What people fail to realize today you have to comply w/ IMF ,WTO and sign treaties if you want the other countries clearing banks to clear your drafts /checks.. ie i f you got a bank draft from central bank for school fees or goods and the clearing banks in NY won,t accept it what good is it or if a foriegner has accounts and companies here but can,t wire funds through the clearing banks who is going to invest .I,m not a PGC or PLP fan but i do realize they have to do certain things about our taxation etc for us to be involved in the financial services .

We do speak english here ,but i have never heard a Bahamian use the term "bore off" in speech ...please proceed w/ the name calling..

your right these fine citizens should be sent to work in the reef on paradise island and in the high end homes of Frankie Wilson and the Williams family and for Nygard and other rich investor , or better yet they should be giving the keys to the country to run the public utilities ,BTC included ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,of course i,m being sarcastic

I knew when i saw the headline Tals would become nearly orgasmic w/ "red shirt " bashing and Rory would go straight to middle school name calling ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

ahhh i think maybe UBS caving had alot to do w/ the changing dynamics in offshore banking ,however it must be nice to know everything and be so dogmatic . The IDB shut the road project down when locals were doing it ,Bethel trucking ,and said they would only loan more w/ an international contrator ..Try not to let your bias and anti foriegn opinions get in the way of reality ..Also if we are going to built a lot of mega resorts we better start giving work permits ,or would you like the boys from montel heights interacting w/ our guest ...If you reply please do so w/ out name calling and maybe a few facts to support your hyperbole ..

How did i know when i read the headline that Tals would nearly become orgasmic w/ "red shirt nonsense " and Rory would resort to name calling of his fellow posters ...

good one,,,very true

I Feel for the young man ,but who in this day and age walks around w/ 42 thousand dollars in gold ..He is lucky he wasn,t shot and robbed ..

the spirit of whitney ,,Tals are you drinking?

Good Lord 70,000 a month per store for super value ,no wonder food cost so much ..5million a month at Atlantis no wonder we can,t compete in tourism .By the time the politicians tell the truth ,that it is feasibly impossible to absorb our prolific baby making w/ public sector jobs it will be too late .we will be like Haiti ,the rich political elite ,no middle class ,and poverty for everyone else ..
