Excellent comment strachan.
Really shows brilliance of thought.

URCA is useless and should be disbanded.
Cable had plenty of time to get with the program.
We need smart leaders and a productive work force.
Anyone see the problem?
Do we have either?
Our leaders are politically appointed, not smart.
Our work force is unable to rise to the occasion, because we have not demanded it.
We are slack.
We will continue to cry as the rest of the world out competes us.
Sad, but true.

Excellent comments.
I am on the side of Island Warrior's arguments. Not all, but most.
However, if someone was intent on ruling by Divide and Conquer, who is winning?
We are here fighting amongst our Bahamian selves.
And, we are not winning. Are we?
Do we not understand that these are all multi-million dollar loans?
What is a loan?
While we are here arguing, our children will be strapped with these odious debts.
And, they are piling up like nobody's business.
The options available to a small country, heavily in debt, unable to pay their loans, are few.
The Bahamas, the Bahamian People will suffer severely as these debts pile up, and the "leaders" who approved them are off to whereever they bought property and opened bank accounts, using the Bahamian people's money to do so.
I am certain that this PLP administration is laughing right now, as the heat is off them for a few minutes.
The US and China pale in comparison to the dirty activities by our own "leaders".
Yes, or no?
We can whine all day about the very real crimes of other countries.
But, how are we doing here, for our own people?
Do Bahamians have their heads so deeply in the sand that they cannot see that it is our own people who are taking this country down?
All these big projects are there to give huge kickbacks to those involved, and to buy votes for the upcoming election.
Who doubts this?
I do not blame China, Britain, or the US for the selling out of The Bahamas.
I blame a largely ignorant Bahamian populace, untutored, selfish and without vision, who continue to vote for the most reckless, dishonest, and incompetent people they can find to elect to office.
No foreign country can match the damage we have done to ourselves.

I agree.
How, after watching the shitstorm in the US government could any sentient being support trump.
He is truly disgusting.
Anyone supporting him needs a psychological evaluation

Hey birdie,
Have you ever been to the US?
Have you ever been to school?
It seems as if you are just here to drag down the conversation to an idiot's level.
We already know you are toxic to any reasonable conversation.
birdie, how many millions came from The Bahamas to help those in need in Florida after any hurricane?
How much came from the American people to help Bahamians after Dorian?
Should we charge the hundreds of boats coming from the US with hurricane relief supplies for poor Bahamians with the cruising fees?
You probably think so.
Are you just racist? Or, just mean and angry and retarded?

Absolutely agreed.
Taking the Bahamian mind down a notch, each time he/she writes.

And your point, birdie.
Talking shite again.

Yup. Exactly right.

Leadership, as well as parenting, is also critical to the success of a society.
Without doubt, up to now, Bahamian "leadership" has totally failed The People.
This is unquestionable.
Until we are able and educated enough to elect honest and morally upright leaders, nothing can, or will, change.
This administration is concerned with enriching themselves at the expense of The People.
If we really want change, we must begin to recognize, support and elect good leaders.
Currently, there are very few in sight. None in this administration.

"We have to stop giving respect and hero worship to people who gain uber wealth through illegal activity. This includes illegal gaming. And MPs need to stop associating with them, using them in election campaigns to amass votes and as election financiers knowing the source of the funds."

Exactly right!
