Theory of the Living!

...dissPARAGE d proposition by ARMA-G that 'hostility' is d ROOT CAUSE of CRIME in BZE, i would say that it is an EFFECT and NOT a CAUSE...Perhaps more in line with the thread of his postulation is that a LACK OF GUIDANCE 4 society's youths would more b a CAUSE (in certain instances)!!!

AS comPLEX as it could get, i c CRIME not as an ILL of society BUT more as a SYMPTOM of SOCIETY'S ill...I c d LACK of EDUCATION as an ILL of SOCIETY... Ditto d lack of access 2 adequate HEALTH CARE, and FOOD, and HOUSING, as is of course d pervasive JOBLESSNESS and POVERTY across d length and breadth of d JEWEL!!!

The obliviousness 2 d conNECTION between CRIME and PUNISHMENT drives a lot of d VIOLENT CRIMES in bze 4 d POORer CLASS of PPls...In an equal way d LACK of conSEQUENCES of d criminalJUSTICE system in PROSECUTING those whom have transgressed MORALLY and LEGALLY d LAWS of d LAND have created an unFETTERED incentive 4 d wealthy & d powerful & d political conNECTED 2 perpetuate at WILL what our colleages in d GREAT WHITE NORTH characterize as WHITE COLLAR CRIME!!!

The kneeJERK in bze as ONE dissCUSSES crime is 2 automatically focus on d regular BLUE COLLAR crimes, but if one were 2 eXAMINE d eFFECTS of WHITE COLLAR CRIME on d QUALITY of LIFE in bze, i would venture that it would outstrip that of WHITE COLLAR CRIME!!!...At d last count 4 xmpl, it has been estimated that d PUP Criminals had STOLEN and spirited away +/-$300 MILLION of SSB Funds...The coLLUSION between SR mUSA and d DIRTIES LORD south of d THAMES 2 conVERT a LOAN made 2 UNIVERSAL form d bzeBANK in d SUM of Bz$33MIL to US$33MIL (Bz$66MIL) is beyond unconscionable...It would take d BOYs from George St, BAILAR & Majestic Alley working overtime perhaps 4 d better part of 1,000 YRS to equal this latter FEAT alone!!!

It would b a little difficult 2 meaningfully dissCUSS CRIME in bze without mentioning d main PERPs...Sorry if d PROSPECTS of d mention of LUKE & d ZABs & eRALPHUSminus gets Ur goat ARMA-G!!!

Dehn no gah no societal claim fi force pan individuals.

As an individual yu muss work out your own salvation.

Parents often are di 1st example but others inna di community are also powerful examples.

Den it is up to YOU whether you follow, rebel, improve, or destroy dis example...

I see nuff pickni inna mi area whe no gah nobody but sprang-head, drug-dealer and hustler as role model.

Dat is one option in life, and me nah di scorn dat, but just know that it is always your choice to live in such a way; poverty da nah wah excuse, lack of FORMAL education dah nah wah excuse,et cetera, et cetera. Still you make a choice to live that way. Di unfortunate truth we den arrive at is: IGNORANCE da di aetiology of systemic violence.

And when yuh look pan di businessman dem wid dem big ride, avarice, blindness, cold-heartedness--so dat dey ignore di communities in which dey live, fi go build mansion up di road, wit security and one big fence wid barb-wire and security camera. den you see di problem manifesting at two end of di spectrum.
and dah no because ah "lawlessness".

Dat is a useless category. noh shift blame pan an abstract noun.

and no give me no genetic er historical determinism. Da true dat di examples of di past affect di present--colonialism still pervades in postal form. but dat noh means pipple kian evolve (some may read progress).

A few upstanding martyrs, some righteous citizens, confessed sinners striving fer dat impossible horizon is all one needs.

EThics is an impossible but necessary demand an di impossible will take a little time.

di killas nowadays are young, 13, 14, 16 years old. Because dey no gwen be prosecuted harshly, da di older ones dem, di aforementioned, di role models, whe di train dem from young to do the executions.
Dis da nah lawlessness.
Dis da whe yuh call apprenticeship.
This is not disorder, chaos. This is systematic, predictable, but also unfortunate.

unfortunate because little, if any, positive change comes of it. Little or no beauty, little, or no creativity, little or no positive development. Destruction easy; positive development hard.

So what fi do if yuh care about di country?
Live yuh life as example. SElf-Criticise. Question every action yuh mek and aks yuhsel if dis wah bring yuh closer to Jah. Den di rest ah di country must simply pray dat your God is not di TV, a party, a learned and foreign desire or some other idolatry.

politician for it, or include or compare it to some politician?

My take on this matter is, that there is definitely a lot of hostility in young people today; the question is where does this hostility arise from? Why are the youths so hostile, ready to snap, ready to fight, ready to kill?

One pixel out of the whole picture, i believe this is the source, is that most these kids come from family who thought them nothing of being a responsible, sensible human being, too many of these kids have been left to fend for themselves, figure life out for themselves, and have no clue about life, the value of life or anything to that extent, that they are easily influenced. Look around your neigborhood, start there, look at the kids that you see wondering the streets, 8, 9, 10 year olds, just wondering around with no parental guidance, no discipline, why because their parents are children themselves, who dont know any better or simply dont care, "my parents did it to me, so i am going to do it to my kids" is the mentality.

In other words, you have a ton of lost souls wondering around, and only a fraction of those will get lucky and figure out that hey, you have to work hard and change yourself not to end up a loser in life.

When you have a child growing, up that has no parental guidance, they grown up feeling neglected, that their parents dont give a shit about them, so, if their parents dont give a shit about them, why should they give a shit about thier parents or anyone else as a matter of fact.

Then you have these same kids, growing up watching the Haves, living large and they want that too, so being that their parents never gave them shit, never thought them to work hard for shit, and so many influence from abroad and a justice system that everyone takes for a joke, you have a human being with a mentality that, "hey i want to live large and bling too, and i no know that i have to work hard for what i want, and why should i when i can simply rob/murder this or that fool, sell drugs etc..."

The root cause of all the crime in our society i believe stems from bad parenting or lack of it completely. Parents these days, are not even adults, they are just young kids who had kids and now dont give a shit and want their kids to be someone elses problem, so when the kids are roaming the streets they are happy, cause at least the kid is not in their hair, and what do these kids learn roaming the streets...nothing constructive that i can tell you for sure.

To me that is just a pixel from the whole picture, books upon books have been written about this subject matter. We as human beings are irresponsible to say the least, we live by thinking everything is gonna work itself out for the best, it does not. We lack the ability to make, sensible, logical, planned out, well thought out decisions about every aspect of our lives.

Nothing is going to be perfect, people seem to think they live in a bubble as separate atoms from the whole, and that just isnt the case, every single person is a part of the whole, the sooner we realize that as individuals the better.

STARTING AT HOME, IS THE KEY TO SOLVING SOME OF THIS MESS.

First your mind is enslaved. Then your will to fight back is taken away. Then they take your rights and liberty. Then they take your country's sovereignty. Then they take control of all your natural resources. Then they get rid of 80% of you....more

...note it must b remembered that BZE was FOUNDED on d BASIS of PIRACY and thus d CRIMINAL URGE may be more than THAT!...It may indeed b ORGANIC!!...HOW else 2 xpln d penchant of SAID mUSA!?!?
