St. Maarten Private Eye

You tellin me that Tall boy was in a "gang"? come on.... you mean a Domino kinda gang? FYI am very grass roots as rooty as they can come and I still do not remember gangs. What you are referring to is more like a group of boys who hung out together for fun and liming. As you said there was no tv so the boys would go look up their gang of boys to go look for a good limin spot. This is a far cry from what is reffered today as GANGS with gang members, block control, gang signs and gang tattooes and members pledging for life with their gangsta bitches. gang members touting pittbulls and graffitti marking their turf.
Has anyone seen Cole Bay recently? looks like the heart of gang infested Philadelphia or should i say Kiilladelphia. Anyways, you tried to make your case about gangs having always been on SXM but I think we can both agree that Tallboy and those boys were more the kind of limin frat boys compared to these
hooligans with no education, no morals, no respect, no respect for the human race,no respect for authority, obviosly no mother in the correct sense of the word. What worries me is that sxm is a breeding ground for women just having children without thinking of the consequenses of having responsibilty, how else to explain the 20 plus toddlers at the ICAN foundation? How else to explain teenagers getting pregant (not once- oh no twice as if they did not learn the first time) wearing a school uniform and going to regular school? How else to explain the macho gangsta's usage of the term "I BREED she" as if females are dogs. They have no sense of proper social upbringing and we society keeps saying it has to do with poverty. It has nothing to do with poverty and all to do with parents not teaching their children proper social behavior and allowing them to roam the streets at night hanging out at Greenhouse every Tuesday night during school week. And if I can also add this little tidbit in.... it has to do with the tourism hospitality sector and women working night shifts in Casino's and Hotels Front Desk among other night shifts. I have known women working in the Casino at night that cannot afford to pay someone to watch their children, so they leave the children with an older sibling. Many times older is still a child in elementary school.
I do agree about the MTV and BET as well but it goes deeper than that as parents who are in tune with their children can moniter what they watch and how much they watch.
