Simple ,,as long as women continue to have 3 to 5 children for 2 to 3 different dead beat dads and verbal and physically beat the sh@t out of them ,teaching violence as conflict resolution crime and will violence will increase from both the criminals and the police .

In the mid seventies when I was a teenager my mother would always say ,'take off your sunglasses indoors you look like a huley gulley or a hoodlum " I thought I was being cool ,now I think it is just tacky .I also think calling people who don,t share your opinion the "banks bitch " lacks class .Comparing your need to think your special to what Snowden did is pure ego driven hyperbole . Its been a long time since I took English but your first and second paragraph just runs on and "unfounded " is not the right word for what you are trying to convey .I have tried to enjoy your articles ,but they are just too childish , conflate fact with opinion and are almost at a teenagers level .

The PLP who have shops/contracts are trying to make sure they get paid first by the courts and trying to discredit Sarkis before he spills the beans on who got what to give up all that crown land btw 2002 and 2007 when he started .Ms M Roach ,the ex director of Town planning got the contract to be the liason btw the CCA and the Bahamas to make sure all was up to code ,you mean she didn,t ,,Lmao,,if it was not so serious

Moderator ,how come my comments go to a moderator and take days to post ,if at all

We have lowered the passing grade to 50% ,from 70% when i attend school and we can,t achieve that .

Lets call it what it is we went to Bahamization of teachers too fast ,,when they couldn,t pass abroad we made the college of the Bahamas ..When I went to school anything under 70% was a failure .I asked a student the other day and he said it is now 50%.My goodness with most test multiple choice you should be able to guess for at least a C ,.What is an F 40%..Just look on face book the majority of people under 50 can,t even spell ,we may tink ,dis ,.dat ,and dese is cute but in the really world it does not fly .Whats the use we are a violent falling state .We keep whipping the crap out of kids when every enlightened country knows discipline with violence produces violent adults ..Fifteen more years for me and like my Parents I am saving and investing to retire elsewhere .

We keep blaming the politicians ,and yes they have done damage ,but that is forty men .We as a people ,or a great many of us lack integrity .Our men are the worst , even in the authors writings I hear no mention of male influences .Lately there have been old pictures of Nassau/Bay street on facebook .Look at it now ,dirty ,filthy with people w/ no manners full of arrogance just b/c they are Bahamian ..Go to the Caymans ,Bermuda ,or even Turks,nice clean places .We think we are special ,our good luck is proximity to a large tourist market and Cuba being closed ,but the politicians and religious leaders have filled our heads w/ us somehow being "more" blessed and special w/ out having to be responsible , As a nation we have a gigantic "theifing " problem ,,it is really is our national sport ,from workers theifen on the job to our politicians robbing the treasury .Our politicians came from us not from mars ,,They are we

This is all his side of the story ,and 54 hours a week is not double shifts ,I bet the manager had been calling the front desk/ bellman since about 2 in the morning ,,If he has a case take it to the labour board ,,Simple

They are trying to smear Sarkis ,,he has so much dirt on them ,,who wanted what to approve the original deal and which ones had their hands out sucking up the money during the building

They are trying to cover their a@@ ,,When this mess goes south and Sarkis starts to tell who had their hands out btw 2002 and 2007 to do this deal in the beginning
