He speaks and exudes that toxic ignorance that is not fair to generalize as the mentality of "bahamian men". But, these old heads continue to choose these specimens to represent and articulate on their behalf.

A fast system is important but order is to. If they just handed out the vouchers, money, goods, with no reference or data has to who received what then next month, year or whenever they would probably be accused of something else. Nonetheless, i hope they are able to accommodate and serve everyone faster in the days to come.

The best part is his supporters on social media arguing and berating everyone on social media who may have an opinion on the political optics and satire of this decision but a few weeks ago was running on about which fnm's were on vacation while the people lockdown. Lets not forget about their chairman.

Bahamas' economic outlook has been fucked up since early 2000 and has been crawling to this point

This actually has been a most interesting exchange. I agree with both jurists on some points, disagree with some points. An exchange of divergent opinions that does not disingrate into personal/political attacks is much needed - though if you read the full piece it seems like it was starting to go there. In my opinion A government should have lawyers giving them legal opinions on actions that may have constitutional implications, just how the private sector may consult a lawyer before they terminate ppl etc. However, i dont agree with the analogy with torture and inhumae treatment. I thought it part of the un human rights convention was that torture is never reasonable justifiable and illegal under intl law. Isnt it arguable whether something is inhumane and degrading treatment. For instance, activist have been arguing that the conditions is fox hill should be considered inhumane, that the conditions or practices at immigration detention centre are inhumane, that are immigration policies are inhumane, some ppl ageee some disagree. Reasonably justifiable in a democratic society seems where the debate is, that could be based on size, economics, resources, etc

At this point maybe they should just open it all up and who get covid get covid, cause these discussions are becoming circular. Everyone know the hospitals dont have the capacity to deal withit if lots of people got really sick but know one believes their behaviour has, may or will contribute to the outbreak of clusters.

Both maybe facts. The difference is you all get very agitated and personal about one proposition. We now see in the news the bars being raided, like i said on social media and whatsapp status' people are gathering and partying. Its not an insult or a scolding it is also a fact like your facts. I want to get back to an evening at the pub as well and dinners. But again, as i have always put forth we simply have to do it differently at this time. It seems like you are saying that because people did this before July they shouldnt have to stop now. That seems very combatitive and uncooperative, so you see the cases surging but because Minnis let you go to florida and come back your life shouldnt have to change. Thats kind of childish.

Well, if you have instagram or other social media, you would see lots of parties, particularly amongst younger crowds. Nonetheless, we understand your stance.

I love when yall pick and choose the parts of the article to take note of. The police shouldnt be there nor the private citizen. So when they raid the place, i hope yall advocate for the owner, police and the citizen to be fined and their porkchop dinner confiscated and given to a homeless person.

Hoda says...

I wonder if yall really read the world news or just pretend to. Everywhere, in fact everywhere that you all have used as examples to prove what we are doing wrong or should be doing, is experiencing second and third waves of outbreaks, whether it be after lockdowns or stringent immigration blocks - like new zealand. Why, because the citizens stop following the protocols, and cases will pop up unless you are prepared to lockdown the place until u force ppl to take vaccines, cases will pop up.
