use of marijuana has killed no one, ever. use of alcohol has killed untold multitudes and inflicted untold abuse on victims of abuse. refined sugar intake has caused untold misery to hundreds of thousands of diabetics and morbidly obese people. Let's get our priorities straight . Legalize marijuana and save lives. ignore the rants of the uninformed.

What is also unfair is that the churches do not pay the same taxes as regular businesses. They operate as a business, have a business location, a bank account, and salaried employees. Many of these churches are extremely profitable and yet they do not pay a business license fee. If the church has enough money to buy and operate a private aircraft for their CEO's then they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes, rendering unto Caesar.

Mr. Miller says that he runs his air-conditioners 12 to 40 hours each day. i now think that I understand how the national debt increased by so many millions of dollars when he was a member of the cabinet ruling the country. I wonder if he runs them for 9 days each week as well?

Hey, Truebnanian, you are repeating some very silly statements that you probably saw on social media somewhere. Columbus discovered the New World for the Europeans, of course the Caribs were already here.. Did the Zulus win the Battle of Rourke's drift? Of course they did, ten thousand Zulu warriors against six hundred (I think) British soldiers. Now ask which of these two sets of soldiers had more killed in the battle, and then ask yourself; who really won it?

previous successive administrations diverted large sums of money from NIB that should have been properly invested to give a return sufficient to pay the pensions of future retirees, the money was instead used for questionable things such as buying ambulances for the PHA, buying shares to prop up BOB, making loans to other SOEs. NI Bis a national disgrace. Would the politico who started it be proud of the present state of affairs? Yes, he probably would be. All for me, baby.

I understand that Miss Wilson was never a proper academic teacher, she only did the sports and gym classes. She is now a wannabe plp politician doing whatever she can to get a mention in the newspapers and other media. Well done to the minister for calling her out on her use of disgusting language. Someone who does use such language should not be around our children although she might fit in with an organisation that publicly puts the finger up/

Soneone call me out if I am wrong in thinking that Mr. John Pinder has never owned or operated a business in the Bahamas. He has never hired an employee onto the payroll of a business yet here he is the expert on Bahamian private businesses and their employees. How can his pronouncements be taken seriously?
