@Greentea. I have been wanting to answer your reply to one of my comments in another column, where you implied that Bahamian men are using the excuse of voting NO to these bills ,because they are really against women achieving equal rights etc. Let me just say for the record that in principal I support ALL of the bills.
If the Bahamas was a mature country that enforced laws and punished corrupt officials, my votes would be YES to all four bills. However, I will be voting NO and not because of the popular arguments floating around, such as gay marriages, foreigners coming to take over the country and all that other BS. Realistically, this country is rotten to the core. Once we clean up corruption in government and the civil service, then I would gladly change my vote to YES. The sad thing is that the immigration department is a mess, this country is in a mess. I don't care what this government says, the PLP has proven over and over again that they will not do as they promise in regards to amending certain policies if these bills pass. For instance, let us look at the message the government is bringing to the people about amending policies to make it difficult for marriages of convenience to occur. What a laugh! Everyone knows that we thrive on corruption. There are tons of people out there who are waiting to take advantage of the system once the first three bills are passed,. I don't give a shite about what provisions the government say that they will put in place. There are many laws out there already that they don't respect. Why would enforcing the policies that exist with these bills be any different????
So you see, I truly believe that the Bahamas needs to move to the next level and that WOMEN should have the same rights as MEN. But not now. Not at the present state this country is in!!! helllll no!!! Let's clean up our act, then the people might appreciate the importance of voting YES to these four bills!!!
Sorry Mr. Ingraham, but there are no stateless Haitians in the Bahamas, at least not according to Haiti's constitution. So please stop the bullshit. And yes both political parties are guilty of political pandering regarding the many Haitian descendants born here. But if any Haitian child born of a Haitian parent want a passport, he or she can go to the Haitian Embassy to apply and get a passport without any hassle at all. So please stop using the word stateless. Now you're gonna have the apologetic people commenting here who will insist that these people were born here, that they know no other culture. Yet as soon as they are old enough to know right from wrong they exalt the Haitian flag above the Bahamian flag and look at Bahamians as the enemy. No....They should really be angry at their own parents who snuck into this country, and instead of their parents ceasing the opportunity to upgrade their living conditions from that of Haiti, they decided instead to have a dozen children and live in a small gad dam shack on somebody's land. Then they cry out saying how they are out casts of society. Sorry, no sympathy here... Get that BS outta here! It will be no no no no for me also!
Yea you would say that...But thanks for confirming the potential candicates that the PLP fears most as leaders of the FNM. You and the PLP would love for Minnis to stay on as leader, because you know that he if the ONE tool that the PLP gat that could cause them to win the next election. But God forbid. There would be a riot in this F%CK%ing country first!!!
Doesn't matter who she supports or how lack luster her show is perceived to be. Victimization is dead wrong and it should not be a part of the Bahamas' landscape in 2016!
This man dyes his hair as much as he lies to the public. Anyone who thinks he is improving his appearance by getting rid of his grey hair every week is certainly delusional and this same facade is certainly spilling over to his public life.
Sorry, but nothing special about Bannister. Just another pretentious minister who operated under the status quo, with nothing extra to offer. A good MP is seen and felt in his constituency. Bannister is invisible in Carmichael.
