So, we are allowing for a test that isn't so reliable. Interesting! Instead if trying to figure out how to handle the situation, this dumb Minister just simply moves from one point to the next. So, 14 days quarantine he finally got the memo just how stupid that was. So, now he moves to another half-assed idea. Why doesn't he consult medical.experts and tourism experts to see how this can be done safely? He is a textbook case of the statement, when you're dumb you're dangerous.

On this case, most people would assume that it eas.likely he would show up to the same address where the complaint was made. It would make sense to have a patrol car stationed there in the event he showed up. This is not rocket science.

Is it me or he is very incoherent? Imagine him giving orders, "I need 10 officers to go to East Street and conduct a review of all businesses in Old Fort Bay to catch criminals who areifting weights at the gym at our station".

This is why we can't solve crime. It's interesting that he said domestic violence had decreased during this whole Covid-19 lockdowns and curfews, when globally it went up. Mr. Campbell's information is consistent with what we know from the rest of the world. I'm not sure what numbers the Commissioner saw. Maybe he got it from the same source that gave him talking points for the media here.

There are two pookts for me. One, where is the Governor of the Central Bank, John Rolle, in this discussion. Shouldn't he weigh in with the advantages or disadvantages of dollarization.

In the second point, did Mr. Smith do any research to see the interest of foreign investors in Bahamian bonds. He states that Bahamian government bonds pay higher interest than US bonds. But, what anyone reading needs to understand is that the interest rate is higher because we are riskier. Further, people have noted that given our credit rating, our interest rate should be considerably higher. So, why would some foreign investor want to take a risk to buy a very risky Bahamian government bond that's paying an interest rate that is lower.than the risk you're taking. Some.people argue that the tatenshould be between 8 to 10%.

Mr. Smith is a smart man. It is quite sad that he presented such an idea that doesn't hold.water.

Seems like a lot of rambling. He complains about a bathroom, an office, democracy, voter apathy, it's like stream of consciousness.

If he was more coherent, we may have found something useful in what he said. What seems clear though is that he's not happy. Perhaps he is trying to push along an agenda to change some of the seats around the House of Parliament.

So, the long and short of this article is what we already know, we're screwed.

I don't understand some of the labeling. You have the label gay but that's attach to a guy, but a woman who is gay is a lesbian. Why the differentiation? Another thing, the labels keep going. Now, you have non-binary which apparently leads to the use of "they", "them", etc. At some point we will need an encyclopedia to keep track.

I won't debate nature vs. nurture. At some point, shiuod there be a psychological evaluation? If a bkack.man identifies himself as a white man, do we accept him or try to get him help. There is a concept of too far.

I think that there is a direct correlation between education and civilized ssocieties. If you look at out national average, you see we gave serious crime issues. If you look at the US, they have issues within their public education system and you see that manifested in crime stats. If you look at the Europeans who spent a lot on public education, they have much lower crime rates. So, like the commenter here said, you reap what you sow, that's truly correct. Improve education and you improve society.

If we solve the gun issue, we reduce the crime stats dramatically. It's difficult to catch smugglers but you can severely punish those in possession of guns.

But, as we see here all crimes are not committed with guns. So, we have to deal with issues within society. The church has to step up. The people I'm communities have to step up. The police usually only show up after something has already happened, which is too late. People will blame job losses, etc on violence. Job loss can lead to stress and stress can out you in a bad mood. But, violence isn't about stress. There are other issues here that translates into violence.

We've all seen the blond, blue eyed Christ. If her believe in Cristianity, we accept that Christ was a Jew. So, how does a Jewish guy two millenniums ago have blond hair and blue eyes.

The news we watch, particularly overseas, it's packaged to feed you. You're not given information and left to make an opinion. You're given an opinion.
