There are many responsible put bull parents who hate to see the whole breed given a bad name by irresponsible and ignorant pit bull owners. We are tired of seeing these loyal, intelligent and gentle dogs being blamed for the actions of a few bad ones.
While out and about, we take every opportunity to educate people on the "good" pit bull, and people see how loving and playful a well-adjusted pit bull can be.
The old adage holds true -- there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
The bad owners need to be held accountable -- not their dogs.
A little competition is good for Atlantis. Their food prices are out of control and quality has also diministed over the years. People arrive at Atlantis with suitcases of food or make grocery stops on the way from the airport so as to avoid the high resort prices.
A Wendy's on PI would be welcomed, and provide a reasonable option for people looking for a quick and familiar meal.
What's Atlantis so afraid of? All that rubbish about Wendy's ruining the cultural and esthetic look for PI is just that -- nonsense. That went out the window when Atlantis came to town.

We are still only discussing a means for Bahamian MEN to pass on their Bahamas citizenship.
When will Bahamian women have the same right to pass on their citizenship to their children? And not be punished for having a child in wedlock, as the current rules state that if a woman i sunmarried, then her child cna take her Bahamas citizenship. Yet, no discusson for Bahamian men to be married in order to pass on their citizenship.
Once again, we pretend to discuss equality, but miss the boat. Again.
When will we cease to be a backward patriarchal society?
As a Bahamian woman, I should have the right to pass on my Bahamian citizenship to my child. This should not have to be applied for, but a birthright. Marital status should be irrelevant.
Let's get out of the dark ages, Bahamas. 50 years of independence and we're still in the grip of pre-civilised society. Let equal right means equal rights.
However, from a practical and realistic perspective, there are many children who use part time employment to supplement their family's income or to pay for their own school uniforms and supplies. Until we improve the socio exonomic situation, this is a reality for many.
A compromise would be that those unde 16 can only hold jobs after school hours or on weekends, and summer when school is not in session. Otherwise, these children need to be in school getting an education so they can improve their work prospects.
And even at 16, jobs should be limited to certain categories and hours. These are still children and deserve protextion.
Reading through some of these comments, the sheer ignorance, intolerance and lack of compassion is embarrassing. However, it's not surprising for a country than can't even look after its women and children -- with domestics violence, rape and child abuse rampant. And we have the nerve to call ourselves a "Christian Nation" Only on Sundays...
I hope the lady finds her peace in Canada. At least there are legal protections there and medical and mental health care are available.
This is nonsense -- there are no bad pit bulls, just bad owners. A pit bull by nature is not more aggressive than any other breed. Do the research.
As a responsible pit bull owner, I go through all kinds of red tape each and every time I take my dogs to Florida for medical treatment, and jump through all the required hoops to do so. I cannot imagine owning any other breed than a pit bull -- they are the most loyal and sweet pups and only want to please. They are intelligent and quick learners, and are not typically hostile to other dogs and humans.
Is this the BHS's official position? If so, I will no longer be supporting them.
