My apologies to Richard. Sincerely. This is just a totally disgusting situation and i really dont think government realizes how many Bahamians are getting down to their last straws.

That little pipsqueak taxi strike a week ago is only the beginning. If only we had real unions like used to have in the 80s - this country would be shut down right now. These wimps dont know how to strike.

We need a national strike until govt withdraws from all discussion and action toward WTO and until they tell us what has happened to all the VAT money collected since Jan 2015.

...because i might end up being held in an African prison for 7 years.

Yep, it's getting suckier and suckier.

"Her remarks were seen as “offensive”by Immigration Minister Brent Symonette who also admitted officials needed to do a better job at charging some employers, the Nassau Guardian reported."

Charging them with what? There is NO LAW against hiring illegals in this country. The few employers that are charged (very few are) are done so under the "harbouring" clause. The word "employing" does not appear.

One has to wonder what response a "Christian nation" that treats people worse than dogs, will receive from their God.

Could we conclude from this case that God is dead?

Yeah? Then why am i treated like a criminal by a bank ive dealt with over 15 years? They called and said the passport they have on file for me expired. Really? So that means what? Im not me anymore? Im suddenly a money launderer? Can they please show me the profits i get from my money laundering? I need to pay my light bill. In fact im even considering going into money laundering to make some extra money. If im going to be treated like a criminal i may as well get the Benjamins that come with it.

There needs to be called an emergency meeting of the Gangsta's Union.

They destroyed some of God's plants? No way. I don't believe it. I myself would be too afraid to destroy God's possessions. HE is more powerful than me. Maybe the police are more powerful than God?

"In past public seminars about wto, bccec has presented the lead negotiators (originally accountant Ray Winder, now former Finance Minister Zhivago Laing) who described all the plus features, followed by a few comments or questions from the floor, often by people uneducated on the issues."

Here he suggests that those asking questions are "uneducated on the issues". In other words if you dont just accept WTO without question, then you are an uneducated idiot.

Why would someone attend a seminar except to learn something new about a subject. Of course they dont know everything about WTO that's why they are there - to learn.

I would like to learn too. But there is ZERO information available about the benefits to us of joining WTO ecxept that we can export crayfish. We are already exporting crayfish and whoever in Europe chooses not to buy our crayfish because we are not a member of WTO can just go without. Our crayfish species does not live anywhere else in the world. If our defense force would start shooting Domicans dead on sight like you would any invading army then we will hold Europe in check.

But instead Europe sends us a blank WTO page to sign first and they fill in later and we are told if we dont agree with it then we are uneducated morons and not modern.

Why isnt everyone supporting WTO in this country promptly arrested as a traitor?

I met a fisherman the other day selling off his truck. I asked him if his fish were fresh and he replied with a resounding "Yes sir."
