... so between the amount of public holidays, sick **call in** days, days with a sick slip, compassionate days, maternity days, vacation days, personal time days and sometimes days for jury duty, why don't companies just pay people to stay home?
... how dare a person make an investment and seek to get the best possible return on that investment, especially when they have to pay property tax and maintain their property? How heartless!
It is because of mindsets like the writer that the Bahamas may be "democratic" in its election process, but has been moving toward socialism in its practices. Socialism benefits the nonproducers and makes the producers flee! The government does not need to control every aspect of our lives. People need to take a greater amount of responsibility for themselves. If you can't afford it, look for something else!
... Minnis wants to be MP of Killarney so that he can fulfil his ambition of being PM again. Instead of just 'consulting' with those in Killarney, he should consider what Bahamians as a whole think of him trying to be PM again! Or he could just look at the proportion of seats the FNM currently have in the House based on what people thought of his leadership the last time!
... where is the father? Amazing how many people miss the obscene choices people make! Hats off to the person who decided to make a difference in her life though!
... a camera because you can't stop someone from overpowering you to sexually assault or rape you, but a camera will keep you safe??? Yeah, that sounds like a very Bahamian solution to the problem!
... clearly Minnis could do nothing to address the problem and do we still have that "Office of the Spouse of the PM" his status seeking wife created?
You can't legislate morality people say; only what is in you could come out! These jet ski operators are reflective of Bahamian society! Sexual predators exist everywhere, in Parliament, the police/defense forces and on the job! We have become a morally bankrupt people and it wasn't always that way! Will we change? Unlikely, so expect more of the same!
... I remember when Bahamians were largely a fairly decent people. We abandoned morality and everyone does what is right in their own eyes; it has only reduced us to a people who are more animal than human. In fact, some animals have more of a conscience than many walking around in society today! We are reaping what we have sown, but maybe more new police cars will solve the problem!
... notice no mention of the father? That should have been the first question! Many children in this country suffer unnecessarily because of the poor choices of their parents!
... Trump is doing what every leader should do, look out for the best short and long term interests of his country! We have yet to have one leader who can consistently do that! Politics in the Bahamas is a way for a person to look out for their own interest under the guise of "national service".
... we continue to choose people to govern who are career failures at national development, but successful at using government access to build their personal fiefdoms! Since independence out nation has increased it's dependence on external factors for our survival, increasing our vulnerability to those forces! In both the government and people's personal lives, living above your means is the norm! We are not in a position to change anything and the government can't do anything! We have no choice but to take what the nations who sweetheart the Bahamas choose to give!
