How come fifty years ago it wasn,t like this if it was taught from slavery ..At what point do we take personal responsibility ..You want to read something shocking ,read about how Pigmies are killed ,enslaved and even eaten ..yes even today .IT was this way before slavery/ colonialization and goes on today ..

Good post ,also the fathers need to be involved . On the family island i live half of the courts time is absentee fathers for child support .It has almost b/c like welfare in the U/S THAT promotes absentee dads .Here the women has multiply children for different daddys and chases them through the court for a meager income ..

@John Dude you need medication ...once again the U/S has a homocide rate of 4 per 100,000 ,the Bahamas is running at 26 per 100,000 ..Who are you to question anyones nationality ..As a Bahamian i have a right to have an opinion about issues in my country just like a tourist has a right to have an opinion about ,crime ,service ,price to decide if they want to return ...Is that your coup de grace ,anyone you disagree w/ you call a non Bahamian and tell them to leave ,,,actually you are predictable ,in your xenophopia , your skewed opinions and your pumped up bravado w/ your "i is Bahamian " and everything wrong here is another countries doing .You would be surprised to know how many weapons come from the south ,Jamaica ,Columbia w/ the drug trade .K Bell did exactly what he intended w/ you ,take the responsibility and failure in crime away from us and give the under educated the "strawman " to rail at the 'wicked U/S "

Theres not much the government can do we shot all our bullets on infastructure during the worst of the recession ,now the kitty is empty .Also during the recession travellers looked for better value ,less expensive , vacations .That is why DR,s ,Cubas ,Jamaicas Stopover visitors has increased and ours has decreased . Unless the U/S global economy starts to cook at 5 to 6% growth we are in for a rough ride ..All our hopes are on if Baha mar can get the asain money here or are the chinese gov , content w/ just buying our vote in the UN

@john @ sp ,,read John Rolles article about concessions ,subsidies in the Guardian .., only 25% go to tourism ,FDI the remaining 75% go to local industries ,public corps etc ,,like BEC paying no duty on fuel ..John Atlantis was once publicly traded ,did you buy any ? Cable bahamas sold shares ,The new port ,did you buy any ?? My family had shares in New prov ,develoment ,super value ,city market ,all which the public could have bougth ,,did you ?/

@SP we don,t produce anything ,we sell sun ,sand and sea ,,how many Bahamians do you know w/ a billion dollars to build Baha mar or Atlantis ..We have to give concessions b/c our cost are high b/c of our overstaffed public corps ,we are competeing against others in the reason for the same FDI .. A Bahamian can put up money open a hotel and get the same duty free concessions ..Our manufacturing industries are subsisized and protected and we still produce inferior toliet paper that w/ out the protection from gov the companies would be out of business ..BEC pays no duty on fuel ,a subsidy , and still can,t produce reliable ,affordable electricity ,,

@ jOHN could come into the 21st century and put down a 100 dollar deposit ,go post paid and pay as little as 12 cents a minute ,then he wouldn,t have to touch those vibrio tainted cards whitey is pushing ,,lmao

@JOHN ,I,M sure its some old white men sitting around in a room ,thinking if these young black guys keep making so much selling phone cards they will soon be moving into lyford cay ..The white man is so wicked johnny ,,,,,,,,,,,of course i,m being totally sarcastic and feeding your extreme xenophopia ,,,This is about bacteria ,,you need to get some meds to help w/ that phone card thingy you got going on ..

Whatever you say Johnny ,maybe those foreigners could be asked not to cr@p while there here ..

Shares were sold in the port ,buy any ? Shares were sold in Cable Bahamas that have increased in value nicely ,buy any ?? Ingraham was going to sell shares to the public of your favorite BTC ,,I think Atlantis was once traded ,if so did you buy any ?? Any of the bond offerings ??
