... China's evil influence grows here because we have a corrupt leadership that will sell influence to Beelzebub! Our leaders are self serving, ideological prostitutes! Anything for a buck!

... why can't the government focus more on enforcing current laws instead of just legislating?

*On healthcare, he acknowledged delays in hospital upgrades but said additional doctors and nurses have been recruited from Ghana, with three recently stationed in Exuma.*

How much time have these medical professionals spent working in Bahamian hospitals to ensure they are capable of working away from the medical support the capital can give? How fluent are they in Bahamian?

... our governments sure like taking other people's money without Bahamian knowing what was given in exchange! So sad!

... likely an attempt to pay less taxes! Income, sales and provincial taxes in Canada are brutal! Always follow the money!

... God created all, but God is not responsible for their choices! It would be hypocritical for Him to denounce certain behaviors if they were out of the realm of human control! It is a universal law that actions have consequences-- some temporal, others eternal! To each his own!

... yeah Rick! No thanks!

*"Mr Davis said true success is not measured by wealth or status, but by the good people do for others. “Here in The Bahamas, we have always known a different truth,” he said. “Success is measured by how much we give. It is measured by the love we show, by the good we do, and by the lives we lift up along the way.”*

... there is no metric by which the Bahamas is better off than it was 50 years ago. Any perceived gains have been eroded by the loss of intangible qualities that made us uniquely Bahamian. People have more stuff, but less love for themselves and others. We have more police and more crime. Many have more education, but less commonsense. More broken homes and less social cohesion. The national debt grows while politicians (and those closest to them) personal fortunes increase. Politicians consider self service to be national service! We have lost our work ethic and look to the government to provide everything, losing our dignity in the process. This country needs a cultural reset badly!

... the real ignorance on display here is not understanding that Jewish value systems were based on the 10 commandments and the laws of Moses given to be a moral guide for the people of Israel. Within that body of laws, there were two basic categories of sin: those for which sacrifices could be given and those for which death was the penalty. Homosexuality, along with a few other sins, were in the latter category. Death was the only penalty. The reason Jesus came, was to be a sacrifice for all sin, but especially for those that had no sacrifice for forgiveness. He did not have to say anything specific about homosexuality because everyone in his culture knew it was punishable by death, as was adultery or a child striking their parent. That is why when he told the woman found in adultery to go an sin no more, that would have included all those sins punishable by death, if people repent and are forgiven. One cannot revel in their sins and expect Gods grace! Of course, one would first have to believe in God in order to place some value on His dictates!

*"Mr Bastian said his priorities for the constituency include creating a community impact centre, promoting affordable housing, and tackling the high cost of living."*

... interesting, since his business model involves undermining the work ethic and siphoning wealth from over the hill communities by enticing people to play games in which the house always wins! I am convinced, Bahamians loved getting played!
