And therein is the problem: unlike wild animals, we were given the gift of free will. This includes instructions on how to interact with each other. However, disregarding these instructions, such as telling someone to "put your bible down," has led to confusion and a departure from our natural state. This has led to the rise of deviant inventions, which are now called relationships, causing issues in global society.

Rex is correct; women in bad marriages expect the courts to settle their failed marriages in their favour while asking the government to arm them with the 'marital rape spiteful gun.' Women in the Bahamas are much too venomous liars and poorly reared to be wives in the first place.

It is important to hold any government officials accountable if they betray the trust of the Bahamian people. They must be exposed and held responsible for their actions. If any damages were incurred, they should be required to repay them or serve time in prison for their breach of trust.

In line with this, I agree with the recent statement from the US State Department. They accused the Government of stalling the implementation of anti-corruption legislation that promotes transparency and good governance, including the Freedom of Information Act. This is a concerning issue that needs to be addressed to maintain the people's trust in their government.

Finding a courageous legal team to fight against the corrupt and intimidating system in The Bahamas might be a challenge. However, it is a cause that I wholeheartedly endorse.

A significant and concerning issue lies in the burden placed on Bahamian taxpayers who are shouldering the costs of an expansive employment warehouse filled with unproductive and unqualified individuals. These individuals seem to be stuck in dead-end positions, benefiting from 'Government Employment' for over 30 years, complete with pensions, but with not even a trace of accomplishment to show for their time in these roles. Unfortunately, this system has allowed thousands of politically connected individuals to secure positions, serving as a supposed solution to unemployment, but, in reality, most of them are unfit for productive work, all at the expense of hardworking taxpayers. This costly mistake has been ongoing for the past 50 years and has cost the Bahamian people billions.

The situation becomes even more disheartening when one considers that these individuals fail to offer any tangible value or service to the public and demand tips for their services when their counterparts in government services provide the same service without such extra costs.

Addressing this issue is crucial to create a more efficient, productive, and fair system for the Bahamian taxpayers. Redirecting resources towards competent and qualified individuals, promoting merit-based employment, and ensuring public servants genuinely contribute to the betterment of society are essential steps in rectifying this costly and long-standing problem. Only by making these necessary changes can the Bahamian citizens be relieved from the burden of funding unproductive and unqualified individuals and pave the way for a more prosperous and accountable future.

#20 years too late ...

Unfortunately, Bahamians are being mistreated (as second-class) in their own country and left to feel that they are here to clean up after others who are given preferential treatment. It would be unwise for Bahamians to support Shake Shack. Furthermore, this statement adds salt to the insult “Shake Shack Atlantis... Guests will enjoy Shake Shack’s classic menu items.

> "Flavours and customs of The Bahamas,”

If there is discrimination against Bahamians, at any time and for any reason, then it is inappropriate to associate the word "Bahamian" with a 'Shake Shack' location.

#ShakeShack's (Atlantis) discrimination against Bahamians is not welcome.

The Bahamas has been grappling with concerns over reports of police-involved killings and allegations of abuse. These allegations, if proven true, would seriously violate human rights and undermine the principles of justice and the rule of law. The mistreatment of individuals who are in custody is a clear contravention of internationally recognized human rights standards. As a result, the international community, including highly respected organizations such as the United Nations and human rights groups, would likely demand an impartial investigation into these allegations.

It is crucial for authorities to ensure accountability and provide appropriate remedies to the victims of such mistreatment. The current situation in The Bahamas is not conducive to a safe coexistence between the community and those who the state may abuse. To prevent further escalation, it is essential to adopt de-escalation measures before the abusers and families of victims retaliate in such a volatile environment, where tensions are high and emotions are running strong.

"A spouse accused of spousal rape" is, in fact, the end of that marriage, isn't it?

The 'Marital rape' debate encompasses a range of perspectives and agendas, which has sparked controversy surrounding the marital bed and the definition of 'marriage' within the context of a union between a man and a woman. Traditionally, the idea of becoming one in marriage was understood as implicit consent. However, as our understanding of consent has evolved, we are now being informed that sexual relations with one's wife involve a nuanced negotiation process. It is now considered illegal or inappropriate to engage in sexual activity with one's wife without seeking her explicit consent in the marital relationship. This new perspective challenges the previous notion of what we simply understood as 'marriage.'
