Cable Bahamas is full of crap and attempting to deceive the Bahamian consumer. The seeds of this particular problem was sown years ago when cable Bahamas decided to charge Bahamians for ESPN. In the United States ESPN (who is currently airing the World Cup) is considered a basic network. As a result, consumers living in the US are not charged extra for this particular channel. However, in the Bahamas, cable Bahamas decided not to include ESPN in their basic cable package in order to charge Bahamian consumers more money. Ironically, they gave Bahamians "ESPN International"as the basic sports network. But it just so happens that ESPN International also airs a lot of international soccer year round. But now since soccer is popular around this time of year because of the World Cup, cable Bahamas found some way remove international soccer from its basic format just so they can charge Bahamians extra money to watch. This post by no means covers the complexities of the Cable industry, but the bottom line still remains; Cable Bahamas like many business in the Bahamas, continues to devise ways in which they can over-charge Bahamian people. Highway robbery!

Are you retarded or just having difficulty comprehending plain, old fashion, written English??? Did Reality_Check mention anything about black people??? Either you're just plain stupid, or you've got a serious color complex. Everything you post seems to be predicated on color, nationality, or some other form of inconsequential nonsense. We are all black Bahamians. And if there are white, green, purple, red, or even blue Bahamians posting comments, then those comments are welcomed aswell. You should go and see a counselor about your apparent inferiority complex. They may not be able to help you with your color, but maybe they can help you to enhance your brain.

Listen jackass.... I was born in the Bahamas and I will be buried in the Bahamas. You read these posts, ignoring the premise of the message and then come to your own idiotic conclusions. You seem to not only have a comprehension problem, but an inferiority complex aswell. No I've never experienced the loyalty of the "potcake" Leslie Miller simply because I've never been in need of his loyalty. Unlike people like you, I pay my light bills on time and never require any underhanded deals or favors to keep my bills current. The so-called "**loyalty**" (correct spelling) that you speak of is nothing more than an over-generous act that places a heavier financial burden on consumers who pay their bills on time. Whenever your "potcake" minister does a favor for you (which you so ignorantly call loyalty), just remember that someone has to financially compensate for that. That's one of the major reasons why light bills are so high. Consumers are being charged double to compensate for illiterates like you who rely on the government for sustenance. Then you have the nerve to call it loyalty! This is the main reason why Leslie Miller is under the complete misapprehension that he can buy Bahamian support; the same way that he attempted to bribe the crisis center with $1000. If you, and other Bahamians like you were capable of standing on your own two financial feet, you wouldn't require any loyalty from a potcake like Leslie Miller. Stop relying on, depending on, blaming, and supporting political parties based upon favors and calling it loyalty. People like you are killing our country.

"Who the hell would expect more out of a potcake????" The same stupid, jackass Bahamians who voted for him; that's who!!!

Omgoodness. This man calls himself an active politician and has to question whether the US is spying on us or not??? What planet are these political leaders living on??? Furthermore.... this spying controversy initially began with the allegations that the NIA under Perry Christie was responsible for eavesdropping on bahamian's phone conversations. What ever became of that??? Did Perry Christie just assume that if he activated one of his smoke screens we would all just forget about it???

Hubert Ingraham??? I certainly hope that the Bahamian electorate aren't foolish enough to go that route again. Over a five year course this man broke the backs of Bahamians already struggling to survive! The only good deed HAI did for the average Bahamian was allowing National Insurance to issue cheques to those that were unemployed at the time. Aside from that, he, Tommy Turnquest, and Shavargo Lang, made it abundantly clear that they couldn't care less about the plight of Bahamian people. It would be down right foolish to vote for Hubert again!

PS. Alfred Gray, please shut your mouth. You and your party are no better.

I think I've made my point. If we want our government to enhance themselves, then we need to enhance ourselves as well. It's a two way street... plain and simple. And BTW, I use the term "custodian" as a euphemism. After all... I don't want to "belittle" Bahamians.

Oh geez John. Listen.... the only point that I'm trying to make is that YES, the PLP has failed and YES, the FNM has failed. But don't neglect the fact that the citizens of the Bahamas are also failing. The blame cannot rest solely on the Bahamian government although I agree that both governments have done a horrible job of stimulating the economy. Some politicians have even tried to make excuses in an effort to rationalize their lack of performance and unfulfilled promises. No one believes their excuses and God knows they don't have any. However, the citizens of the Bahamas must shoulder some or the blame for the condition of our country too. While the government is responsible for providing a certain level of subsidies for the people, they are not responsible for giving us everything. This is not a one track issue, which is why I'm critical of both entities. Our country is in a poor state because the people continue to fail as well as our government. It seems that we the people often forget to include ourselves when we criticize the condition of the Bahamas. If we're going to turn our country around , then we need to start with ourselves. This was my initial argument regarding this headline. What's so hard to understand about that?

So if crime is down, I guess Dr Bernard Nottage and his underling Keith Bell don't need their guns anymore.

Many years ago a friend of mine was unemployed and living in the Bahamas aswell. His light was off for months and he ate ramen noodles every night for dinner and was grateful. He would catch the bus around nassau for years looking for work until he finally found a school willing to hire him as a custodian. From there he became a security officer before becoming a teachers aide. He finally became an elementary school teacher and was able to eventually acquire a university degree in clinical phlebotomy. And if he can do it.... anybody can. Bahamians need to rid themselves of the idea that the government owes them everything. The only thing promised to anyone is death and bills! Life is hard and you have to work harder than the person next to you if you wish to survive. Stop making excuses and point the finger at the man in the mirror... not the government.
