i wont go because i dont want to get stabbed or robbed! fo' real! :D :D

You have a very low opinion of Bahamians do you not? Just asking. You seem to see crime and evil at every turn. Is there nothing, or no one, good here? Just asking! :rolleyes:

the type of bahamians that go to a gansta rap concert!
I wouldnt go if it was in the US also.

And no my opinion is not low of bahamians, just want to live a safer life now, not like un my past where ive been, well had everything bad happen to me that could, besides being killed, all from going out to clubs or what not.

Its worst than going to any nightclub in nassau that plays reggae and has a lot of ganstas attending, even waterloo on saturday night, i stay away now. I used to hang out with ganstas in NY (manhatten actually) when i was over there in my younger years and used to be into rap, but i grew up. I still like alot of rap music, but dont play the 'dirty' rap in my car for respect for others. Most artists make clean versions as well.

Ive seen enough stabbings in the local nightclubs and shootings, to know to stay away from anywhere drunk/gansta wannabe bahamians/americans attend! You wouldnt find me at the gazza strip also (arawak cay).

On a lighter note, who really cares, im not going :D :D i have to work.

"Rap" is an art form decendant of calypso. Rap in it's truest form is constructive, positive and intuitive. Thus 50 Cent is not a rapper. He's a something, but he's not a rapper.

he's a 'ganster rapper', another form of rap, from the original, and it is ganster rap that is the most popular rap today, and has been for over 10 years, even back in my rap days.

Bros/Sisters, what we are seeing is a government who I think dosent care as much as they should. For the past weeks this concert has been in the air and not have I seen Govt. leaders, not one taken an open stand for what they should be standing up against. Are they afraid they wont be liked or voted for next election, as the bible clearly states, All it takes for evil to prosper is for good ppl to do nothing. Stand strong .

i dont blame rory for his statement about getting robbed because it's true, i should know. i've been in countless fights at concerts but i don't think they should stop it from happening. people need to be held responsible for their actions and stop babying them by blaming gangster rap. but i see it like this...girls want a thug, and if you dont act like one then people think you're soft and no one wants that to happen (even me)

p.s. now that i think about it gangsters are in no way thugs...thugs stand on their own while gangsters are cowards that roam in packs, maybe that's why i show no respect towards them :D

I totally agree with you Mr. Moss. We as a people need to stand together concerning topic and issues that affects us a whole.
I must say that I have seen these artist(performers) on BET and it totally disgust me. I had a choice to listen or change the channel, and I think I made the right decision and changed the channel.

What choices are we giving our children, whether it be in our homes or in the Public. I agree with you Andris, our children do see these performers on TV, but doesn't that says alot about how we run our hoseholds!

I remember hearing lyrics by a.k.a. the elephant man, and it promoted gang violence, and something along the line if you mess with my crew you are going to visit cemetery, WHAT ELSE will we agree to?

We need to Promote love, and Peace to our kids, neighbors, friends and our all society. We can begin now.

"What choices are we giving our children, whether it be in our homes or in the Public. I agree with you Andris, our children do see these performers on TV, but doesn't that says alot about how we run our hoseholds!"

This is what this entire thread is about shavornes. The children are indeed a priority. Let me put the question to you. Do YOUR children have a choice or will they have to obey compulsion set by the ideals of others. I don't have children, but unlike some people today who've got children, I can see where this situation is headed. If the situation goes the way Mr. Moss proposes soon we will develop into an elitist society that promotes "maceration" much like the "ethnic cleansing" you hear about in the news in the Middle East of late.

TODAY, you have a choice on how to run your household. Will your children have that same freedom tomorrow?

TODAY, you can post your feelings on this situation. Will your children be black-listed and/or run out of Nassau for doing something the Christian Council considers blasphemous tomorrow?

Reconsider. This is one of the PREVALENT reasons as to why I have a problem with some of the people in The Bahamas. They tend to complain about things while they're happening and not see the consequences until afterward.

They say, "Prevention is better than cure." I'm not telling you how to run your household, but perhaps, JUST maybe, I'm onto something in saying that YOUR establishing and ensuring that YOUR child can make sound choices/decisions [as a child] does more than eradicate YOUR worry and concern. You'd be killing two birds with one stone.

Hitler is not to blame for his disciples. Reconsider.

Are really thinking about the children???

Let me begin by stating that the children are the Priority, at least where I am concern. I am not a mother but I hope to be in the not so near futher.

