Well said Nana 10, well said. You need to repeat this over the radio constantly , so people can hear.what is the solution for a mother of two with no income and no sperm donor around? The solution for her is, have another child.
Same Bahamian mentality, borrow, borrow, spend, spend , spend , and can't afford to spend. They run the government like they run their households. Stop spending and pay our debt ! Austerity measures, no raises, cut off the lights in government buildings, no cars should leave government buildings after 5 pm,tighten each ministry, stop the people that sell licences under the table, stop the licence plates being sold under the table, stop the immigration officers selling permits under the table, stop the shake down of Haitians in the Carmichael area, stop the stealing of monies at C.O.B, stop the leaking of money at water and sewerage, stop the leaking at Bahamas Air, the list is too long, but we are a society of corruption. Everyone's hand is in the cookie jar. So, they tell me.
Joe Blow, great observation ! Did the government know that it was going to swear in a new governor general ? If so, why did it not prepare for it? Did the government not know that it was going to install generators? Why install generators during the hottest time of the year? Who made such a stupid decision? He or she should be fired! People get into government and run it like they run their own private lives. They spend more than they should to keep up with the Jones, then ask for money when their funds have run out on a materialistic lifestyle. Unfortunately for us, the funds come in the form of increased taxes like VAT. They same people who pay taxes still get taxed. There is only so much we can pay. The next set of people come in ., and they say they have to increase taxes because of the last group. Good gracious!!!!! This is insane !!!!!!! Soon , we are going to be paying $5 for a bus fare, $ 10 for a loaf of bread , $100 for a pint of paint , and the list goes on. Every group wants a raise , and the government has to increase taxes to pay everyone !
Are you telling me that people " Chum" the water. I guess its like the numbers racket. People actually bought numbers for years before anyone did anything about it. I guess we bahamians didn't know about it.
I also think that we would have international and local discussions for months if the three sharks were captured. Do you think the BNT would condone the killing of three sharks or have them shipped somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. i can assure you that they would be under pressure to have them released in the Atlantic as opposed to euthanizing them. Pitbulls , on the other hand, are euthanized without a word from BNT. BNt does not come to their rescue, they let the police handle it.
Clamshell, i take your point about tracking down a shark, however, can you tract down a lionfish? And this invasive species is threatening our livelihood , is a shark attack not threatening our tourism sector?So, i respectfully say that they are comparable.
Yes, good news, hopefully after receiving funds from the bahamian populace, they will come back and make a contribution to the society that helped them.To often, they stay in the states. America maintains our educated folks . People believe that they are entailed to free everything. Who is to pay? If no one is working or contributing to taxes, who pays the unions yearly increased salaries? Come back and contribute to this messed up place; we desperately need you !!!!!!!!!!
We should keep living and continue to educate ourselves . It is not the shark's fault. To be honest, I don't know why shark dives are legal; they should not be. They should be left alone. We are conflicted as a people, though. The BNT said not to kill sharks in respect to what happened,but tell you to kill the Lion fish, on the other hand, if a Pit Bull dog mauls a person, the dog is put to death. Why does the BNT not speak out when the police puts a dog down? What is the protocol for these situations? Kill a Pitbull, don't kill the shark, kill the Lion fish? We have banned the import of an American staffordshire terrier , but no ban on chumming, feeding, or diving with sharks. How crazy.
