You dont have to. Noone controls your belief as noone controls this persons right to dress how they please. While any individual can decide to do whatever, you can only "hope" people will be civil in their interaction but you cannot control their belief or their ultimate reaction even if it is inhumane.

I say Miriam led the junkanoo parade.

I dont know what this gentleman's intentions were, I een in his head, maybe to attract the owner... and the owner was attracted to him, that's why he's so upset.

"*A number of groups have agreed to allow gay participants to wine up*"

I did not know that people needed a permission slip to dance. Now if you want to talk generally about vulgarity that's something else. But dancing is a expression of joy particular to being human. Theres nothing more beautiful than someone who's good at it, whatever form, classical, urban, folk, and again I distinguish vulgarity. "*Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.*" (junkanoo in the bible)

I dont recognize them as a woman, they're a man. Their right to dress like a woman, ok, do as you please. But I do agree that the aggressiveness with which men respond to them is odd. They dont have a contagious disease, you wont feel like suddenly cross dressing too if you're in the same room for any length of time. I think the main problem here was the bartender was actually attracted to them. That's what the issue was. The violence was projection.

I believe baiting does have a correlation. When people go into a controlled environment for a shark dive they are told to keep very still, no sudden movements, their behaviour makes the dive safe... well somewhat. A "regular" swimmer having a surprise encounter with a shark who associates (or not) people with food will act erratically. I think if a grouper touched me in the water I'd freak out.That frantic movement would trigger the shark to react. That's as much as I learn from teewee.

"*Because we had so many transactions trying to process at the same time, it was rejecting a token, probably looking as fraud.”*

Uhm... so Im pretty certain this is PR cover, Mr Davis knows his IT.

There were 8000 tickets in total. Imagine Amazon saying it couldnt handle 8000 payments. In reference to cash and online at the same time the system should be able to resolve a contention for the same ticket within seconds of each other. The problem with most systems is either enough testing isnt done or enough real life scenarios arent tested. Then someone has to provide a logical sounding reason for what happened that doesnt present like an error. And most Bahamians buy it because "*hey, its technology, these things happen*". imagine if you went in your car put it in drive and it reversed, would you say, "*hey its technology, we expect some errors?*". No system is perfect, but there are some things that should never happen, like double booking, one transaction should fail gracefully, no matter how close they are together.

"*This place aint real*"

When they guh let us know?

"*no question*"?

Does he go in the food store?

Yawn. What about the 200 sq acres of mangroves thst were destroyed? Are companies still being allowed to cut down hills and destroy trees in Andros for soil?

I read this allegory in high school in a geography book regarding Haiti. Over time, they systematically cut down all the trees in the name of commerce, then when the rains came they started experiencing the devastating mudslides. Hills soil and trees absorb rainwater, ask Nassau that has seen significant increase in flooding with concrete poured over soil, swamps filled in, hills and trees destroyed

Come home and read speeches to Bahamians about what we are doing to ourselves. Come quick while there is a Bahamas.

So us. People celebrate not being 1st because then we dont have to be on time.
