This will cause another delay in releasing to the public the decision on BTC

In all honesty you really feel that Perry making progress in the so called buy back for BTC. All he doing is shuffling with that and everything else. Watch him good its no coincidence that he has those moves down to a science. His style of leadership follows.

Lot of violence in this country. Read news below what happen in my country. No crime.

and. lest we forget, they poison pet food for export.
they also poison baby powder milk and kill babies with melamine, and sell fake antibiotics that kill babies.

Meanwhile, my ostrich has laid a mighty big egg unfortunately it has no value as a precious metal. Ostrich egg's are yummy though, but I have to wait so long before it lays another. Also if you eat too many ostrich eggs, especially mine, you might turn into one yourself. People think my Ostrich is a Emu but time and time again I have to reiterate that my Ostrich is a ratite relative of the Emu and is much larger than my Ostrich. Anyway, time to take my ostrich out to ride across the Serengeti like a Stallion in the shadows.

Judgment will come to those who are constantly in this forum snickering while the country is in crises. Some are praying to see the Bahamas fall, or at least Bahamians. Not really praying because they don't worship or believe in God but you get the drift.

When you throw a rock (not stone) in a crowd, the one who hollers is the one who get hit!

Despite the headlines Bahamaland remains a much safer country than most of our tourism grouping. Am i downplaying the seriousness of our crime, of course not. But the media has to make up its mind, if it will be part of the solution or play the role of leader of the game of politics.

im not sure what countries are included in the grouping so its hard to agree or disagree with the statement. That said, as a tourist I would avoid the grouping altogether. There are safer places to visit.

when carnival is telling people its not save, its not a good thing. Im sure they do not do this lightly either.

It is time to read the death warrant..let them know the death penalty is still in effect!! N O W !!

I would support the death penalty if there was any evidence that it actually helped to reduce serious crime. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Just look at the statistics from the States. The world at large is moving away from the use of the death penalty because governments understand that it has no effect. What The Bahamas does need is a complete overhaul of the criminal justice system whereby persons charged with armed offences are tried promptly and efficiently. This is going to require a huge financial investment and recognition by all political parties that foreign assistance is absolutely necessary. It will also require a complete change in the mindset of all Bahamians. There must be a zero tolerance approach to all forms of crime and corruption. This cannot happen however until our politicians are prepared to lead by example.

The death penalty works for the ones who get hanged..take any weapon to their grave and dare them to use it and kill someone! that is enough evidence!

The Bahamas cannot solve the crime problem on its own. We simply do not have the expertise. So the obvious solution is we engage those who have faced similar problems and dealt with them successfully. In order to follow through with this, politicians have to set aside their egos. In addition the Bahamian people do indeed have to look at themselves in the mirror and accept that the time has come for a complete change in our attitude towards wrong doing. It is time for a new political party to emerge comprising of persons with impeccable moral credentials who will stand up for what is right. Such persons would be prepared to make the best decisions for The Bahamas and not their own self interest. This would be a party founded on righteousness and every member would be carefully vetted. It would be led by persons of the calibre of Dr. Myles Munroe. The electorate would flock to such a party because the country is sick and tired of the corrupt practices of our politicians and the destructive nature of the current two party tribal political system. Wouldn't you vote for such a party? Wouldn't you want to join such a party? We'll go to it Bahamas. The time is nigh.

It may not be a deterrent but it ensures that murderer wont murder again.

All hell broke losoe in the red shirts friendly media during the 2012 General Elections when the PLP party attempted to address Bahamaland's murder count by erecting a "single" billboard campaign sign.Today's mainstream and sideline media must understand their role in how citizens, residents and potential visitors alike are informed of our local crime,. Local media sources via international reaching social media and weblogs fed unchecked news as crime facts. Local media is a "for-profit" business and the more it struggles for a piece of a much smaller advertising dollars pie, it will run with unchecked, sensational readership grabbing headlines. even if it means putting fear into their readers for the almighty advertising dollars it. It has resulted in each local media source to intensify the sensational punch behind their crime headlines. Crime in Bahamaland has been on the bad for a number of years. Its not new. It has gone unchecked by successive governments for far too damn long.

1 billboard Tal? I'll research that one and get back to you...pretty certain I saw more than one on my travels around Nassau town.

China is great. no crime we have internet free, good homes, good public university and school.
China like help poor country that have lots problem like Nassau.

China is the only country of the many I have visited, where I actually saw orphanages with Armed Guard Houses and Metal Retractable Gates. Maybe Comrade "Red" Liang Chang would like to explain the need for such heavy security, not that anyone can blame the little Chinese citizens for wanting to escape some of the most miserable Hell Holes on earth?

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version (KJV)

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
