... reparations is an ignorant and illogical ideology, as those who request them were never slaves and those they want to pay, never wronged them and so owe them nothing!
Nobody talks about the blacks who captured and sold their enemies from African tribes for trinkets, muskets and whiskey! Blacks never talk about blacks in Africa and the US owning and breeding slaves.
Slavery was a universal experience that was never about race! It was always about economics and both blacks and whites profited from it!
... the governments spending to maintain power, pad contracts etc. is out of control. The sole reason VAT was created was to pay down the national debt, but they spend VAT money **and** continue to borrow.
I have said before that the Bahamas was not ready for independence. Our people lack the maturity to think beyond gratifying their immediate needs and do not know how to prepare and plan for the future. Between staggering national debt, embedded illegal immigrants, corruption, high crime and an undiversified economy, this nation is poised to become what Jamaica was 30 years ago! What a joke this country is!
... Japan is not a "Christian" country and it has a lower crime rate with more educated and courteous people than the Bahamas. Prayer is one thing and having a structured, disciplined society that revolves around things like hard work, self improvement, excellence and discipline is another.
... a ceremony that commemorates the ineptitude of successive governments! The same low IQ individuals who have hurricane shelters at sea level all over the country and no workable plan for the next big one!
... the issue is never the tool used to commit an act, Cain used a rock. The real issue is the lack of structure in homes, schools and the larger community that can raise responsible, sensible, courteous people who can think before they act. We have failed as a nation to understand the importance of producing quality citizens. It doesn't help that we imported a whole load of illiterate migrants with a strong history of violence and social unrest!
If you take enough people from there and bring them here, it won't be long before here looks and becomes just like there!
... now watch the hypocrites who want to remove all traces of "colonialism" line up to have their photo op. The same people who like those colonial titles too!
... strange that people won't be productive during regular working hours and then get to be equally as unproductive and get paid overtime! What a corrupt, inefficient country this is, and people had the nerve to be upset when Trump used certain words to describe countries like ours!
