Actually Darwin’s theory does not say that we evolved from apes but that we shared a common ancestor.

Exactly…I would rather it take police extra time to get to a call like this because they have to put their hat on then get to the report quickly.. I can only pray that the top bosses are going to sort that out.

Spot on sir, you should join the police, and what is it that they’re most likely after that I cant/would be stupid to mention to the police? So many people are selling weed right now its cutting down profits, so they rob it. Another reason it should be decriminalized and regulated by the government.

@ CC says, I must say I am amazed at how many people believe that. Even the bible says Caine was banished from Eden but he went on and met a woman from another tribe. Adam and Eve is simply a family story, in fact when was the last time anyone went to the middle east and found someone named Adam or Eve?

Sorry buddy we’re well ahead of that, we’re planning on what to do AFTER the plp wins the next election before they do. Run along now and blindly jump into the hole they’re digging around you. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you can’t fix stupid. You have to be stupid or completely ignorant to not see what the plp is doing.

None of the home invasions are ‘random’ events…no true burglar wants multiple occupants home at the time they enter…takes serious motive and energy to raid a house with people home.

Also, it’s hard to show, but most of the muggings are not real weapons, but of course no one wants to prove that. The leaders that control these weapons will not risk loosing them in a robbery netting $50…

Just saying

Oh yes because the only other logical explanaition is darwins theory…open your mind and stop believing what your told and make informed decisions on what’s really right in front of you. I’ve seen things with my own eyes that would blow a scientists mind. I really try not to bring my beliefs into these things because everyone has the right to believe what they choose, I choose to believe in what I can explain. Don’t think just because I don’t believe in something that I was raised from birth in, that there’s only one other possability (evolution), that in itself is closeminded my friend. You also put up no argument to the scientific fact I pointed out. If having some dude watching over you in the sky puts you to sleep at night then so be it.

Sadly like many issues in Bermuda the
conservation has become Black & White , OBA& PLP
More importantly the people / voters of the country
need to ask what it is they support and accept.
Political party’s who run drug dealers and gun men
can’t really be “tough on crime”. People who vote for them
are no better. What message again I ask are
we sending to the next generation of gun men and
Heroin dealers? It’s ok today and tomorrow
you can become “honorable leaders”….please!

That is really bad. How can they go around without their hats and expect to gain the confidence of the public. Hopefully the brass within the police ensures all of them wear their hats in the future. If they had to arrest the shooter without their hat then it would be unlawful.

I see her/his point but really how many white men have used or been to the Courts for gun use. It’s mostly black men/boys. Hypocrite shut up and think about it.

You’re dumb. Sunday School has nothing to do with it. What are all the hypocrites doing on Sunday to help out the community? Absolutely nothing. Sitting in church talking about it instead of helping the situation. Most of these boys probably did go to church when they were young and look at them now. I’m not religious and I don’t go to church and I’m not out hurting people. I don’t need a bible to tell me so. Ha.

@SAD I am a PLP supporter father of young black men
who believes that we must expect better of our young men
and set clear consequences for actions. I forgive but
never forget certain behaviors should and must have
consequences which should be clearly know by all
concerned. Parliament is no place for gunmen or drug dealers.
a consequence of very very bad life choices. By the way I also live in the area
and could never vote for anyone who has used
a gun to hurt or intimidate anyone!

This is not a matter of forgiveness or even saying
That prison time means you can’t amount to anything!
What I am saying is that the society must set clear standards of what
Is expected. You cannot become a policeman
custom officer or prison officer with a criminal conviction
but you can become an “”Honourable” Legistator! Go figure! What example
are we sending to young wanna be gun man!

No one said anything about black men until you did.

Are you insinuating that only black men committ ctimes in BDA?

Don’t vote for the OBA. Vote for the Party that got is into this mess and tell yourself that you are doing the right thing.

PS: You PLPers just can’t it into your heads that just because someone criticizes the PLP does not make them an OBA supporter like you have been brainwashed to think.

