Vaneisa Baksh A Masterpiece On Cricket Sexism

MissPiece

pleas get your adjectives sorted !

This is quite a sad incident and condolences to her loved ones.

Apart from this incident, Trinbago ranks in the top 10 Internationally for Homicides per capita (2014) ...nothing to be proud of.

A few years ago whilst visiting a certain Ms Naipaul was abducted for ransom, never to be discovered and the trend continues.

Certain ethnicity of women are prone to rape which is so tragic.

On the other hand both men and women should take precautions to deter unnecessary attention except men are visual and more prone to sexual improprieties than women will ever be.

I really do not see the merits in the way women dress.

All of this said, no excuse for what happened to this young lady.

RIP

Thank you for that.

Yes I am out of touch and when I am there, I am mainly away from 'the reality'.

Has it got anything to do with the influx of Guyanans by any chance?

Chin , where is yuh Donkey Giggles : lemme fix this for you : 

Good expose on the tribulations to be a female cricket writer

Sadly that's the case in many countries around the world, and respect and old fashioned values though have been replaced with a new generation of people who are only looking out for themselves.

As for the government, maybe they are too inept to handle the situation, or maybe they're not worried about it in the first plac? When you look at the number of murders in most countries, it's the poorer people that are being killed and doing the killing anyway, so have they got any incentives to get involved if it's not affecting their own?

You're correct. The government is only superficially worried about crime.

Trinidad is the third richest country by GDP per capita in the Americas after the United States and Canada. It has superpower level "wealth". But wealth breeds exclusion and poverty, and money itself has no value unless a chunk of your society is poor. And the poor eventually get violent. And so you get superpower level violence. Trinidad's solution since about 2005 has been to shoot and jail everyone; a kind of slow genocide on a section of the uneducated, violent, poor underclass.

The government and the populace as a whole enjoy these vengeful blood frenzies. Wild West justice appeals to people incapable of understanding poverty, let alone sympathising with "uncivlized", "murderous criminals".

Almost every country went through a similar phase. In Victorian England, laws were being plucked out of the air and invented on the spot to justify hanging the poor. After these purges you typically get drops in social violence and then a slow evolution in law enforcement and justice (more jails, more lenient sentences and so on).

I know Chair "liked" but is this a slip of the the tongue ?  :-\
