"Dr Minnis also called for political unity, telling Bahamians it was not time for red or yellow flags but to work together as Bahamians." - **this should have been the heralded message from 11th of may 2017.**

**i declare shame on the leaders of the bahamas for calling for unity only now in the time of tragedy. their approach is immorally hypocritical and may not serve to be productive even now in this hour of need.** -

**what then??? afterwards you all will go back to ostracizing, alienating and persecuting persons once the storm has passed and needs are pacified?**

**furthermore, i take this movement to draw much needed attention to the plight and neglect of the family islands, in particularly, north-end long island. the intelligence behind this storm has speared us for a blessed reason. we were always and are still neglected while the government give priority and attention to those islands that are now affected.**

That's right Joeblow... it signifies the magnitude of our social and cultural problems.

"Health Minister Dr Duane Sands said yesterday, noting that more than 70 percent of the population is overweight."

"“Our eating habits, beverage and lifestyle choices continue to keep us ranked as one of the heaviest and unhealthiest nations.”"

"60 percent of us add two or more spoons of sugar to our tea and coffee; 32 percent of us eat ‘sweets’ three or more times per week; and 92 percent of Bahamians drink one to three cans of a sugary beverage every single day."

"Dr Sands noted this “propensity for sweet” is not matched by the nation’s daily water intake nor fruit and vegetable intake."

**all of the above quotes confirms and speaks to the extreme unhappiness and discontent of the citizens of, what suppose to be, the *commonwealth* of the bahamas.**

**sugary sweets, foods and beverages serves as a comfort food for unhappy people.**

You cannot give what you do have: moral leadership.

I hear that medicine has advanced so that one can get a heart transplant. I think these doctors should be recipients as such... literally and figuratively.

...and all ideas that educate and would be beneficial to the advancement of the children must originate from the Union members. Otherwise, not to be taught in public schools.

yes... of course!... and let them have first preference to all of the blessings of God; and furthermore, the Lord should answer only their (Doctors) prayers

what a generation of doctors this is heh?

i thank god to be alive still. i am living in this time and i am amazed still as to what these ***paper qualified persons*** (doctors) think they deserve above the general public.

How come the fools are always to the front of the debates and offering solutions to the Countries problems? Don't they have another profession other than 'bullshitting the public for political support'?

**this should be oppose by all citizens of the bahamas and by all persons at all levels.**

**our environment is our second greatest resource and should be protected unconditionally with no regard for monetary gain.**

**this despicable act should be stopped!!!!!**

John... now you are the fumbass for saying... "Punishment more severe than life imprisonment... They too, need to be executed as that is the only thing that will stop these type killings."

just as you can seek a punishment that outweighs or strike fear, we can alternatively ***seek out incentives and activities to preoccupy the energies of the youths***. This was a critical social strategy of the Roman Empire.
