... Bahamians have become experts at catering to their immediate needs and wants without giving any regard to the future and what has it given us? A country full of illegitimate children who grew up with no moral training or self control. We went from a country that was relatively debt free to one drowning in debt. From one that was relatively safe to one where now you need a walled in yard with a gate and 1-2 dogs in that yard, but you still need a home surveillance system and bars on your windows! And even then you are not sure if you are safe.
What we have been doing as a people hasn't been working and people don't have sense to see that. But yeah, let's continue down the road you suggest because sometimes things have to get worse before they get better!
... if only thinking adults could be elected to actually address many of the nations problems, instead we keep getting people who rearrange the lounge chairs on a sinking ship!
... we need less Chinese involvement, not more! Pindling was right to try and keep them out. They give a little with one hand and take a lot with the other, but sadly Bahamians like "free" things!
... as a nation we need term limits! Two terms and no more! These parasites are turning what should be a form of national service into a career of self service. Let them serve their time and leave, without pensions! These people keep running the country into the ground and imbecilic Bahamians keep voting them in to do just that. It seems the country is getting what it deserves, after all, the Bahamian people are voting for it!
... so between the amount of public holidays, sick **call in** days, days with a sick slip, compassionate days, maternity days, vacation days, personal time days and sometimes days for jury duty, why don't companies just pay people to stay home?
... how dare a person make an investment and seek to get the best possible return on that investment, especially when they have to pay property tax and maintain their property? How heartless!
It is because of mindsets like the writer that the Bahamas may be "democratic" in its election process, but has been moving toward socialism in its practices. Socialism benefits the nonproducers and makes the producers flee! The government does not need to control every aspect of our lives. People need to take a greater amount of responsibility for themselves. If you can't afford it, look for something else!
... Minnis wants to be MP of Killarney so that he can fulfil his ambition of being PM again. Instead of just 'consulting' with those in Killarney, he should consider what Bahamians as a whole think of him trying to be PM again! Or he could just look at the proportion of seats the FNM currently have in the House based on what people thought of his leadership the last time!
... where is the father? Amazing how many people miss the obscene choices people make! Hats off to the person who decided to make a difference in her life though!
... a camera because you can't stop someone from overpowering you to sexually assault or rape you, but a camera will keep you safe??? Yeah, that sounds like a very Bahamian solution to the problem!
... clearly Minnis could do nothing to address the problem and do we still have that "Office of the Spouse of the PM" his status seeking wife created?
You can't legislate morality people say; only what is in you could come out! These jet ski operators are reflective of Bahamian society! Sexual predators exist everywhere, in Parliament, the police/defense forces and on the job! We have become a morally bankrupt people and it wasn't always that way! Will we change? Unlikely, so expect more of the same!
