Well said Sam...I am with you.

Bahamians, spoil your vote by voting DNA!!

THIS IS WHAT I WILL SAY TO SAM THOMPSON (FACE TO FACE)

If you spoil your ballot in this election (with so much at stake for this nation) then you are a gut-less, cowardly, treasonous piece of shit ......... a DNA vote last election got us the PLP for 5 years and the PLP has taken our country back 40 years to the Pindling era of NATION FOR SALE ...... are you freaking crazy?????????

Hey Sheep

Mr. Thompson and Mr./Ms. Justthefactsplease een gern change their minds by calling them freaking crazy -- even though they probably are for voting for a lightweight like Bran Flakes.

One thing that I have learned, is that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them think. People thin-slice -- meaning that they make snap decisions, and then have an endowment entitlement over a faulty logical position of that snap decision. It all seems so perfectly elegant and logical to them.

I'll never change birdbrain's (ermm birdie's) mind by insulting her - even though it satisfies some uncivilised instinct in me. I will never change her mind by being rational. I could debate with the wit of Winston Churchill and the intellect of Albert Einstein and you can never make dense people see the light. It is a matter of cognitive abilities. Cognitive ability in people is varied. A good analogy is a thimble and a teacup. Fill both with water and they are both up to their capacity in logic, reasoning and cognitive skills. But there is a lot more water of sanity in the teacup than in the thimble. That is why you can never change people's mind. The only thing that will cause them to change, is them getting a good cut hip, either literal or figurative as a result of an action they personally took.

These kinds of people with fallacious points of view will hardly ever see the light. They are not willing to take the time to learn the possibilities. They cannot disconnect from their original, fallacious thoughts. They don't examine consequences fairly and evenly. They hold their opinions strongly without rigorous mental examination. In short, you will never change anyone's mind with invective and rhetoric -- even though it is fun to do and is cathartic.

The only hope of Bahamians patriots, is that there are enough people smart enough to see that Minnis is trying, has a group around him built on meritocracy and higher ideals, and won't tolerate the corruption that the PLP slimeball, sub-human, gutter rats practice daily. The only hope is that the collective intelligence is smart enough for that -- but I doubt it. Bahamian brains fetch the highest prices on the organ black market, because they are in such pristine, unused condition. Also they are an exquisite collection of miniatures. God help us all.

@banker: Too many of you posting comments to The Tribune website are completely blinded by The Tribune's bias and your own desired outcome to the general election no matter what the facts and truth may be behind these so called "political bombs". Most of you simply do not appreciate that if the likes of Minnis, Symonette and D'Aguilar achieve their political ambitions, the Bahamian people are guaranteed to experience corruption and cronyism by elitist politicians on a scale never before seen, or imagined....it will make Christie and his merry band of bandits seem like petty thieves in a lollipop store!

You know, today I'm hoping that by 10AM I'm as rich as Brent Symonette. It could happen...all things are possible right?

This hope that you have that neither Christie or Minnis becomes PM leaves us with the option of Barney the Dinosaur leading us for five years and Barney is very annoying, can you imagine him trying to sit in one of those chairs in the house? And then he'd want to jump around too. And how would he hold any documents up in the air and scream the irrefutable facts are here for all to see Mr Speaker! He has no hands! Sadly as you can see, Barney won't work.

You're a fine one to talk about facts and truths. I have caught you in one big lie and discerned many more. I am never going to change your mind with rational thought, so I will not even try. Carry on smartly and I wish you all the best in your life.

I wholeheartedly agree Banker, Mudda Taker (Take what?) is very much in the vain of Tal and Strawn. Do not read or worse still respond to their paid drivel.

Well said BANKER! Spot on.

"*It is very annoying when persons try to bully you into voting the way they want.*"

Then why are you telling people what to do? Doesn't make sense.

Many people (including some of the Tribune commentors) seem to think that supporters of the FNM are as blind and as rabid concerning issues and personalities as those who support the PLP ............... Generally, FNM supporters seem to be more educated, exposed and enlightened than PLP supporters

The core beliefs of the FNM speak to a nationalist agenda, while the PLP core beliefs are more geared towards socialist ideals ....... Thus the contrast in philosophical style and electoral support
