I don't think Bahamians have any idea just how corrupt and self serving both parties are. Both parties appear to be filled with persons that 100% enter politics to lick the icing off the cake of the Bahamian people.
This is a good post, because it is on target. From my experience, there are many more qualified Bahamians than jobs available for them to fill. Sure, there are droves of uneducated, but every society has them. What concerns me about the Bahamas is that you can have a BA, Masters and higher and still have to scrounge for a job at base pay. There simply are not enough jobs on this rock period. In my view, education is not the issue.
Why are small amounts of marijuana for personal use even illegal? What a travesty of "free will" human dignity. When will we allow people to make their own choices and live their own lives?
I can't believe the ignorance in this matter. The vendors and Bahamian people have a legal right to use that access point to Cabbage Beach that can be enforced in the Bahamian Courts. Bahamians have a common law implied public prescriptive easement over the land, because they have been using it for over twenty years without permission. The Courts will imply a legal grant of the right of way in this matter. If people would just read, we wouldn't be having all this fuss. The law is the law.
In most countries around the world, a public admission like the one in today's paper that you paid a kickback out of the public treasury to a PLP supporter would get you locked up. You just confessed to stealing the people's money and giving it to a friend. Instant jail time. If you want to help a supporter, use your own F#@@#%# money, not ours!!!!!
This is not the FNM I will vote for. I refuse to vote for a bunch of nitpickers. I demand results and a plan of action. Criticizing the PLP gets you zero votes in my book, because a two year old could point out their flaws. The PLP is the status quo, majority rule party. We all know they're terrible, but they represent the majority, black working class that overthrew the white masters. For this reason they are, by and large, allowed to be terrible, simply because they are a symbol of black positivism, if only that. The FNM, however, cannot be terrible; they are not allowed to be. If they do not bring results, they will be shut down like a salad bar at an obesity convention.
If you believe for one second any Bahamian has the intelligence, resources or capacity to solve the gang problem in The Bahamas, I have a bridge I want to sell you.
FNM. Sit small on this one. The PLP made a good decision for once that you should have made when you had the chance. Now, we need some feedback. Is the FBI nomenclature just a rubber stamp and hypothetical or will they come down here and get down and dirty. We require a detailed assessment of how the FBI will be implemented in The Bahamas: what powers will they have, will agents fly to The Bahamas etc. I will be royally p'd off if this is just another PLP smoke screen.
