Oh really? Are you asserting that there will be a time when Haitians are not around? And when is that going to be? Never is when. John Pinder may be White but he is a Bahamian so he is right to speak of "ancestors". Black and White Bahamians share a recent common history and culture. Haitians on the other hand are not Bahamian, they don't speak English, they are different from White AND Black Bahamians culturally. Nationality should come before race, often doesn't but it should. Well I'd rather share an island with White Bahamians who I can understand and gel with culturally vs Haitians who I don't understand and practice witchcraft.

We can see that the common factor is that there are too many, yes? Maybe if there were less of them then people wouldn't complain so much. I'd rather have a diverse group of immigrants from all over the world settle here versus just a legion of Haitians invading the country and turning it into Haiti #2. They are flooding this country, and that is a problem because the Bahamas can't absorb them. Immigration should always be a controlled process, unchecked immigration is pure insanity, would you open the door to your home and let any stranger off the street come and live with you? Of course not, then why do you think a country is any different?

BTC has the worst customer service of any major company on this island. If you get some service from them you better hope nothing ever goes wrong with it. You'll be sitting for hours in their Mall location like you're in PMH.

On BTC mishaps?

We're already paying VAT. Why don't you go tax the gambling houses that are raking in millions of dollars from poor suckers everyday to make their bosses rich while producing nothing and contributing nothing to society? The people already voted no against gambling yet you legalized it anyway. You rewarded the criminals running these organizations to the detriment of the Bahamian Banking/Financial system. Now running on about soda and fat? Might as well ban 99% of restaurants on the island then cause it's pretty much mostly grease, sugar and salt being served everywhere.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to prevent Haitians from illegally staying in the Bahamas. Everyone knows who they are, everyone know where they live, when you go out on the streets they're speaking in their tongue. Destroy shanty towns, deport the inhabitants, give rewards for successful tips when reporting illegals to immigration, punish severely businesses and business owners that employ illegals, charge with treason those that create fake Bahamian government documents to give to Haitians. Problem solved. If the Dominican Republic can keep them out and they live right next to them then the Bahamas can too, if the politicians were serious about it.

I'd bet many of these politicians/wealthy Bahamians benefit from cheap illegal labor. Of course they don't care what happens to this country in the future from a flood of people that can't control their breeding habits. They'll just take their money and flee after it becomes Haiti #2.

When you have a gun? Depends. The police have their own lives to consider.

Why didn't anyone simply tell her to start asking for blood donations as soon as she got into the hospital, seeing as she had a rare blood type...it's little things like that which show if people care or not.

I remember when $300 per week was a lot of money. Blame the monetary system more than anything else. When unbacked currency is inflated like crazy by Central Bankers and politicians, leaving real wage growth lagging behind in the 1970s then suffering and poverty is guaranteed. Haven't seen anything yet, this world is headed for a lot of pain.
