@ Groidal...Do you need a ride to the airport ... since you don't seem at all happy here...I know some jet operators that will be happy to take you there ..by sea.. Turn your TV to a local Florida station and see how many shootings and incidents of crime and other violence happen on Miami beaches, almost daily and some that end up in murder. When last you heard of an incident involving jet ski operators? And there was only one allegation of rape this year among 6 million tourists. Maybe it is the virility of the male jet ski operator you grudge.

A very prominent pastor gave a lecture on women coming to church improperly dressed. He said he instructed his ushers to keep blankets and shoals handy. And any woman coming into the church with too much of her body exposed, either above the waist or above the knees, was offered a shoal or a blanket depending on which part of her body was exposed too much. Not only that, but the pastor also instructed the ushers not to seat these distracting worshipers at the front of the church but further to the back. So the pastor said one day after service he was approached by a lady who was offended by not only being given a blanket to cover her legs but also by the fact that she had been seated near the back of the church. She lashed out at the pastor and said it was cruel and unusual punishment. So the pastor in his usual way responded to the complaint. "lady I come up in this pulpit to preach the word. And since the word is not between your legs, I don't need to be looking up in there when i am preaching the word. That's why the ushers covered you Second thing, there are some who came in here to hear the word (of God) and they don't need to be distracted by you. And finally we did not ask you to leave the church but we seated you closer to the door. That makes it easier for you to decide to follow our rules or leave the church"

So you grew up learning from a bible and still cannot write English to a point that it is not annoying to even try to comprehend what you are trying to say? smt!

What did Tal say..what did Tal say..sounds like geek to me!

And why did not fred mitchell address the portion of the lawsuit that claims that many Chinese workers were working on the BahMar project without proper documents (work permits). And that some workers employed and imported to work at Bah Mar were transferred to the Pointe project without proper documentation and permission from The Department of Immigration. And also Fred Mitchell was the Minister of Immigration during most of the construction phase of Bah Mar. He was responsible for granting permits to thousands of Chinese construction workers and other nationals employed at bah mar. Thousands of permits. Did Fred Mitchell get any money under the table? Even just a lil bit of campaign money? Who financed the swimming pool complex he constructed in his constituency just prior to being soundly rejected be the people of Fox Hill?

In the main time Amazon is about to hit the 1/2 million mark with employees. Walmart is the only company in the US that has over 1/2 million employees. And Apple is facing multiple class action lawsuits after it admits to slowing down older I Phones. Criminal charges against Apple can result in a 2 year jail sentence and hefty fines.

Sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of young Aidan. Death is never easy.

Can Fred Mitchell answer a few questions:

1. Would he walk away from an investment where he has invested over $900 million when he
has strong evidence that not only did the contractor intentionally stall the project, but diverted money from the project to fund his own (similar) project?
2. Did Sarkis Izmililian not call out to the Christie led PLP government, not just once but from early in the project and say he was being hoodwinked and bambozzled by the contractor? And didn't Prime Minister, Perry Christie respond and say, "the man (Izmirilian) is losing his head?
3. Would it be the right and fair thing to do to allow Izmirilian to have his day in court and bring closure to this strange and eventful saga. To clear the names and reputations of those who stand innocent with clean hands and have done no wrong?
4. Isn't it correct that when Izmirilain tried to seek relief for his greviences against CCA and China ExIM bank in the first instance, the Christie led PLP government interfered with the process and through ignorance and their anxious desire to get the project up and running, publicly sided with the Chinese taking away his only access to a lifeline and chances to have his side heard by an independent court in New Jersey.
5. While Mitchel claims Izmirilian is being vindictive, wouldnt it be the right thing to get all the information out, especially to international investors and clear the idea that "the Bahamas government is a bunch or priates who lure investors to the coutry and fleece them and/or assist others in robbing them of their investment?
6.

And if you review the case with Atlantis, Sol Kerzner lost Atlantis to settle a debt on properties located in Dubai, not the Bahamas. The Bahamas Atlantis was always profitable and always solvent.

One of the most obvious reasons that Sarkis Izmirlian did not name any Bahamian or The Bahamas Government as party to his lawsuit is to avoid even the most chance of his lawsuit being referred back to Bahamian courts. The Bahamas certainly does not have the personnel or other assets to deal with this lawsuit effectively or efficiently. But when it comes down to the penalty phase or seeking relief the US courts have the powers to reach out internationally and request that the assets of a company be seized. Unless, of course, the offending company has specific protection of their assets in that country, or the country itself has a specific law protecting the assets of a company operating in that country or does not have an agreement with the US or other countries that facilitate the seizure of assets. But in the case of fraud as is the premise on which this case is built, the plaintiff also has the right to look to the parent company China Construction and Engineering for relief if CCA fails to satisfy the judgment of the courts. Remember American law is based on precedents, unlike British Common Law and so the judge will have to review cases prior to BML Properties vs China Construction America before making his ruling.
