The point is that if you want to eat fast food, be my guest,. Just don't ask me to pay for your hospital and doctors bills.

Pay an extra 10% or 20% on your fast food bill so that you have already made a contribution to the ill health caused by your fast food habits.

You pay high tax on cigarettes so why not pay some tax on fast food, neither is good for your health.

I agree with a Fast Food Tax.

If people want to eat foods that make them sick that is there right as long as they pay the bill for thier ill health later on.

They will show up at the PMH with high blood pressure, heart attack, cancer, diabetes 2. Obesity is the number two or three cause of cancer in many countries.

Fast food is the leading cause of obesity in many countries and, as we have been reported to be the sixth fattest country in the world, it would seem that fast food is playing its part here.

Other countries are introducing taxes because their national health programs can't keep up with all the cost of the sickness caused by obesity.

So yes, tax the fast food 10% or 20% extra and put it into the National Health system.

NEMA is a total shambles. They need to employ some people who are trained for this, not a bunch of political cronies.

The bank went through several auditors and attorneys. You would have thought that the Central Bank would have been a little curious and done an investigation long before thew money was taken out.

The Central Bank is useless, they need to fire all the staff and get some people, foreign or otherwise, in to run it properly.

The Humane Society is there to protect animals, that what it was formed for and that is what it is doing.

John and Sheeprunner, many have donated to Crime Stoppers as well. That organization has helped bring many a criminal to justice.

***".....the decision to permit or deny entry in The Bahamas rests with the executive and not the judiciary."***

In other words, the PLP believes in a dictatorship ruled by the elite. Not to be questioned.

Maybe that is why they never made any of the reports that they said they would make public as they felt that the man in the street was nothing.

These taxi drivers still think we are in the 1950's and 1960's when it comes to the transportation of hotel guests and tourists.

Finally someone has had the courage to call immigration out.

Ever wonder why a particular Swiss Bank pulled out after their manager was messed around with by immigration, an immigration performing an act not supported by law?

For years immigration officers have been swaggering around abusing and exceeding their authority.

I agree, Justice Isaacs has always been a very level headed judge.

Any progress is stopped by the likes of the Permanent Secretaries. They are doing everything they can to keep the system as it is. Slow and outdated.

Hey, maybe it is all they are capable of understanding,
