When will this ignornace and fear-mongering stop!?! Did this parent think "gayness" is contagious and his/her child would somehow be "infected". What utter idiocy. What are you so afraid of?

If you dont' like tomatoes, don't eat them! If you don't like swimming, don't swim. If you don't like drugs, don't use them. For God's sake, these so-called Christians need to learn some tolerance and how to make choices for themselves!

Congratulations, Ms. Jones! You and your fiancé deserve many years of happiness together. I apologize for some of our less enlightened countrymen and women. This shouldn't even be an "issue" for debate.

Hold their feet to the fire -- their big toes should be feelign the heat by now! So much more to go, and lay bare the sordid mess and massice collaboration and collusion that took place in this heist. Go Mr. Izmirlian!

"Free shipping" is calculated on the promotional price. I suspect Amazon is offering this as a "short term" option to test the market and the free shipping will not be a permanent thing.

However, maybe is this time to examine the shipping costs charged by a limited number of shipping operators. Perhaps making things more competitive is a good thing!

And I've never understood the concept of charging duty on the freight charges. It's an intangible -- what am I paying duty on exactly? "Landed cost" is a government racket!

Look for local retailers to up their game too.

This could be a good thing to have some real competition in our local markets.

@Proguing, you do understand how business financing works, right? Had CCA delivered the hotel on time as they had promised and kept stringing him along with false promises, Mr. Izmirlain would have had the hotel open. making money, and able to pay the loans. CCA deliberately kept the construction unfinished so they could force a default. All planned and why Mr. Izmirlain won his fraud suit against CCA in New York.

Boo-hoo! Time to pay up for the fraud, CCA!

Witha fraud convistion in the US, CCA's parent compnay will not longer be allowed to have contracts in the US -- no way they'd risk losing this. They have more than enough assests to voer the award. Pay up and get out! Time to trim the corruption in the Bahamas -- that is what is hurting investments!

And stop with the "people will be out of work" nonsense -- Mr. Izmirlian was prepared to hire more people and probably pay more in the origianl Baha Mar plan. Will he do so now? Perhaps, but should have thought of that before the shakedown and collusion with CCA, hmm?

Congratulations, Mr. Izmirlain! Hold their feet to the fire!

A sham and a shakedown indeed.

Will we ever find out exactly what role the Bahamas government played in this?

Congratulations, Mr. Izmirlian, for winning your case, and for not giving up and persisting after having your dream stolen from you.

DillyTree says...

How ironic!

All those years of flying for free they now want to complain? Tiem to cough it up, freeloaders!

As a lifelong FNM, I will NEVER vote for Minnis again.

He thinks Killarney is a safe seat. I would advise him to think long and hard, as there are many of us in Killarney who want another candidate to vote for. If Minnis runs in Killarney, I will stay home on Election Day.

This looks like the very tip of the iceberg for what is left to come out!

CCA will settle, as they cannot afford to lose this case. If they are found liable for fraud in the US, they can no longer carry out any contracts or ownership in any US projects or properties. A shame really, as I would like it to go to trial so that ALL of the sordid details come out -- especially if there was any complicity of the then Christie PLP government.

"No man is left behind"?

Are we back to the days where women can't have their own accounts again? I would suggest a better wording would have been "no one left behind", unless of course, it really is meant to be "man". So tired of the sexism and ignorance in this country!
