... our country has become a moral and social cesspool, burdened with unsustainable debt, crime, an entrenched political class and a largely uneducated population that is allergic to work! We sanctioned the large scale immigration of a population that was poor, uneducated, and broke our laws to get and stay here. We gave them and their children passports and citizenship against the tenets of the constitution. Now we have two cultures within one country, while we have lost our own identity. Bahamian culture has been reduced to conch dishes and Junkanoo!
We were better off under the Brits, at least we would have had a better educational system and more accountability in government. Blacks have traditionally been hard taskmasters that enrich themselves and close associates to the detriment of the countries they serve, so I'm not sure what we are celebrating!

... the mere charge of rape sullies a persons reputation, even if the charge is not true. The mere fact that a person accuses another of rape is not proof that it happened. In addition, any law that cannot be equally applied to men and women is inequitable. Once women can be charged with rape as well then and only then should we should proceed!
... now that we have the children of **illegal** immigrants sitting in Parliament, in positions of authority in the Dept. of Immigration, on our rbdf, rbpf, teaching in our schools and competing with actual born Bahamians for jobs, they now want to say that we have a problem with illegal immigration? If we aggressively enforced the law 50 years ago, we would not have this problem. Our nation has been compromised beyond repair and it was all for a few votes. Sad!!
... I believe in costal erosion and new island formation from subaquatic volcanic eruptions. I also believe in increased subaquatic volcanic eruptions from tectonic plate movements, some of which are responsible for melting of polar ice. Desertification of places like the Sahara occurred long before there could ever be a claim of "man-made climate change". And that supports the point that earth goes through cycles. Planting more trees will help with the CO2 problem, but man cannot affect the climate. Historical fact! We are still both free to believe what we will based on the evidence we choose to believe!
... people continue to draw false equivalencies between "rising" CO2 levels and so called climate change, choosing to overlook earths geological record of changing climates. One has nothing to do with the other. Rising CO2 leves are a results of interrupting the normal cycle of CO2 capture by deforestation. The interglacial period we are in is being misinterpreted as something it is not.
... minimum wage is an entry level salary. People who are still making minimum wage after 2 years have no one to blame but themselves. An individual must choose to improve their lot in life, not rely on others to do it for them.
...I wonder how much of our national debt is a direct result of policies that schooled, fed, immunized and otherwise helped Haitian migrants over the years and I wonder how many jobs might be available to persons born in the Bahamas **legally**, if we didn't have competition with the offspring of illegal Haitian migrants!
... people don't seem to understand that you get paid for what you bring to the table in skills or knowledge! Entry level pay is not designed for people to build their lives on, it is ENTRY level pay. People need to develop skills or products others are willing to pay for if they want to make more, it's that simple!
