Even if Obama leads the party in the next election they can't win. KML...I like that one!

Cobalt, BahamianAway, I don't have a problem being called a hypocrite or an idiot. You are entitled to infer whatever you like based on my dialogues. The fact is I know the true me. Cobalt, I don't know this family from a can of paint. I am looking at this thing objectively. I am guessing you are upset because I called you a “bible thumper”, lol.. sorry no mean to laugh. For this I apologize. Like you, I don’t mean to come across rude either. But the bigger picture is that you, BahamianAway and I are all on the same page (no pun intended) mainly because we care enough to even bother talking about these issues in the Bahamas and this is what this forum is all about. Going forward, I think we need to express our opinions or feelings or whatever without lambasting each other whenever there is disagreement.

@Cobalt-
Good to know bible thumper. But you are obviously not the brightest bulb in the chandelier are you? I merely quoted biblical verses to prove to you that anyone can do that. I never said you were a pastor, I simply pointed out that you should save ya preaching for those who attend ya church;meaning your fellow members. When I used the word “preach”, I used it to describe someone who is quick to point out the faults of others without examining himself. "No one writes a blog and goes "omgosh, I hope that Emac respects my opinion." The funny thing is if that's not what is important to you, why are you even responding???

The national music of the Bahamas is Goombay. Promote the Goombay Festival to the world. The real Goombay Summer Festivals (not the Junkanoo in June) had all of the splendors and ingredients to be marketed to the world. Junkanoo is not really unique to the Bahamas. A lot of the other Caribbean islands celebrated Junkanoo sometime or another, including North Carolina. Junkanoo is really a festival based on past traditions of our African heritage, when they used to celebrate the holidays (time off from slavery) with costumes, dance and music. As such, it should be kept it that context; A celebrative festival for Boxing Day and New Year’s.

By the way, cobolt the bible thumper. Whenever I present my point of view, emotion is hardly ever in the mix. I would think that the person who goes around quoting unnecessary biblical verses is the emotional one. So what??? I guess you were led by the holy spirit ay? Talk bout being emotional. Sigh...

@Cobalt-"Listen.... "The sins of the father, falls on the children." Thus says The Lord." Don't come with this holier than thou bullshit. I could respect people's opinions, but when you start to quote biblical verses to support your argument then the red flags go up immediately. The biggest culprits are always the ones who go around talkin bout the Lord says this and the Lord says that. Save your preaching for the morons who attend your church. By the way, anyone can quote biblical scriptures. It means nothing.
John 8:7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Matthew 7:1- "Do not judge, or you too will be judged”

Romans 2:1- You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Ephesian 4:29-Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Mathew 7:5- You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

James 1:26-If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

See, I can go on and on and on…

Yeah I know but in situations like these it is best to follow the old adage, “If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all”

Say what yinna may, but LBT is certainly ahead in the poll. Even though these types of opinion polls are only a snapshot of public opinion at the particular moment in time, they can help us determine what would be the likely outcome. On the other hand, Bahamians are so full of shit when it comes to truth that ya really can’t rely on their words. They will participate in one rally with dey yella shirts , eat the food and take the gifts then move on to the next rally wearing dey red shirts talkin’ bout, “ das da party I gon wote for.” But at the end of the day when they go inside that booth to mark that X , only God himself knows who they will choose. Anyone will be a fool to try and call an election in the Bahamas based on the crowd size that attend these rallies (even if it is a hologram effect).

“more than likely his death was related to who his parents were”. This is a very callous and reckless statement given the grief this family is going through right now. Even further, I don’t think it is fair to make these kinds of assumptions based on the lifestyles of the parent. We do not know what the situation is so why prejudge?
