St. Maarten Private Eye

You may be relieved to know Lala, that I am perfectly straight and no threat at all to you, your husband (assuming you are female that is) or your children. Unfortunately I must confess to being an Athiest and Heathen, so please feel free to blame me the next time a hurricane hits the island.
I'm planning a new post soon about two wonderful books I have read recently, one called The God Delusion and another called God is not Great, How Religion poisons everything, I recommend them both highly. They are both best sellers, but for some reason I have not yet seen either on sale here in SXM, I plan to donate my copies to the USM Library though so if you have trouble getting hold of them you could try there.
Being an athiest I don't believe in your god and while I try to respect people's right to have their beliefs, I do not feel I have to remain silent and accept ignorance and nonsense founded in them. I give your opinions, if you inject and formulate them around religion, the same respect I would give someone who believes the world is flat or that the sun revolves around the earth. Those people, to me, live in Lala land.
Stay tuned and keep an eye out for my book reviews and post about God and Religion, I would be very happy to have an intelligent discussion and debate about them both if you feel up to it.

I'm quite surprised that someone who was educated enough to put an open debate on the sex scandal situation in SXM will be so narrow minded. I have to say that your lack in education within my belief will never push you to speculate that you are the reasons hurricans are in this world. Secondly, I am not interested in your debate. For your information, I am not married and I don't have any children and it never crossed my mind that you will ever be a threat. Just by reading your comment, I never considered you to be at my level. I do agree that it is your freedom to believe what you want, however, a coutry without moral background is lost. What you may call poisons, I call blessings and I will stick to my convictions .There is no gain by having brothels in a society. A family is the center of the economy and I believe that it is the responsibility of the government to protect families in the country. Awaiting your response, I wish you wisdom and may the Lord bless you.

Lala971 for LIfe

I see moral as: "principles of right and wrong in behavior, especially for teaching right behavior". I do not see the word "religion" coming in. So that could mean (...) that there is another moral then a religious moral. Yes, a country needs a moral background, but this doesn't come only with religion. I am not a believer myself - far from that - but that doesn't mean I do not have any values.
I am not pro-brothel either, but just because it is disrespectful to the women who are exploited, not because some guy in church told me that.
Having said this, I look forward to Hady's book reviews.

I agree that you don't have to be a believer to have morals, I 've never stated that you need be a believer or go to church to know right from wrong. I only stated the impact of the church in the society because someone asked where are the churches. Thanks for your point of view

Another day, another dollar... Another Horror Story.

Picture this Sad story.
Government give out to the same industry some 1071 permits. Over 2007 Mr. Governor? Do we have here such a booming industry?

My theory if you can't find a man in the brothel, find him in jail.

Shame on you, shame on us.

You are so right..
