The Olympics were started long before Christianity was invented. The tableau in the opening of the Paris Olympics simply showed the Greek Gods of the original Olympians. Stop being so easily offended, not everything is about you and the beliefs you have chosen.
Truebohamian, you have missed the point. You want the Btitish taxpayers to psy off the descenants of people enslaved by, say the Portugese ar Spanish, or Smerican, who eere liberated by the actions og those same Btitish. This wjole question of reparations as it relates to Bahamians is acyually more complex than it first appears.
Gor some years after the Btitish government abolished the trading in slaves their Royal Navy intercepted slave ships and freed the enslaved..At least 2 groups of these slaves liberated by the British Royal Navy were settled in New Providence, or so I have have read
All the millions of dollars of our taxpayers money that is spent keeping ZNS afloat each year, most all of it goes to pay for bloated number of staff and their large salaries, free medical insurance, and non-contributory pensions. Col. Oakley Bidwell would be truly shocked to see how hat he started has ended up.
Congratulations to this senator for raising this topic. The costs and traumas involved in getting divorced in this country are regressive, unnecessary, and just so out of touch with modern life.

So my question is how many Bahamians are not of mixed ethnicity? Which of us pays the money and which of us receives it? And how much?
