Well said tourist! You are exactly right...more education, wisdom, and research is needed. Don't blame the sharks.<br/> Additionally, stop chumming the waters!
Yeah that's definitely an exaggeration.<br/> It all depends on the type of sharks we are dealing with.<br/> Nurse sharks are not aggressive at all and I swam with those sharks before.<br/><br/> Bull sharks are **extremely** aggressive because of their high testosterone levels. I suggest watching **Shark Week in July 2019** on Discovery channel. They always feature The Bahamas. There's a lot of good information to learn about sharks and I watch it every year.
Well no, they need to do something about these delinquent employers! <br/> But I'll wait to see if they actually **follow through** on what they say they will do.
When I was growing up, I remember a very old administrator who all the children were afraid of using corporal punishment, but only in the **palm of the hands**. <br/><br/>
I think sometimes administrators and some teachers want to use their cane **all about the body**, "going to town" on some of those students. To an extent I understand that some of these children are really rude because some of the parents are really rude, so it comes from the environment.<br/><br/>
As I grew up, I never heard of anyone being injured from having corporal punishment administered in the palm of their hands. So I don't have a problem with it under those circumstances. Of course, corporal punishment should be used **in combination** with many other discipline strategies. No one strategy on its own will probably be fully effective.<br/> But I do support still keeping corporal punishment in the schools, limited to the palm of the hands.
It's the government's fault that this foolishness has been allowed to go on without punishment for so long. (It's not like they can't see in their records that the money isn't being paid.) <br/><br/>
When employers take out NIB payments from their staff salaries and don't pay it to NIB, that's called **stealing**! But employers are allowed to get away with this sometimes for years without penalty. Why aren't these employers being held more accountable for stealing? <br/> Then when those poor unsuspecting staff try to apply for benefits for some reason or another, they have issues and finally find out that their NIB wasn't being paid. There needs to be more accountability.
Incompetence of appointees in various offices can damage the country as a whole.<br/> But it seems that the more things change around here, the more they remain the same. Sigh
Why is the Tribune showing the video of this shooting online on their site?<br/> I don't think that's appropriate for a so-called professional newspaper.
