With last year's Carnival being such a dismal failure, and if anything, the economy in even worse shape, why on earth are we having another Carnival?
Surely there are better ways to spend money? Have all the people and structures affected by Hurricane Joaquin been repaired yet? Let's get our priorities straight!
It matters little whether you agree or not with the US Embassy's directives to its own staff and citizens -- they can tell them anything they want. That is their right to do so.
What we, as Bahamians, should be more concerned about is how our country is going down the toilet at a rapid rate. These warnings are not made up or done through spite. They are a clear and present warning to us that if we don't shape up and start getting our crime under control that we will see further warnings. Thank goodness someone out there is sending up the warning, as we seem quite content to stick our heads in the sand and make bleating sounds of how unfair it is when an outsider points out the obvious. Surely we're not that stupid, or are we?
Waah, waah, waah. Anyone with any sense can see that COB is a joke through and through. The education should be free -- insuch as its value is lacking. The first lessons these students need to learn is not to procrastinate and that life isn't fair. Stop whining and find a real school to go to.
IN other words, they have no idea what is going on. They are making this up as they go along. God help us!
Remember now, folks -- each doctor gets 500 patients (so you'll never be able to get an appointment without waiting a long time), and each patient (sorry "insured") gets $221 of covereage each YEAR. That doesn't even cover an annual physical.
themessenger, just curious, but what is a "natural Bahamian"?
As far as I can tell the only "natural Bahamians", aka the Lucayans, were gone from these islands long ago. Every last one of us here now is an immigrant.

What is the point of a referendum -- this useless PLP government ignores the will of the people anyway? Just pass the damn law and be done with it.

Publius, that's quite an allegation -- what proof do you have that the money raised is not going to hurricane recovery?
Typical PLP response to something they don't like -- belittle it and make wild accusations. SMT.

If anything the students should be demanding an education instead of silly "my feelings are hurt" apologies. Get your priorities straight, kiddies.
