Bahamian women are second class citizens and have fewer rights. That is the way they like it, just look at how they voted in the last referendum.

Had they voted for the change they would be equal. Many men voted for the change, so it would have carried, if the majority of women had voted for it.

Go figure.

His only claim to fame is having been the WORST Prime Minister this country has ever had.

Don't think he understands the accounts. Sounds like his business acumen is handicapped.

John, I have the details of similar situations that juju is speaking to. They are not Haitan either. Denied, files lost, etc.
The whole situation is disgraceful.
It is not just the US that looks at us as a backward nation.
I really think that by deliberatly holding women back that we are hurting the Country as a whole.

Well said. Right on target. No real economic benefit to Bahamians.

This outdated and ignorante attitude is a good part of why the economy is doing so badly. Massaive brain drain. I also have children who, though they love their country, have decided to work in countries where smart deicent people are wanted and apprciated.

The Minister is clearly afraid that the public might not see things the way the government does.

If the government has a clear, honest and legitamate claim, then what do they have to fear by releasing the report?

If evrything is so cut and dry, it will not affect the outcome.

So, you are only concerened about tourists lives, don't care about Bahamians.

My point is about the crime in our country and our need to fix it.

You duckin dealing with the problem.
Tal talking about education and that is correct. We have to get a handle on this.

Google the murder rates in other countries. E.G., the UK had 602 murders for aproxmately 60 million people. That's 1 murder per 100,000. At that rate we should have had just 4 murders last year.

Of course our murders are front page news. We have one of the highest murder rates in the world.

We need to be looking at the causes such as educaton, lack of parents taking responsibilty for raising their children, lack of job opportunities etc.

Great idea! BUT
That would require us to get together. Requires considerable capital.
We complain about foreigners who compete with us, but they can because they get together.
We spend our time crying poor mouth and pulling anyone down who tries to get ahead.
Makes one wonder what the true definition of being Bahamian is.
