These guys are smart enough to know that the only thing that counts is a positive revenue statement from Baha Mar. The greatest bellwether of success is to examine the advance bookings now with travel agencies and online GDS systems. The first time it was announced that BahaMar was opening, folks booked rooms by the thousands for weddings and holidays. That well has been poisoned. I'd love to see the advance booking numbers. Somehow, I don't think that they are impressive.

This is an easy one to fix. Make the records public. If you have nothing to hide, then do it.

Looking at the pic of Crisco Butt, there are two thoughts running through my mind. The first is that Crisco Butt looks like he gats a moutful of peas 'n rice that is too hot. Secondly, I can't believe Chester joined the PLP. I used to think that he was a smart, good man.

Most think so, but the devil's work is never done. No rest for the wicked. I'll let you in on a secret. It is based on logic & syllogism and rational thinking.

If you go to hell, you een gern burn. The devil is the king of hell, and if you are doing his work, why would he punish you? You get rewarded by him. The rewards of the devil are pretty pleasurable, from what I can tell of partaking of them on earth.

That eternal fire and brimstone and burning story violates the second law of thermodynamics. You need energy and fuel to burn forever and even with a fusion furnace, you still need eternal mass or energy to keep the fires burning. And according to Boyle's Law, if you keep something burning with an eternal supply of fuel, the volume of Hell will increase over time until the whole thing blows, contracts and cools rapidly. At that point Hell will freeze over and it won't be any different than living in Canada.
think people.

Everything you say is true.

Which is proof that either good enjoys the show, has a sense of humour, or doesn't exist. Based on previous actions (expulsion from the Garden of Eden, turning Lot's wife into a pillar of Morton's Finest, promoting Noah to captain of a zoo cruise, etc) the first two are not true. So the last one must be true. The Bahamas would be a lot better place if we had a Bible-burning and had lessons in science, math, logic and literacy.

(This oughta be good for another couple-day suspension by the Tribune staff because someone's sensibilities were offended.)

You're a fine one to talk about facts and truths. I have caught you in one big lie and discerned many more. I am never going to change your mind with rational thought, so I will not even try. Carry on smartly and I wish you all the best in your life.

I have come to doubt every you say, since I caught you in a lie. You make shiite up all of the time and try to pass it off as real. But then again, it een no different than Tal or Birdie.

The invective here makes not one whit of difference. Most Bahamians do not read these posts. Its just a small group of addicts (myself included) who post here. And I somehow still think that you are a conchy joe here with permanent residency and een a born Bahamian.

Hey Sheep

Mr. Thompson and Mr./Ms. Justthefactsplease een gern change their minds by calling them freaking crazy -- even though they probably are for voting for a lightweight like Bran Flakes.

One thing that I have learned, is that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them think. People thin-slice -- meaning that they make snap decisions, and then have an endowment entitlement over a faulty logical position of that snap decision. It all seems so perfectly elegant and logical to them.

I'll never change birdbrain's (ermm birdie's) mind by insulting her - even though it satisfies some uncivilised instinct in me. I will never change her mind by being rational. I could debate with the wit of Winston Churchill and the intellect of Albert Einstein and you can never make dense people see the light. It is a matter of cognitive abilities. Cognitive ability in people is varied. A good analogy is a thimble and a teacup. Fill both with water and they are both up to their capacity in logic, reasoning and cognitive skills. But there is a lot more water of sanity in the teacup than in the thimble. That is why you can never change people's mind. The only thing that will cause them to change, is them getting a good cut hip, either literal or figurative as a result of an action they personally took.

These kinds of people with fallacious points of view will hardly ever see the light. They are not willing to take the time to learn the possibilities. They cannot disconnect from their original, fallacious thoughts. They don't examine consequences fairly and evenly. They hold their opinions strongly without rigorous mental examination. In short, you will never change anyone's mind with invective and rhetoric -- even though it is fun to do and is cathartic.

The only hope of Bahamians patriots, is that there are enough people smart enough to see that Minnis is trying, has a group around him built on meritocracy and higher ideals, and won't tolerate the corruption that the PLP slimeball, sub-human, gutter rats practice daily. The only hope is that the collective intelligence is smart enough for that -- but I doubt it. Bahamian brains fetch the highest prices on the organ black market, because they are in such pristine, unused condition. Also they are an exquisite collection of miniatures. God help us all.
