Our democracy has failed and it's up to the common people to fight for our freedom and democracy again. We voted NO to legalization of gambling and they allowed it anyway. This added fuel to the rapid decline of Bahamian society. The family islands were hit hard by gambling the little money that would usually circulate within the islands economy is being siphoned out as people gamble for hope out of their situation.
What a joke; we could use more criticism. Hiding behind pride and feelings doesn't promote progress. We should be in a position to produce evidence of our competence and if we can't then present a plan to improve. More training, accountability and improve work ethic. Most importantly separate Government from business. We have a problem where politics (who you know) gets you a job not the attributes needed for the job.
Ridiculous! We received an independent country. This is different than USA whose black people live in a country where wealth distribution and power favors the descendants of slavers.
What a shame. This talk of race is foolish; we aren't USA. A Bahamian is a Bahamian we shouldn't let this propaganda divide our small community. Our population is less than half a million in a world of 7.5 billion. We need to be united. Remember the One Bahamas initiative.
Rupert Roberts is pushing his own agenda under the guise of protecting the Bahamian way of life. Speculating a VAT increase; which will distract most people onto his side. Wealthy Bahamians had an opportunity to help their country and look at the state we're in. The community country is dead and now everyone is for themselves. In this environment we need a free market so that wealth and success isn't hoarded by the same folks.
So what. I'm sure this teacher had the best intentions; disciplining them as she received in her childhood. Beating with a belt like this causes a bit of a stinging pain but nothing to injure anyone. As joeblow says, we need the full story to come to a conclusion. This article is biased; good (ethical) journalism presents facts from all sides in neutral way to inform the reader.
