Having been visiting The Bahamas and New Providence Island in particular since 1964 I can tell you Nassau has left the country!! What was once a beautiful island to visit is now an extension of Miami Beach, enormous hotels with not an ounce of culture or charm! The Straw Market is a mess! Woods Rodgers Walkway is filthy dirty! Bay Street is nothing but souvenir shops with a liquor store and a couple of high end shops just for show. Anything out of the ordinary, Dirty Dicks for one, long gone!
The prices of hotels and restaurants is astounding, I don't know how the average Bahamian can afford to even live there. Even the music is American or Jamaican, so hard to find good Bahamian of yesteryear.
VDSheep, rape is rape is rape be it between married people or single people. A marriage license does NOT give a husband the right to rape his wife. Rape has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with POWER. When a man or woman rapes it's for the power over that person and nothing more. Men and women must have the right to so NO if they so chose.
What is going on in The Bahamas??? Male gangs shooting each other, revenge shootings and now girl gang stabbing...all over a stupid cell phone!!
The time has come for the government to make these perpetrators responsible for their actions. I'm not sure hanging is the best solution but these people need to know that for every action there is a reaction.
Your government's have been corrupt for how many years now? The unemployment rate is horrendous. The teachers are inadequate, the churches are equally as corrupt as the government and don't preach the bible...only their conservative interpretation of it and family is non-existent! The country is in one he'll of a mess!!!
It's time this country realize how far backward it has gone over the last 20 years, for its people and for tourists who visit!
Personally, plastic and Styrofoam should be banned world wide. There isn't any need in our environment for either product anymore. Bravo for the Bahamas for taking that initiative!
Get your flu shot folks. Its not only for you but for the people around you.: the elderly, those with compromised immune systems and children. Its very selfish not to have the shot.
What a ridiculous waste of legitimate reporting space. Was "Don't Fret, What is There To Worry About" article, most childish, meant to be a waste of time. It's not informative nor humourous.
Back to the same old nonsense and believing men grope and assault women because of sex.
Grow up boys!!!
Sexual assaults are not about sex but about POWER over someone!! Women and some men have been assaulted for years be they wear a bikini or a turtle neck and jeans.
Tell women to dress appropriately is BS. Better to tell the men to keep their filthy hands off someone else...plain and simple!!
