... slavery was a global reality for millennia and blacks were not the only one's affected. When will the black tribes who sold their black enemies into slavery apologize or pay reparations?? This is a circular argument of idiotic proportions! It's time to let this slavery nonsense die and move on and address the real issue of black people enslaving their own through high interest loans and gambling! Why not talk about that!
... a generation of people who can only make babies, buy numbers and screw up their face! It only took 53 years of independence for us to hit this milestone in national development!! Well done Bahamas!
... fishermen have been raping our waters for decades now, harvesting undersized conch and lobster and charging a premium, while using bleach to destroy coral reefs that will affect future generations. They sell you fish and then you have to pay someone to clean them. Maybe it takes these higher prices for people to cool off from buying from them. Maybe then fish, conch and lobster can have a chance to replenish their numbers. So forgive me if I don't feel sorry for them at all!
... how come so many people get honors but nobody knows who they are? For the amount of "outstanding" people they "honor" every year, our nation should not be in the state it is in, which suggests this exercise is a farce! If you set standards low enough, everyone will qualify!
... there are morbidly obese people with different medical problems who die outside of prison all the time! Too many people expect medication to do for them what they won't do for themselves. Was he trying to lose weight, getting exercise, eating properly (especially since his family would bring him food) or was he eating what he wanted to? Nobody but him was responsible for his physical condition or his breaking the law to end up in prison. We seem to be a nation divorced from the concept of personal responsibility; people always looking for someone else to blame! So far we only have one side of the story, so it would be nice to have a little more information.
... nobody wants to address the elephant in the room! The real poison of society is the near nonexistence of the nuclear family where there is true love, nurturing and moral training takes place. There are too many broken people having children that are abused and grow up emotionally disconnected from those that are called family. How then can those children have natural affection to their older relatives and want to take care of them? You reap what you sow and if we look around at the chaos that exists in our society, it becomes clear that chaos, neglect and abuse have been sown!
... rewarding bad behavior has become the norm in this country and that is why things will never improve! There is no real accountability at any level in this nation!
