Wow! saying stuff like this should have you disqualified from adult discussions.
I don't believe anyone in The Bahamas would EVER do anything wrong.
Especially never any police, or politicians, or gang members, or pastors..............

Slowing the hell down, helps too.

Peter,
I don't kn ow where to begin with your article full of ignorance and lies.
This genocide has been going on for nearly 2 years.
Britain is complicit, and a willing accomplice.
Your read of history is poor, and slanted with the sick imperial viewpoint that has brought Britain to its knees, and rightfully so.
Britain gave Palestine to the jews. It was not theirs to give.
The history, by honest historians, is very clear on this.
You call the genocide being committed as, "excesses by Israel."
You sick fukker.
You further stated that, "between the Jewish and Arab people."
Do you not realize that jews are members of a religion, and not a race?
Are you a fool that you would conflate a religion to a nationality?
Have Israelis and Jews take a DNA test. Simple. That's why DNA test are illegal in Israel.
Because they have no roots in Palestine. NONE.
To read the nonsense you have printed out here, in a country where the literacy rate guarantees that there will be little push back to your meanly- mouthed garbage coming out of your soft little head.
Not only are you a sick pup, you are obviously untutored in honesty and history.
The Brits have managed to poison the world and now its time has come.
How's it looking over there in your lovely country? All problems due to the Muslim immigrants, yes?
Your country is presently arresting old people for holding a sign that says they don't support genocide.
When did Britain abandon free speech? Have you said a word about it?
It was difficult to read the outrageously many lies, untruths and total misunderstanding of historical facts.
Did you see the high honers students calling out BBC for its complicity in a genocide?
Probably not.
Without doubt Mr. Young, you are one of the most ill-informed, dishonest and full of shit commentators in this paper.
Absolutely sickening.

Imagine being able to get up in front of people, keep a straight face and say the things that were said.
Every person up there either knows, or is involved with, the activities that brought these guns to the country and to our streets.
Holy Shit. Can it get any more fricking absurd?
Part of the Bahamas law enforcement team, at the top, are in jail in the states for this very crime.
It is all for show. and these chumps, ALL of them, are paid actors. Not very good ones, but actors.
The truth is completely foreign to all these actors.
We are living in an insane asylum.

Bahamian law enforcement personnel have lost ALL credibility.
Especially the sleeze at the top.
Too busy covering their own butts to be concerned with the People.

We can sure pick our "leaders", hey?

Maternity leave is essential to a humane and intelligent society.
What must be also supported, in the same stroke of the pen, is education for the young girls,most who are having children before they have learned, lived and matured.
While we can provide monetary assistance to mothers, what are the goals in producing decent adults?
Is there any discussion on reducing teen pregnancies?
How about the unlivable minimum wage?
How about child care?
How about incentives to get decent parents to stay in The Bahamas, instead of leaving for better opportunities elsewhere?
This isn't a one-off.
Is there not enough proof that we as a country are failing to produce decent citizens.
What is this article all about?
We keep nipping at the edges expecting things to change for the better.

Until The Bahamas is able to understand and speak the truth, nothing can change.
Our words are empty, with no relationship to reality.
This is from the very top, where words are only weapons in a court room, to the mother in the corner house.
We do not value the truth, even when it is staring us in the face.

BTC has failed The Bahamas.
No question about it.
They should be investigated for fraud.
They have screwed the Bahamian people for far too long.
They will be put out of business soon, but perhaps not soon enough

"The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in an August 8, 2005, working paper highlighting the gap between the region’s growth and productivity potential, and what exists today, argued that The Bahamas and its regional counterparts are being held back by over-regulation, “the presence of state-owned enterprises” and other inefficiencies that undermine their competitiveness."
Amazing that all of these blatant lies are printed in our national papers.
What is the problem with state-owned enterprises? That the profits benefit The People, instead of being stuffed into one man's pocket?
State-owned enterprises can be run by the same educated, qualified, and non-political managers, if given the chance. We prefer to put ignorant politicians in charge of our enterprises. We see this daily. What could an MP, with no real education or technical qualifications bring to a corporation such as Water & Sewerage, for instance?
And, we wonder why our country is literally circling the drain.
We just can't figure it out, can we?.
The IMF is a real blister on the butts of developing nations.
Especially those nations who have already borrowed too much and their politicians are greedy and corrupt, and want to stay in office.
The Bahamas will never be "better" by associating with the IMF.
That is why many countries, with intelligent and moral leaders are exiting their relationships with this debt-based organization.
They are not here to help The Bahamas. Let's be clear and be honest.
Once we begin to elect real leaders, if we can find them, things may improve.
Currently, with the gang of politicians we presently have in this country, nothing can improve.
Hell, we can't even know the name of the high offical actively screwing us over from their PLP offices.
Let's get real.
