MLBostwick, it's entirely up to you how you spend your money. Personally, I like animals better as they are not judgemental and love unconditionally. Above all, they are innocents without a voice. This is why I also contribute to several children's homes.
Hardly a wanna be, as my Bahamian heritage goes back to the 1600s. I am so damn tired of having to justify and explain my Bahamianess to people because I am white. So yes, I am fed up with the small-mindedness that believes that if you are white, or of any foreign descent that you cannot be a Bahamian.That thinking is what keeps our country down. It's not national pride, it's bigotry. Go look it up.
In a democracy, anyone can start a political party and campaign accordinging. Also in a democracy, you can vote for whomever you wish. So what the hell are you all so frightened about?
Yep, this is the spirit of 2002 coming back to haunt the PLP.
Unfortunately, it's the Bahamian people -- men, women and children -- who continue to suffer for the incompetence and inaction of a few. Equal rights under the law is a fundamental human right and until we achieve this, we remain a failed backwater banana republic.
What a bunch of biggoted fools we Bahamians are! Each and every one of us came from somewhere else, so no one has bragging rights on being the indigenous people of the Bahamas -- unless you are Lucayan. If people are here legally and as Bahamians, then they have the SAME rights and responsibilities as everyone else.
I have never heard of Ms Rolle but I'm willing to give her a chance, but all this FNM nonsense is just making the party look as disorganised and unruly as any. 2017 is coming quick, so they had best get their house in order. There's no way I want to see another PLP term, but at this point, I can't see the FNM doing much better. And DNA just ain't happening for me -- Bran has swapped teams too many times!
Does this just seem like a bad deja vu moment, just wrapped in a different smell?
Bahamian investors....yep, we've heard this one before. These damn spin doctors need to come up with a different plan.
How about we just let free market take place and maybe, just maybe, we'd have a company that could run without government or other shady "investor" hobbling? And maybe we'd actually have decent, reliable and affordable cell service. There's a novel idea!
As i understand it, there are two routes here for a child born in the Bahamas to non-Bahamian Haitian parents:
1. Register the birth with the Bahamas, but go to the Haitian Embassy to apply for a Haitian passport. 2. Register the birth with the Bahamas, but do not get a Haitian passport.
Does either 1 or 2 affect the child's ability to apply for registration as a Bahamian citizen at the age of 18? If the child has no passport, then it seems more likely they are able to get a Bahamian one at the age of 18 since they have no official citizenship. However, with a Haitian passport, it would be perhaps harder to apply for Bahamian citizenship if you already have citizenship in another country.
This man should not be allowed to be on probation. Nothing less than a full jail sentence is acceptable for his crime of preying on a young girl. This was not once -- he molested this young girl for several years, and as such, should be serving 5-10 for EACH occurence of this abuse. He does not belong on the streets where he would be free to molest and rape other young innocent children.
His lawyer should know better. Perhaps he would be comfortable having his convicted client babysit his 10 year old daughter, but I sure as hell wouldn't!
So many fools with foolish comments. This is NOT about illegal immigrants, this is about restricting the ability of children to go to school and receive an education -- something so few Bahamians seem to value. Look at today's article on the nearly 55% of under-educated, illiterate and unemployable bahamians in this country and tell me again how restricting education to those who want to go to school is such a wonderful idea.
This is the reason why crime has gotten out of hand -- so many without an education that can't find employment. And those who are only qualified to do menial labour don't want the jobs, as it's beneath them. Guess who is doing those jobs????!!!!!! Haitians. Come on, Bahamians, the hypocrisy stinks!
