut down loopholes. Need to make it illegal for minor under the age of 18 to enter a club or dance. If they enter, charge the club owner. What happens when an assumed 18 yr old gets into a ompromising situation in a club ? Who is to blame? Is the individual assuming the age of 18 or is it the club owner whom shohld not let people under a ertain age in the club? Just saying that other measures need to be strenghtened or added.

Just like the offering bag.

What about bahamians vs anyone else? Bahamians cannot travel to the states unless vaccinated, americans can.Do Americans have the same privilege as Bahamians in this matter? If so, I might as well change my citizenship. I hope it is not the case because I get penalized in America for being a foreigner, I cant get penalized for being a bahamian in my own country. There is to some privilege here.

John, this is reasonable. They are so many facts that lead to a persons actions , and all have to be considered with emotions out.

Rape is wrong, but whom is to decide if she wasnt taking advantage of the 40 year old? She had sex several times, she went to his house passing several adults along the way. She may have been manipulating him for every dollar he had in the world..

Ok, hold on for a sec, what if the 14 year old manipulated the 40 year old , despite the age difference. Wr are assuming the 14 yr old is ignorant. Now, don't get me wrong, It is wrong what happened, but , what if the 14 yr old went out seeking a sugar daddy intentionally ?

Agreed, the slave card and race card are always pulled up.

Then you will find that half the country will have to go to jail.You will not have a work force. How many jitney drivers will be left? How many incidences are happening in the bathrooms and on school grounds? How many on church grounds and at junkanoo? How many are engaged in the apparently innucuous cunnilingus and fellatio and think nothing of a " quicky" at lunch for a social media video? We need to get to the children and teach them about these thingato also prevent situations. The music on the different stations certainly doesn't help. Young girls should not expose themselves to attract attention. Why do young girls feel the need to look sexy and young boys don't? Is it feminine to look sexy and not cool for boy? Do you see boys walking around with their chest showing? Do you see boys walking around with their their pants stuck to their private parts? They don't , so why is is accepted for girls and women? I am not blaming anyone just pointing out a double standard in our society. Maybe.be can start.from here.i agree that our society and the society at large are sexually charged , but for both sexes, not one sex.

Utter nonsense from a novice politician trying to get brownie points . Dude, try again. Thete is no correlation between the increase in bread and the need to remove VAT from the cost.

Yeah, because that is the solution. Gas increase, food increase, rent increase, but wait....we can have junkanoo in July.
