Good luck John Does...

The only way such a thing would happen is if every person who is currently in political power is removed and replace by someone new and fresh.

It's like putting new blood in an old body. Eventually the new blood will be tainted and soon enough you won't be able to tell new from old. Need to put new with new and get rid of the old.

A good point Pastor Roy...they need to look at creating an industry for marijuana. It's unfourtunate that the Bahamas relies so heavily on the tourism industry to make revenue for our country. We have so many other untapped resources that while they may not completely sustain our economy they will help to contribute in some way, thus taking the burden solely of tourism.

Why does the Bahamian government feel they need to maintain control of everything. There is no issue with allowing Bahamian own and operated companies to take control of some things. The landfill being one of them...in fact it most likely would benefit more from the ownership of a privately owned bahamian company.

Are you a dodo? Quite possibly and more likely not an animal lover. But let me clear something up for you....
First off you stated proper tags (license) which does exclude a collar. You never stated if that dog had at least a collar on, so I assumed at the very least the dog was wearing one. Secondly I am fully aware there are people that are afraid of dogs, people are afraid of men wearing hoodies the point is the police cannot monitor every aspect of public life just because there is someone afraid. And I highly doubt that a person who cannot be bothered to give "feefee" a bath and see that they at least wear a collar would be concerned about bring them to a public setting. People who tend to bring their pets to public settings are those who care for and about their pet- but I am almost willing to bet you don't own a pet and probably never have.

And using my statement of "the majority of attacks on humans by dogs were provoked attacks" to say that there is still a slim chance of attack takes it totally out of context. What it I am having a bad day and someone approaches me in a manner I deemed disrespectful there is a slim chance they will get popped in the face. Should the police then moniter every angry or aggravated person in public.

Use your common sense...people need to take responsibility for their own actions. As I said if dogs frighten you let it be known and deal with it.

A sin is a sin there is none greater than the other...the problem comes in when we don't confess, repent, seek forgiveness, and attempt to not commit that sin again. No one is perfect....my issue isn't with human rights. everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the basic human rights being treated with respect, dignity, and the right to walk down the street without being harassed. My problem is with attempting to educate the public on LGBT issues....as a Christian I don't need to be educated on that issue. The Bible clearly states God's stand on that and I don't need a lesson on what that entails.

Maybe people may require a lesson on how to treat one another as human beings but as for the gay or lesbian issue the only lesson require is that it is a sin. Plain and simple...and the only people who would argue that this is wrong are non-Christians.

What we have done is allowed every nation to make calls about our destiny with no regards to the outcome. When American threatened to blacklist us if we didn't open our financial information to them we kowtowed. How did that end for us? Crippled our banking industry- shut down many of our offshore banks and took money straight out of the governments pockets. And now they are seeking way to get it back (VAT), I bet they didn't consider the affect that decision would have on us in long run while they were so busy clinging to America.
Same with their need to please Britain- the Privy council has all these men who have committed heinous murders sitting on death row and can't be hanged.

The Bahamas needs to handle it's own business independent of looking for handouts and trying to please everyone.

I am sure that's the same mentality people had in the US and now you can't even sneeze in public without someone wanting to sue you cause you got them sick.

I am well aware that the Bahamas is a global nation. You are speaking about apples when we clearly were focused on oranges. Correct me if I am wrong but transgender means you are of a different sex that that of which you were born. So in essence if you were male and are now female for all intents and purposes you are female...So yes I can see the issue with someone with female parts utilizing a male restroom. And for the most part usually transgender person can only be identified when they chose to because generally they move into their new gender with no one being the wiser (not saying all this way but majority are). That isn't the issue the problem I have is WOMEN or MEN who are clearly WOMEN or MEN no gender change trying to force their lifestyle on others.

Just because you wear baggy clothes and cut your hair bald does not give you a penis and therefore you have no rights in a male restroom. Same goes for males in skirts and makeup. No one is stopping you from being what you want and doing what you want but at what point does the Bahamas stop bending the rules that makeup our society to make others comfortable.

Oh so based on what you seem to believe because we have a huge Haitian population then the language of the Bahamas should change to Creole after all it's not fair that the Haitians fresh from Haiti have a hard time understanding English- in some way that's abuse to them.
And while we are at it let's start wearing traditional Chinese garb and learn to speak Cantonese or Mandarin or both so that the Chinese that now reside in the Bahamas don't feel as though their civil liberties are infringed upon because most Bahamians speak English.

Yes a person should not have fear to be who they are, but should we start changing the laws of our country to accommodate what is clearly against right and wrong.

Another classic "something for nothing" moment brought to you courtesy of the Bahamian people. For the love of all things good why can't we just move our country forward on hard work, determination, fairness, and people with education. Why must we always look for the easy way out.

We get the money and then what...another set of money to be misappropriate and poorly handled by whatever government is in power. SMH!!! The more I think I know about my Bahamian people the more they surprise me. This is a whole new level of the "entitled" mentality.

So my mother grounded me on a day I was suppose to swim and qualify for our national team. Guess I better seek reparations from my mom for all the money I could have possibly made as an Olympic swimmer. Jeesh-

Have you ever been to the landfill... Go and spend a day out there and then come back and let me know how it goes. In fact when you do ask for Mrs. Wilson who is out there everyday- maybe she can give you a tour and explain how the landfill functions.

Oh and let her show you the old side of the landfill before this new side was built back in the mid 90's under the consult group from Canada. And see how different the two actually are.

And when you are done...then come back and ask me about credible sources. Don't let my moniker of BahamianAway mislead you. I am very much apart of Bahamian society and know exactly what I speak about.
