Does anyone else remember Mr. Ruffin closing hotels on Cable Beach? Does anyone remember the name of his Bahamian lawyer? Does anyone remember how much severance pay was paid out to laid off workers. Asking for a friend. sigh.
jobblow, your are using logical fallacies and unfounded presumptions. I can only admire the way you presume why Jesus did or did not say particular things. If I had to guess then I would guess that you make a good living from preaching to the credulous.
What is interesting here is the simple level of ignorance being displayed, Jesus said not one word about men who were gay, there is no teaching of Jesus's referencing anything close to homosexuality, and again and again some church leaders get obsessed with the subject. We can speculate why that is.
These comments by the unelected politician appointed to a well paid cabinet post plus the salary of other pm appointments , are commonly called "victim blaming".... it is all your fault, not ours, because you are not having enough unwanted children. Just so disgusting....how does he sleep at night?
This is so wrong, it is blaming the victims of the government's decades long mismanagement of the nib contributions. An employee works fifty or more years paying money in every month; properly managed and invested this amount contributed should be more than enough to fund the pension payments through retirement. It is not because of the reasons previously stated, also NIB is overstaffed and many of the staff are way overpaid. It was never going to be sustainable from it's inception.
The FNM proposed holding a referendum a couple of decades ago to amend our constitution to give women equal rights to those enjoyed by men. The PLP members of the HOA agreed to support this overdue amendment. When the referendum was held the PLP did not keep their agreement but campaigned against it' the were helped by Drexel Gomez in this effort to defeat the proposal. The defeat of the referendum led to the defeat of the FNM in the general election that was held soon after. For an unknown reason both of drexel gomez's sons were granted well paid cabinet positions in the new PLP administration. Lessons learnt; don't trust Anglican bishops and do not hold referendums. The ridiculous referendum on gambling held by the corruption smeared christie government was just the final nail in the coffin of Bahamian referendums. They will not happen again in the normal course of politics.
Let me spell it out for those who need it, Black Bahamians can be just as suspectable to the easy shortcut of racism as white, passing white, or slightly less black Bahamians, as can be white Bahamians, Now, man-up and let us all know which of these three you are. This assumes that you are not a Russian government troll, or Iranian, or Chinese, or.....whoever....
You assume too much, I assumed that only a black Bahamian would use such an outdated dog whistle phrase; did you not know that black people can be racist? Now I also wonder why you would consider calling a racist for comments a puerile act, but congratulations on getting a good education.
