it is very minor, and in the deeper water, you only add another pound or two of lead weights to counter act the bouyancy of the neoprene...but still, any little bit, no matter how small in that situation helps...or at least I would think!!
You all are a bunch of stupid animals...there...I said it...with humungous chips on your shoulders...whitey this and whitey that and bow to the queen and blah blah blah. We have a staff of nearly 200 employees...100% Bahamian...we need to baby sit people filling out applications because they cannot read or write...or want to take the application home to some other more educated person to fill out on their behalf. Our workplace requires reading skills...guess we better start there with 'skilled' labour. Wake up Bahamas...you all are dragging yourselves down to the depths where there may be no return!!
The churches are just there to line the pastors pocket and allow for a duty free loophole!! How do you think they can afford all the Bentleys and high roller cars...they are brought in and registered to the church and don't have to pay duty...think about it...a $300,000 Bentley or Rolls...after all the silly fees and duty, you are up over 80% on the value of that car...must be nice to...one...afford that type of car in the first place (thank you church members) and two...being able to snub your nose at the government because you didn't have to pay a dime in duty on the dang thing. Maybe that 300K could have been used elsewhere to help the needy...not the greedy pastor!! ...and that is only 1 example of the money that does NOT get redirected through the church to more needy projects...mansions...planes...other excesses. Living like they are kings and queens...and dare I say it thinking they are g*d themselves!!
While I understand what you are saying, and can totally see where Chris may have been a bit off base in his description, a wet suit alone, does provide you an ever so slight increase in your natural bouyancy, even without a BCD vest. It's not much, and it in no way will keep you afloat, but thinking of having to swim for 24 hours, any additional 'water weight loss' may even just be a few pounds, that's that much less wait I had to kick to keep afloat for 24 hours. I'll take it.
Yeap...almost without fail, wherever there is a construction site, there is a spike in crime in that neighbourhood...now in saying that, a gang rape is something completely different and unique. Gang rape...I've always had a hard time wrapping my mind around that one...you have to be one sick individual to commit rape in the first place, even more sick to be #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, whatever following in line. Hate to sound gross, but I ain't sticking anything near something that's already been stuck by some other person. Leads me to believe that the deviants that would take part in a gang rape must be closet queers that have some seriously pent up and twisted mentalities.
As a member of the so called merchant class I take offense to that. We are above board and pay every single tax, customs, NIB, Business License, etc. We work hand in hand with customs to weed out the 'small fry' out there trying to bring things in illegally or with false documentation. The number of commercial fishing vessels that also go over to Florida for 'service', load up their holds with merchandise and bring them back into the Bahamas and clear them through customs as 'ships stores'...then turn around and off load the product and sell it through smaller grocery stores is staggering. There are a few bad apples out there no doubt, but most of your bigger players are doing it right. The last big trouble maker was Robin Hood Enterprises, but their dishonest ways finally caught up with them.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry...stupid is as stupid does...only problem is that the two stupids are playing Russian roulette with our livelihoods.