Lets just take a fwe minutes out and think about all these gun shots and killings, this hasn’t just started, this has been going on for 10 yrs or more now and we aren’t any further with a solution, But I have one, God said that the man is the head of the household, so all you so called heads take your roles and habdle this maddness with our young man, all you see and hear from our the women running to the courts saying ” I love you so & so and I’m behind you 110 percent, even when she knows he has done wrong, step back and let his chips fall as they may, and send that message to them that we as mother’s will no longer run to the courts and take any more time of from work to be there,cause dad ain’t there, so why should she.YES my brothers from other mothers stand up and take these young black men to task, be in their faces, on their backs and let them know that we the OLDER MEN are taking our COUNTRY BACK, This could be my son out there doing a pack of stupid and I’ll stand by my head of the household when he says to me leave him out there and let him feel the rath that is coming is way,when they get lock up, don’t race to get there to visit them, let them stew in their own stuff in the prisons.Maybe they’ll see my momma ain’t coming to see me and my daddy either,than that soft spoken voice kicks in, why should they come ,all you’ve done is brought heartship to them.Satan has won and is finished with that young man, cause he got him to do is dirty work anymore, and now will move on to another young black male to see if he can get him to work for him and do the devils work, WAKE UP YOUNG MAN to see what is really going on.

Please take your signifigant other over to darrels island and try to populate that for me, I’m curious to see what the later generations look like lol.

Norway is 70% atheist & has one of the lowest murder rates in the world. Some of the most heinous killers in the world believed in God. Societies evils don’t come from a lack of church they come from a lack of nurturing & guidance. If someone does not want to nurture & guide children then they should stop having them because this is one of the biggest causes of the problem. It doesn’t take a man to make a baby even a dog can do that. It takes a man to take care of & support a baby & our young men & women need to learn this. On the young ladies side they also need to learn that when they get pregnant it means they must give more than half their life to what they helped create & their partying & hanging out with friends days are over if they want to bring up a human being that can function properly in society.

Most of the shootings that have happened have nothing to with revenge. Most likely the shooters did not have anything against their victims & were just puppets carrying out orders without emotion. This is the result of drug wars & as with any war there are casualties. A cold heart taken over by evil cannot forgive especially when desensitized by hard drugs.

These evil souls did not start this war they just profit from it our law makers started this war & also profit from it. If these law makers are intelligent enough to realize the nature of the beast they created & feel no way about collecting pay through fines from it then they are just as evil as the killers. This has been going on for years in America & thousands have died because of this war on drugs till recently when law makers there have decided enough is enough & are changing the laws to ones that are slowly helping to create peace in society but they are still too republican to go all the way. When will our law makers realize their errors & take away the laws that criminalize those inflicted with diseases that evil ones profit off.

Agreed the shootings are tageted but the muggings at gun point are not, its only a matter of time before we are being shot for a blackberry smartphone. So your correct, the sky isn’t falling, but if our economy keeps dropping, it will, and it will rain hell.

@ ‘Just One” I’m with you on the “sky is falling” panic theory…..as much flack as you are going to take for the comment about the shootings not being random you are actually correct and as much as family and friends don’t want to hear it..9 times out of 10 there is a story behind it…Now don’t get me wrong I AM NOT CONDONING it in any way, shape, form or pattern, but it is what it is….No one has the right to take the life of another but unfortunately this is what we have become…..we are not immune to violence and it happens worldwide and has been happening since the beginning of time..the Bible speaks of violence, just as it speaks of fornicating and adultery…according to the Bible we shouldn’t do any of those things BUT yet we still do……Bermuda is no longer “another world” we are part of the REAL WWORLD and until we get our heads out of the sand and continue to live in denial we will always have issues…Ignoring it will not make it go away, making excuses will not make it go away…it’s something that has to be faced head on…….violence is just a small piece of the puzzle……We must wake up and look at the bigger picture and as “The road to hell” says “…..it’s not too late to fix it.

People only want revenge and that is why people hurt each other. They need to start reading the BIBLE and ask for forgiveness for there sin be for it is to late. GOD is watch and it hurt him so much.

Here is some thing for you all to think about.

Forgiveness

The hardest thing to do is to forgive someone that has sinned. That’s why there is hatred in this world today, but if you forgive them than that hatred will stop. Almost everyone wants to get revenge for what the other person did to them and when you do get revenge, then that person will also want revenge. You see, this will then become an endless circle of hate and sin. Think about this when someone has sin against you, then you have the power to stop that circle. GOD has given every one the power to forgive and this power is strong. GOD wants us to love and forgive each other, not hurt and sin against each other. He wants us to enjoy are life’s with each other and become friends. We hurt GOD every day because of sin. STOP hurting others and Forgive those that have sinned against you.

Remember, GOD will FORGIVE you for your sin so why not forgive those that have sinned against you. GOD loves you and he still loves those that have sinned.

Thank you GOD for this power. I love you GOD.
