Set of wannabe copycats too lazy to make an honest living.
Everyone phone BVITB and demand her resign. She’s unfit for that department and should be work at the Department of Agriculture Agriculture in the Pigs department.
No such provision exists for firearm owners who are denied exemptions.
In the BVI?
BVI is its own destroyer. Throwing pearls at pigs is no way to honor blessings. The Bible speaks against this in Ephesians.
@ Crazy:
As a parent, I have come to realize that I cannot teach my children values and principles that I don’t believe in or practice. Children learn what they live. We are our children first teacher and when we fail at that the country suffers. Thus we have people like you and others trying to defend wrong. Always looking for excuses. A WRONG CAN NEVER BE JUSTIFIED.
Fathers absent from their children lived is of their own choosing. Committing crimes was their choice not others. From young we were taught right from wrong. Many of us just choose to ignore when it best suits us. We do things sometimes without thinking about the consequences. Sad part when children are involve they to suffer the consequences.
