Shut down the maternity ward at PMH completely and weld it shut. Anyone who doesn't have enough money to pay the fees at Doctor's Hospital should have their baby in the bush - since that's where they plan to basically raise their child anyway.

The foolishness of poor people having poor children needs to stop. That will quickly bring an end to the droves of poor people all around the world.

Why would anyone want to bring a new human being into the world to live the life of a poor person anyway? That is human cruelty and should be outlawed. But even if not outlawed, people should have enough common sense not to do it on their own.

There is no law against consuming 10 bottles of Tylenol pills, but I don't do it as a result of my own awareness.

Anyone who doesn't understand this, should GOOGLE child mining in DRC (Congo) for cobalt rocks. Who brought those children into the world? Why haven't their parents been given the electric chair?

Who are the children in the Bahamas outside the supermarkets begging for money? If I was hungry I would beg for money too, so I don't blame them. But why haven't their parents been locked up?

If this new Government just coming into office thinks anywhere in the top ten of our problems in this country is that we need a new maternity ward (and apparently they do), then I'm already planning to vote PLP next time, because these set don't have a clue. At least the PLP knew better that to try and make our problems worse with more people that we can't afford to feed. Singe mother subsidy for FOOD now is like around $150 per month. Really? That's what we think children (and mothers) should be eating in this country? So after Sand doubles the size of this problem, will they only get $75 cheques?

Bey you mussy tryin to cause dead people to stop gettin paycheck in Govt? Bess watch yaseff before dey takes away ya passport. LOL.

I guess members of Mount Tabor Church should not have to be treated like animals - like every other n&@@er arrested in this country? Do those church members not eat over salted food in prison, or drink rusty water, or s$*t in a bucket? Do non-members deserve to?

Guess I need to read my Bible again, and find the part where Jesus talks about Children of God shitting in buckets. My bad. Learn something new every day.

LOL. Yes, people can get used to anything, and learn to love it. Besides there are a lot of people and places around now that specialize in CV-Joint repair for the front wheel suspension - and we wouldn't want to put them out of business. Wonder why all those express shipping places are scattered all over Nassau - with people importing stuff all the time. Can't we find everything we need right at Potter's Cay? Anyway, we can just agree to disagree. Best wishes my brother.

The Govt won't even give the Bahamas Crisis Center a building to work out of. I applaud the good doctor's efforts, but the tide in the opposite direction is too strong. Our culture is in direct opposition to improvement of any kind.

The churches love teenage pregnancy, and the people love giving money to the churches.

There is an old joke: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change.

He is probably waiting until after the DNA convention in September. If McCartney holds on to power, then :Davis need do nothing except sit back and wait for the Bahamian people to put the PLP back in power since they will have no other option in 2022 after the FNM failure.

If the DNA chooses a new vibrant leader, then he might have to actually get out there and tend to his PLP flock.

Why FNM failure? Simple. They refuse to give ordinary Bahamians any Crown Land so that they can have a lower cost of living (rent, mortgages) - thereby forcing landlords to fix toilets and banks to stop raping. That won't happen - so Bahamians will still be living in the gutter come 2022 and will again look for a savior. They will jump on ANY new name (without baggage) that is presented to them.

I see everyone is wise enough not to comment on this article. I'm impressed.

tell-it-like-it-is : Your comment is incredibly amusing to me - and is just another unbelievable comment from someone who (apparently) does not realize how much this country truly sucks. Perhaps your car has special shock absorbers and you just never feel the pot holes as you drive along.

How many pot holes have your run into in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, WPB, Tampa? I'm sure there are a few - but I personally have never seen even one in over 30 years of travel there.

We can't fix pot holes. Our kids can do long division upon leaving school (they know how to multiply though using the belly-swell method).

We should all be on our knees begging the USA to make us the 51st state. We practically are anyway. Almost everything we consume comes in thru Arawak Cay from Florida (almost). What Independence do we have except to lock up our brothers in prison and give them an introduction to what the trip was like across the ocean in the bowels of the slave ships?

Bahamians all around town asking shop clerks "Man you got any US you can change me?" Really? What's wrong with those Bahamians dollars you have in your hand?

Start the proposal. Ask them to take us into the fold, and we shall become the 51st state in the union before end of year. Stop fooling youself.

First true thing I've ever seen you write Tal. Congratulations. LOL. In good humour buddy.

It is simply the ongoing curse that black people must suffer - even if put upon them by other blacks. No way to change it. More are born every day to join in the suffering circus.
