What's wrong with normalizing ties with Cuba? We have normal ties with Vietnam and China... both are communist countries just like Cuba. I am completely free to vacation in Vietnam and/or China -- but can't vacation in Cuba? Doesn't make any sense.
How does this man put on his pants and shoes each day? The comments he spoke lack of any education, lack rational thought, and are clearly illogical. How is he able to function each day without a brain? His thought process and comments are so insane, I actually thought he was kidding at first. Unfortunately, it appears he is being serious. My 12-year old daughter is smarter than this sorry excuse of a human being!!
Time out! I'm in no way advocating for a "irreligious Bahaman society." Instead, all I'm saying is that religion should be left out of governing. This is because not all Bahamans are church going or even Christian. There are many other religions in the Bahamans -- which is great! I'm 110% all for folks getting into religion and whatever religion they feel most connected to (e.g. Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, etc). The more the better. But leave it out of Governing the citizens. Religion and Politics should not mix -- from both sides.
There needs to be a "separation" because not all Bahaman citizens are Christians. Some might be atheist and some might be of other religions (e.g. Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, etc). Therefore, since the Government needs to govern citizens of vastly different beliefs -- all religions should be left out of legislature and governing. What are you afraid of? There can still be a Bill of Rights and a fair/equitable rule of Law without religion.
Being gay or lesbian is NOT a choice. I didn't "choose" to be heterosexual, it's just how my brain is wired. The same applies to someone that is gay. They didn't choose to be homosexual just like I didn't "choose" to be heterosexual. It is simply how your brain is wired. For example, there is NO way on Earth I could wake up tomorrow and "choose" to be gay. And the exact same would apply for a gay person. There is NO way on Earth they will wake up tomorrow and all the sudden "choose" to be heterosexual. It is simply NOT possible. God made me the way I am and God made them the way they are too. God loves all his children!!
Kuddos to Mr. Johnson! It is a breath of fresh air to see a politician being 100% open and honest -- especially with something as personal and sensitive as this topic. That is what true leadership looks like!!

What this "officer" did was plain and simple... murder. He needs to be arrested and charged with murder.

There definitely needs to be a full and complete "separation" of Church and State.
