Thank God they are slapping. If we push this to the extreme then officers will also go to the extreme to protect themselves. The officers could shoot people instead. Claiming they were assaulted and feared for their lives; happens in other countries. Granted some officers are arrogant and corrupt but some are just trying to achieve law and order for our safety. They are just like us trying to do a job to pay their bills and get home safe. Slapping is a relatively benign act to punish someone who thinks it's acceptable to physically contact an officer.
What happened to the Bahamian Christian Council? They used to stop certain movies and concerts from playing in the Bahamas. Why not stop gambling? The family islands have been devastated by this industry; siphoning the little money circulating in their local economies.
Agreed. Instead of a % of the profits all proceeds should go to the government to fund social assistance programs. The USA and Canada does this. This industry takes the little money people have by selling dreams. Once the gambler is out of money they're a burden on the government and society. This sort of gambling preys on the desperate and unintelligent.
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?
