... interesting that she did see the importance of how to deal with people until she worked for herself! That in a nutshell explains government workers and highlights the problem with our tourist product. People don't see how their behavior to guests in this country affects how and how much people are willing to spend! We have lost that part of the uniqueness that Bahamas had instinctively!
... in spite of its shortcomings, the Port Authority is better equipped to manage Freeport. All one has to do is look at Freeport and compare it to High Rock, West End or any other area outside of Port control! The government has no business sense. They will destroy and politicize the entire process, run up a massive bill and the rest of us Bahamians outside of Grand Bahama will pick up the bill!
... we knew for decades that Haitians almost never entered the Bahamas through a legal port of entry, so they only could have gotten the foothold they now have by breaking the law (with the assistance of corrupt Bahamians). Its time to penalize the lawbreakers and those who aid them with maximum penalties. The Bahamas cannot sustain anymore of these people who steal opportunity from actual Bahamians! Good riddance!
... plenty people graduating who can't read, write or problem solve and they have no soft skills! At some point we have to consider raising standards instead of lowering them! Everybody can't work for the government, a fast food restaurant or hustle tourists on the beach!
... 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!
