Go catch the coke and crack peddlers, and leave the marijauna alone, these cops wasting their time. For every 1 load caught another 3-4 makes it in. I dare any police to go in albany, lyford cay, port new providence, or old fort bay and check them big yachts with all the coke and unlicensed fire arms.

Well I must tell you that you are partially correct, the main reason for their protests is because of the signage of the government to ally with Russia by their prime minister, when the people have expressed and fought for years to ally with the EU. My point was that these people (Bahamians) are too lazy to protest in anger and outrage. The government has failed us, why not protest. I wasnt talking about comparing governments, I was talking about 'strength in numbers'

It wasnt only social media, it was also protests that eventually turned violent. Bahamians too lazy to make that kind of change.

Not only that, majority of persons dont believe in our justice system any more. Not because of Bail, Bail should be an option for anyone who is innocent until proven guilty, but at the same time the courts just take too long handling cases. Some people just know who did what to who ever and decide to end it quickly. Why are persons just appearing in court 5 years after a crime. This is nothing new under our Bahamian Sun.

Yup, hopefully 2017 will be that last chance at government for the PLP I pray. Majority of Bahamians are living like modern day slaves. Who knows how many more will commit suicide. Life is only getting harder for the unfortunate and middle class, soon there will be little to no middle class.

There is no positive change for an already corrupted government. Sounds like protest sign ups need to happen. We have voiced in peace, we have tried everything in peace but this is getting no where. Maybe we need to be like the protesters in Egypt and the current Ukraine to get what we need done. I know for sure that they aint ready for that. The Burma Road Riot was the last known of strength in numbers for Bahamians.

Isnt it obvious that petitions and everything the public cries out for never happens. I dont care how much you try to fool me by having referendums and petitions, the governemnt does not adhere to the results. One of the examples of how they fixed the gambling referendum questions that either a YES or NO vote still would have let the businesses operate. To change the problem you have to get rid of the politicians. Bahamians too dumb to realize that these politicians dont care about us because they are the only qualified persons that really exist and want to participate in politics. Time and time again the people speak but they dont listen. The main concerns should be finding funds for education grants that can at least get the unfortunate started in college, so they can experience some success and opportunity at education instead of giving up and settling for less because they are poor . Everyone does not get a fair chance at anything in this country. There is no Freedom of Information and there is no Equal Oppotunity: The two main things that the country needs so the people can know whats going on, find out how to make a difference and at least have chance to make that difference. The fact that we pay attention to this and not education is the reason why we cant rise, because nobody has the 'paper or degree' to have their concerns validated. So, foreigners and rich cronies will continue to have their control of the country, just look at all the friends & family relations in government that stems down the line through our history, most of them come from rich or well paid families that are a result of cronism and the once aristocracy.

These persons are wasting their time. The government is not going to listen to a majority vote, they already said that this is still going forward cheapest you get ready for VAT, they aint trying nothing else. Our deficit is too high, PGC is too scared to do anything deemed necessary for this country, they rather tax and slave the poor to save their own pockets and make up for their ludicrous spending and high salaries. It would be completely ridiculous and shameful to impose VAT on the people before imposing a tax system on this numbers loop hole.

Thats why they play a blind eye to the Freedom of Information Act because it will expose too many of the government's dishonest and selfish dealings. They cannot push for the right thing, if none of them are doing right thing, thats why there is always a stall on obviously important decisions. That act right now will expose both FNM & PLP and many so called 'foreign' and 'lucrative' businesses as well as these scandalous financial institutions (BoB, coughh). It will allow the people to actually make 'good, decisive' decisions rather than buying and voting for some propaganda campaign that only tells us what we want to hear but doesnt show us any proof.

It only proves that we have politicians who are scared to do their actual jobs. Remember its about getting the vote not doing whats best.
