... 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!
If the person in the picture above is not there by permission of the owner, then at minimum, he is trespassing!
"*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!
... the goal post hasn't moved at all! The genetic anomaly he referred to does not create another sex, just a different physical manifestation of the two sexes.
... clearly comprehension is a challenge for you! Please advise, what percentage of people who claim to be "transgender" are actual hermaphrodites (like the earthworm), or have a disorder like Klinefelters syndrome? The answer will reveal your extent of your ignorance!
... for all of human history there were only two sexes, male and female. These characteristics are immutable! When what objective reality and science says is contradicted by what a person feels, commonsense demands that we follow the objective evidence. In spite of how a person feels if objective testing shows your blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar are high, then your feelings are disregarded in the face of the evidence. If a biopsy shows cancer, your feelings are irrelevant! That is what is done in all other areas of life, why should this guy be treated any different?
