National shame only to those outside The Bahamas. Par for the course here, day in and day out.

More ignorance without addressing the issues. Go away 7bananas

"We"? How many weeks a year do you visit from Canada?

The smartest ones are telling us we need to change our ways. You are likely on the public relations payroll of BPC. I just argue with you because it is so easy to do. Clearly, you have not done your homework. I hope you are not a BPC director or manager. That wouldn't bode well for the company.

Don't argue with me. I am nobody. Argue over the facts I present. I want to hear your educated critique of the statements made by BNT, the Secretary General of the UN, the letter from members of the US Congress. All you can do is call me hysterical. You are a mental lightweight snake oil salesboy. And, no response to divulging your identity if I do. Why would you hesitate? I have an idea.

Got it all wrong oil boy. Never met Mr. Smith. Happy we're on the same side though. I spend countless hours helping and fighting for my Bahamian brothers and sisters. And you? Your imput to Bahamian civil society? Communist? Try some more big words, big boy. The more you write, the more evident it becomes your arguing with me is above your pay grade. You have no interest in The Bahamas besides drilling for oil. Your arguments and accusations are stale, outdated and childish.

Meaning what? That you think I don't believe money changed hands between BPC and our elected officials? Persuasion is what you are confusing with political interference. I speak out here to persuade. If I were to pay, for instance, a government lawyer to say, "there is no getting out of the agreement to drill for oil", that would be political interference. The members of the US Congress have every right to address their concerns as they did. It seems you are unable to grasp the difference.

Were we to agree that driving is a privilege, not a right, and begin to revoke the drivers license of the chronic speeders and careless drivers, we would see immediate improvement. Handing out flyers telling people to abide by the law, is likely a waste of time and paper. Why are we always dancing around the issues, wondering why things are getting worse?

dr. minnis, you assumed the power to shut this country down. now, shut down this major threat to the bahamas. your job should depend upon it. actually, in my mind, your freedom should depend upon it. allowing this drilling to move forward is a criminal act.
prime minister minnis, do the right thing for the bahamas. stop the drilling immediately.

And another stupid liberal organization...........

In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

The industrial activities that our modern civilization depends upon have raised atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from 280 parts per million to 414 parts per million in the last 150 years. The panel also concluded there's a better than 95 percent probability that human-produced greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have caused much of the observed increase in Earth's temperatures over the past 50 years.
