Maybe nine (9) of the states have held executions in the US in last 9 years. Of the thirty-two (32) who still allow it in some form. The other eighteen (18) out right prohibit it by law. The USA's federal Government can actively support or not support it without it bearing on the states individual right to choose, meaning saying the US, is an error and shows ignorance on the topic.

The issue is that we are a Commonwealth, in that way, we are beholden to some degree of UK doctrine on matters like this as you can see if you research Commonwealth countries history with Death penalty. Amnesty has substantial influence in it's base country, so it follows.

While I hate murder, and I may, upon the tragedy near my own heart, change this opining moral stance, I cannot say logically or morally as a independent and unbiased person, it is right. We are reminded daily, by the swift death penalty cabal of unstable countries and I don't see how, aligning our countries penal code to savagery and calling upon our courts, recognized as inefficient and an sometimes ineffective to issue, with finality, the judgement of death. It is not the man who in broad daylight, who murders for his own desire and want, that is the point. It is the person, who is lower classed, who has a police record, who is being blamed, who may be innocent still, who has his country, his would be protectors, dismiss him eternally. I do not want for government to become invested in the easy method of cutting men down.

What I disagree with is the picture that some causal political arguments made by employees resulted in a firing. Bahamians sometime believe they have special rights in government jobs because it is such a tedious process to remove someone incompetent from positions not key to overall management. Since we don't have factual information, I can only imagine the argumentative nature of the politically charged employees feeling entitled to express political protest of dissent in their capacity of their job. If someone disagrees with management, and then when management with support of the owners (those charged with governance) asks them to behave appropriately, they don't get to continue because it's government. The complacency of our people has become rampant with entitlement and it's disgusting. You don't get the politically get your job back because you believed you could go against your managers and be fine. They don't want justice, they want to get the money they feel entitled to. Allow other people with relatable experience the opportunity.

I agree, this article seems to be biased and focusing on obviously poorly based information. What journalistic integrity would allow someone to say "People" are talking about increased costs and cite random "Name Changed" people as some fair sampling of the people.

Probably one of the first educated posts I've seen on here. Usually all I see are ignorant rants about what people want for themselves not for the big picture of the people. +1

Seems like a fair criticism if you minus the political grand standing. Overall a good caution in the diversification of FDI. The prospect of FDI turned into political leverage by State owned companies has been an issue globally. Some regulations requiring years of holding money in local banks before remittance and such. Not sure how that worked for Russia but I think the conversation should be had.

Pastor blames secular education and science (evolution) for rape. Well, hello fox news.

Another example of ignorance given a voice. I'm saddened by people like "Beehmian", who can be the loudest voices for change when they have not even taken a look at what it is they want to change.

Professional indemnity insurance is standard practice for certain levels of management and professionals.

Or rather, their sense of human rights is reasonable. In matters of the international public eye, we have received relatively negative reports based on purported mistreatments of persons held at the detention centre. It would then, seem prudent to make sure, at least in part for media purposes that we are giving the appearance of safely and humanely handling such individuals. And national pride is the same pride of prejudice and hate that is borne of racist groups and caste based groups. So I find national pride disgusting because it is the fuel of hate and has no purpose beyond manipulating the populace.

You are the worst kind of person. Ignorant and proud of it.
