... we refuse to acknowledge the grave national security concerns that arise from having a large, entitled. non-Bahamian population resident in this country! The Trojan horse is in the gates!
... a father/son kite day would be a far better idea and could help to bolster something this country actually needs, better parent child relationships!
... there are many people in the healthcare industry who would be better off working somewhere else; maybe animal husbandry! There are a few good people in the system, but they are overwhelmed by those who only punch the clock to get a cheque, but that's true of the public system in general!
... Bahamians have lost the ability to grasp the concept of personal responsibility! It is not the governments job to "take care of you" or to provide relief outside of the existing structure that exists in Social Services. It is not the governments job to mitigate the risk you undertake in any business! But because they know an election is around the corner they want the taxpayers to bear the burden of rebuilding a (temporary) **personal** business that overcharges the public? To that I say, "no".
... the people in this country I see today are nothing like the Bahamians I grew up with! There were always those who walked on the wrong side of the law, but even they were relatively decent by todays standards, compared to the animals that are now on the prowl! Now they have no respect for God, man or other people's things! Teaching children how to be a civil human being is a thing of the past in this country; now the animals rule!

"*In its statement, the barge company claimed Bahamian police initially avoided confronting looters “due to concerns of possible violence,” saying the delay “created a dangerous situation that could have easily resulted in injury, or worse, to our US personnel or others.*”
... all of the freight on that container is insured! The shipper is the one with the responsibility of ensuring the safety of their cargo, not local law enforcement! As soon as the company found out the barge was grounded, they should have mobilized security to ensure the cargo was safe and coordinated with local law enforcement to advise of the potential of confrontation with looters! It also would have communicated to potential looters that there was a risk to them of interfering with private property! That said, there is no reason for people to board and retrieve items from a ship that is obviously not theirs. Stealing is just plain wrong!
... no question this is wrong, but people seem to forget a time in the past when the unscrupulous would use lights to intentionally lure ships onto the reefs so that they would wreck and people could scavenge the proceeds! Humans have the capacity to commit great acts of evil!
