Carnival has no place in the Bahamas. Christie does not believe in us as a people nor our culture.

Hey 242, I've seen the youtube videos of tourists spear fishing for trophy catches here in the Bahamas. As a white Bahamian I am angry at the concessions given by the government to foreign investors. But let's get something straight. Bahamian land will always be worth more to tourists than to farmers. Oolitic limestone is sterile. Perhaps hydroponic farming is the future; I don't know. If you are so angry perhaps you should start farming, rolling in your bed of cash from Bahamian crops might make you happy. Conch and grouper stocks are at a critical turning point. Maybe you should read a little before unleashing ignorant, racist rants online.

@Cobalt, how is it that the descendants of illegal Haitians (with no papers) are "choosing" a life of poverty?

Sharing a bathroom with common peasants? Disgusting. Wow, Mr. Mitchell, every time you open your mouth you insult the voting population. What the heck is wrong with you?

Rainwater, people, the old folks had it right. No need for an underground cistern, above-ground plastic tanks are available. Then you can mitigate the cost and usage of city water.

If the government "believes in the Bahamas", why do they find it necessary to import festivities rooted in other cultures?

Thanks for all of your time and effort removing the deadly scourge of marijuana from our streets. Imagine all of the overdoses you've prevented.

Why is this woman here leading anything? Why would we aspire to be anything like Uganda, a tragic, backwards laughingstock of the international community? As the rest of the world moves forward Uganda nestles safely in the 1700's. Ridiculous.

What is happening? Uganda became the subject of international scorn and derision when they passed those laws. Why are we looking to Uganda for advice on how to move forward instead of backwards?

Wow, lkorky, you missed the point entirely.
