It's tragic.The only comfort is that he got one. Imagine them trying to decide, should we take him to the PMH or should we dump him on the side of the street. They care enough for the friend's life but don't give a damn about others.

The wealth of the western world was build using the same formula banker. We forget that's how Negroes ended up on this side of the world. This side of the world needed labor and that labor was brought here although in a forceful manner it was responsible for revolutionizing the economies of the New World. Even though the negro Bahamian was intimately part of this economic revolution, he is totally fearful of it. The bar council don't want no foreign lawyers practicing here and the average John Doe don't want no foreign negro here either.

Agreed. The banks have become utterly ridiculous. As a businessman I tried to move money quickly from one bank to the next to pay employees. In the past, a bank draft or cashiers cheque would have allowed me to do this but the banks now don't even trust each other. They told me that they had to hold the draft for two days. The banks have now become a hindrance to growth.

The Chinese plan is simple. Rather than hold trillions of dollars in US treasury bonds spend it on hard assets. The Bahamas is good of an investment as any.

So you are assuming that if a Bahamian sympathize, he or she must have Haitian roots. That we don't have the ability to sympathize and still want the Haitian problem resolved.

There are smaller countries that share borders with larger countries and the cultures are still distinctly different(check Europe). American culture is not intertwined with ours but is dominating. Suggest you take your own advice and realized that we have been Americanized. Try ordering a grouper at one of our restaurants. They give you some fresh water American fish that the average Bahamian can't even pronounce.

JB357 our culture was lost a long time ago. Our airwaves are dominated by American music. Gangster rap with all of its negativity has invaded every fabric of our society. By the way I don't see the average Haitian man wearing his pants down to his knees showing his underwear. Talk about an invasion of culture, it is from up North and not South. Well Jamaican music is popular. When you lack identity I guess it is easy to be invaded. My COB Lecturer had a British accent that lasted for twenty years even though he lived in England for four years. I am always reminded how weak our dialect is when every athlete that goes to America comes back speaking "American".

That's an oxymoron. Don't believe everything you read online. Emotion and intelligence are opposites. The stronger your emotion the less likely you are to be intelligent. I may not get involve if someone harass my neighbor but if someone harass my mother then all intelligence go out of the window. There is always a grievous act done to you or to someone that will overshadow what you so call "emotional intelligence".

Come Folks!

You expect the police to say, we acted in an overly aggressive manner which resulted in the death of an innocent man. We are truly sorry for this crime against the good doctor. Lets exam the report, 7pm is a bit early for someone to be drunk in most cases. To pass medical school and also learn several language requires a high degree of discipline. We are not talking about some street hoodlum. I would exam this one closely.

The price of cheating in most cases is too high and I am pretty cheap. Maybe if the pleasure from the sex act itself lasted for at least a day rather than 20 minutes then maybe sweethearting would be a greater consideration for me. Someone once said, if your wife was not your wife you would be looking at her with the same hungry eyes you are looking at some other women with. Count me as part of the 2%.
