"Mr Turnquest said meeting the EU's 'economic substance' demands could ultimately generate greater economic benefits for the Bahamas"

????? Like what ?

The later paragraph which suggests that EU companies may establish a "substantial presence" here is just so funny and insane that even the infinitely brilliant Hatter is at a loss for words.

So that therefore being null and void, what then are these "benefits"? LOL

Bring in dem cheap car and
Put big loud speaker boost in them and
Put the right flag sticking out back windows
and they gah sell.

ConcernedBahamian. The long list of promises you listed were simply not remembered by Cat Island people at election time - so they voted PLP again.

In similar fashion, the long history of degradation to Freeport which started immediately in 1992 was not remembered by Grand Bahama people - so they voted FNM again.

The truly sad part, however, was the refusal by Branville to step down until after election thereby giving the people in those 7 constituencies along with the other 32 no other choice but to vote for the same old, same old.

We could have had Prime Minister Mortimer today. But, without options, we remain on course to transfer our capitol to Port au Prince.

All pit bulls should be banned. A deadline for registering existing pit bulls should be made May 10th and all found after that date unregistered should be put to death.

Pit bulls are not dogs. They are pit bulls. Tigers are not dogs either. They are tigers.

Child !!! Andros is like fire, eh? First Bamzy, now Plamzy. Muddo.

Ok - alrighty then - get the tractors up there, start clearing the land and start building. Stop talking and start building. The holiday is over by Tuesday morning - let's see some D-8 up there Tuesday afternoon please. Or will we just see more articles in the newspaper about a fairy-tale oil refinery?

Giving Flying Fred some competition.

Government clearly is never going to take the Crown land from the Queen and share it up and give it to Bahamians - so I think the 2nd best option is to sell ALL the Crown land to foreigners very very very quickly before it is all squatted on by Haitian "migrants."

Sell it for the same price it was sold to Oban. Can't remember, was it 50 cents an acre?

Yep - more young lives ruined by a criminal record. As Bahamians we don't need any country to declare war on us - we are doing a great job all by ourselves.

Too bad the police don't have any real criminals to find.

Seriously though, while my initial comment above (ya beast) sounds funny - this is not at all a funny situation. These are human beings who are fleeing unthinkable poverty and harsh conditions. They deserve better simply because they are human. I hold no hatred toward Haitians.

The question needs to be did the parents of the 11 children realize they were living in Haiti when they had sex? Did they use precautions? Were options available to them? Were such things forbidden by the Catholic Church which states its followers should only use the Rhythmic Method?

Have the Haitian people ever considered chasing the bishops and priests to Hell out of town the same way they did the French?

Do Haitians intend to fight to make a rich and prosperous Haiti or do they intend to continue to breed like rabbits and send their poor starving citizens all over the world crying "Somebody please help poor little me!!" like a bunch of cry-baby sissies?

Start the fight by kicking the Catholic Church out. Re-examine your faith and ask yourselves whether God wants his children to starve. I submit that while the Pope doesn't care, God does care. HE will deal with the Pope later. You deal with a condom manufacturer now.
