Thank you!

You misunderstood. Im speaking for sensible Bahamias who possess the ability to think clearly, logically, intelligently and coherently.

I'm imagining that this doesn't include you.

Isn't this some bull- s#%t!!!
This man is being paid by the people of the Bahamas to represent the people of the Bahamas..... yet, when asked a question related to national importance...... he refuses to answer!! What the hell kind of country is this???? The fundamental practice of a democracy is that elected leaders are accountable and answerable to the people!!

I wish I could see the actual faces of the Bahamian people who voted for the Bernard Nottage and the PLP! And then these very same people have the nerve to stand on the unemployment line and complain about our state of affairs and how tough things are!!

Are you serious???
You're the FNM equivalent to that defective, PLP idiot, birdiestrachan!

I swear..... these politicians just don't get the point.
Are these men delusional or just plain detached from the Bahamian public? News Flash...... we the Bahamian people no longer want any old, antiquated, failed, politician (such as Dion, Carl, or Tommy) representing us anymore!! As a matter of fact, we don't want the FNM, period!!! For God sake.... somebody spread the word!!! The old FNM (including HAI and his FNM minions) are the main reason that PGC and his PLP thieves and incompetent cronies are in power now!!

I'm really vexed with Brandville McCartney and the DNA for not presenting their 38 candidates and conducting a public convention sooner!! With the next General Election less that two years away, he still seems to be air bagging!! Leaving the Bahamian electorate to choose between two failed, ineffective governments!

Agree with you 110%!!!
For years I've been telling people that the problem with the Bahamas, is the people of the Bahamas!!!

Too many of us don't read; we don't think; we're corruptible; we're selfish; and we're dishonest. More importantly we have become a nation where the majority of us are just plain dumb, ignorant, and stupid.

Tell me.... which logical, honest, self respecting persons would vote for someone like Brave Davis (who uses his influence and illegal tactics to assist murderers and drug dealers) or Leslie Miller or Bernard Nottage (all who served reverently under the drug tainted, scandal ridden tutelage of the corrupted regime of Lynden Pindling).

Bahamians continue to vote in crooks!! Then they have the nerve to complain when they're jobless, penniless, and hungry. We're reaping what we have sown! And the sensible people are suffering along with the ignorant people because ignorance is in abundance.

Preach it banker!!

I'm having difficulty understanding your argument.
My point is simply that a basic education (K - 12) is a fundamental necessity for all. No matter your walk in life, in today's world, graduating high school is a fundamental, basic necessity that most people should have, if not everyone. Of coarse history does have many examples of individuals who have accomplished success without and education. But I assure you that it's a small percentage when compared with the obvious. Statistics have proven that a high school education is pivotal for personal success. That can't be argued.

And did you really just say that a fundemental education ends at grade 3??? WOW. Not only is that utter rubbish, but you've just told the entire Bahamas (and the world) that you don't possess a high school education. Only someone who never graduated high school would make an ignorant statement such as that. I pray that you're not a Bahamian nor a parent of school-age children. Because it's people like you and yours that contributes to the D (really an F) average.

Oh, I'm not saying that Harcourt is the answer (by no means).
What I'm suggesting is that some of our education curriculum be modified in order to familiarize our students with the global standard of education.

The glogal standard of education is extremely important because it is a proven, systematic, qualitative approach that serves as a catalyst in familiarizing students with the physical laws that conduct the natural world. It also aids in helping students to broaden their view and understanding of the world.

We live in an age where I believe that a college education, or a lucrative trade/skill is a must if one wishes to survive. Both require critical thinking abilities and a fundamental education. In the last three decades the world has drastically evolved. Likewise, we must evolve. For example, we used typewriters when I was in school. Today... students operating under the global standard are utilizing keyboarding skills, PowerPoint and Excel. Some students in other countries are even experimenting with writing software programs (while in high school). They are being taught and trained at an early age that most of the world depends upon computer software.
Where are our computer software engineers??? It seems that after acquiring their private school education, they go to college where they excel and then they never come back to the Bahamas.
I guarantee you that private schools in the Bahamas don't use the public school's curriculum. As a matter of fact, both QC, St Andrews and SAC prepare their seniors to sit ACT and GCE exams. The government needs to step up the public schools education curriculum. The world is changing. We need to keep up. That's all I was trying to say.

You got it!!
