Exactly; we may one day find ourselves migrating for survival. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

We are all from the Africa. We are all brothers and sisters. Treat each other with love, kindness and respect. What happened here was a tragedy. Abuse of power is a major issue in our country. We need honest and respectful leadership.

STOP selling our country to tourism. We have a saturated market already and it has turned our people into servants. Invest in industries that improves our countries independence and creates skilled jobs. We don't even produce enough food to feed our small population. Meanwhile countries are sending ships to our waters to feed theirs.

Why is a company interested in building a refinery in the Bahamas? I believe that it's a combination of low taxes, unsophisticated environmental rules and enforcement. Nygard completed dredging in New Providence before anyone noticed. What hope do we have of protecting our environment from a much more complicated and well financed operation on a family island?

We aren't extracting any crude oil in our country. So what else makes the Bahamas attractive for this business? They could argue that it's a strategic shipping location. However why not build a storage and shipping facility instead and refine the product elsewhere?

Misogyny is a problem in the Bahamas but this isn't the most appropriate example. The trend in the USA media is to take everything to the extreme for shock value. Lets not allow the same thing to happen to us. "Rape culture" is also mentioned; what is its relevance? Is the journalist implying the we have a 'rape culture' because I'm not aware of this. We have isolated instances of rape but I wouldn't go so far to proclaim it culture. Misogyny and inequality are certainly issues we need to address.

Thank you; we need more action like this.

This is a step in the right direction for our country. Women and Men both deserve fair pay and equal opportunity. This is not about Women vs Men this is about protecting our workers and improving our society. USA and Canada are continuously working on fair and equal opportunity and it has only improved the social environment.

What evidence do you have showing that the shark population is out of control and requires human intervention? Nature has done pretty well on its own.

If this is truly a viable approach then convert all government buildings to solar. Then mandate all commercial buildings to produce some percentage of their energy consumption via solar/renewable technology. When industry proves the technology then maybe the general public will adopt it as well. Renewable energy is great however it has yet to be proven that it is a financially wise decision and appropriate for the Bahamas. What happens when you start attaching these panels to your roof? How will they hold up in a hurricane? The average Bahamian doesn't have money to risk.

If she would risk her job and reputation over make up and a personal security system how else would she abuse public money?
