Good luck. Things will never be the same like the good old days. It never returns. But,take 50 years for this trial,because that is what it will take to get rid of the vermin and parasites from the society.

“In hell…you mean Trinidad…………..we just hit 500 murders so far in 2008, without any massacres, in 2001 it was less than 150 murders for the whole year!!!!!!
If you think Guyana bad, you can pop in here, and I’ll take you on a guided tour, with police escort of course, in Laventille!!!!!
The increase in crime in the Third Word since the seventies, is just a breakdown in morals, guided by Hollywood and all other contributors to the get rich quick mentality and vice.
The authorities in GT are trying their best with limited resources, we all have to assist through remittances, empowering and educating our relatives and friends, etc.

at one time the authorities was blaming everything on “fine-man”, who is it now MR PPP?. I will not be surprise if they start blame Burhnam……Shame on you. I was said years ago, if one cannot run their own house – how can you run a country.
Guyana need a leader with common sense, good morality and principles (left the race issue at the door)

I agree with your “father-figure” observation, but the notion that Aunt Mabel and Uncle Joe were there for you represented that “father-figure” to which you made reference. When are you returning to beautiful Guyana?

You got into lil trouble, not BIG trouble, otherwise you won’t have been where you are today. And there was AT LEAST ONE person who was kind to you and was a role model to you, not necessarily Pops. Check back and you’ll see what I mean. What the UG sociologists should have said, is the absence of a father-FIGURE is the big problem.

Guyana is getting worst by the second, everyone is seeing it but the PPP so-call government.

A hell of a country?? That’s putting it mildly Frank Fyffe, ‘Guyana’s home but it’s not yours no more’. Too many civic leaders are accepting mediocre and sometimes out right failure, as the new standard in exchange for retaining power to the detriment of morality and principles.

Wah ah joke fuh school boy ah death fuh frog. But we were all school boys, weren’t we? Remember every body in the village was related to you (99% not by blood) and if you managed to get by Auntie Mabel, Uncle Joe was there to buss yuh ass if you did anything wrong, and when you got home another buss ass was waiting for you. That sense of “it takes a village to raise a child” is again needed. Our UG sociologist will tell you that the current spate of children getting into trouble is as a result of fathers not being there. Mine was there but I still got into trouble. Wah a play fuh school boy ah death fuh frog. ISNM

what about the business people who sell squibs (and the drug lords). Don’t you think the rod should be applied to them too, and even more HEAVILY?

The Onderneeming school for boys and girls has been there functioning all the time. One of their problems is recividism.

“But one reason why we as a people (from top to bottom) have become so reactive rather than pro-active is simply because we have grown extremely insensitive to the concerns of each other. We give not a toss about what befalls another, until we ourselves become victims. Too often whenever something dreadful happens, we experience a deafening silence from sections of society that have not been affected.”
This is nothing but the truth! Frank, you couldn’t have said it better. WHEN WILL WE LEARN? SOMEDAY OR MAYBE, NEVER!

The book of Proverbs, by history’s wisest refers to sparing the rod & spoiling the child. He who loveth, correcteth. Anyone who differs condones the creation of the monsters they grow up to be. Our current madministration is STILL trying to get a plan of governance in place even after 14 yrs. To many of us they are just a mediocre oversized buns & mauby shop management crew.

I knew that we lived in a hell of a country from since,guess when? The seventies.It is even worse toay. Guyana is swarming with organized crime, and opportunist criminals. Where, anyone who likes to be a criminal at any opportunity takes the risks of doing exactly that.

I wonder where those kids purchased those devices from? It is just like drugs in the community, we pick a few drug use (scapegoats) up and punish them while the real crimals are just chillin. What the police need to do is to investigate where the kids purchase the squibs from and those individuals should be penalized also.
