You made a comparison between the two actors and where they decided to live their lives.Let me spell it out for you as you seem confused as to their individual decisions. SP was an American citizen and spent his life in the USA as a working actor. He lived in LA as the vast majority of actors do, as that's where movies are made.He wasn't being unpatriotic by doing this but simply following a path to garner work and gain income.SC was a British actor who if he decided to live in the UK would have been subjected to high UK taxes. He could have lived in LA like SP but decided to live in The Bahamas to avoid paying taxes. Its that simple. There was nothing inherently patriotic or altruistic about SC decision to live in The Bahamas. It was merely financial.
I agree with your post. That being said I responded to the original post in the context it was stated. LOP was more well known in The Bahamas for sure but as for being the most famous Bahamian, that distinction would belong to SP.
Id..t! Sean Connery spent most of his life in the Bahamas to avoid paying taxes!!! Are you simple or what? There is no comparison to be made between the two actors.
You're either not too smart or overly patriotic. The word 'famous'essentially means known by millions of people worldwide. LOP is known in these islands and the Caribbean diaspora granted, however then consider the fact that SP was the FIRST black man to win an Academy Award and delivered numerous other firsts in the entertainment industry, whilst living in the biggest media centre of the world(Los Angeles) . Its not even a discussion. He's one of the most famous MEN of the 20th century.
How could they not? There are thousands of Bahamians with dual or even triple citizenships. What do you think Albany and Old Fort Bay etc were established for?
'A lowly animal that would have died due to its lacking front legs, is cared for and nurtured by another. That little animal not only survives but also becomes an inspiration to others.'
No such thing ever happens!! If you wish to give some kind of example of the nurturing and care afforded by animals , this isn't a good example. If an animal is crippled, handicapped in any way, its mother may initially stay with it for a time but eventually the pack moves on and the parent leaves it to DIE. There is no such thing as' inspiration ' in the animal kingdom. That is a human quality.
'Tutu conflated mere opposition rooted in love to hatred of gay people. In reality, however, not every form of discrimination is bad. For instance, no right-thinking parent would entrust their children to a known paedophile' I reject your theory that the opposition was rooted in love. Its not discrimination, its bigotry, encased in religious sanctimony. Your analogy of a pedophile aand homosexuality betrays your ignorance and lack of understanding of the pluralistic and secular world we live in. Typical of uneducated bible bashers.
Idiot. If 90% of the population is black, who the .... do you think they will be primarily shooting? Don't go throwing around words of which you have no idea of their meaning. Black people cant be 'racist' towards other black people because they are the same RACE!!!! You can only be racist towards someone of another race.

Totally off-point and not in any way a valid response. Read the letter again and then read my reply.
