I agree that the government has done nothing much to curb the crime problem, but the churches should be ashamed as well. What are churches doing today to play a MAJOR role in helping to curb social ills in the country? More has to be done by everyone! Crime is not just a problem for the Government of The Bahamas. We ALL need to stop seeking to blame everyone else and start understanding ways we can personally play a role in helping our communities. "It takes a village" ... after all.
NO, but why the Tribune giving a voice to gang members now? Will they do anything to sell a story? I think it's in poor taste. Why are you trying to further stir the pot with these gangs? IMHO You should never give violence a platform to speak from!
... Some may beg to differ...<br/>((Better choose your words about partying in the USA carefully - one of many instances of barring due to misinterpreted tweets)).. u just can't make this stuff up! <br/> http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-1681…
Umm... teachers get free books? Don't know about that. I know many public school teachers and they constantly spend out of their OWN pockets to get resources for their students. Public schools generally have the 'bare bones' materials for students that have to be shared among many classes.<br/>
Hold on, forget about globalization... didn't those same nurses say how they were not being paid for months (even the measly salary there were entitled to).. and you surprised they left? You can't be serious!<br/> Government does this too much! So many long time civil servants owed back pay. Persons not getting pension on time. Wages not being regularized. I mean some folks wait for years to get the right salary. Y'all need to get this right... [And dey act like dis normal!]

Everyone has a right to their opinion. We should be able to conduct mature intellectual discourse without personal attacks.

This is very sad. Agreed, viable solutions need to be presented. So tired of rhetoric and political optics!
