See what I mean about PLP's? They have lost the spirit of the milk of human kindness. They are in the gutter and assume that everyone else is in the gutter, and they are incapable of seeing the truth and the light. You can't hang out with negative people and have a positive life. You need the negative committee that sits inside your head to sit small and shut up.

The acidity of your life is due to what goes on inside your head. I somehow hope that you too, may someday, before you lie mouldering in your grave, to receive the gift of the milk of human kindness and more importantly, an ability to recognise the truth.

Someone should tell the sexual predator to sit small.

Not me. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

If you get off the island for any length of time, you realise that there are clouds of negativity and repression that permeates the fiber of your being on our limestone rock. It is a cancer.

Bahamians are living in a sick society that has forgotten kindness, altruism, goodness and forbearance. We have fatally wounded Truth and our daily lives are filled with the corrosive acid of divisiveness that we eagerly dump on our neighbours and fellow man.

I can't believe that we have apologists for anti-patriotic, anti-social, and morally corrupt behaviour of our fellow man.

There isn't a perfect place on earth, but there are better places than what the Bahamas has become. I was a house guest this weekend with friends of a co-worker, and it surprised me that they do not lock their doors at night. They leave unwanted household items by the side of the road to be recycled by those who need them (a computer printer and an old sewing machine were two things that caught my eye). There was a local civic election going on, and I was invited for a question/answer period. When I said that I wasn't allowed to vote, I was invited anyway for a possible contribution to the discussion.

We have lost our way. We have lost our decency. We have lost our ability as a people to be authentic, truthful and kind. It won't be fixed anytime soon, because once the baser side of the animal spirit in humans is value-programmed, it is way too late for remediation.

It is sad. It is a major impediment to solving the considerable and overwhelming problems of The Bahamas.

When you compare import duties, VAT etc, Bahamians are taxed higher than countries with income tax.

I have stories about Felix Stubbs.

Because companies cannot put away untaxed money for emergencies and catastrophes, captives are the only vehicle to do so. Because money put into captives is untaxed, it is misused as not only a tax shelter, but also as a method of avoiding corporate income tax and taking capital out of the company in a "friendlier tax jurisdiction". Hence this is why the words US Tax Crackdown is in the headline.

We cannot become a competitive captive player because we do not have the open, transparent comprehensive tax information exchange. We are still a tax haven. What the people in the Bahamas Financial Services do not realise, is that the tax haven is dead. Instead we should be transitioning to modern financial services, but we haven't and we aren't. We still have the same old mentality that is no longer valid in the global marketplace. That is why our Financial Services are declining faster than a jungliss panties hitting the floor.

Unfortunately, the technology is not emergent technology. Technicians are the lowest on the ladder of technology. We need engineers, programmers and scientists on the ground. Those are the people who have the theoretical understanding to make new products.

Mudda save yourself the trouble of signing in and out and signing in under another name. It's insulting, stupid and fools no one. At times you do have interesting things to say, but your integrity is definitely in question with the stupid charade and masquerade that you are doing.

Agree.

> it will take whole heaps Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Muslim, Anglicans/Episcopalians and Seventh-day Adventists faiths combined to believe anything Red?

Did you get the religion? You PLP fookers stole millions and lied with absolutely every piece of feces coming out of your mouth, and you have the temerity and audacity to call someone else a liar, when the perfidy of the PLP is obvious from the day of its inception?

I am convinced that PLP adherents are sub-human apes with the incredible developed facility to give swing to their fellow enlightened Bahamians.

I am aghast that you and birdie and the members of your litter have no cognitive dissonance in realising how the country got to this state by your loyalty to the criminal PLP gang. Y'all must be lying psychopaths -- that is the only explanation. There is not one shred of human goodness, altruism, patriotism and truth in your being.
