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?

This Bahamian against Haitian talk is distracting us from the issue; there are Bahamian's struggling in shanty towns too aka the ghettos of the Bahamas. The issue is affordable housing and livable wages. Improving our economy, improving our work force training, improving the opportunities in our country should be the focus. Haitians come here in search of a better life; their goal is not to destroy but to build a better future. Most of our Caribbean black ancestors arrived here through the inhuman practice of slavery we are a small nation of ~350k while most modern city's alone have populations in the millions. We need to stop hating one another and realize we're all brothers an sisters who need to work together for a brighter future. Government is a reflection of the people not the savior; it's up to us to improve.

Without this program I wouldn't have been able to afford to get my University degree. Once I obtained my degree I prioritized paying off this loan and did so within 2 years. It was possible through strict budgeting; too often persons aren't willing to live a financially humble lifestyle to pay off the loan. Now my younger sister is trying to get a degree but without this loan the family is finding it very difficult to support her ambition. These persons need to be strictly punished and forced to pay. They are effectively stealing and preventing the youth from having this opportunity.

Why "black Bahamians"? All races of Bahamians suffer from irresponsible and reckless social and economic practices. We need better education and respectable conduct from our civil servants and government officials. The people need the leaders of the country to hold them to a higher standard and the children need respectable role models.

Disgusting Elliot. I am proud that this Officer stood his ground and did not succumb to Elliot's threat to abuse his power to punish the Officer.