Let me put the question to you. Do YOUR children have a choice or will they have to obey compulsion set by the ideals of others.

Is this really a question? Do you follow rules of any sought? DO you live by a standard? Did you one day got up and decide that this is the way you want to live you life? Of course not !! You live by rules and standards that were passed on to you from your parents, church folkes or others. Did you have a choice? Are you living to the ideas and standard that were passed to you, We all do!!! But YOU made the choice to except them or not to.

Trying to promote love, peace to our children can never ever be classify as ideals of others, it should be the way WE all should live!!

[/B] But when you use the ideals of others is when things can go wrong. I watched on cable TV a documentary called “In the name of God”
The ideals that young men should sacrifice them selves and become human bombs for Islam make them martyrs and they go straight to haven. I watched as a woman put her baby son to sleep telling him how he will be a martyr some day. This woman loves her son and feels she is doing the best thing for him. Someone else’s ideals forced on this woman and it’s all she believes. This boy is going to kill a lot of people some day he has no choice it’s all he will ever know.

There has to be freedom of choice and things/ideas to choose from.

And therein lies the danger. Ignorance. Now, ignorance is only dangerous when you know you're being ignorant and still you persist, and then it gains another name, "stupidity."
I'll answer your questions and respond to your comments one by one.

1. Yes, that really was a question, a rhetorical one, but yet still a question.

2. Yes, I follow rules that I agree with.

3. Yes, I do have a standard and my standard is one that I have developed through experience and consideration.

4. Yes, in actuality that's exactly what happened. I got sick of imperfect people deciding what's in my best interest. I got sick of politicians who decide my future and the future of many others over cocktails at 7PM after they've had a decent day laughing at each other in The House Of Parliment. I grew excessantly weary of whatever I did not being good enough for my parents or my neighbours who had formed their own little world with me in it to manipulate as they saw fit. I grew tired of "fellow worshippers" claiming how "their" respective churches and "their" pastors can tell me how to live my life according to freedoms "they" set that differ VASTLY from that of "their" God. I got dead tired of people with no awareness, who seem to LIVE only to assume, with no discretion toward others yet so demanding of it from me.

So I got up, as Yeshua Bar Yoseph did and went out into the "wilderness."

5. No ma'am, I don't. And if you met any of my parents, they would tell you the same. My mother's a Wiccan. I do not live by such standards. My earthly father's a Seventh-Day Adventist. I do not live by such standards. "Church folk" have done nothing but caused my siblings grief, for it was they that broke up the family I was once a member of, and it is they that still snicker and sneer at my siblings' fate.

6. "Others." Ma'am, I am an individual. The world may laugh with me, but I cry alone. And as a individual, I, o3parietal, decides what to keep and throw away. At the end of the day, I am responsible for me and I answer only to The Almighty GOD.

7. Yes, I had a choice. I was born at such a time in history.

8. And since you like to lump, I shall lump the rest of your questions in this answer.

"Trying to promote love, peace to our children can never ever be classify as ideals of others, it should be the way WE all should live!!"

If I have a choice, why is it you persist in telling me what I should do but use the term "WE"[And in capitalized letters no less.] That tells me, that my personal freedoms are not so personal to you. As it seems, you consider both them and myself worthy only of generalization. Peace and Love are ideals of others, but I concur with such ideals. That is MY right. MY responsibility. That's how I shape my life. If you shape it for me, what life do I have?

And let me say that, some of your ancestors believed that women should stay silent when grown men are talking. Since you give assent to your life being shaped by your parents, church folk and others, perhaps you might agree. I thought not. It's always different once you're in the shoes isn't it?
Reconsider.

And yet another thing I'm sick of. I can't say "cocktails" (sliatkcoc) <<that backward.

My freedom of speech, obviated because of some stupid people's fear of words. No greater example than that right there.

Truth is parietal every freedom comes with restrictions.
Its because of stupid people that I have to block certain words from being shared in this site. That word however was censored incorrectly and that has been corrected. You can now say cocktails but not ****.

The last thing I fear are those words.
All I seek here is to create a clean environment for people to discuss issues concerning our country. This is not an "anything goes" website.



Carry on.

Tis' "your" site, so it'll be "your" truth and "your" ideal clean. And by the way, and this is important, I could've typed anything I wished and made it show up.

There are somethings stronger than a censor script, and if you treat everyone like general criminals, pretty soon....
