[EmpireKing]

lol.......wat if we had sum kinda vigilante kinda person....jus goin round an "manners-ing" all those criminals... guess those things only happens on tv.

but goin back to the beginning...All we really need is a leader with the testicular fortitude to put things in place in this country

[rb]

u mean like batman ?

batman wouldnt work in this country at all , traffic woulda kill de man vibe. Imagine de man Batcave somewhere in Gran Couva somewhere and he hadda hit POS a morning. I sure it would be blatantly obvious to whoever he gonna stop that he coming cause talk woulda be like "Aye ah see Batman in traffic dey boy like he find out bout allyuh"

Not to mention they ain't got much in terms of stuff to swing on..

[Exar_Kun]

Man wouldn't even be able to use d shoulder as he movin since it jam with taxis.

Wen is nex general elections?

[TrinireturnofGamez]

  Soon after the budget , october/november we'll see elections .


We don't NEED the army to lock down the country or conduct any kind of operation . If the police did its job in the first place , half the crime wouldn't be a problem. But the police is too corrupt and incompetent .
   
   Remember the dentist fella who get shot in his own practise ?He was walking distance from the police station .

 My family's business in Arima is also close to a police station, the last time it was robbed the bandits took a sledge hammer and MASH IN TWO CONCRETE WALLS to reach the safe . It was in the middle of the night and you should have heard it from the station , but nobody came to investigate .

Funny thing is , our country has a higher   police to citizens ratio than most countries . The police too damn dotish , too busy running down Panday ,Inshan Ishmael and the CJ to do any real work .

  Nothing is going to change as long as the PNM is in power... Trevor Paul is Manning boy , he went and visit him when he got the job as CoP .

[EmpireKing]

I understand Manning , Panday and others are all arses but who do u think can run this country properly?

[TrinireturnofGamez]

Dookeran might be able to do a good job , Inshan Ishmael supports him and he has a much cleaner record than the rest.

He actually had a gun to his head during the coup . Panday was in grenada and nobody knows where Manning was.. leaves you to suspect if they knew something  , especially since neither did and inquiry into the events of the Coup.

He is also a recognized economist . Better than having a geologist for a prime minister (Manning) who thinks building tall buildings means development , while people have to sh!t on the floor in hospitals .

He might never get into power , but his party stands a better chance than any of the newer ones.


Best case scenario  : Before elections , the COP and UNC agree to contest only their strongest seats eg. UNC keeps UNC heartland , COP goes into marginals and PNM strongholds .

Seats are split up something like 12 COP  , 10 UNC and 14 PNM . UNC and COP form a power sharing agreement with Dooks as prime minister .  ( i can't remember how many seats there are)

If some sort of deal isn't brokered it will be a clean sweep for the PNM . With all the house padding in UNC strongholds and marginals , if the COP splits the opposition vote , the PNM will end up with a majority , even taking the UNC heartland  .
  Dooks might not even win his own seat of St. Augustine .

[Synchronomyst]

Because...power sharing agreements work in this country. Because...a party that involves Basdeo Panday where he's not in a leadership position whether de facto of de jure is even a possibility. I can't agree with that as a best case scenario because it's so purely hypothetical. The only thing I can agree with you on is the opinion on Mr Dookeran and Mr Ishmael...and well that the PNM is a joke.

Also, I don't think that state of the police force is (at least directly) related to who is in power currently. The police have always been ineffectual. Crime has just gotten smarter and our economy, weaker. I genuinely think that the only think that can help us (other than just cutting the god damned s**t out), especially with the potential wealth we have flowing, is a move towards socialism. However the IMF has us by the balls.

lol ...just this morning i saw the infamous Ferrari, a Humvee 2, and a porsche Carerra Turbo

THIS country have wealth... jus wish some went my way

[EmpireKing]

Wasted wealth.....why buy a ferrari to drive on the traffic congested roads of trinidad....or Why buy a H2 to drive on narrow roads that cud barely fit a normal car

[Redlum08]

Because as usual wealth needs to be flaunted regardless of how idiotic they look driving a European Sports car on a sh1tty trinidad road (thanks to the gov't) and an American Tank that drinks gasoline like it's running out of style.

[Cross]

Uh so um.....COP and UNC form a power sharing agreement....Now correct me if im wrong...Wasn't Dooks the leader of the UNC.....then he wasn't, then he left and finally we have the COP?

Basdeo Panday will not settle for anything else but complete control wether it be in the fore/background. Poor Kamala say she gave him back his rule...more gave up what wasn't hers.

PNM are crap....Manning has his head so far up his geological society membership card that he can't even see that things going from worse to worst. I heard the smelter got cancelled PLEASE say yes PLEASE???

As for the Police as i understand it it's like this.
Bad cops rule, if you're a good cop you get transferred, re-assigned or snubbed until you agree to stay quiet or join. Why you think the kick so hard against the lie detector test. (shakes head)

Sometimes i does get up in the morning read the papers and go WTF going on in this place. But like majority of other trinis i swallow it, turn my head, eagerly anticipate my paycheck when month end comes, complain about the deductions and the high prices of goods, and repeat the cycle....

Forget the Ferrari, you seen the Phantom that Bhagwansingh have? If that cost less than seven or eight million to bring here I'll be shocked.

Anyway I think we better resign ourselves to another 5 years of PNM. UNC and COP WILL split the opposition vote and the PNM will get their special majority out of it.
For all the talks you does hear from people protesting the government saying "no help, no vote" and all that bs you damn sure the X going right next to the balisier.

[Saxito Pau]

batboat and batcycle..... that  -should- be a bit effective...

then again he go need a whole justice league stationed in various strategic parts of the country just to cope...
