Yah man, dis ain gots nuttin to do with our own nights bleaching reef for profit.

Come on people; look at the big picture. We "elect" a government , one over another, because we like their promises to "serve us" . For the last almost 100 years the government's of the world have been so "concerned " about the use of marijuana that they were willing to implement laws to make its use illegal, and they've been willing to prosecute and imprison (i.e. put you in a cage) the people they serve , to protect them.

Don't you think we should now be concerned that they for some reason , no longer strive to protect us in this same manner.

If "we the people" (to borrow a phrase from Americans) had any brains at all, we'd storm that big house on the hill and throw them all out for good and cancel all the "laws they been "serving" us with.

Everything government does is about control and enriching themselves and their buddies, democracy is an illusion; while it's true we elect, everything beyond the electing is a farce. You essentially "legitimize the leader who screws you over by electing him/her"

This is not a moral debate about the pros and cons of marijuana, this is simply the politics of selling the people on the next phase screwing us over.
If PLP and FNM are both supporting this , it just means that they will share the wealth of this next scam amongs their common friends.

The people of the Bahamas, and all other countries don't count, the people who matter, the ruling class , they will benefit, and only them.

people should be careful calling for annual boat inspections.

The government doesn't do its jobs now, what makes anyone think they can manage any additional chores.

What we need is responsible people who not only are educated and knowledgeable about the industry standards, but also who are willing to utilize best practices and proper maintenance.

Government can't do what it's doing now, much less legislate the stupidity out of the populous, and the last thing we need is more rules to follow

Nothing but prolonged exposure to heat at a high enough temperature will kill bacteria.

Anyone who thinks washing in fresh water will help is a fool and should not be giving advice about food safety.

"The report was foreshadowed last month by Health Minister Dr Duane Sands, who yesterday said the government’s position will be determined by the Cabinet."

If the government even has a position, especially as quoted above by Duane Sands, none of us care.

The govenments position is determine by the population, and we don't give a damn about what a few useless ignorant cabinet ministers think.

You be damn right bout that, cause to sleep, something first has to exist.

Why yall fools keep talkin an believing this God nonsense? Ain yah notice all the politicians and our biggest home grown thieves, and other criminal bad apples all talk god and ain nothing happen to any them.

Ain notice how so many pastor / preacher live in big house an drive german car on monies meant for the church, ain nothing happen them.

Ever notice how many innocent children die ?

Ain no god, never has been, never will be. If there had been a god, he don't care bout people or can't do anything to help anyone. If he could do, and didn't , he's an a$# , and if he can't do, he ain no god at all.

Wise up, put the fairy tales behind you, you gotta make this life count for yourself, cause once u done gone that's it, ain no second time around.

Any Bahamian contractor or developer who given the opportunity to use the same Chinese labour over their current Bahamian labour would do so in a heartbeat.

It's Chinese money being spent on Chinese land. Who are we to say it's supposed to be our jobs.

Let a Bahamian buy the next project, then that company can staff with whoever lazy ass Bahamian they want

Hey John, why would I troll from another country. Is this the best you can do ? Can't discredit what I say. Could I have this insight without being part of society.
Don't think I know who Brent is? Don't think I grew up in the nastiness of Nassau. You don't think I have the right to call it like I see it?
Why don't you go through all my posts and come back and tell me what I aint right bout. Better yet go through all my posts and tell me I foreign.

you and ass, and in denial, and u is part of the 99% I describe.

I realize now that 99 percent of our population are hypocrites in that they bitch about our own useless people; ie working at BEC and call for foreign to come run it so we can have steady power. Yet I'm sadly disappointed to also notice about the same percentage is stupid. I.e. this is not an article about Bahamian jobs; cause ain't no Bahamian elite gonna buy and re develop the Hilton, no, no chance. But the foreign will. And that makes this their money, their land and their job.
I laugh, most of our big mouth, fat, undereducated, lazy and bad attitude people deserve what deh get, and that is employment if deh lucky, and unemployment and starvation if not.
I don't feel I owed even the littlest piece of work there at the point. How is it all u fools think that be your job. ?

"Political Party's " are the most anti democratic part of the system. Party discipline- i.e. forcing members to vote along party lines is tantamount to treason, i.e. forcing the elected to vote in line with party objectives regardless of their number one mandate which is to represent the will of the people's.

Anyone in support of firing party members for voting against "the party line" is not a supporter of democracy, much less a supporter of the people.

We need to push this issue and force these guys to come clean and get them out of office as quickly as possible.

Let's not forget, that the main reason "party discipline" exists, and persists is so that "party agenda's" can knowingly be forced on a populace despite the people's will.
