Brainwashed into believing they are D average IS a part of the problem, yes - but ALSO being taught to have children like rabbits to fill church pews, give money to the churches, and plan for the "afterlife" and that struggling and suffering is fine in this life because we're all gonna share a soft puffy cloud with Jesus someday is also a BiG BIG part of of the problem.
No politician would ever say this (well, actually one did tip-toe into it during the last election - his name eludes me at the moment. They almost had him on the BBQ).
The church is the most destructive force in this country. More than guns, more than drugs, more than teenage pregnancies. Those 3 are just the symptoms of the church disease.
Nothing wrong with worshiping God, mind you, just not the way we do it.

You take the high grade
You take the light green
You take the Bobby Brown
That makes Bin Laden weed.

Sheep you know you can't name names in the Bahamas due to our overly strong liebull laws.

I agree with K.P. It seems too many Bahamians dont understand where money comes from. Dont understand spin-offs. I worked in a related company to the huge perfume distributor on Queen's Hwy in Freeport that closed in October 2015.

This was a foreign company that imported perfume from around the world and distributed it to the Caribbean and the USA. Containers coming and going like crazy. A HUGE air conditioned warehouses (big time power bill helping to pay salaries of power company workers), mobile car wash van showing up every Friday to clean the company vehicles and several of the well paid employees got theirs cleaned at the same time. Employees buying lunch every day from restaurants and take-outs, buying new sneakers, local stationery and computer supply company vans pulling up twice a week, UPS and FEDEX pulling up twice a week. Forklift repairmen coming. Forklift propane tanks being refilled.
I could go on and on - but im sure it would not budge one inch the idiotic remarks on here from morons that believe specialty foreign investment takes away from Bahamians instead of helps them.
Those 32 employees are now walking around handing out resumes - or any that did find a job did by taking a job that someone else could have gotten.
These silly remarks by the PLP are simply aimed at the white man plain and simple. They have had no problem with tens of thousands of Haitians coming in and taking jobs and shipping the money out. Their skin in black - so everything cool - to Hell with Bahamians. That along with not disclosing what happened to the VAT money caused them to look so silly with only 4 people on their side of the House. Even the PM lost his seat.
I dont like KP keeping the VAT money secret either - but on this immigration bill he is 100% correct.

Yes. The 7% remaining from my referenced 93% above im sure know a lot.

Is this the Bahamas' version of Civil War statues removal? Are there "good folks" on both sides?

Don't stress yourself Mr Weiner. Most Bahamians attend church every Sunday, but 93% of them have never heard about Jesus's teachings on forgiveness. At the same time, 94.6% can't remember which brand of toilet paper they used in 1976.

We on the right tracc and thassa facc :-)

"The letter is signed by organisations including Abaco-based Friends of the Environment; The Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organisation; local and international representatives ..."

Three groups that refused to sign (claiming they needed jobs) were:
Bahamas Unemployed Workers & Beggars Union
- - The Pop Em Out Party Crew - -
and the
Belly Swell & All is Well Friendly Society

Sure. But enforcing dumping regulations is a separate issue from the investment on GB. If we hate Carnival that much then put your money where your mouth is and say we dont want them coming to our ports at all.

Yall dont feel the pain of people in this country toting water in shopping carts so they can flush their toilets.
