Im not bashing anything it would be ludicrous for me to say that we dont have crime, corruption etc, my point is that what are we doing about it? Things that are widely pratices in the bahamas is corrupt or crime it starts from there wear your seat belt, pay your customs duty, don't hire your cousin to fill a job post, it starts from there give that fatherless child an opportunity to work, treat everyone fair educate the disadvantaged and impoverished give to charity, help your community

Did the bastards come from bastards, it sounds like you are a parent have you or the other parent neglected/evaded responsibilities of providing for your children ? were you married?

there was virtually and rug laws established in the 80's as it related to import/export the act was commenced on December 29th 2000 as listed on the Dangerous act laws. Check the books

The Colombians bought permission of use of our resources and paid a tax can you 100% say that Sir Lyden Pindling and the then PLP was directly involved in the the drug trafficking? Did you see them moving bricks? Who really controlled the trade in the 80's

You cant produce a fatherless child and that has nothing to do with it, what civil service do they receive? i see these kids with nothing and parents also.

Sound's like you would want it to become like Haiti or Jamaica why not adopt and mentor a child, volunteer your time to an after school program.

Or a sex ed class, or get the garbage trucks to pick up the trash regularly so that it would not become a slum. and tell teachers to teach in public schools...come on..Are you apart of the cure or problem?

I agree with the rearranging and following procedures and getting his house in order,
Im not glorifying the bahamas as being big and bad because it is out of style.
My point is that we should be more nationalistic and stand our grounds with immigration and the crime issue.

Im not saying to withdraw our diplomatic relations with the usa or that they should do the same, but the point is the issue is being politicized.

You have to stand for something or you fall for anything, If not they will dictate to the Bahamas entirely with no benefits for the people.

And we are an Island but also a member of The Commonwealth Realm,
then i hear these same wolves in sheeps clothing crying for us to become a republic, how and for what? this country belongs to the Crown.

The ones that created the constitution of the commonwealth of the Bahamas in 1973

Hey the constitution is there if you believe that and its found to be true the can be removed their ***job*** is not indispensable as they are hired by the majority of the citizens of the Bahamas.

another thing is now we have Bahamians who are not Bahamians, they either bought their citizenship or gained it but do not share the view or beliefs of our forefathers you cant change what Lynden Pindling and others started which is in the Constitution, if you changed the foundations of the Bahamas we just wont simply be able to call it the Bahamas, our founding fathers created this country for us to enjoy we can not change that or allow foreigners who bought or stole their right to change that lest we become lost.

Your absolutely right, entering or getting a US visa is a privilege, The same can be said about the Bahamas.

Who are really the ones that truly enjoy such privilege?

Crime does exist worldwide, one can travel to the USA and experience racism from the server at McDonald's to an officer of the local police.

On several holiday periods there were reports that Bahamians were being targeted and victims of theft while shopping in South Florida, it would not be fair to say that Bahamians should not travel to shop in The US based solely on what happened.

Bahamian business persons are swindled all the time in the US if they are not sharp enough. Before you go if your caught with your $6,000 asue draw and your with 2 of your friends who have $5,000 each your funds are confiscated.

The Bahamas is one of or if the most successful independent countries ruled by the majority of Black/ African descent and i do believed we are envied and are becoming targets.Is It because we have become educated as blacks and run our economy and make are own deals to buy from China or Canada? Or develop our oil field which has oil in abundance?

We do have crime such as anywhere else, lets make it a better Bahamas and use our neighbors immigration practices where we protect our air/sea ports and keep undesirable foreigners from disturbing/influencing our quaint and peaceful people n country we call home and paradise lets get better for our selves and grandchildren.

Tourism is good but lets do manufacturing lets use BISX, recycling,farming,lets do some exports lets do some oil digging get rid or limit the Foreign Direct Investments.

Get jobs for Bahamians and continue to educate our people.

Bahamians in general love the USA and like to travel however in most cases its just a few who make the experience bad on both ends.
