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.

Credibility??? How can you discern credibility, or the lack there of, based upon a blog??? You sound like a typical black Bahamian attempting to play plantation politics in an effort to disguise your own personal shortcomings. Save your "black man, white man," jargon for your foolish counterparts. You, like many black Bahamians, try to play the race card whenever you're confronted by the facts of your own ineptitudes. How can I despise Bahamians when I'm a Bahamian myself. Why would any employer initiate a higher payroll by hiring a foreigner simply because of a racial bias towards black Bahamians??? If anything... he would hire a person whom he doesn't have to pay much because it would be in his best financial interest. Why do you think contractors hire so many Haitians??? You're talking utter nonsense. Black, qualified Bahamians are doing just fine in this country and not feeling the pinch of the recession simply because they've made prudent decisions with their lives. Many Bahamians need to realize that they're unemployed because of the poor choices they continue to make. If you're currently unemployed, then maybe you should qualify yourself to occupy a demanding field. Stop blaming the government for everything and get up off your lazy behinds and make something of yourselves. And for the record.... I don't really care if you need my job or not, because chances are, your not qualified either.

The only slave in the Bahamas is you. You're a slave to your own stupidity. One only has to read a few sentences of your blog to conclude that you haven't got much sense. You really would serve the Bahamas better by picking cotton.

You are the textbook example of stupidity. I can't believe our county actually breeds idiots like you. You remind me of a mangy dog that hangs around the Harold Road dump.

Why are you referring to nationality??? Nationality is not the issue. Color is not the issue. The issue is ILlEGAL occupation of a country. No matter how hard you work; no matter how overachieving one may be. The bottom line is that they are breaking our laws while expecting our government to make provisions for them. It does not and should not work.

Go where??? And vote for who??? Not the FNM I hope!
